Review: This book comes in installments!

I enjoyed the premise of this book and the two that follow. In a literary world of too many vampires and obscenely wealthy men, it is refreshing to read something different. I love New Orleans and felt like I was experiencing the ambience of the voodoo plantation along with the characters. I think Aurelia's inner struggle with being a "powerful voodoo queen", and not just weird, was as expected for her age and life experience.What I did not like was the fact that what began as a "free" book became an installment package that costs $2.99 each. There is no stopping point, since each "book" just suddenly ends, as if in a cliffhanger. To find out what happens next, you must buy the next installment. I would have liked to have known that on the front end. Now, I'm $6 into a book (a single book, since each installment isn't very long) and must wait for yet another portion to be made available to me! At least a "series" would have finally given me a conclusion by now and probablly wouldn't have cost so much!Will I purchase the next installment? Of course. I want to know what happens to Louis and Lucas. But next time, I'll read the fine print on the "free" book offer.
