This is a great novel! Set in New Orleans, the city of mystery and strange happenings all around, I savored the story with great enthusiasm. Secret Lavalle is an exciting, exotic character- a beautiful woman who is also a psychic reader, and one of the best in the city, at that. She is rather successful, and has many clients. Kane on the other hand, is mysterious, dark, and enthralling. He lurks behind the scenes, in a slightly confusing fashion at first, but later on it becomes apparent that he can sense Secret sensing him…and he is quite interested in this gorgeous character.Both of the characters really came alive in my mind as I kept the pages turning. Not only did I truly appreciate the setting of the book, I also liked the unique idea of such different, yet at the same time such similar fantasy characters. And while both of them are certainly not human and have inhuman capabilities, they still have very human-like emotions, feelings and thoughts that kept my attention all throughout the novel. They were both depicted very clearly by the author Sandra Ross, and I felt that the language perfectly matched the setting and the story. Most of the book was full of excitement and kept me longing to find out more. A well written story.
