MY REVIEW

Ok this isn't just a check it out and read , this is a MUST READ book. I got so sucked into this book. I read it and couldn't put it down, It takes place in New Orleans, so you know there is going to be voodoo and black magic happening . And boy is there ever , actually from the very first page.  There is also murder, ,mystery and love . 

   In this story we meet Moses Byone, a retired police officer, who now is a private eye who gets pulled into helping solve the murder of a prominent  white lawyer. As he works hard to discover the truth of what happened. But will he survive to find out what is going on.

  The author takes us on a wild, wild ride. Set in the 1970's New Orleans. It is gritty and the twists and turns will keep you reading until late into the night. This is a very fast paced book.  Which to me is a great asset. Its straight to the point and like I said gritty. You don't have to read page after page to figure out what is happening. It is concise and to the point but still will take you on such a ride . You will get so engrossed , you will be reading well into the night

   The characters in this book are so well written, they are so realistic and trust me you will want to hug Moses a few times . His character development was great, the characters came alive within the pages. They will jump out at you when you are reading.

  I really enjoyed this book. It was a hard book to put down cause I so wanted to see how things turned out for Moses. It is a quick read and you will have it done in an evening but it is a really great read . I can't wait till book 2. This is going to be a great series and I hope it goes on for a while . So if you want a great mystery mixed in there voodoo , murder and love . This is the book for you . Trust me you will not be disappointed at all .
