NEW ORLEANS GHOSTS VISIT SOUTH AFRICA!



TOP REVIEWS


Tonja Drecker   (5 Stars)


A STRANGE & EXCITING MYSTERY

When I dove into this one, I wasn't really sure what to expect...

but whatever it was, this story was much better.

 The author creates a dark but beautiful and enticing atmosphere in the French Quarter. 

The setting is placed on the first day of the Carnival in 1947, 

where reality, death and magic interplay and form a wondrous world.

 Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte is portrayed with an exquisite, dark elegance 

as she leaves a trail of death in her wake. 

But that's only the beginning.

The characters are vivid with personalities so potent, they jump from the page.

The addition of myth and magic add an alluring spice. 

It's a wonderful concoction which pulls in and presents a show all of its own. 

Add the well crafted wording and clever dialogue, and it's an intoxicating mix.

Don't miss Tonja's new book, Music Boxes!

SURREAL ENTER STAGE LEFT

In Razor Valentine you enter 1947 during Carnival 

where the natural laws don’t exist and where death is a dark and dangerous beauty. 

In this world, unlikely people struggle to live and love. 

Death is always imminent and confusion is queen.

 Caesar Romero comes to life as the suave, sophisticated actor 

he actually was on the Hollywood screen decades ago. 

You can almost hear Jimmy Stewart drawl his way through the story, 

and the author pays him the respect he earned in real life during the war years.

Yeomans does an elegant dance with the English language. Something I always appreciate.

New Orleans' spirits and ghosts are notoriously unreliable and fickle, 

but they are supposed to visit Ronel Janse van Vuuren's blog this March 16th.

Pay her blog a visit and say HI.  

If the spirits are not there yet, 

they are probably sight-seeing and scaring shop-keepers and tourists alike!

HER REVIEW
(5  Stars)

I liked the intertwined history, mystery and the odd (and compelling) character that is Lucas. 

And the author’s play with language is quite a treat! 

The world building is intricate, the layers fascinating 

and Irene is clearly insane (though, that is part of the fun) – 

and no-one in this story can truly be sane with everything they encounter.
