ROYAL STREET

(SENTINELS OF NEW ORLEANS: Book 1)

Written by Suzanne Johnson

genre: urban fantasy, paranormal, suspense, mystery

4 STARS 

Drusilla Jaco,aka DJ, is a juniour wizard learning the craft from her uncle and once guardian, Gerry St. Simon. He is also her boss and mentor for the New Orleans' Sentinel assigned to protect the city from rogue supernatural.  Hurricane Katrina has caused more than damage and death to the city but have crumbled the the border between the modern world and the otherworld.  While DJ is visiting her grandmother she realizes she has not heard from Gerry and goes back home to discover he has disappeared.  The Elders have assigned an enforcer, Alex Warin who is sent in to help her locate her uncle but may have his own agenda.  The search is on!

What a witty fun urban fantasy novel.  DJ is sarcastic wizard who has bad luck with men - and will have you laughing out loud or crying alongside her.  She is like Harry Dresdon in that she is anything but conventional and this novel is one part smart humour and another part heartbreaking.

River Road (Book 2)

Hurricane Katrina is long gone, but the preternatural storm rages on in New Orleans. New species from the Beyond moved into Louisiana after the hurricane destroyed the borders between worlds, and it falls to wizard sentinel Drusilla Jaco and her partner, Alex Warin, to keep the preternaturals peaceful and the humans unaware. But a war is brewing between two clans of Cajun merpeople in Plaquemines Parish, and down in the swamp, DJ learns, there’s more stirring than angry mermen and the threat of a were-gator.
Wizards are dying, and something—or someone—from the Beyond is poisoning the waters of the mighty Mississippi, threatening the humans who live and work along the river. DJ and Alex must figure out what unearthly source is contaminating the water and who—or what—is killing the wizards. Is it a malcontented merman, the naughty nymph, or some other critter altogether? After all, DJ’s undead suitor, the pirate Jean Lafitte, knows his way around a body or two.
It’s anything but smooth sailing on the bayou as the Sentinels of New Orleans series continues
