Mea Culpa by Rayvn Salvador

4.0

I have so enjoyed this series of paranormal romance stories in New Orleans--land of all things spooky--, and I am thrilled to know there will be a spin-off because I am not ready to say goodbye to the crew of Haunted New Orleans. We met the sweet witch Birdie in the previous novels this is her story.

Her backstory involves a cult under the control of a maniacal leader who steals the power of others to control. Birdie refuses and runs away to hide and build a new life for herself with a new name. Due to a series of coincidences (?) Birdie has a reunion with her childhood best friend Kholt. What ensues is two friends uncovering the love that has always been there.

Once again, we get a delightful side story of one of the historic sites in New Orleans that has you Googling where they are so you can see where the story is taking place. All this just adds dimension to the action taking place between the characters. Ghosts reveal secrets of how diabolical the cult leader is and what lengths he will go to protect his "power." All culminating in a very satisfying ending.

Haunted New Orleans has been a great series and an enjoyable book to close it out. I am happy to know there will be a spinoff to keep us involved with the Haunted New Orleans crew for several upcoming books.
