Fantasy Urban
Witches Giselle and Zara have started implementing their
plan to unleash chaos magic and free New Orleans from the
grasp of the fae. So what if this means a few tourists
must go missing? However, their latest tourist/victim
comes from a powerful family and the mother is holding
Guardian Augustine Robelais responsible. Meanwhile,
Augustine is more concerned with freeing Harlow Goodwin,
who remains trapped in her own body with her dead twin
sister, Ava Mae, running things.
Kristen Painter concludes the Crescent City series
with a bang as GARDEN OF DREAMS AND DESIRES jumps the
reader headlong into the action. Start at the beginning
if you want to appreciate this phenomenal series as the
action and suspense have been mounting from the very
first book and now we get to see how it all ends.
And oh, I can't rave enough about the character
development in GARDEN OF DREAMS AND DESIRES! Kristen
Painter starts the Crescent City series off with
two characters who aren't exactly likable and shows us
their maturity and growth over the course of the series.
By the second book, I loved Augustine but it is in GARDEN
OF DREAMS AND DESIRES where Harlow gets my full support
as well!
GARDEN OF DREAMS AND DESIRES is pure urban fantasy fun!
Kristen Painter delivers in every way with this
spectacular and stunning conclusion to the Crescent
City series. From the fast action to the political
intrigue amongst the various races, GARDEN OF DREAMS AND
DESIRES is a winner! My only regret at reading GARDEN OF
DREAMS AND DESIRES is that the series is now over. Great
job, Ms. Painter and I'm looking forward to more
fantastic urban fantasy in the future!
SUMMARY
Magic is twisted and chaos reigns in this climactic final
novel in the Crescent City trilogy by award-winning
author Kristen Painter. New Orleans is on the brink of war. Harlow is a ghost in her own body. She has no control, no
power -- all she can do is watch as her twin sister Ava
Mae lives recklessly and foolishly, slowly destroying
everything Harlow has worked so hard for. Augustine needs to focus on his new role as Guardian of
New Orleans, as tourists mysteriously disappear off the
streets, but all he can think of is rescuing Harlow --
Keeping his family safe. As the Coven grows more powerful, control of the city
hangs in the balance and if the witches prevail, no fae
will survive.
