Naturally, she seeks help from the town's delectable Sheriff. If only she can keep her hands to herself.

Good book
I must say that Sojourner’s extreme stubbornness wore me down. I was like, enough already.Mike was sweet. He know he was crazy about him some Sojourner. I like the mystery surrounding the book and was very much entertained.

Great book! Love this author!
This author always have great stories. The way she writes with such depth is incredible. The book was not that long but felt longer (in a good way) because of her writing. She gets to the point without all the unnecessary extra fluff to make the book longer.....Now about the book. How can you make someone believe in the supernatural that only believe in what they can touch and prove? I can't to read how they will convince Freddy and High. Do Freddy and Quinn have a love connection like Mike and Sojo? It seems like they are working in pairs to find the crystals so who will be working High, Zora? And who is the darkness? So I many questions which I hope some will be answered in book 2.

So So.Good!!
Love it! Love it! The writer weaves a story that is not only stepped in truth but in the belief that there's something other than what you can see and feel. This was not only good,but you can literally see and hear as if this story is being told. I love the relationships that are blossoming and old ones that are being fixed. The transition between the old world and the new is done so smoothly that you can't really tell and you know it has to happen ,so you wait. This was and is stellar writing and storytelling, from a mind that can appreciate the reader. So looking g forward to the next installment.

blown away
First, Sojo’s nickname is annoying!! Like seriously, and so is she. Secondly, this is an amazing story with a powerful message and I seriously need everyone to read this. Outside of it being a wonderful romance story it’s just a great concept. I’m so very glad I don’t have to wait for the next book.

Always a good read
Great story, good suspense, and lots of cliffhangers. Oh and romance was PG13 but great for the imagination. This author does not disappoint.

The power of family and Legacy
This book tugged at my heart! It’s not just about the magic and history that America try’s to hide. It’s about the tenacity of going forth and doing what needs to be done to keep our heritage alive.
The romance, family drama, and small town nosiness just adds to the genuineness of this book.
This author does a a great job with detail that can be scary and hilarious at the same time.
This new series and author has become one of my favs and this is only the first book.

The protagonist was WAY too stubborn for me and caused me to nearly trash the whole series and not even continue.
BUT.
The story and the hotness were 10/10! the amazing way the author weaves in African/African American history and magic/horror is magnificent. She stepped up her erotic scene game too, but not to the point of being overly explicit, and she does this perfectly. Definitely an enjoyable read.
On to book 2!

Exceeded expectations
I normally don’t like sci-fi but this is an interesting book because of a lot of history. I started reading and almost stopped but the pages kept me intrigued. The characters are well written and I think I will read part 2.🤔

Excellent black history month read
I can't say that I built a bond with the lead character Sojo. She was a little on the selfish side but she grew on me. The plot of this book was original and held my attention. I'm looking to part 2.

A wonderful mixture of now and then!
This first book kept me reading and waiting for the next, and the next, and the next! The mixture of past and present is nicely balanced. I’m ready for book 2!

Location St Treme
Prompt: ancestral knowledge
I thought this was fun and I do hope that in the next books we see Sojo and her mom mend their relationship.
Looking forward to the next book
This is probably as close to a spicy cozy mystery that I’ve ever read.

Family!!
Wonderful writing grabs the reader from the first page. I loved the close relationship between the siblings, looking out for one another. Though not a usual romance reader, this fantasy-based story is a great read. Well done.

I imagined that Mike looked like Jonathan Majors and I encourage everyone else to do that as well 🔥 Sojo stop being so hard headed, girl.

Good!!
I enjoyed the names and nicknames of the characters. Sojo was a bit stubborn and got on my nerves at times. The story keeps your attention. Will be getting the next book to see what happens.
