Demons of Bourbon Street is the third book in the Jade Calhoun series and ahhhhhh I just couldn’t put this story down. It just captured my interest and I just didn’t want it to end. I just have so much fun reading this series. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

I didn’t like the middle, I didn’t like the ending and yet I couldn’t put the book down. I felt so ensnared in the lives of the characters. The actions of so-called angels, very self-serving; the Greater Good…wow that is just another way of saying “you have something we want and we are going to take it from you.” Bunch of crap! Jade is stronger than the angels give her credit for. The relationships between characters are so strong and realistic. However, there is an injustice in this book that just eats at me and yet I see the same thing watching the news. I am left with as many if not more questions than Jade herself. As much as it pissed me off I can’t wait for the next book.

This was really good. Such an improvement from the last one. A character I didn't like is now one of my favorites. This one is my favorite as of right now.

Demons of Bourbon Street by Deanna Chase is a 2013 Bayou Moon publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This third installment in the Jade Calhoun series blast out of the canon at full speed with emotions bouncing around like a fart in a mitten.
At the end of book two, Jade's mother was saved but Dan made the ultimate sacrifice to make that happen. Now Dan is, shall we say, not a in a very good place right now. Jade is determined to rescue her old friend despite all the water under the bridge between them.
As the story opens Jade finds herself forced into a situation she is ill prepared for and no time to take a crash course. This is life and death, because Jade's vert soul is on the line. To make matters more miserable, Jade's mind is connected to the angel Lailah, someone she isn't all that fond of due to her past with Kane. But, it's necessary for them to work together so she is stuck with her. But, things will get a whole lot worse before they get better.... if they get better.
Tension, magic, angels and demons, shocking revelations and secrets of the past all combine for one whale of roller coaster ride. As they say, fasten your seat belts. With each book this series gets better. This was a really absorbing story with a very tense climax. There will be aftershocks from this one I am sure. But, there was a really special ending I know everyone will be happy about. 4.5 rounded to 5 for this one.
