Blurb:

From The New York Times best-selling author Kristen Proby comes an all new paranormal romance set in the mystical city of New Orleans.

I am never alone. Not even when I am alone. I see the unquiet dead, the souls that wander through the French Quarter. They can’t move on, and I can’t stop seeing them. I wear malachite for protection, and I control what I let in. It’s the only way to stay sane.

Everything changes the day Cassian Winslow joins my ghost walking tour and knocks my world off its axis with green eyes the color of the stone around my neck. An unspeakable evil is loose in New Orleans, taking young women and leaving a bloodbath in its wake. More shadows lurking for me. More unhappy dead.

There might be a way to stop it.

Open myself up to Cassian.

If I do, it could spell his death. But if I don’t, it’s mine.


My Review:

This is the first book in the gripping Bayou Magic Trilogy, a Ghost Story, one of my favorite tropes! Wow!! I loved it! Brielle and Cash's story is original, thrilling, scaring, suspenseful, and enthralling. Impossible to put it down. The story is hauntingly well written. We follow Brielle, Cash and her sisters (Millie and Daphne), and Asher, a local law enforcement, in an intriguing, intense, and frightening quest. Cash and Brielle share an instant attraction, and an undeniable chemistry. Cash is handsome, smart, caring, and protective. Brielle is a formidable character, caring, strong, smart, and determined. Each sister is gifted. Brielle can see the unquiet dead, Millie is a powerful hedgewitch and psychic, and Daphne is a psychic and a psychometric. I like their family bonds. The terrifying serial killer is fearsome. Each character is well developed, and intriguing. The scenery is particularly well described, gothic and chilling. Samantha Brentmoor, Jason Clarke and Lee Samuels did a fantastic, and an impressive job with the narration. Samantha Brentmoor and Lee Samuels are perfect as Brielle and Cash. Jason Clark is devilishly believable, creepy, and dreadful, as the serial killer. They breathtakingly bring this story to life. This is an amazing audio production, and a formidable team author/narrators. I enjoyed it, and I HIGHLY recommend it. If you like Paranormal Romance, in particular Ghost Stories, this one is definitely for you! Now, I can't wait to listen to the next book in the Series, Spells, Millie's story.
