This book was free so of course I had to read it. It kept me reading because it was unlike anything I've read lately. I loved the fact that I couldn't guess with this book. I never knew what was coming and that kept me interested. I'm curious about Ivan though...that's the one thing I'm dying to find out.Arelia & Sabrina go to New Orleans for the summer to work at LaPlante family house. Of course there's this handsome, mysterious guy that both the girls like and then there's annoying yet good-looking Ivan who seems to know a lot about what is going on but doesn't give anything away. As Arelia learns that she is a voodoo queen blessed by Erzulie, she realizes that she is powerful and talented. She starts learning the basics and background information with aunt Mae.She saves 10 year old Ben after he was bite by a rattlesnake ans from then she starts coming to terms with what she is. While on a tour of the slave cabins Lucus tells everyone a story of the family history. And a ghost story and you don't find out until the end that he in fact is the ghost. Arelia thinks he lead her on on purpose because he wants to be freed from his curse and just as she tells him she is going to leave he tells her his true feelings. I bought the rest of this series after that. Nice cliffhanger!
