Yellow Moon

"A spooky, sexy novel about things that go bump in the night."-Kirkus Reviews"Fans of vampire and New Orleans horror will find this an unexpected and thought provoking treat."-BooklistAmerican Book Award winner Jewell Parker Rhodes' acclaimed Voodoo series began with the best-selling Voodoo Season. Part two of the trilogy, Yellow Moon is an atmospheric tale set in New Orleans, where the old horrors of racial oppression rise upto haunt the present. Medical doctor Marie Levant-descendant of the legendary Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau-is tired of seeing blood-drained corpses arrive at the hospital each night, and tired of being haunted by their ghosts. To protect herself and her loved ones, she'll need to use all her skills to expel the deadly spirit responsible for the murders-an African vampire called a wazimamoto. Rhodes crafts a "satisfying and eerie story that lies somewhere between the work of Anne Rice and James Lee Burke" (Kirkus Reviews). Myra Lucretia Taylor impeccably narrates the provocative tale.
