Review Quotes

Really good story. There's a lot going on in this book. There's voodoo, a serial killer, witchcraft and found families, and mystery, this book has it all.-Patricia B., NetGalley

Devil's Breath by Anna Paxton is an electrifying read that masterfully blends crime thriller with supernatural suspense. Set in the eerie depths of the bayou, the story kicks off with a chilling premise: a serial killer is turning the landscape into a graveyard, all while voodoo witchcraft looms ominously. Paxton skillfully weaves a gripping police/crime procedural that keeps you on the edge of your seat. We get it all in this story, romance, belief system, and the fight against darkness. The pacing is relentless, and the characters (love them) are compelling, making it hard to put down. If this is just the beginning, I can't wait to see where Paxton takes us next. This heart-pounding thriller is a must-read for anyone who loves a good mix of mystery and the supernatural!-NetGalley, Shimere A.
