Minor Arcana by Jerry Lambert sounds pretty amazing but it doesn't seem like my type of read. However, I will recommend it to my friends who love such reads. Congratulations to the author on the BOTD. Great review.
Books are beautiful.

I'm interested in learning more about New Orleans, but I'm not so thrilled about the supernatural elements, the profanities, or sexual content. Since this is book 2 in a series, I'd start with the first book if I decide to read it. Thanks for your review!

The reviewer used the word superfluous and that is a perfect description of the first few pages I read. There seemed to be an abundance of words; not everything needs a detailed description. I do however, love a good ghost story, as well as a mind-boggling mystery, so this may be something I would like to read.

Good review, but I fear my sensitive nature does not cope well with the paranormal. Congratulations on BOTD.

This is an amazing fast paced murder mystery set in New Orleans highlighting hostorical romance, crime, and the paranormal. I loved the cover art and would very much like to read this book. The book has a free sample on Amazon Kindle and has an incitefully-written OnlineBookClub review. Congrats @vegaslamb on the BOTD selection.

It sounds like an interesting supernatural thriller. Thanks for the review. It’s a shame about the errors you found but I might give this a go anyway.

Sometimes that half star is all it makes a difference. I don't know why but New Orleans is always a perfect setting for a book. Ģood review.

Thanks for the thorough summary on top of an honest review. I like the use of changing viewpoints in a novel, and I like to see an increasing number of authors playing with it, but it can certainly be done wrong. And then it can lead to what you mentioned... a disjointed plot!

Thanks for the great review.

I do not think this book is for me. The plot itself is too hard for me to follow. Thanks for this review.

This book sounds like fun. Murder mystery meets interior design. I am curious about the book's title, Minor Arcana. That is a tarot card reference. Interesting. Thanks for a beautiful review.
