Witches and Demons, Murder and Maiming, oh my, you’ve just entered Nola Nash’s world in New Orleans 1820s. This book absolutely breaks the genre rules and falls into my I don’t know what I just read but I absolutely loved it category. I think I saw this is book 1 in a series and let me tell you know I’m watching for book 2.

the atmosphere was haunting, the characters were truly ‘characters’. The main character is Zéolie was turning 21 and having her big party when the chaos ensued. It began with the murder of her father in his bed, where he was horribly mangled and contorted and no stab or bullet wounds were found. No one heard a sound. Next came the priest that arrives offer her father’s last rites. He falls dead shortly after entering the room, very similar to her father. How are the police or Zéolie supposed to catch a killer no one can see?

The story takes you from the French Quarter to the Ninth Ward, the Ursuline Convent and a special young nun, Angelle that may have answers for Zéolie. Then deep into the Louisiana swamps to meet a voodoo priestess, and the Ursuline Convent and a special young nun, Angelle that may have answers for Zéolie. Apparently there are many secrets in Zéolie’s parents life she didn’t know and the secrets are deadly.

I don’t want to say too much. I absolutely loved this story, and the end left me gasping and a bit sad. If you love New Orleans, witches, voodoo and a dark haunting story pick this one up! I highly recommend.

Thank you to @suzyapprovedbooktours and @nolanash for my copy of the book to review.
