I received this book for free in a giveaway by the publishers in return for my honest review. Honestly, I really enjoyed this book. It's complex, multifaceted and set against the vibrant backdrop of New Orleans. I found the characters to be beautifully flawed and well fleshed out, with twists and turns constantly changing the narrative of the book. I like a book that keeps me on my toes, and this one did just that.

Great Read

If you are into witches, spells and a good boogeyman...this is an excellent read. I’m ready to start book 2!

This had just enough spook, fantasy, and southern gothic ambiance to enrapture me. The switching perpective was interesting, and the main antagonist was creepy in all the right ways. I like how the author integrates Hurricane Katrina into the coven’s history.

Atmospheric and lovely

It's a thorough glimse into a world of dreaming and magic, good and evil. I loved every moment of it- but I do think it performs better as an audiobook if only because the narrator plays the parts well.

Good book and I can't wait for the next one. Really kind of weird but I liked it all the same. The ending has a good setup for the next book. Some really creepy characters and some that I liked quite a bit. The plot has a couple real interesting twists.

I'm going to go back and read his Witching Savannah series.
