The Casquette Girls by Alys Arden
4.0

Oh my! I absolutely loved this book! I'm a big fan of New Orleans to begin with (I honeymooned there). So that was a win from the start. I loved the look into the city after the Storm. Such heartbreak there. I loved the characters. There's a bit of a love triangle that develops and still honestly can't say which boy I prefer. Although, the romance is a pretty minor bit of the book.

The paranormal aspects of the book are much different from what I've read before. To start I was being diligent in highlighting parts of the book I liked or felt was important. But then there just came a point where I just needed to find out what was happening and couldn't be bothered to take the time to highlight.

There is so much in this book that I honestly feel like I could go back right now and reread this book and catch things I didn't see the first time around. Good thing book 2 is available in KU. I've already put it in my KU library. Note that the book does not end on a technical cliffhanger. There are just things that you know will continue on. It's kind of hard to explain without spoiling the book.
