Bayou Moon

At the place between the Broken (the world with no magic) and the Weird (the magical world) lies the Edge, which has aspects of both worlds. Cerisse and her acquired family live in the Mire and are searching for her parents, who appear to have been kidnapped by the evil Spider. William, a shape-shifter who will be familiar to those who know the first book of the series, is separately looking for revenge against Spider. Adventure and romance ensue. Renée Raudman works hard at building the mood and atmosphere of the story. She uses pace and intensity to keep up with the struggles of the characters, who are caught up in old feuds to protect their land and family.
