Remember when you were a kid and it was the night before the family's Six Flags trip? You couldn't get to sleep. You knew the next day would be the BEST. That is totally where I am right now.
The third installment in one of my favorite urban fantasy series comes out tomorrow, and I cannot wait. If you haven't read Suzanne Johnson's Sentinels of New Orleans series, you are missing it out. Set in post-Katrina New Orleans, this series has everything: a feisty female wizard heroine, the undead pirate Jean Lafitte, merpeople, elves, shifters, and southern fried mystery. The series is dark, but it has some of the funniest lines I've read. The recently released trailer for the series does a great job of capturing its flavor.
The third book in the series, Elysian Fields, promises a mystery involving a serial killer who has made our favorite wizard a target. I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep tonight. At least I know that come midnight, that wonderful treat will download to my e-reader. Much better than Six Flags.

You won't be disappointed!! Suzanne really outdid herself^^
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome! Just don't start reading before you go to sleep because you will be up all night glued to the pages!
ReplyDeleteMiki - you don't know how bad it is killing me not to play hooky from work to stay home and read. My hard cover copy was delivered Monday by Amazon, and I have left in its safe brown, cardboard wrapper w/a sticky note on it reminding me I have to finish writing relating work first b/f I can have my treat. However, I do already have the e-copy on my Nook, and that bad boy may have to go to court with me tomorrow. There will be a lot of waiting time where people can think I am reading cases!
ReplyDeleteLiz - I know what you mean. When I started River Road I was unable to stop. I read until sunup! If I were smart, I'd save the book for Friday so that I can sleep all day Saturday, but I don't think I have the willpower.
