A research trip for a paranormal secret society leads Cassandra to Haiti, where rumors fly of a sinister voodoo master, Jacques Mezareau, who can resurrect the dead.

Cassandra, a New Orleans voodoo priestess, is obsessed with finding a way to bring back her daughter from the dead. Finally, after several years of searching, Cassandra has heard of a man in Haiti who can do this. Cassandra was an interesting character and her determination to get her daughter back was pretty compelling. However, near the end of the story when shit starts hitting the fan this determination starts becoming extremely annoying. Cassandra is faced with so many different reasons why bringing her daughter back from the dead would be horrible but despite everything she is still set on doing it. I understand that she was supposed to be deeply mourning her daughter, but I think that after seeing how she might hurt her daughter by bringing her back that Cass would at least have second thoughts. Not become more determined. I also hated that Cass didn't decide for herself to stop trying to raise her daughter from the dead. I would have of liked Cass to have looked at the bigger picture while she had power to raise her daughter and decide not to. Instead, Cass has the power taken away from her and eventually makes peace with it.

Despite that I thought the story was pretty good and I enjoyed both the setting of Haiti and New Orleans. And the hero, Devon Murphy, was interesting with his constantly changing accents. I would have of liked more time spent on the fact that he was a thief though. Also, I would recommend reading this series in order. Toward the end there were a lot of characters being introduced that are reoccurring in the series and they had some back-story that apparently links in with some things but it went completely over my head since I'm unfamiliar with this series.

I do enjoy Lori Handeland's Nightcreature Series. These books are full of imagination and the stories are great with just the right balance of sexual tension and the supernatural! Kudos! ( )

This is my favorite of the series to date - I really like the way Cassandra is written. The incorporation of voodoo and zombies gave this book a slightly different flavor than its predecessors and was a great change of pace. ( )
