Mambo Reina Dumond is a Vodou practitioner in New Orleans. She has a small business compared to Houngan Lucien Alexander. When a body is found dismembered and ready for the oven, the owner of the apartment and Voodoo Real store, practitioner Salimah Grenade is charged. Reina takes it upon herself to prove that no Vodoun practitioner would perform such a ritual and murder. Her ex-lover, Detective Roman Frost, has other ideas. He is a Christian and does not believe in Vodou. He does not like that Reina is interfering in his investigation and lets her know it.

The story has a steady pace, the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the first-person point of view. There are references in the book that made me believe there was a previous book, but this is the first in the series. I was really drawn to Reina because she believes in herself and her religion. If you enjoy books about magic, you will like this one.
