In the second part of the New Orleans trilogy that began with Voodoo Season (Washington Square Press, 2008), heroine Marie Levant is faced with an ancient African vampire. Echoing with the heartache and triumph of the African-American experience and the horrors of racial oppression, Yellow Moon gives readers an unforgettable heroine in the sexy, vulnerable and mysterious Marie Levant, while at the same time powerfully evoking a city on the brink of catastrophe.
