5 Reasons You Know It’s Time to Move Out:
In Mirabella’s Mardi Gras Ménage, the main character rests on the cusp of adulthood. She needs to move out on her own in order to reach new opportunities. In her honor, here’s a quirky list highlighting when it’s time to say goodbye.
5) You’re tired of your Voodoo queen aunt sampling your blood for remedies.
4) The home apartment doubles as a Voodoo shop, and it’s an open door for paranormal creatures in trouble.
3) You’ve kept your own powers hidden for too long, and it’s time to be free.
2) If she could, your crazy ol’ aunt would start calling you Rapunzel, lock you in a tower and toss away the key.
1) You’ve got a vampire lover waiting for you.
So what do you say? Is it time for Mirabella to find a place of her own? How did you know when to say when?
What starts as a new experience – a Mardi Gras Ménage – soon turns deadly, and none of their lives will ever be the same.
MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
As the seventh book in The Vampire, The Witch, and the Werewolf series a lot has come before this but though I haven't read any of the previous books I didn't feel out of the loop at all. The characters featured in this story have been seen before with vampire Nick being the fledgling of old vampire Lawrence, Mirabella being the relative of a Voodoo priestess who has more powers than even she knows, and human Marguerite whose life is about to change dramatically once these three form their fiery ménage.
The people in this ménage come together out of an instant attraction or through years of longing, but either way their time together is super steamy and well-written to make it a truly believable relationship. They're immensely likable with a surprising playfulness to their personalities. They care about each other instantly and once a life or death incident befalls them their love shows its true intensity. The intermixing of their paranormal abilities, which we see very little of, was entertaining and their interactions brought to mind a modern twist to the TV show Friends. They present a united front and will grow in their abilities as they support each other in the years ahead.
This was a fun story. There was no earth-shattering message, just a well-written and sexy story that vividly depicted the excitement and exoticness of Mardi Gras. Those looking for an entertaining and wild ride of a story will find this story a fantasy-like delight that has me wanting to read more from Ms. Bacio.
My rating for this is a B
