I love how the author was respectful of the LGBT+ community, despite the timeframe that this book is in. I love New Orleans as well! I had the pleasure of visiting many years ago, and I think that it is one of the most culturally rich places to visit in the United States. Congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

An intriguing and fast-paced paranormal thriller "Minor Arcana" by Jerry Lambert, which focuses on Georganne, an interior designer, who is commissioned to decorate for a major New Orleans celebration. However, a violent murder and ominous visions throw her right into a life-threatening conflict with supernatural origins. The book appears quite interesting.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Even if I were to get the book for free I wouldn't give it a try since it contains the LGBT+themes. fortunately this is not of a kind for me. I'll just pass.
Great review though

The cover and review seems awesome, quite an attraction to read the book. Mystery books are usually a thrill to me so I'll rather grab a copy and five into it.

Supernatural read is my cup of tea. Being a non-American I'm curious how New Orleans have something to do with it? Definitely wanna check this out.

I love stories about New Orleans and its mysteries. Adding "a violent murder, ominous visions, and a mysterious secret society" makes it even more intriguing. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation!

This fun and fast-paced book, set mostly in New Orleans, is definitely a great read. I like it that the characters are unique, with their own lives and goals. However, this is not really my type, I'll pass it on. Thanks for your review.

The book sounds interesting with the supernatural elements. The story is appealing and I'm happy to hear about the characterization and world building. It's also refreshing to see natural LGBTQ community representation. Thank you for the review!

It does look interesting especially on how the characters are unique, with their own lives and goals.and even though the characters are striking , the worldbuilding is the books greatest strength.

From the review the story seems to be well written. The character and world building is great according to the review. However I'm averse to reading LGBT themed books. Especially ones that are for mature audiences. So I'll have to pass.

Supernaturals, I kind of met some. If you haven't and you read or hear about them it's hard to believe. This is a field that only a few know about. Quite interesting.

I find stories set in New Orleans intriguing, with the rich history and a sort of mystical background. The storyline sounds interesting and I am curious as to whether Georganne stayed afloat and overcame the life-threatening conflict. Thank you for a great review.

I'm not interested in themes like LGBT. So I'll pass it on. Congratulations on BOTD.
