For the first time since we launched Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, Random House Canada is thrilled to announce the debut of a new urban fantasy series. Kristi Charish's The Voodoo Killings introduces Kincaid Strange, not your average voodoo practitioner...
For starters, she's only 27. Then there's the fact that she lives in rain-soaked Seattle, which is not exactly Haiti. And she's broke. With raising zombies outlawed throughout the continental USA, Kincaid has to eke out a living running seances for university students with more money than brains who are desperate for guitar lessons with the ghost of a Seattle grunge rocker--who happens to be Kincaid's on-again, off-again roommate.
Then a stray zombie turns up outside her neighborhood bar: Cameron Wight, an up-and-coming visual artist with no recollection of how he died or who raised him. Not only is it dangerous for Kincaid to be caught with an unauthorized zombie, she soon realizes he's tied to a spate of murders: someone is targeting the zombies and voodoo practitioners in Seattle's infamous Underground City, a paranormal hub. When the police refuse to investigate, the City's oldest and foremost zombie asks Kincaid to help. Raising ghosts and zombies is one thing, but finding a murderer? She's broke, but she's not stupid.
And then she becomes the target...As the saying goes, when it rains it pours, especially in Seattle.
WHY I'M WAITING: I absolutely love books about voodoo and this one sounds awesome Also, it's by the same people that launched Kelley Armstrong's first series so they must know what they are doing. I don't know if I can wait until May!!!!!
What are you waiting for this week and does this sound good to you????
I don't usually read this kind of book, but the Seattle setting and the MC a broke university student...I had to find out more. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “SHE’S NOT THERE”
Awesome choice! I just heard about this. I loved Kristi's book Owl and the Japanese Circus, so I'll be reading this one for sure.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that series but it has always caught my eye. Thanks for stopping by Tammy.
DeleteI like books about voodoo too. Not as keen on zombies, but definitely going to have to check this one out. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many takes on zombies recently that I am interested to see how they are done in this series. Then again, I love zombies!
DeleteSounds good to me too! I like the setting/idea behind it.
ReplyDeleteI love zombie movies but I don't think I've ever read any zombie books (although I really want to check out Warm Bodies!). Perhaps I should give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me, but it sounds really interesting. I hope you enjoy reading it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW.
I don't know if I've ever read a book with voodoo before. Sounds intriguing! Great cover!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about this one but it sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteOMG You had me with voodoo and zombies. How did I not know about this book? I'm so glad I know now because I have to check it out! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found it Eve. I love featuring books on W.O.W that aren't always the normal ones you see each week.
DeleteThis sounds like a good one, going to look it up and put it on my list. :)
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, voodoo! This book reminds me of the Spirit Guide series which I liked.
