I was hired to provide post publication proofreading for this novel. Because Ms. Theriot has hired me in the past, she probably suspected that I would write a review when I finished (because I know she's read previous reviews), but it was not part of our agreement. I made the decision on my own because I like to review every book I read now, and reading is an integral part of proofreading. If you feel my connection with the book makes my review suspect, so be it, but this is my honest review.
I read in all genres and most sub-genres, but there are still some types of books that don't really appeal to me, and this was one of those books. I just don't find myself drawn to mob stories and they don't really do much for me. Honestly, I've never seen The Godfather or watched a single episode of The Sopranos. It's just a trope that doesn't appeal to me. So I found myself far less interested in this book than I would have liked.
The book did redeem itself for me slightly with the inclusion of the paranormal elements via a voodoo priestess though. The sections of the story dealing with voodoo intrigued me and helped to keep me at least mildly interested in the book. I would honestly have liked to have seen even more about the voodoo aspect myself (but that's probably due in large part to my disinterest in Mob stories.)
Overall I give this book 3 out of 5 stars because I was only ever mildly interested in the story. It's not a bad book, it's just not for me.
