Audie Award Finalist, Thriller/Suspense, 2014
Upon the passing of her beloved grandmother, Melody Bennet receives startling instructions that she is to take the ashes of Grandmama Giselle to southern Louisiana. Melody must step far outside her comfort zone in the suburbs of North Carolina to fulfill this dying wish. She finds herself blindly navigating the exotic, sometimes hostile environs of New Orleans and Bear Bayou, and immersed in a subculture based on an ancient West African religion. At this unexpected crossroad, she discovers new cultures and beliefs - and new dangers - and awakens to a new way of seeing the world and her role in it. Melody learns that a different perspective can indeed change your perception of reality.

- 2014 Audie Award Finalist
I really liked this book; however I am not sure I would have liked it as much if I had read it in print. But since I did listen I really enjoyed it, it was suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat. This is paranormal suspense about Voodoo and Hoodoo.
Melody’s grandmother dies and asks that Melody take her ashes back to the Louisiana Bayou, but what her grandmother doesn’t tell her is the inheritance of “The Sight” that she also passed on and that there is an old book that she needs to take care of as there are many willing to kill for. Melody didn’t know anything about Voodoo or Hoodoo but soon finds out her grandmother did which comes as a shock to Melody. When she gets to Louisiana things get even weirder plus she is threatened by a man who says the book her grandmother stole is his and he will get it back no matter what. So we have a mystery a family story with some ghosts and hoodoo going on!
This isn’t a story I would have been drawn to but since it is up for an Audie Award I listened to it and am glad I did, it had just the right amount of suspense and the paranormal add a little Catholic Church baddies to the mix and this made for a good story. I was glad a certain someone didn’t end up being a bad guy (you’ll know if you read it) and I am curious if that relationship will go on to the next book (which there is not an audio and that needs to be remedied!). I am curious if certain characters will carry over and which ones that will be. I liked Melody I thought she took everything in stride and it was a lot to take in and I’d love to see how she goes forward and what becomes of ‘the Sight’. This book grabbed me enough to want to continue on with the series.

When Grandmama Giselle dies, she leaves instructions for Melody to take her ashes to a remote bayou in Southern Louisiana. First, Melody has to find her Grandmama's childhood friend and have the ashes blessed. Melody soon finds herself in possession of an ancient text called the Book of Obeah, which Giselle has said that Melody must protect.
Melody soon finds herself in the middle of a battle between various factions who want the Book. Along the way, she learns a lot about herself and the practice of Voodoo, while at the same time meeting a sexy homicide detective named Mario.
The author does a great job in describing the bayou region and the atmosphere surrounding it and New Orleans. She has obviously done a lot of research into the Voodoo religion as well. She weaves a very intricate web of characters and backgrounds to a open-ended conclusion that could possibly lead to more books.
The narrator, Dave Fennoy, does a great job with the various voices for the characters. My only complaint would be that the sound was very low and I had a hard time hearing it even with my Kindle volume set at maximum.

Giselle said something that really got me to thinking about how important it is to not leave things unsettled.
"Is there anyone in this world without regret when death is near. "
~Giselle
Overall this is a great read. Dave Fennoy was an amazing narrator. He gave this book the spookiness it needed. The characters were well developed and I didn't get them confused. There are mysteries within mysteries and discoveries within discoveries. I do recommend this read if you enjoy mysteries and thrillers. Now, I'm off to read book two.
