ITS THE WEEKEND LETS READ

 Good afternoon my peeps , it is Saturday and the final run of reader round up. Today I have for you book 2 in the Sleuths of Shadow Salon, THEATER OF CURSES by Catherine Stine 

                            BOOK BLURB

 Shadow Salon detectives Luna and Celestine take on their second case, when Tim Calhoun insists his Conservatory of Theater Arts has been cursed, and the police have come up dry. He claims a red specter is terrorizing him, upturning his library of historic plays, setting fires in the theater, even brutalizing him. Tim is desperate to solve this terrifying mystery before Hollywood directors and agents flock to Savannah to watch his students perform and hopefully sign them.

The 1811 anonymous play is The Romance of the Recording Angels. Hazardous incidents follow rehearsals. Luna interviews students, inspects dorms and the library, where she unearths a copy of the play with strange red notations. She hires Arthur Dodge, a necro-visionary to find out who drew them. The shocking entity he resurrects reveals that three aerial realms must be unlocked to end an actual curse. But as time runs out, where the realms are, what must be done in them and just why the curse was inflicted remains a mystery.

To uncover clues, Luna uses her water magic and flight skills, while resisting her growing attraction to client, Tim. Celestine shares tips from her automatic drawings. As time runs out, Luna must try anything: Dodge’s visionary tea, Hoodoo Root Worker, Selka Dupree’s spell jars, and farmer Crow Dao’s lessons in realm jumping. If Luna fails to reach the realms, the conservatory will be shuttered, the curse will spread… and worse.

                        MY REVIEW

  Welcome back to the salon, they have been working hard and then they take on a second case. When Timmy comes to them saying that the theater is cursed. They take the case after the police came up dry. Luna takes charge of the case and works hard at trying to figure out what is the curse is and trying hard to fight her feelings for Tim. She is going to try and figure out what happened trying anything to get to the realms . Luna and her new friends will get it figured out. If she doesn't figure it out the theater will shut down and the curse will spread . 

   This is Luna's book and she is one tough woman who will do anything to figure out what is going on. She is tough and smart She really goes through a lot while she is investigating the curse.  Tim is the man that comes into Luna's life and he is sweet and kind and wants his theater back. Together they are so cute and they work well together also. We also get to see Celsetine and the gang back and we get to see a new demon that needs to be taken down before he destroys everything 

    This book is the second in the series and honestly a little more intense than the first book. We get to see the characters really work hard and shine through out . The author switched the main character from Celestine to Luna and I honestly like Luna as a main character leading the investigation. This is a fast read with a little bit more intensity and more diving into native traditions and rituals with great depth. Which I enjoyed , so if you like a good urban fantasy check it out
