Review: Shadows (Bayou Magic #1) by Kristen Proby
SHADOWS (BAYOU MAGIC #1)
Brielle sees dead people. Yes, just like in that movie. But it's real. To her the dead are "shadows" without distinct features, (usually), and they don't bother her or even interact with her. Until just now when one of them tried to actually communicate with her. That was when she knew something very wrong was happening in New Orleans, in her community. She's got her two sisters, Millie and Daphne, for support, though, and a new guy in her life, Cash, who happens to be an FBI profiler. With their support, she'll get through this and figure what's wrong, who's doing it, and how to fix it. Except perhaps not. Perhaps the person behind it all is far too evil and too gifted in the same sorts of paranormal things that she and her sisters are, for them to stop him. Brielle, Millie, Daphne, and Cash will have to rely on some heavy duty guides if they want to get through this alive.
Wow, I LOVE Shadows!! I don't do a lot of paranormal reading anymore, but I am really glad I read Shadows. It's spooky and creepy and truly cringe-worthy. The villain was definitely one of the biggest whack jobs to come down the turnpike in a long time, and I love how Brielle figured out who he was, and who he was to her and her sisters. There's more than a touch of paranormal here, but it's not overdone or over the top, and Brielle, her sisters, and Cash and his brother are all fabulous characters. I love the spooky world Kristen has created in the Bayou Magic series, and can't wait to delve more into it. I am so looking forward to Spells, Millie and Lucien's story, now!
