Summary

In near-future New Orleans, draugar, again-walkers, are faster and stronger than most humans but not venomous until they are a century old. Until then, they shamble and bite. Since not everyone wants to see their relatives end up that way, Geneviève Crowe makes her living beheading the dead.

But now, her magic's gone sideways, and the only person strong enough to help her is the one man who could tempt her to think about picket fences: Eli Stonecroft, a faery who chose bar-owner in New Orleans over a life in Elphame.

When human businessmen start turning up as draugar, both the queen of the again-walkers and the wealthy son of one of the victims hire Geneviève to figure it out. She works to keep her magic in check, the dead from crawling out of their graves, and enough money for a future that might be a lot longer than she'd like.

Neither her heart nor her life are safe now that she's juggling a faery, murder, and magic.

Good idea

So the foundations for a great book are all here. The story could be very interesting but at this moment in time I’m thinking what’s the point… there was no real start middle or end to this… I’ve got the next book waiting but I’m not on tenterhooks. This author is amazing so I’m just going to put my faith in the process. The characters have potential, and I’m living for the bad ass lead… but that being said I don’t feel like we know much about her… needs to be a lot more character development! And what’s with this love interest… can we have a direction please. Let’s see what else happens.
