Queen B’s Decree: This book is a chunk, and yet, it went by so fast.
The Casquette Girls had such an interesting premise. Adele is back in New Orleans after a big hurricane nearly destroyed her neighborhood. After she returns there are some odd happenings; murders occurring, and she maybe has some telekinesis or magic? And wouldn’t you know it, there are some new people in town…just arriving at the same time. HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I was really intrigued by the story; the story of the witches and the *gasp* vampires. I loved how Adele makes friends and they band together to figure everything out. But what is a paranormal mystery without a little bit of romance? Adele being drawn to Italian broody boy Nicco, while protective and wholesome Isaac is there to balance out our love triangle.
Filled with history, twists and turns, and little bit of romance, The Casquette Girls definitely hooked me. This is the first in the series, so while we get an ending, it’s absolutely open for more. And yes, I’ve already downloaded the next so I’m ready!
