With all the witches, warlocks and genies out there, there’s a lot of magic to be found in the fantasy section at the bookstore. However, something you won’t find a lot of is that certain type of magic that can be found in the swamps of Louisiana and the Caribbean. I’m talking about Voodoo and while Adrian Phoenix’s series isn’t completely all about voodoo, the basis is there and it makes for some fascinating reading. Have you had a chance to check out the first two novels in the Hoodoo series – Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa – yet? Are you looking forward to seeing what is next with Kallie and Layne? If so, then join Larissa (from Larissa’s Bookish Life) and I while we discuss this fascinating new series with it’s creator, Adrian Phoenix, live! Come join us at Talk Shoe on September 18th at TONIGHT.

“There will be times, girl, when all your magic ain’t going to be enough, times when it will seem to dry up like mud under the noonday sun, or even make matters worse . . .”
Kallie Riviere, a fiery Cajun hoodoo apprentice with a talent for trouble, finds herself smack-dab in the middle of one of those times her mentor warned her about when she visits New Orleans to attend the Hecatean Alliance’s annual carnival: her hard-bodied conjurer hookup ends up dead in her blood-drenched bed. And he was killed by something that Kallie would never dream of touching — the darkest of dark juju, soul-eating juju — a black dust hex that may have been meant to kill her.
Now Kallie has to use every bit of hoodoo knowledge and bayou-bred mojo she possesses to clear her own name and find the killer — even as that dark sorcerer hunts Kallie and her friends. But Kallie’s search for the truth soon leads her in a direction she never anticipated — back home to Bayou Cypres Noir, and to Gabrielle LaRue, Kallie’s aunt, protector, and hoodoo mentor . . . who is looking more and more like she just might be the one who wants Kallie dead.
Warning: We will be focusing on the series, so spoilers are going to happen. We’ll try to keep the hardcore spoilers to a minimum, but there are no guarantees.
