Delaney Mills is haunted by darkness. Not of a spiritual kind, but a terrible past that all the rum in the world cannot chase away. Enter Valentine King, a sexy and irresistible man with connections to the world of Voodoo—a world that Delaney is desperately trying to break into.
Chicago-native Delaney follows her dissertation research all the way to the streets of New Orleans. With King’s help, she uncovers a covert group called the Bondye Saints. The group wants to remain a secret and will do whatever it takes to keep the two quiet. But threats and attacks on her life don’t deter Delaney’s desire to expose the Saints’ sins.
While she’s willing to risk her own life, Delaney hates that the one man who can chase away her darkness is put in danger. But Valentine King refuses to let her go. Because in his world built on faith, Delaney Mills is the one thing he believes in.
ARC received for an honest review
Darkness and mystery about in this thriller set in New Orleans (and man, has this also made me want to go back and visit NOLA).
When Delaney travels to New Orleans to research Voodoo, never did she ever believe in a) voodoo and b) that her asking around would put a target on her back.
From the minute Valentine King meets Delaney, he is hooked.
Mystery, intrigue, suspense. King Me was one of those stories that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading.
Throughout the story I thougt I knew who the bad buys were, and I never really knew who I - or Delaney - could trust.
And I am not ashamed to say that I thought some bad things about some of the good guys!
I was completely drawn into the vibe of New Orleans, I could feel the heat, imagine the sights (and the smells - it can be a bit of a stinky place lol).
Now I want beignets, and I want more of Delaney and King.
I can't wait to see what Ms Vining brings us next.
