Voodoo on the Bayou
3.75 starsI loved the princess and the frog film from Disney, and this book is a retelling of this story in adult language, and was very enjoyable.
Craig an attorney in New Orleans, he is visiting his uncle, he is known as a womaniser but he crosses the wrong girl, her grandma is a voodoo priestess.....so his cursed to live as a frog by day and to try to woo someone enough to love him by night.
Elaine a slightly nerdy looking girl hiding her beauty behind closed doors, with the most amazing green eyes and naturally wavy hair that frames her face.....well she has come to find out what is causing pollution in the bayou waters.
It's down to Craig to take her out in the water and they get to know each other, could she be the one - you can't force love, and as he disappears in the day that can't help.
A really nice story, i enjoyed the writing, Elaine is a great character very warm and real with insecurities, Craig is rather delicious too. There are quite a few characters that speak in southern drawl (is that the right term??), there is a mystery and danger, and an amusing uncle all thrown in the story too. Hot bedroom and shower scenes are there too, and yes I think I may well have fell for Craig myself he was rather yummy, even cute as a frog!!
**i received this book from netgalley for an honest review**
