Review: Voodo on the Bayou by Elle James
“By day a frog, by night a man, ‘til de next full moon…”
At first, lawyer and ladies’ man Craig Thibodeaux thought Madame LeBieu’s chant was a strange bayou joke. But the voodoo worked and Craig is spending his days as…well, a small green frog. Now he has only two weeks to find love, or his new froggy transformation becomes permanent.
When she receives the anonymous toxic water sample from Bayou Miste, research scientist Elaine Smith decides a trip to the bayou is the perfect excuse to escape the lab, and forget about her cheating ex-fiancé. Then she accidentally stumbles upon Craig’s oh-so-fine naked form, and her science-nerd brain is overrun with naughty thoughts about her new gorgeous night-time bayou guide.
But there’s more to Bayou Miste than voodoo curses and sexy late-night trysts. Dark secrets threaten the delicate ecosystem, and there are those who would do anything to keep those secrets hidden. Even murder…
Review:
Voodoo on the Bayou was a fun read! It was the classic story of the frog prince meets the Cajuns! And as someone who has Cajun relatives, I could image the locations and accents in my head (and those accents are important!). Craig was in Bayou Miste to try and get some business accomplished but learns that maybe there is more to life than being a lawyer, or at least a lawyer that has no compassion. Elaine ends up there based on a water sample that was sent to her and a broken engagement. Elaine learns some things about herself including that you can have passion in a relationship and that not all men are idiots! There is just enough mystery to make it interesting and maybe not as predictable as one would think.
I give it 4 paws.
