Synopsis:
College senior, Lottie Boyd, expects to drink too much while on spring
break in New Orleans. What she doesn't expect is to be haunted. Or fall in
love. But that's exactly what happens.
It starts with strange, vivid dreams about a 19th century widow so desperate
to save her sick little girl, she's willing to do anything--even if it involves
the black magic of Voodoo. It doesn't end there. Voices, ghost sightings,
familiarity with things and places she couldn't possibly know. All leading her
to the Villere House of Voodoo and the young Creole owner, Xavier Villere.
Xavier is compelled to help and is drawn to Lottie in a way he's never
known, but skepticism of his family's century-old link to Voodoo and the occult
keep her at arms length. If he can only come to terms with his heritage, he
might be able to help solve the mystery of the widow plaguing Lottie's dreams.
And maybe even find love in the process.
Note: Villere House is an adult romance and not suitable for readers under
18.
Excerpt:
Xavier continued to stand
there, trapping her in the bathroom. His eyes lingered on her and he looked
like he wanted to say something. Lottie wanted to ask, but her words were as
trapped as his.
Finally, he pushed off
the jamb. "Well, I guess I should let you try to get some shut-eye."
She could only nod and
follow him back into the bedroom with the massive, gorgeous bed.
"Need
anything?"
A couple of silk scarves
tying her wrists to one of the posts.
"Bourbon?" He
prodded.
"I think I'm good.
Thanks."
"I won't be far, so
if you change your mind..."
It was possible she was
imagining it, or hopelessly optimistic, but she thought she saw a glimmer of
her own desires reflected in his dark brown eyes. He was lingering...
Voodoo, Haunting ghosts, New Orleans….Need I say more.
With Halloween right around the corner, I was in the mood for a spooky read.
Now, I don’t like horror and this was the perfect book for me. It had just the
right amount of creepy to set mood.
Charlotte has arrived in New Orleans with her friends
for spring break fun. Not long after she arrives she starts to have vivid
dreams and hear strange voices. She’s blames it on the alcohol. HA! The alcohol
always gets the blame. It doesn’t take long for the weird to get weirder. She
soon finds herself wondering aimlessly and drawn into a voodoo shop where she
meets Xavier Villere. She’s immediately captivated by Xavier and it’s reflected
in the way Xavier acts as well.
Charlotte soon finds herself in a trance following a
ghost. This ghost leads her into
dangerous streets and has her doing strange things to herself. She dreams of a
strange dead Voodoo Queen and strangers from the past. She’s not even going to
play like it’s no big deal. She may be going crazy or she may be in danger.
Lottie turns to the only person who may be able to help, Xavier.
“‘A
chicken foot? …….A Talisman of protection.’”
These two join forces to figure out what is after Lottie.
Working together they set out to put the pieces their ancestors are leaving
them. While solving the mystery it seems their hearts are falling for each
other. Or are they? Are they so involved in the past that it’s clouding their
futures? After all there is more than just one connection. You have to read to find out and step into
the French Quarter and take a trip down memory lane with a Voodoo mystery.
“The
love between them…I couldn’t let you deny it. And it’s still in me, just like
it’s still in you. I can feel it. I know you do too.”
I rate this one 4
mysteriously haunting stars. It’s a quick easy read. I absolutely loved the
magical and historical elements coming into play with this one. I can’t forget
the Romance that is woven in to the past and present. How bitter-sweet it is. Lottie
and Xavier’s adventure was a thrilling and entertaining one. I’m glad that
everything works out in the end, or did it? I’ll be waiting to read the sequel “Bayou
Grise” to find out what’s going to happen next.
