To be completely honest I purchased this book based purely off of the cover and title, and I am so glad I did. This turned out to be an unexpectedly great find, and I am so glad I got to read it. The mystery, romance (however sad and unorthodox it might be) and the thrill were amazing. It seemed as if this novel was a bit on the dark side for a YA, but after reading it I feel as if it wasn't really. Lisa Maxwell did a superb job writing this book and for it to be her debut novel is amazing. The language and culture in the book are amazingly well done and the characters are easy to relate to, hard to keep yourself from falling in love with and completely unforgettable.
I don't know maybe I'm being biased because I really enjoy the New Orleans, creole, voodoo, ghosts, southern superstitions and the like, but I really feel this was a great read, but this is just my opinion. If you want to know more about this book please click on the purchase link above and read the synopsis and form your own opinion.
I was completely immersed and enthralled with this enchanting story about voodoo and hoodoo, magic, trapped and wandering souls, good and evil, love that transcends time and goes on through multiple lifetimes, history, friendships and family. I couldn't get enough, I laughed, cried and rooted for good to defeat evil, I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was behind it all and what would happen next. Maxwell knew what she was doing with the traditional New Orleans themes of voodoo, sacrifice, possession and ghosts, and boy did she do it well, I cannot wait to find out what is in store for Lucy, so I hope there is a follow up story!
