Bayou Whispers, the latest thriller from horror writer R.B. Wood is the story of no-nonsense New Orleans native, Jeannine LaRue, the sole survivor of her family after the devastation brought on by Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of the storm, she believed she'd been saved, but soon found herself held hostage and sexually exploited, rescued months later by sheriff's deputy Curtis Jones. Twelve years after Katrina, Jeannine is a new attorney who returns to New Orleans to save her old friend Curtis Jones-now a local thief and trafficker of stolen goods-after he is arrested for the murder of Jeannine's captors, whose bodies have recently been found. But Jeannine discovers more than she bargained for when she uncovers a family history of dark voodoo magic and an unholy alliance with an ancient evil Haitian god.

The title tells a lot about what awaits us in this novel: sticky swamps and lots of voodoo magic. Ghosts, golems, zombies, black magic - you name it, you got it. I especially liked the appearance of the golem, which is still a minority when it comes to creatures in horror stories, so I was pleased to meet one here. There are also a couple of action-packed fighting scenes to let off some steam in between the mind-bending magic and voodoo stuff. The story is complex but never confusingly so, and it leads to a satisfying ending which may hint at a (not unwelcome) sequel, as I wouldn't mind meeting the ragtag group again for a another adventure. Thumbs up for another noteworthy publication by Crystal Lake, which has established itself as a guarantor of good horror stories.
(I chose to read and review this book, which was kindly provided as an ARC by the publisher)
