GENRE: Urban FantasyTHEME: Voodoo, Witches, and ZombiesRECEIVED: Received for Review from AuthorBLOG: [...]REVIEW:VooDoo Dues was such a thrill, I loved the characters, setting and the plot was so entertaining and fun I couldn't get enough. With a spunky shoe loving protagonist along her timid and very knowledgeable boss the duo is a bundle of greatness.VooDoo Dues follows Figg she works at a bar that gets either no customers or very strange ones dealing with both voodoo and magic. Her boss Lian tends to be the man to come to when dealing with odd things, even the very well known local voodoo queen. Not too long after her visit crazy things start to happen, including a chicken leg being left on Figg's doorstep and the dead body of the voodoo queens grandson. Figg and Lian are put in the middle of a zombie fest and family feud.Figg is hilarious and I love how this girl grew up with a father who is a mechanic, loves guns and that the most important things to her are her shoes and her dog. She gets stuck in this crazy situation with Lian after he tells her about voodoo, werewolves, zombies and all things that go bump in the night that exist. They even get involved with the police a little too many times, while zombies are chasing after them.Lian was a very different male lead, his timid nature and mystery about his past was something that intrigues me about him. I am hoping that in the next book Simmons gets a little more detail on his past. He's definitely a good guy who would protect and be there for Figg anytime and not to mention he has a major soft spot for her.Overall this was a great start to Lian and Figg's series by Stephany Simmons, I can't wait to see what crazy paranormal adventure they get mixed up in next. But I have a good feeling were going to see more detective work in the future with them. I highly recommend this novel, with a mix of mystery, romance, magic and paranormal beings.RECOMMENDATION:This is an adult book that would be a perfect fit for fans of Kim Harrisons The Hollow Series and Maria Lima's Blood Line Series.
