the setup…
Petra is a reporter from Chicago, dispatched to New Orleans to track down some of the supernatural urban legends surrounding the city. One in particular involves Dax Rousseau, owner of the tattoo parlor House of Ink and Blood who has a cat named Lucifer. Sources say his body is covered with tattoos…but they’re not inked and he was born with them. And, as one of the male line of Rousseaus, he’s living with a curse that originated in an earlier generation. Petra’s pretty cynical so when she experiences an unexplained connection and phenomena, she becomes a believer of this sexy specimen.
the heart of the story…
Petra is full of snark and chatter, the taciturn Dax no match for this woman who showed up out of nowhere but was recently in his dreams. I loved their banter (he calls her Notebook and she calls him Sunshine). And, that curse is not only real but dangerous.
the narration…
Seriously, this collection is full of 5-star narrators and Vanessa Moyen & Troy Duran delivered spectacular performances. They made their characters pop from the pages.
the bottom line…
I enjoyed the story, particularly because of Petra and her oddball nature and cynical sense of humor. Tracking down the curse was interesting and the ending held promise of more to come. Great way to close out the collection.
