review 1: This book opens with a great action driven plot and intriguing charcters, so I thought it would be a great read. However, Phoenix lets the reader down with the character development as they spend the entire book racing around playing catch up with the transpiring events. It was overly ambitious with the plot twists and the time spent on character development was all over the spectrum and didn't really evolve into strong or admirable charcters by the end of the book. I don't think I will read further in the series and would be hesitant to purchase other books by this author.
review 2: Not a bad book. I enjoyed the hoodoo/voudou aspects, but there were a number of things that didn't ring true there (pull out a mojo bag in public? I don't think so.). Some of the ... moredialog didn't strike me as genuine, as well as some of the characters' actions. However, it was an amusing fantasy romp, which was a quick read, and the interesting aspects of the plot will get me to pick up the next book in the series. less
