A woman, her dog, and a devilish curse. What more could a girl want?

Absolutely nothing stands between a woman and her beloved dog… not even the malevolent force of a voodoo curse.

Kendell Summer, lead guitarist for Polly Urethane and the Strippers, has always been interested in the unexplained. So when she sets off on a paranormal research romp with Myles, a former classmate, to explore his skills in psychometry, she’s ready for a little adventure. But she gets more than she bargained for when her Lhasa apso, Cheesecake, is dognapped. Kendell will do whatever it takes to get her dog back.

While rescuing the pup, Kendell and Myles learn that the touristy glitz of New Orleans’ voodoo shops hides a dark history few understand—a truth that some in the city plan to use for their own gain.

Soon they uncover more than they ever wanted to know about New Orleans’ unsavory past and a curse that threatens to change everything. Only Kendell can prevent the evil they’ve uncovered from doing more damage, but she’ll need Myles’s support and psychometric abilities—and the vigilance of the ever-watchful Cheesecake.

    Having made a name for himself as a glass artist, Greg Chase struggled against the limitations of his medium. As a storyteller he’s discovered the wide open expanses of the written word. His stories often incorporate his personal philosophies on human interactions, our relationships to life, and what lies beyond what we know. A native of California, he and his wife, fellow writer Deanna Chase, now call New Orleans home. The city’s rich atmosphere of food, music, and people add spice to all their endeavors.

    G.A. Chase’s first official foray into writing was the science fiction series Technopia under the name Greg Chase.

    But his passion for New Orleans pulled him from the stars back down to Earth. He fell in love with Big Easy the moment he ate his first dish of crawfish etouffee in a French Quarter restaurant. Gazing at the neighboring two-hundred-year-old structures, he announced to his wife, fellow writer Deanna Chase, that he could easily live in this city. Her look of shock indicated she thought he had been possessed by one of the city’s demons.

    That was in 2003 and that spirit still hasn’t turned him loose. By writing stories inspired and based in New Orleans he hopes to placate his personal demons and angels.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Orleans, A Deadly Curse, and a Dog.
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017

I picked this up based on a Facebook link. I'm very much in love with New Orleans and the description was interesting enough to get me to pick it up. The book started a bit slow, but as the story progressed, it picked up and I found myself pushing to find out what was going to happen.

Greg Chase has a good style, mixing paranormal with some good history, good descriptions, and an obvious love of the city. As a historian and author myself, I'm always interested in how people work the history into their stories and he is very good at this. As he described the city's landmarks and Mardi Gras, I could actually follow where he was in the city. And I loved Cupcake.

I'm going to be picking up book two, I'm intrigued about what his characters are going to be next.

I enjoyed this first book of a new series once I got into it. The first couple of chapters are a bit jumbled and the initial crossing of the two characters didn't make a lot of sense. Once Myles and Kendell enter the antique store, the book really takes off and the story becomes engrossing. The mystery at the core of the series is intriguing. The characters are fun and relateable. This is a different look at the paranormal genre and it is a welcome departure. The setting of New Orleans and the history of the city is like a character of it's own. I will definitely be continuing to follow Myles, Kendell, and Cheesecakes adventures.

The story was good and I enjoyed it but the timeline was not very apparent. One minute it's say a Tuesday and the next it's a month later with no idea what happened in between. I felt like I had skipped a whole chapter when I hadn't. Otherwise I liked it. I'll give the second book a try. Hope it flows better.

I really liked this book. I enjoy paranormal books & this one was not the usual trite same old plots with vampires, werewolves, etc. I liked the fact that the characters were strong, caring, and not tortured, damaged, or really needy. They were people I could identify with & feel comfortable with. Again, I get tired when authors use the same old, same old stereotypical plots and this one was interesting & different. I had a little trouble following all of the family ancestral lines, and I did think the end didn't really end. It's not a cliff hanger, but the end seemed a little too convenient & not completely resolved, but that's because the author is obviously continuing on in the series. Overall, I liked this book very much & hope to read more in the series

In this story, New Orleans is just as much a character as the human (and canine) ones. Which was fine with me, as I’m fascinated by her southern, genteel, but not-afraid-to-get-her-hands-dirty ways. I thought the story was pretty good, in a light sense, well plotted, and good characterization. It danced the line between witchcraft, the X-Files, and Men in Black, but finally accepted its voodoo heritage near the end. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t judge a book by its cover
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

Jusging by the cover, I thought this was going to be a cozy paranormal mystery. It’s not quite a “hardcore” paranormal mystery but not a cozy one either. It lies somewhere in between. There’s a few graphic words but there is no gore.
Good storyline. Great, likeable, well developed characters. It does tend to get a bit confusing with all of the genealogy but no in any way that harms the story.

a nice light read. She attended a college class that was not official, knew he did too, he is known for having found a downed plane earlier on and she now wants him to help prove something paranormal exists.
She is young but dotes on her elderly dog like a lonely old woman. He agrees to her experiment.
The two buy an object, set about finding out its history, a thief grabs the dog, that has possibly swallowed the object. They get hold of the dog and the object again.
He does see things from the past involving the object while the object seems to have some sort of influence over her. A family matter?

The first of the series is imaginative, complex, and intriguing. The band names made me laugh out loud , although I admit to stumbling repeatedly over the dog's name.
The story has plenty of twists and turns, althoughit does get a tad bit bogged down in parts . Overall it is a well-written and entertaining read. I look forward to continuing with the series.

Thank you to the author & amazon for the limited time freebie of the first book of this series. I usually love or hate a book. However out of the hundreds of books I have on my kindle apps etc I was drawn to this. These types of covers are my thing like Mary Janice Davidson who got me into this genre of the supernatural. Then so did Laurel K Hamilton I discovered her about in 2005-06 and it was written in the 90s the first book and is still going strong. I urge you to seek out these authors if you haven’t already. Bartlett & Hamilton are completely different. The Anita Blake series made it to comics & she’s at comic con a lot. Full of gore but it’s nice to get a nitty gritty read instead of girly antics.

This is a great example. Not to that extreme of Hamilton’s but her relationship with her dog to murders & history etc. It’s a great read.

Would have I picked it up in a bookstore. Yes the cover is what attracts me.

Long is the day I spend hours searching the bookshops a thing I do miss but in my small house digital is practical. I also used to dismiss free books due to the quality of writing as time has went by I’ve seen Authors give out the first one free for a limited time and its Sad they have to do that to get more readers due to the era of ebooks. It does work though as I’m now going to purchase the rest of the books at one point of another.

The book started off slow but when I picked it up the next day I read the remaining 74% or thereabouts I had left to read . I like the fact that it wasn’t about girl meets boy etc etc. No she concentrated on the storyline instead of the explicit counters of the main characters. I’ve added the 2nd book onto my wish list so I won’t forget I read so much that I cannot remember which series I’m reading especially this genre.
