Date: 03 6, 2014
Backwoods, Ignorant, Crazy, and Poor, those are just some of the words that Jayden Washington would use to describe his Mama's family. His Grandmama is a high voodoo priestess, but Jayden doesn't believe in the stuff, surely none of it's real. However, Grandmama gives him a very serious gift with an even more serious warning, "Don't take the dog tags off, EVER. The damsel in distress, the white zombie, she will kill you." How is he supposed to take that?Adrienne St. Croix has just moved to New Orleans from Atlanta. Her sister died 5 years ago here, but they never found her body to know the how's or why's.  There are two things she wants to do while she's here: 1. find out what happened to her sister, 2. make it in the music business. She's been excepted to an elite private school on scholarship because her voice is so good, but will being the poor scholarship student lead to her demise? The boys stop and stare at the beautiful girl with the white blond hair and eyes as green as emeralds, but that only leads to jealous females. As she finds more out about her sister and her disappearance, will she take her place in her destiny?Oh, but don't forget Rene, the second in command to the voodoo gang that keeps things undercontrol in the projects. He's the warrior according to the spirits, and he's taken it upon himself to protect Adrienne. Could he make a love triangle?Just when you think Lizzy Ford can't possibly get you more hooked in another series, you find out your wrong. This book is NO different, yet it is.  The story is so real you can see it playing in your mind as if watching it on a screen. It's rich in the voodoo culture and French language, full of all that makes up New Orleans post Katrina.  As the story is weaved, we learn more about what brings the curse together and the families involved. I love the fact that there's no guessing at the end of the book, you know who are involved, how they are involved, and why they are involved.  The tale of Jayden and Adrienne is of two star crossed lovers, fighting all the circumstances against them and then some.I anxiously await the second book in the series, to know if and how the curse if broken. I wonder if there is someone in it for Rene and if so is it Adrienne or Tara? How will him being a warrior come into play? Will Kimmie take the hexes off and how do they come back to her?This is a 5 STAR Read and then some, be warned, when you start it you won't want to stop.**This book will cause sleep loss, crankiness in the morning, yearning for book two, and many pots of coffee to wake your zombie butt up.**I received an arc copy of this book for my honest review.
