A Darker Shade of Midnight

By: Lynn Emery

Narrated by: Quiana Goodrum

LaShaun Rousselle returns home to Beau Chene, Louisiana, and all hell breaks loose. Ten years ago LaShaun left for Los Angeles to get away from a scandalous past, which included being a suspect in a vicious killing. With whispers about voodoo and how she got away with murder, LaShaun decides to wipe the slate clean and start a new life. She leaves behind the Rousselle family legacy, and her infamous grandmother, Odette, who taught LaShaun too well how to use her psychic powers.

Now LaShaun is back in Beau Chene. Monmon Odette is dying, and LaShaun comes home to make peace with her grandmother and the past. She has to fight off greedy relatives out to get Monmon Odette's considerable estate, hostile town folk, and a nasty little demon determined to rule her world. She faces down all challengers with help from sexy deputy Chase Broussard, who puts his reputation on the line because he knows she's not a murderer.

Awesome

I really loved this story . The reader did a fantastic job with characters. Great story!

Very Fast and Fun Read

This is a fantastic story that’s fast, fun and tough to put down. Emery loads the story with rich characters and vibrant local color from Deep South Louisiana. There was a wonderful balance of mystery, paranormal and romance.

I guess my only “complaint” was I’d have preferred the book to be longer. There were a lot of really fascinating threads left too thin for my taste, but I’m a reader who probably leans toward overkill.

For the kind of book this is—an I’m on vacation and want a fun on the beach read—THIS IS A FABULOUS choice. Just don’t start reading at bed time.

You’ve been warned.

Also the narrator did a good job but she spoke a bit too quickly. I listen to audio books while doing other chores so I kept having to back up.

Overall, looking forward to more of the series.

Outstanding
