The Voodoo Dolls Boxed Set (Books 0-3): An Urban Fantasy Adventure by J.L. HendricksMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Addictive and great series that I really enjoyed.
#1 New Orleans Magic 5*
The Voodoo Dolls are a punk-rock band based in New Orleans who also runs a tourist shop selling voodoo dolls and love potions/fudge. They don't actually have any magic themselves but two of their old school-friends ask for their help finding their missing triplet sister so they introduce them to their wolf shifter friends who they know can help.
Great story with lots of drama and a host of different paranormal races involved in the story. Everything was well written and clear to understand. I liked the link between a female punk-rock band, New Orleans and the host of different paranormal races as they fit together very well. They all had personalities and talents that were in keeping to what they are. There was a burgeoning romance which I hope develops in the series as it continues.
#2 Hurricane of Magic 5*
Whilst Jenna and the other Dolls prepare for Hurricane Gerttie, some vampires are preparing for something completely different which becomes apparent when 8 freshman students go missing from the local university. It must be very concerning as even the local witches council give Jenna and the Dolls help a wolf shifter pack with getting the girls back from the vampires.
A great second book in the series with the girls getting involved in another paranormal emergency involving vampires. There were drama and suspense in spades in this book. Just when you thought surely they would have some time for a rest and to get back to normal, something else happened. The story was well written and everything was clear and easy to feel the thoughts and emotions involved. It seems that everything is developing in this story and I can tell that the next instalment in the story is going to be full of drama again.
#3 Council of Magic 4*
Kat Deveroix is a member of the Voodoo Dolls and recently found out she is a part shifter. Problem is she can't shift and shifter DNA is dominant so there has to be another reason. In their shop, a woman talks to Kat and Jenna about a problem with her boyfriend but it soon becomes apparent that there is a much bigger problem and it is one that the shifter pack thought they had removed some time ago. As part of working out the new monster problem, Kat has to decide between Ivan and her new man. Strap in as we find out so much more about who Kat is.
A great story explaining who Kat is, how she became that way, and the developments afterwards. Finally some romance for some of the Dolls which was long overdue. Well written and everything was clear and easy to feel and experience for the characters. The ending was a little rushed and the last sentence needed details as I think we all wanted it to be horrible/painful for that character. However - I am GUTTED/ANNOYED/pick your word that this is the end of the trilogy when there are still so MANY things for the characters to achieve. No proper HEA for each of the Dolls, and I have questions floating around in my head.
