Hoodoo Heaven

Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue

De: Reggi Dupree

Narrado por: Ruthie Bowles

Lady Luck missed her flight to Dublin. My enemies, however, did not. All I need to do is stay alive until my 45th birthday, and then the rest of my life will be mine to screw up without the help of my family’s curse.

A couple rogue vampires and the hottest man I’ve ever laid eyes on will do everything they can to derail my plans. Okay, maybe I don’t mind the hot man so much. Hopefully the ancestors will help a sister out for the next 36 hours.

Midlife isn’t supposed to be this dangerous.

Hoodoo Heaven is the prequel novella set abroad with the rest of the series to take place in magical Hoodoo, TX—a place full of boudin, barbecue, and, of course, Hoodoo.

Great Introduction to the Series!

This was my first Reggi Dupree's story. This is a great prequel to the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue Series. The story is fast-paced, original, and intriguing. I liked the humor, and the twists and turns in the story. Ruthie Bowles did a great job bringing this story to life. Looking forward to listening to Return to Hoodoo, the first book in the series. #StoryOrigin

Already Obsessed

OMG! Where to begin?!
A Black FMC ✅
FMC over 30 ✅
FMC who isn't super skinny but loves her body anyway ✅
Narrator who understands all the idiosyncrasies the character needed ✅
Hoodoo Heaven is an absolutely AMAZING book. As a Black woman in my 30's, it spoke to me in ways I didn't expect. If I had simply read the book I may have liked it..But listening to it?! Ruthie gives you an EXPERIENCE! The way she fully embodied the main character Gwen is truly a work of art. I simply would not have enjoyed this unforgettable story as much without such an amazing narrator. I cannot wait for her to narrate the future books!! Also I absolutely need books 2-10 NOW 😂.

Keeps your attention!

Really enjoyed hearing this kind of story through the voice of a black woman. It’s a fun listen and I’m excited not hear more of her books!

Cranky, clever, and crass. I love her.

Ok, I need the next book immediately. This prequel novella did its job, and now I need the rest of the story. ASAP. The narration was delightful, really brought the characters to life and immersed me in the story.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this introduction to a new series. I liked that the characters were real, and that the reader got a little backstory of the FMC with each person that was introduced. I hope to read more and learn more in the next books. I’d think the narrator did a good job of giving each character a voice.

new

this is my first book from this author and narrator and I enjoyed listening to it and look forward to more from both this author and narrator.

Long-winded

The narrator was a good reader, I loved her voice and she read through the book like we were really there with her, it just for the book it took a while to get to the point but other than that it was a good book

Awesome start

I actually think this was a really good way to start a new series. Fmc is sassy and has a lot of wit. Themes of magic and voodoo. Audio was fab I havnt heard this narrator before and I found her voice very enjoyable. Looking forward to the up coming series in Audio. 3.5 stars

Short but hooked

This book had me laughing and wondering what was going to happen next. The end stopped where you are just waiting for the next book. The author did good on the last bit of the book. I am so curious of who Ash is and if he isn't human how come she didn't know. It is a short story but one that is worth every minute.
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Strong Woman

Gwen is on a mission to make it through her birthday. She has all kind of gifts which make her life interesting. I love her whit and sass. The ending is really a beginning of what life has in store for Gwen. I really love the narration of the audio book. #CMCon25
