Fast read, but the plot is weaker than in part 1 and 2 of this series. And as often happens with series romance, the romance takes 2nd place to the suspense.

And yet again, as if by magic, the bad guy has a tattoo, and within a few alineas the overall mystery plot of the series gets solved. This overall plot line was very, very weak. IMO the protagonists being half-brothers would have been enough connection between the books.

All in all it's a far cry from her standalones. ( )

In DeLeon’s romantic suspense novel, something is out there wreaking havoc on a Mystere hotel. Tanner LeDoux has just joined his brother’s detective agency and his first case is to find the mythical creature or the malicious vandal and put a stop to the terror. The hotel in question belongs to Jose Bettencourt, Tanner’s first love—a woman who has no idea who he is.

Tanner doesn’t believe in superstition but he’s given the opportunity to be Jose’s knight in shining armor when the unexplained happens. Whatever lurks in Honey Island Swamp intents bodily harm to Josie and Tanner is willing to put everything on the line to protect her.

A great story, strong characters—a fabulous addition to the Mystere Parish series. ( )
