First I have to say I have read several books from Dina and each one I love! She has a gift for writing and she knows how to bring a world together and keep you there riveted to your seat until the very end. Thank you Full Moon Bites Blog Tours for allowing me to be a part of this EPIC tour.Bad Juju is a combination of suspense, history, and life lessons.In this story we meet Lucien who is a Haitian Bokor which is a voodoo sorcerer. He is fleeing his country Haiti and winds up in Wisconsin in a trailer park. Not the best or ideal place but a great place for someone who wants to hide. While there at the trailer park he meets a teen named Jake who is in foster care with his abusive uncle.Jake really takes to Lucien and Lucien decides he is going to teach Jake Voodoo. Jake is an easy candidate for voodoo because he is angry and hurt which leaves his mind open to the arts. The only thing is Jake is using the arts to hurt people who have hurt him. He doesn't realize that voodoo if done wrong can bounce off that person and come back on you. At school Jake is a loner and while in in-house suspension Jake meets Henry who has Asperger's Syndrome. Together they use voodoo to punish the ones who have wronged them. Then Henry gets a chance to go to Haiti to help rebuild it after the earth quake.Lucien sees his opportunity to reach out to his family but when Henry goes to Haiti he disappears. There are forces that are working against Lucien and they will stop at nothing to get revenge. What will happen to Henry in Haiti? What will happen to Lucien? Will Jake be punished as well. Because remember when you play with fire you get burnt! Voodoo is something that should be taken serious and not a s a game and the three of them will find out exactly what happens when you decide to mess with voodoo.
