Voodoo witches in love, destined to save New Orleans!
Gris gris dust blows, hungry lwa awaken, and it is up to Marie Laveau's spunky heir May Laveau, her girlfriend Pharah Montanee, and her guardians, Raphael and Papa Legba, to save New Orleans from hungry Marinette Dry-Arms' loup garou army and the ever-duplicitous Mister Carrefour and his zombies in this Voodoo-flavored mix of Shadowshaper and Akata Witch.
Feisty Star Trek and comic book nerd May Laveau is her generation's Chwal, blessed with the power to bring balance to Gineh, the realm of the lwa, Heaven, and Earth. Drawing on her family roots of Kreyol magick and folk Catholicism, May and her girlfriend Pharah must protect her country hometown of Snake's Hollow and soon all of Louisiana as the darkness of the Petro lwa spreads, a blackness she and only the immortals can see.
With help from the angels, the classic rock-obsessed Mister Carrefour, and the wild Erzulie Sisters, May and Pharah are in for a wild ride with May's guardian angel Raphael and head spirit Papa Legba, navigating the wilds of Snakes Hollow and Gineh and discovering herself along the way.
I won this via giveaway. Unfortunately I don't enjoy this author's writing style. I find the sentence structure often is unnecessarily confusing. I also think the information in each paragraph is laid out poorly. Both of these factors make the book a struggle to read. Bummer because the concept is cool.
Couldn't get past the writing style. Don't lame enough of the characters to care about them, just that they keeps ghouls away because it runs in the family.
DNF @ 10% I received a copy of this ebook in a Goodreads giveaway. I had trouble getting into this book, I didn’t care for the writing style and the story didn’t compel me to continue.
