A review by deanie
Always Be My Banshee by Molly Harper

4.0

Return to Mystic Bayou, Louisiana in the fourth book in the Mystic Bayou series. When book 3 ended, they had just discovered that a mysterious (and possibly lonely) artifact was responsible for the secret rift that was changing supernaturals and normal people alike. With that, the League for Interspecies Cooperation brings in touch psychic Cordelia to investigate the artifact, and banshee Brendon to move the artifact (since it can't affect him) and protect Cordelia.

Cordelia Canton is an interesting character. She comes from a shady background, with her mother having raised her to use her psychic gifts for grifting, but she rejected that and tries to use her gifts for good. Her ability to get memories from objects and people sounds terrifying. I can't imagine getting nightmares from touching a piece of rope or any other inanimate object.

The usual characters (Bael, Jillian, Sonya, Dani, Will) are here and just as funny as ever. Zed is super adorable in this one, like a were teddy bear (instead of a big werebear). His friendship with Cordelia is one of the best parts of the whole series.

I hope Harper is writing more Mystic Bayou books, because she ended it on what could be a big potential cliffhanger.
