Wolf Gone Wild
Wolf Gone Wild is the first novel in Juliette Cross's Stay a Spell series, a paranormal-romance sequence set in a richly drawn supernatural New Orleans. Mateo Cruz is a brooding artist and werewolf from a powerful regional pack whose ability to shift into his wolf form has been blocked for months by a curse he cannot identify, leaving him sleepless, snarling, and unable to paint. On the recommendation of a friend, he reluctantly hires Evie Savoie, the youngest of the well-known Savoie witch sisters, who works out of a soothsayer's parlor in the French Quarter. Evie has the gentle, half-flighty manner of a much-protected youngest sister and a rare set of powers no one in her family fully understands. As the two of them work through one increasingly intimate counter-spell after another, the source of the original curse and the deeper history between New Orleans's werewolf packs and witch covens begin to surface. Cross writes paranormal romance with steady heat and a strong sense of place.
