review 1: Hurricane is the 3rd Installment of a series of books decicated to famous Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. Dr. Marie Laveau is the great great granddaughter of the voodoodienne.Dr. Lauveau has finally embraced the heritage that has been both a curde and a blessing to the women descendants of Maman Laveau. I it was a good read but was lacking as suspense as the previous book. I thank the aurthor for keeping the culture and history of New Orleans and the Afircans that have made it the cultural city that it is.
review 2: Let me start off by saying that I won this wonderful signed copy from the Goodreads Giveaway. I had no idea there were two books out before Hurricane when I had won this book and I was not familiar with the author, Jewell Parker Rhodes, prior to readi... moreng this book. But I'm glad I won a signed copy because the book was beyond amazing (I finished it in one day).I've never read a book like this - ever. I wasn't sure what to expect since I wasn't familiar with the series and I felt I wouldn't connect with the main character, Marie, because of it. But the more I read, the more I felt it didn't matter whether or not I read Season or Moon because Rhodes wrote in a way that made sure those who did not read book 1 and 2 would still understand the characters, even the ones that did not show up in this book because of certain events that happened in the previous installment.So, all in all, I enjoyed this book very much. Very descriptive of the locations - making me wish I was there to see the beauty of New Orleans and Louisiana in person. I would definitely recommend this book, but I would also recommend whoever planning to read it that has not read the first two books should read the first two before reading this one since it is the final book in the trilogy. less
