Fresh from the bayou-soaked imagination of Adrian Phoenix, author of the critically acclaimed paranormal fantasy series, The Maker's Song, comes Black Dust Mambo, a fast paced and sexy story brimming with mystery, magic, conjurers and root doctors, nomads and loup garou, hoodoo -- and a wet boxers contest chockful of stripped down men. Mmmm. Oh. Was murder mentioned? And vengeful nomads? And soul-eating spells?
FIRST IN A NEW SERIES! โThere will be times, girl, when all your magic ainโt going to be enough, times when it will seem to dry up like mud under the noonday sun, or even make matters worse. . . .โ
Kallie Riviรจre, a fiery Cajun hoodoo apprentice with a talent for trouble, finds herself smack-dab in the middle of one of those times her mentor warned her about when she visits New Orleans to attend the Hecatean Allianceโs annual carnival: her hard-bodied conjurer hookup ends up dead in her blood-drenched bed. And he was killed by something that Kallie would never dream of touchingโthe darkest of dark juju, soul-eating jujuโa black dust hex that may have been meant to kill her.
Now Kallie has to use every bit of hoodoo knowledge and bayou-bred mojo she possesses to clear her own name and find the killerโeven as that dark sorcerer hunts Kallie and her friends. But Kallieโs search for the truth soon leads her in a direction she never anticipatedโback home to Bayou Cyprรฉs Noir, and to Gabrielle LaRue, Kallieโs aunt, protector, and hoodoo mentor . . . who is looking more and more like she just might be the one who wants Kallie dead.
