Welcome to Mojo, Louisiana. Home of the many interesting characters created by Stephanie Bond for her newest title IN DEEP VOODOO. IN DEEP VOODOO blends Ms. Bond's unique sense of humor with a touch of romantic suspense making for a truly delightful read.

Penny Francisco is newly divorced from a favorite son of the town, Deke Black. She is experiencing the anger and pain that any woman who is thrown over for another might be expected to be feeling. How far will her anger carry her is the true question, and one that can only be answered by continuing to read.

Deke Black was raised in a family of position in the town. His mother Mona is the town Mayor, and his father was a prominent attorney. The Blacks think that they own the town, and that others should bend to their will. Will this feeling of superiority in the end be their downfall? Again, you're going to have to read to find out.

Mojo is also full of other interesting characters. Every year there is a large Voodoo Festival, and people gather from all other to participate in various rituals. It is during the beginning of the festival that Penny's friends have decided she needs a party to celebrate her divorce. The party is to be held at a local bar complete with gag gifts.

Penny, a total health nut, rarely puts anything impure into her body. However, the night of the party she does drink, and gets carried away with the fun and excitement swirling around her. When she opens the gifts she is shocked to find a voodoo doll who is supposed to represent her husband. With some urging from her friends she does stick it to the doll.

What is considered to be innocent fun soon has horrid consequences for Penny. There are so many mysteries surrounding Mojo, will they all ever be solved? If they are who will solve them? The police department, or Penny and the mystery man who is in Mojo?

Ms. Bond's characters have appeal and are written with qualities that make readers love to hate the villains, and root for the good guys without thinking twice. For readers who hate to see IN DEEP VOODOO end there is good news. There will be a sequel in 2006.
