Blue Moon
by Carla Ledbetter
Review by Eva Almeida : eBooks N' Bytes Reviews

    The beautiful and emotional curator, Mary Corbett, reluctantly agrees to assess
the aging Louisiana plantation as a favor to one of her colleagues. The moment
she discovers that the handsome but married, Jack Windom, will be her partner
for the unwanted assignment, her heart skips a beat... of course, it had to be the
man who she had been attracted to and rejected by 5 years ago!
    During their appraisal of the property, their mutual affections blossom and
Mary learns that a Blue Moon will appear that night aimed at bringing lost
souls back together. Mary and Jack are urged to attend the Blue Moon
voodoo ceremony given by the elderly housekeeper, Sadie, who happens to
be a voodoo high-priestess.
    Upon Jack's return to aid his dying wife, Mary travels back to Boston to try
to pick up where she left off. She quickly discovers that it will not be easy
when she is plagued with nightmares about the deaths of the former owners
of the plantation.
    Mary convinces her wealthy Aunt Elizavon to buy the plantation to renovate
and transform into a bed and breakfast so that Mary can search the place
for clues to the mystery. Little did she expect the intruders, surprises, and
dangers that befall her during those weeks in the plantation -- never mind
the fact that Jack decides to bring his wife to visit...
    Carla Ledbetter's expert descriptions of the run-down plantation paint a vivid
picture to accompany the fast-moving plot. Her characters are well-developed,
believable, and exude vulnerability. Each has their own weaknesses and I love
how she lets the reader inside their minds to see what is motivating their actions
from the determined Mary standing up to her cold-hearted aunt, Elizavon, to the
manipulations of the vivaciously evil, Nicole Martine.
    Blue Moon is a riveting suspense and romance story which dares you to keep
reading regardless of the late hour. You become attached to the characters
and my only regret is that it leaves you wanting more!
