Black Dust Mambo

Out of the frying pan and into the Hellfire.

 

 

Kallie Riviere is a sassy, fiery, Cajun hoodoo with a knack for trouble, and she finds herself smack dab in the middle of the last thing she ever dreamed of touching, dark juju. After a night of drinking and partying in New Orleans for the annual carnival of magic, with her good-looking, hard-bodied nomad conjurer hookup, Kallie wakes up finding Gage's dead bloodied souless body. Not knowing what to do she does the only thing a girl can do when in this situation, she calls her best friend, Belladonna Brown. But before Bell can get to Kallie's room another knocks on her door, opening it she finds herself face to face with the honey dreaded, nomad vessel, Layne Valin. Not knowing who he is or what he wants, Kallie only knows is that when their gazes meet she feels an overwelming connection to the nomad. Fate's a cruel bitch because Layne's best friend is the very man lying dead in Kallie's bed and the worst part is Gage doesn't seem to be the intended target of the soul-eating hex. As Kallie and her friends try to stay alive, Kallie's search for the truth leads her to the one place she never anticipated, Bayou Cypres Noir, her home and to Gabrielle LaRue, her aunt who is looking more and more like she's the one who wants Kallie dead.

　Review

Black Dust Mambo by Adrian Phoenix is a magically good time. I'm a Louisiana girl so I can't tell you enough how much I enjoy reading books set in beautiful Louisiana. I so very much adore reading about subjects that aren't beat to death and a novel saturated in loas and hoodoo and all it's facinating bits was extremely enteraining. I also enjoyed the characters, I could so easily hear their cajun drawl in my head evertime they spoke and Layne Valin is so yummily written he is most definately on my book-boyfriend-list. There is so much to like about Black Dust Mambo, all I can say is give me more.
