13. Cycles of the Moon by Eric Wilder

After being immersed in non-fiction for the past 2 weeks, I needed a fiction break.

So I am back in New Orleans with Wyatt Thomas and friends, dealing with lots of paranormal stuff. .
This series is a nice break. Lots of New Orleans atmosphere, humidity, jazz and food.

Synopsis:
It's not good to live in the past; even worse to die in it

Paranormal investigator Wyatt Thomas awakens from a vivid dream in his French Quarter apartment. He finds an antique double-moonstone pendant placed in his hand by the ghost of a voodoo mambo. One of the two moonstones is missing, and both gemstones are needed to make the pendant magical.

The rightful owner of the pendant is a supernatural fairy named Maurelle. Someone chopped off Maurelle’s wings and buried her alive in the ruins of a French Quarter Creole townhouse. A mystical beast still haunts the grounds of the estate. Now, the fairy’s lifeless body lies in the archaeology department of the University of New Orleans. To raise Maurelle from the dead, Wyatt must travel back in time to Antebellum New Orleans, find the lost moonstone and then return safely to the present.

This is a 14 book series, but it does not need to be read in order. Wilder keeps the stories connected without too much repetition. The recurring characters are very entertaining.
