Review by Iza


Ahhhh! Let's start with the setting of this book! New Orleans, early 20th century! Yes, please!

Let's continue with the story and characters. Ghosts, voodoo priestesses and witches, all of these are perfectly normal in a book set in NOLA. And in this one, people are more open-minded about them. They live peacefully, side by side. Well, okay, depends. It kind of changes when our heroine, Christine, has something her dad left her that everyone seems to want. That means everyone is out to get her.

This leads to our hero stepping in, Mr. Drake. Oh, please come in, Mr. Drake! He has his own demons but he can't help but constantly want to protect and rescue the heroine, that is not exactly a damsel in distress because she can hold her own. I loved that!

So, kick ass heroine? Check!
Dashing, protective, badass and yummy hero? Check!
Awesome setting? Check!
Great plot? Check!

Yup, all of that means a really happy me! I loved this book and I highly recommend it to anyone that loves a good paranormal romance. It deserves a 5-star rating and I can't wait for more!

I want to thank the publishers for the copy given in exchange for my honest review. My pleasure!


Author Bio


 Julie Mulhern is the USA Today bestselling author of The Country Club Murders.

She is a Kansas City native who grew up on a steady diet of Agatha Christie. She spends her spare time whipping up gourmet meals for her family, working out at the gym and finding new ways to keep her house spotlessly clean--and she's got an active imagination. Truth is--she's an expert at calling for take-out, she grumbles about walking the dog and the dust bunnies under the bed have grown into dust lions.

In addition to mysteries, Julie writes historical, romantic suspense. Her first romance, A Haunting Desire, was a finalist in the 2014 Golden Heart® contest and is available now.

Look for A Haunting Need in the early spring of 2016. Or, if your tastes run to 70s-style mysteries, mark your calendars for May when Clouds in My Coffee, book three of the Country Club Murders, will release.
