I do love a vampire book that takes place in New Orleans. I know Ann Rice is the gold standard but I would add this to the list of should read. Celine arrives in New Orleans after leaving Paris with a big secret. She is immediately drawn into the world the Cours De Lions and Bastien Sainte Germain. There is a bit of enemies to lovers as their first interaction is definitely antagonistic. However the attraction is there from the very beginning. Not that long after she arrives, a series of murders start to occur. First one near the port, a second at the Cours de Lions while Celine is there and a third in the Convent, Celine is staying in. All pointing to the intended victim is Celine herself but is she? The POV chapters of Celine and Bastien are interrupted by the murderer themselves as we get an insight as to why they are doing what they are doing but more a picture of the history. I must admit, I was a off on who the murder was. In retrospect, I should have been a little bit more suspicious at how often a certain off book character was mentioned but it was still a nice surprise. I do love Celine and Bastien’s relationship and the back and forth between them. I also like the friendship between Celine and Poppy and Odette. I do hope that we get more interactions in the next book. I am also pretty excited about the potential love triangle brewing between, Celine, Bastien and Michael. Michael, is the detective looking into the murders and of course has a history with Bastien. The ending definitely sets up a change in dynamics between all three of them. I look forward to reading how that will all turn out.
