This looks like a book with a lot of likable characters. I like it when characters that aren't the main characters enjoy good development. I like the cover too.

I love that the world building is done very well, as well as the fact that most issues are addressed properly. Thanks for the review!

I’m a sucker for a book that takes place in New Orleans, especially anything to do with the supernatural. Books with strong LGBT+ themes are also great, especially if they avoid the pitfall of the “kill your gays” trope. It’s too bad about the typos and such, but hopefully I can make it past those since it sounds like my kind of story otherwise. Thank you for the helpful review.

I'm not show I'll follow with this book. Again, I'm not a fan of the LGBT movement. I'll take a pass on this one.

This book seems fascinating and intriguing. The cover says it all and it looks as if the characters add to the mystery.

Supernatural fiction is not my favorite genre. The plot seems interesting but I will pass for now.

Art, murder, and mystery already sounds like a good thematic mixture to me. It would be interesting to see how Georganne navigates that world. Great review.

For some reason, I'm always drawn to supernatural stories set in New Orleans. The alternating viewpoints--between the witch in the 19th century and the characters in present day--set this up to be an interesting paranormal suspense.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Very interesting! The cover was enough to grab my attention. I was not expecting it to be about supernatural elements, but I can't wait to check it out anyhow.

The witch narrative in the 1800s is the biggest selling point for me. Also it sounds really interesting, especially because of the part where you said how well the book handled LGBT+ issues. Thanks for your insightful review.🙂
