Product Description
The last fight between the werewolf clans spilled onto the streets of New Orleans—and now the whole city’s on red alert. Martial law has gone into effect. Mediums, ghost hunters, and other supernatural pundits have taken over the media, swarming the Big Easy to expose the hard truth about lycanthropes. And to make matters worse, a beastly killer is clawing up humans…
Secret government operative Sasha Trudeau doesn’t like what she’s seeing—a series of brutal and bloody slayings that appear to be wolf-like attacks. It might be the work of a copy cat killer—vampire or Unseelie or some other enemy of the Seelie clan. But while Sasha races to find suspects and motives, the panic level is rising—and the city’s human population is clamoring for an all-out wolf hunt…

A second team led by human Colonel Madison, who detests and fears the paranormal, are sent to New Orleans to give an unbiased account. Sasha knows he will get his unit killed and stary a war thaat will end with millions killed because the colonel is unaware of the various species, their governing boards or their unique power. Ancient were-leopard Junq Suk forms an alliance with Vampire Elder Vlad.

Never Cry Werewolf is a marvelous magical military urban fantasy. Sasha finally comes to grips with her feelings about Hunter who is injured trying to prevent a war from breaking out. She also comes to grip with her half-human and half shadow wolf nature. However, what makes this latest action adventure Crimson Moon tale so good is L.A. Banks uncanny skill of using the military via her heroine, the brass and Madison to make the supernatural natural.

Those who are followers of the series, or simply those readers who want a wonderful paranormal romance/suspense read will love what LA Banks has done this go around. In "Never Cry Werewolf", we see Sasha Trudeau and members of her Paranormal Containment Unit trying to prevent the world from learning the truth about the war going on between the paranormals. Sent to Norad Headquarters in the Colorado Rockies, Sasha must learn to play by her new Colonel's rules, which proves to be challenging since he doesn't exactly believe in those things that go bump in the night. On top of that, there are some alliances being made with one goal in mind, to bring down the wolves and their allies. Someone or something is committing some very heinous crimes hoping that the wolves will be blamed and destroyed. The issue is who is at the center of this conspiracy. All clues point to someone within their inner circle and everyone is stunned to learn of the participants. There appears to be no loyalty among them and everyone has their own agenda, to be at the top of the food chain.
What I enjoyed most about this particular installment in the series was the evolution of the main character, Sasha, who finally resolves her feelings for her mate's brother (Shogun), as well as her feelings about her position in the pack and her shadow self. While this story is clearly another brick in the foundation to the conclusion of the series, it also is a brilliantly written suspense story with just enough romance, mystery and action to make this an entertaining read. I definitely would recommend it to those who are lovers of the series, as well as those who want to read a great paranormal read.
