Review: Death Rites

The Voodoo Trials have been evoked. One student from each College will be called.

Kalfu has taken a host. Lives have been lost. Most blame Annabelle. If the Academy—and all of Vilokan—is going to stand against Kalfu they must find a way to unite. Headmistress Erzulie has evoked the Voodoo Trials. A new High Hougan or Mambo must be chosen to unite the Academy’s five colleges. But when Annabelle discovers the true purpose of the Trials she must make an impossible choice—either compete to win, and divide Vilokan further, or risk unleashing an evil that will destroy the Voodoo world from within.

Review: Grim Tidings

Taking on death on its own turf….

Annabelle Mulledy survived Kalfu’s attack – one friend saved, another lost in Guinee. But now the vampires are on the rise. Most of them, she can handle without much trouble. But when an ancient, more powerful vampire confronts her – one who is uncomfortably familiar to her – and his apprentice joins her at the Voodoo Academy, she finds she has little choice. Help this vampire arrest and overpower death itself, or risk seeing her sister and parents irrevocably “turned” themselves.

Grim Tidings is the second book in the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series. Theophilus Monroe’s Annabelle Mulledy is a badass heroine with a snarky attitude. Monroe draws on the legend and myth of Voodoo lore in a way that neither caricatures the arts as “demonic” nor glosses over the dark side of the Voodoo tradition. With dark magic, dragons, vampires, and some budding light slow-burn romance, Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series has something for everybody.

Review: Voodoo Academy

Being possessed has its advantages…

Annabelle Mulledy survived a voodoo attack on her family as a child — but it left her possessed by the spirit of a nearly 200-year-old girl. This girl, however, came with strange abilities bestowed upon her in the afterlife. When Kalfu, an evil Loa, discovers Annabelle, he hopes to use her abilities to his advantage — to escape the spiritual realm and take a corporeal form. When Ogoun, the Loa of War, intervenes, he recruits Annabelle to join him as a student at the Voodoo Academy. Will Annabelle master the arts and fend off Kalfu’s spiritual assaults? Or is she ultimately a puppet in a battle between voodoo demigods?

Voodoo Academy is the first book in the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series. Theophilus Monroe’s Annabelle Mulledy is a snarky, badass heroine with attitude. Monroe draws on the legend and myth of voodoo lore in a way that neither caricatures the arts as “demonic” nor glosses over the dark side of the voodoo tradition. With dark magic, dragons, vampires, and a slow-burn academy romance, the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series has something for everybody.
