Synopsis

Things to do:

1. Rescue sister.
2. Murder grandmother.
3. Don't upset the voodoo priestess.

The clock is ticking for Sabina Kane. Her sister has been kidnapped by her grandmother, the Dark Races are on the brink of war, and a mysterious order is manipulating everyone behind the scenes.

Working on information provided by an unlikely ally, Sabina and her trusty sidekicks—a sexy mage named Adam Lazarus and Giguhl, a Mischief demon—head to New Orleans to begin the hunt for her sister. Once there, they must contend with belligerent werewolves, magic-wielding vampires and—perhaps most frightening of all—humans.

But as much as Sabina is focused on surviving the present, the past won't be ignored. Before she can save those she cares about most, she must save herself from the ghosts of her past.

My Thoughts:

What can I say that I haven't already said in my reviews of the first two books. I just LOVE this series. Sabina is fantastic and growing nicely as a character. She's becoming more aware of others around her and learning to let go. Adam is all sorts of hunky and wonderful. He makes my heart go pitter patter. All the supporting characters are great Rhea is strong and I'm liking her more and more. The jury is still out on Orpheus but I'm leaning towards liking him. Zen got on my nerves a bit but in the end came through. PW is a hoot and an incredibly strong character. Lets not forget Giguhl. I can't say enough about my love for this character. He's just plain awesome and full of demonish good fun!

Synopsis

With storytelling written in the finest Southern tradition from the soap operas of Chandler Street in the quaint town of Gainesville, Georgia, to a country store on the Alabama state line, Olivia deBelle Byrd delves with wit and amusement into the world of the Deep South with all its unique idiosyncrasies and colloquialisms.

The characters who dance across the pages range from Great-Aunt Lottie Mae, who is as “old-fashioned and opinionated as the day is long,” to Mrs. Brewton, who calls everyone “dahling” whether they are darling or not, to Isabella with her penchant for mint juleps and drama.

Humorous anecdotes from a Christmas coffee, where one can converse with a lady who has Christmas trees with blinking lights dangling from her ears, to Sunday church, where a mink coat is mistaken for possum, will delight Southerners and baffle many a non-Southerner. There is the proverbial Southern beauty pageant, where even a six-month-old can win a tiara, to a funeral faux pas of the iron clad Southern rule-one never wears white after Labor Day and, dear gussy, most certainly not to a funeral.

Miss Hildreth Wore Brown-Anecdotes of a Southern Belle is guaranteed to provide an afternoon of laugh-out-loud reading and hilarious enjoyment.

My Thoughts:

I'm going to keep this short and succinct just like the book. I had a lot of fun reading this book. Miss Byrd's anecdotes were short and sweet and at times had me laughing out loud making my family wonder what I was reading.

The book is only156 pages long, but it will fill your afternoon with laughter and relaxation. If you are looking for a quick, fun read, this book is the perfect fit. Just sit back with a cup a tea and this book and I swear when you're done, you will almost smell the magnolias.

Here's my teaser this week:

We left at dawn. Time enough for me to catch maybe two hours of sleep on the lumpy ground, and say my last goodbyes to Puck. He was still sleeping, deep within the tree, when I woke up in the still hours before sunrise.
