The story of Blackwater begins in 1964 Louisiana, and begins slow. We are introduced to Lorelei, the main character, and are led through the story through her perspective. I'm not going to lie, Pre-sh***torm Lorelei is annoying and brainless and everything she thinks makes me want to reach through the pages and shake her. But other characters shake her and that was enough for me. Post-s***storm Lorelei is awesome though, and it is after she comes into her own that I finally called All Hail.The story line is gripping and had me obsessed right to the end. The characters are solid, the plot is solid, I LOVE the cameo appearance of other characters (brilliantly done and something I had hoped would happen!)There were only two words in the entire book that were misspelled so that was a bonus. This story seems to have a wonderfully delicate blend of authentic Cajun grit, contemporary Urban Fantasy, and classic mystery that all come together and make the story absolutely riveting.I hate that I have to wait until Fall 2013 to read the next book... Is that selfish of me? Whatever, I don't care. Write faster, Woman!
