by Suzanne Johnson

Adult Urban Fantasy
Order here:Barnes and Noble /Amazon /Book Depository
Hurricane Katrina is long gone, but the preternatural storm rages on in New Orleans. New species from the Beyond moved into Louisiana after the hurricane destroyed the borders between worlds, and it falls to wizard sentinel Drusilla Jaco and her partner, Alex Warin, to keep the preternaturals peaceful and the humans unaware. But a war is brewing between two clans of Cajun merpeople in Plaquemines Parish, and down in the swamp, DJ learns, there’s more stirring than angry mermen and the threat of a were-gator.Wizards are dying, and something—or someone—from the Beyond is poisoning the waters of the mighty Mississippi, threatening the humans who live and work along the river. DJ and Alex must figure out what unearthly source is contaminating the water and who—or what—is killing the wizards. Is it a malcontented merman, the naughty nymph, or some other critter altogether? After all, DJ’s undead suitor, the pirate Jean Lafitte, knows his way around a body or two.It’s anything but smooth sailing on the bayou as the Sentinels of New Orleans series continues.(synopsis from Goodreads)
I read Royal Street, the first in this awesome series and you can read my review here. I love how the author blended New Orleans and it's history into this urban fantasy. Being an author is not necessarily easy but you can use the Guide to Career Education to jump start your career as one and learn to write books like this one! The protagonist DJ is kick-ass, smart and the plot has unlimited possibilities.
What are you waiting for?

Series and author are new to me. It's interesting how many books not matter the genre have really tied in Hurricane Katrina. Of course, I think I would enjoy the history of New Orleas and I do like Urban Fantasy. Great pick! Here's my WOW
ReplyDeleteBoth books are new to me. I hope you don't have to wait too long.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh... River Road sound really awesome. Great pick!=D
ReplyDeleteDrop by my WoW?

I love books set in New Orleans...or anywhere in the South. I like using the Hurricane Katrina as a jumping off place for a paranormal read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and here's MY WOW POST
Okay, I'm absolutely excited about the first one now! Aaaaah!!! *_*

ReplyDeleteAmber @ Fall Into books
Terrific choice!! I loved the first book too and can't wait to see what happens with DJ, Alex and Jean (and the new furrypants). I liked the first cover, but this fits DJ and the series better I think - and it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOhh, feels like I've seen this before! Definitely sounds good though. I'm pretty sure I haven't read the first book though. ;) Lol. Maybe should? o:
ReplyDeleteI've good things about Royal Street. I haven't read too many adult urban fantasy books. I should start. I usually read paranormal romance but this sounds good! Thanks for visiting My WOW!
ReplyDeleteOh Kimba, I need to bet book one! LOL! Great pick!
ReplyDelete"Being an author is not necessarily easy..." <-- Don't we know it?? x) LOL I actually think I've heard of this book before but I just can't remember where -- it's sort of like deja vu, except multiplied! The promise of a kick-ass character is always one of my favourite selling points. How could I possibly resist? ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome pick for your WOW this week, Kimba! :)
Ohhh, this one sounds interesting! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick. I still need to read the first book. Sounds like the series will be really exciting.
