![]() ![]() ![]() Roxie chooses to use it to help people, by clearing houses of unwanted spirits, rather than using her power for personal gain. I think a lot of books related to witchcraft could suffer in the wake of movies like The Craft, or TV shows like Buffy, and it's nice that the female protagonist is granted power of her own, to do with as she will. He doesn't save the day, just lends a hand when she needs it. ![]() Even though Blake is by turns an arrogant so-and-so and a dangerous man, he's also Very Sexy and the type of hero someone as strong as Roxie needs. Roxie is a strong and independent heroine, with a taste for the blues and a capable streak that made me warm to her pretty much instantaneously, and Daniel is one of the coolest vampires I've come across in a very long time. I don't normally read paranormal romance but Red House is closer to urban fantasy, and there's enough of the cool energy-blasting and ghost busting to make me rather keen for the next instalment, Hoodoo Woman. Aided and abetted by her ancestor, vampire Daniel, and sexy sorceror Blake, Roxie has to fight to clear a B&B of malevolent spirits - all while facing some demons of her own. Red House is about paranormal investigator Roxanne Mathis, who just so happens to be a practicing witch. ![]()
