An eye for an eye is never enough.
Kallie Riviere, hoodoo trouble magnet thought things couldn't get worse after the hoodoo bogeyman, Doctor Heron came after her and hers over a case of mistaken identity. But when Kallie finds her cousin Jackson's protective juju bag laying in the yard of their aunt's house and no trace of her cousin or his beloved pooch, Kallie knows her nightmare has only just begun. Now magic is backfiring and an unnaturally large storm is heading straight for Louisiana, Kallie fears she's the cause and might be the only one who can save the lives of not only the people she loves but herself as well. Kallie will stop at nothing to fix what has been broken and charges head first into danger, and finds a loups-garous looking to steal her heart....literally.
Review
I'm in absolute love with this series. Black Heart Loa picks up right where Black Dust Mambo leaves off. The book starts with Kallie, Belladonna, her aunt and the real Gabbi LaRue looking for a way to find Kallie's cousin Jackson, who they fear has also fallen victim to the dastardly Doctor Heron. But their plans go to hellfire when a couple of thugs in ski-masks burst in shotguns swinging. Meanwhile we're informed that Jackson was indeed taken and buried alive only to be saved by three strangers. And as luck would have it, during their get away, they run none other than Layne Valin, our sexy nomad Vessel off the road, sending his motorcycle and him tumbling to the ditch. As Layne lies unconscious his passenger, the late Augustine Basil fights to keep Layne safe against the clutches of one very pissed off ghost, Babette St. Cyr, Doctor Heron's wife. This happens all with in the first handful of chapters. I know many people might dislike the way the characters seem to effect each other even without knowing they're in fact responsible for that event, I do. I like Jackson's rescuers being the ones to drive Layne off the road, it lends the feeling of that old saying when it rains it pours. Plus it helps give hope to not only the characters but the reader as well when you finally get an affirmative that hey Jackson and his dog are alive (YAY! jazz hands). I enjoyed the new twist and turns, you don't look at the book and say how bout some loups-garous, and maybe Baron Samedi possessing a man with a mullet. It's fun. I loved the point of view of Cielo, Jackson's husky, I think it's sweet and very child like. I want to read more of this series, I'm so intrigued by Delvin Daniels, the Demon Wolf, loups-garous born on the cross-roads, I mean how can there not be an epic story there. He's only in the book for maybe a chapter but it left me wanting so much more. I want to know his deal and why did he mark Kallie, I mean what's going on? I encourage everyone who likes magic and mayhem and sexy southern men to read this series, you will not be disappointed.
