Mardi Gras and Magic

The Witches of the French Quarter Mysteries, Book 1

De: Jen Pitts

Narrado por: Meghan Kelly

The day Althea buried her mother she learned she was a witch.

When a self-proclaimed witch shows up at her mother’s funeral, she brings more than sympathy for Althea’s loss. Luella insists Althea comes from a long line of witches and that she is the coven’s only hope for survival. While she doesn’t believe Luella, she agrees to visit her family home in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Althea assumed she’d sell the house and move on with her life, but a murder complicates her plans. She is a prime suspect, but she learns she isn’t the only one in her family accused of murder. Her mother left New Orleans after a spell resulted in the death of two witches.

Arriving during Mardi Gras season, the exuberance of the food, music, and celebrations overwhelms Althea. But it’s nothing compared to the paranormal world she discovers. As if witches weren’t enough, Althea meets vampires, werewolves, and a talking cat.

She may going insane, but Althea is determined to stay in New Orleans long enough to solve the murder. Becoming an amateur sleuth wasn’t part of Althea’s plans, but neither was becoming a witch. Will she accept her magical inheritance so she can discover the truth about her past, and her future? She might not have a choice if she wants to stop a killer.

Mardi Gras and Magic is the first book in The Witches of the French Quarter Mysteries. Join Althea as she explores the French Quarter and the world of witches, vampires, Voodoo, werewolves, and magical creatures. Thea must investigate supernatural mysteries to unearth long-buried secrets and to find her own place in this world.

Fun, Light, Paranormal Cozy Mystery

A fun, light, series opener, rich in loveable Sookie Stackhouse paranormal (witches, vampires, Voodoo priestesses), set in charming New Orleans. Excellent narration.

suspenseful

This was an entertaining and suspenseful mystery. I enjoyed listening to the supernaturals , and their fight to stay alive. I look forward to returning for more adventures and perhaps a romance. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.
