Book Description
Drawn to the city of New Orleans, Sybella Rose seeks answers hidden in mausoleums of lore, and she soon discovers that history and mystery walk together in this world filled with more dead than the living. As this recipe for love and power is revealed, Sybella Rose tastes a bit of rebellion, befriends a lonely ghost, and drowns in the essence of a certain vampire before finally succumbing to her inevitable end.
My Review
Sybella packs up her things and moves to New Orleans. Her father is not happy about it and her brothers are all successful and it didn't seem like they cared about her at all. Once in New Orleans Sybella feels like she is right where she belongs. Meeting Josephine who owns a Voodoo shop and her husband Al who is the chef at Gumbo Gris Gris. She immediately makes friends with these two people and even rents an apartment that's above the voodoo shop and Josephine is her landlord which works out well for all of them. Josephine offers Sybella a job in the voodoo shop and she gets to know her better.
Right away she meets Demien and she knows there's something off about him, especially when Josephine and Al are warning her to stay away from him. But Sybella feels drawn to him and since he keeps seeking out her company, he must be drawn to her also because he doesn't usually chat people up.
You know how they say that New Orleans is full or supernatural? Well according to this book, they're right. Expect ghosts, vampires, witches and magic. The Binding ends up being the pull a vampire and human feel for each other. It's so rare it's thought to be a myth even among vampires.
I do love a romantic vampire story and this one having a very grumpy vampire just made it all the better. This was such a fun read.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Hooray for fun reads (and five star books).

ReplyDeleteYou didn't mention the ghost...I assume they weren't really important for the plot? Anyhow, that blurb sounds so weird. Either it's telling us that she dies in the end, or it's only suggesting that her vampire lover is going to turn her into one of his kind, but it it is so, it's a weird tun of phrase 😂.
I didn't want to give too much away about the ghost but she does play a biggest part to the story.
DeleteI do love that New Orleans setting! It's so perfect for supernatural/paranormal stories. :D
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteIntriguing cover. I have yet to run into anything supernatural in New Orleans, but I am always on the lookout. :-)

DeleteWow, sounds a book I would enjoy! New Orleans sound so intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you give it a read.
DeleteThe setting alone is reason to read this one. Add into that the voodoo element, and I'm sold!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it.
DeleteThat does sound like a good one!
ReplyDeleteit was.
DeleteI do enjoy vampire romances too! Glad to hear this one was a hit. I like the New Orleans setting as well.
ReplyDeleteI like this setting as well.
DeleteMuch prefer HEA over HFN but the first book in The Binding series sounds interesting. Adding the series to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteOh I would much prefer a HEA as well. I hope you like this one.
