John Landry is a cop, posing as a caretaker, at a gloomy old mansion (laMalediction). John is really searching for his missing half-sister (Rachel) who has disappeared and was heading here. He eventually meets Olivia Markham, who is currently leasing the mansion and may have a connection to it. But someone seems to be trying to scare Olivia…

This was a very entertaining read. I love stories with spooky old houses and secret passageways so I really enjoyed this one. It had great atmosphere. I liked the main couple, Olivia was a strong and gutsy heroine.

This was my first read by Jana DeLeon and I look forward to reading more from this author. ( )

I could not spot the bad guy (normally I see them coming a mile away). This was a very good read. ( )

This fast-paced, enjoyable story has mystery, romance and voodoo! All the elements needed for a story set in a cursed mansion, in a bayou in Louisiana. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To my critique partners, Carl Manderscheid and Cindy Taylor, for your constant cheerleading and support on every new venture I take with my writing career. To my friend Colleen Gleason, who always pushes me to action when I’m on the fence. To my friend, Tracey Stanley, who tells everyone who will listen about my books. To my daily chat buddy, Leslie Langtry, for always reminding me that we can’t take ourselves too seriously. To my parents, Jimmie and Bobbie Morris, for never doubting I could accomplish anything I sent my mind to. To Jimmie, Donna, and Katianne Morris, for your continued support in an unpredictable career path. To my agent, Kristin Nelson, for venturing into unknown territory and creating my relationship with Harlequin. To my editor, Allison Lyons, for your patience with me in learning the ropes and your enthusiasm for the work itself. It’s always a pleasure to work with people who truly love their product. And to my cousin, Cathy Jane, who no longer has an excuse for not readying one of my books, as this one is short.
