Review: Voodoo on the Bayou – 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-fiance. 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…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This fun and intriguing story was great! I enjoyed it from start to finish. Voodoo, Cajun culture, and a frog? I’m sold. The author introduced the reader to a wonderful, quirky cast of characters and a world that so many of us are drawn to simply because of its uniqueness and mystery. She also wrote in some super steamy scenes, making this story read like a dirty fairy tale.

The two main characters in the book, Craig and Elaine were so much fun to get to know. Craig falls into the spell of Voodoo, which ultimately leads him to the smart and ambitious Elaine. Once introduced, the two of them have an undeniable chemistry that creates a sexy and erotic relationship.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a sexy and bewitching romance.
