A strange strain of the measles virus breaks out in Cajun country. Someone steals corpses from local graves giving rise to zombie rumors. Plus Sophie must gather a team of old friends—and even foes—to fight the ultimate evil.
Mama Brijit is back and she wants blood! The evil loa is creating an army of black magic monsters to attack New Orleans. Sadly, more of Sophie’s loved ones will perish in the coming war with Brijit. Will Sophie take her rightful place as Voodoo Queen or will the Queen of Black Magic lay claim to New Orleans?
Book 4: Courtship
While Sophie Nouveau stresses over wedding plans, she fears Madame LaLaurie has been resurrected somehow when a black bird snatches a newborn from its crib out in Cajun country. Sophie investigates the kidnapping and uncovers clues about a Skinwalker, a different type of shapeshifter who can steal and wear human skins. She suspects the creature strikes again when one of her loved ones dies amid disturbing circumstances. While in mourning, Sophie also ascertains the identity of her biological father.
As Sophie’s inner demons rise, she realizes her birth was just a part of a diabolical scheme to destroy Sacred Power and spread black magic across New Orleans. Sophie will face a trial by fire in her priestess training in order to fight this threat and restore the universal balance. But will she be able to walk through the flames? Or will she get burned?
Book 3: Flight
Sophie Nouveau ventures to faraway Malaysia to seek answers about why her true love, Taj, broke up with her and returned to his homeland. When she gets there, she realizes something has been haunting Taj’s kid brother. But is it mental illness or black magic?
While Sophie’s a world away, a customer claims she is poisoned by a potion from Seraphina’s House of Voodoo. As a result, the FDA shuts down Sophie’s shop pending an investigation into the incident. So she rushes back to New Orleans only to realize a traitor is at the root of all this bad mojo. That person, who’s in cahoots with Dr. Bones, wants to usurp the title of Voodoo Queen from the Papillon family line forever.
Book 2: Emergence
Voodoo shop owner Sophie Nouveau has it all: love, purpose, and the magical ability to change evil people good. Following in her family’s otherworldly footsteps, she emerges into the New Orleans voodoo community by taking part in a public voodoo baptism. However, she still hasn’t told Taj, the love of her life, about the paranormal skeletons in her closet. So when he leaves the country indefinitely and without explanation, she realizes they are both masters at keeping secrets. And since true love is the source of Sophie’s Mind Changer spell, she not only loses her soul mate, she loses her ability to protect herself and her city against an emerging threat.

"OMG, these books are so amazing. Been to New Orleans twice, such an intriguing and interesting place. Decided to take up reading while camping, couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the sequel." --From fan, Linda
“She did it again!!! I was in bed exhausted at 3 AM, eyes burning with tears rolling out, but I could not put this book down! It kept me at the edge of my seat, psychological thriller should be added to the description. There were so many unexpected & exciting twists & turns. I especially love the character development. If you haven’t read Voodoo Butterfly this is still a good stand alone book, but it’s so much better if you do read it first. I hope this author adds a new series about Yolanda & Margaret, and another about Jacques. They were so much fun to get to know. There were some new characters introduced and they are as equally entertaining. I am dying to find out what happens next, spoiler alert - there is a cliffhanger.” --From fan, Dawn
