Description

Blood Moon over the Mississippi

The year is 1923, and Violet Miller, muse to the artists of New York and Europe, socialite and actress, arrives New Orleans. Tired of the grey monoliths of Manhattan, she goes in search of the country life and a taste of jazz and creole spice. A life of anonymity amongst ornate cast iron porches and sweet flower blossoms. When an uninvited guest invades her sanctuary, Violet is thrown into the world of New Orleans after dark.

The taste of dangerous cocktails, voodoo magic, and encounters with creatures of the night draw her away from the light of day into the embrace of conjure men and vampires. Will she sacrifice her life and succumb to the deadly allure of the moonless night?

When Juniper is taken by a rogue alien, the men are frantic to find her as they realize that she means more to each of them than they knew. Will they find her before it is too late?
