My thoughts:
I absolutely loved this book. When I was putting up my review in Goodreads I noticed this book had a pretty low rating and I couldn’t believe it! I thought this book was so well written, it was unique, and it was such a quick and easy read!
I loved the meshing of the past and the present. I loved the supernatural element and the voodoo involved. I loved that it took place in New Orleans because the voodoo culture is so fascinating to me. I loved the characters and how they interacted with each other. I mean, I generally hate insta-love and over the top romance in books but I even liked the romance in the book. The insta-love was the biggest complaint with the Goodreads reviews and I wanted to ask those people if we read the same book because I took things so much differently than most people did. It wasn’t even a huge focus in the book!
Anyway, I really enjoyed this book. The premise and the way it was told was intoxicating in my opinion. I immediately bought book 2 and I can’t wait to read it!
