review 1: Gosh, a real roller-coaster read - some bits I loved and some were OK, so overall a 3.5* readI struggled a bit at the start to get into the story - maybe because Fx isn't your typical instantly likeable character. Once I had some time to actually sit and read it did gel a bit more for me. It did kind of feel like three (I think) stories - the murder that Tucker witnessed, the Fox family chronicles and the voodoo businesses. They did mingle through the book, sometimes seamlessly and sometimes it was a big full stop, deep breath and off in a different direction. Fox did kind of grow on me, not sure I would say I liked him but kind of understood the root of his character!I liked the Fox family intrigue the best - all the history in families that we don't know about, how we th... moreen view parents etc, how it all forms us for the future.Probably will get book 2 to see where it all goes now!
review 2: I don't know what I was expecting when I started this, but I got a whole lot more than I bargained for. First of all, when the backdrop is the "Big Easy", I am half way there on the "like" meter. Jon Fox is a PI who has a family background that would kill a normal human being. Suicide, insanity, deep dark secrets, that have ruled his world since he was young. In walks Tucker,a snarky, sometimes clueless, playwright, that has come back to his roots in NOLA. The events of the story were set long in the past, but explode in the future when Tucker witnesses a murder. Their relationship starts to blossom amid a thrill ride as Fox tries to protect Tucker. Unfortunately, the baggage they carry continually trips them up. The plot is complex, the action sequences are amazing. I had to step back and say "wow" several times. If all that isn't enough, a little Voodoo, is thrown into the mix. The two authors stirred their pot, but at the same time knew where they were going. I'm so glad I got to ride shotgun. The ending was not what I expected, and I admit to selfishly wishing it had ended differently. But then, there is suppose to be a sequel. Maybe, I'll get what I want in that one. So if you don't mind it not being "easy", this is for you. I give it a bayou full of stars. less
