Review: Interesting concept, but I was hoping for a little more...

I really, really wanted to love this book.  I tried so hard.  Please don't get me wrong; it wasn't a terrible read by any means.  Maybe it's because the whole idea of voodoo queens isn't all that appealing to me.  I really did like the main character, Arelia LaRue.  Honestly, I couldn't stomach her BFF... she was just a little too much to handle and didn't seem all that realistic to me.  There were a few too many punctuation and grammatical errors as well.The love interest portions of the story were great, and I like the fact that the author went with something completely different than all of the other paranormal fiction that's currently circulating.  It was refreshing to have the story take place in New Orleans; it put me in mind of the Sookie Stackhouse series in that aspect.  But, aside from that, I just couldn't immerse myself in the plot.
