She wanted him under her spell... Deja Devine, a renowned New Orleans psychic, knew she wanted Hennessy before she ever knew his name.

Dejanette Devine is a psychic by trade, but after the hurricane, her life's blood, the city's radio stations, are still struggling to get back on the air. That plus the tourist traffic in New Orlean's French Quarter is significantly low is causing her small business to suffer. It would be easier to use the government stipend to start again somewhere else, but she has to rebuild her life and her mother's house. Her mother is dying of liver disease due to years of heavy drinking. She wants to die in her own house, not in Tennessee with a disapproving older sister. Deja forgave her mother a long time ago for her alcohol addiction and now, wants to honor the woman's dying wish.

The writing in this book is wonderful I liked the the langue of the people in New Orleans in this book I felt like I was talking to my FB friend Levette Williams her voice is musical and southern and the author made me hear it reading this book. This is the third book I have read that included music in the past couple of weeks and this author made sure I hear the songs. Hennessy was a man I was not sure about at fist he came off kind of selfish but is is torn between his freedom, his music and his family but Deja adds more to list and see what happens when soul mates fly together. The story is part mystery , part love story with a small amount of paranormal it all comes together like a bowl of good gumbo.
