Voodoo on the Bayou by Elle James starts off with one of the most implausible hooks, but once you get past that, it moves along at a good pace.  The reason behind the voodoo curse is never really explained, or at least, the way it is explained makes absolutely no sense.  Furthermore, the reason Craig's so-called friends go along with it is never explained either.  But, once you move past that and just accept that the curse is reality, the fun begins.With Craig in frog form all day, he gets to stealthily observe his lady Elaine.  Elaine is a scientist whose own romance recently went off the rails.  She's not interested in a happily ever after or any "fun" on the side as she tries to figure out what is poisoning the bayou.  Craig, on the other hand, is in desperate need for someone, anyone, to fall in love with him in the next two weeks.  Without it, he'll be stuck as a frog for the rest of his life.Add one bad guy, one loyal dog, two ridiculously silly friends, and boil it all up for a fun story.  Sadly, the fun is mixed with some really bad mojo.  The characters are a bit too stereotypical - everyone from the Voodoo Priestess to Lisa the tramp.  The slimy bad guy?  Yeah, he's so obvious the flies had a field day with him.  Need a mouthy neighborhood gossip?  She's right here.  Even Elaine is your stereotypical "can't see the forest for the trees" scientist.RATING: 2Heat Rating:  MildREVIEWED BY: Monique Neaves, My Book Addiction Reviews
