There is a darkness falling over the
crescent city during the most cheerful times of the year, and there is a
mystery that begs to be solved.
Charlotte Summers is forced to come
home after the death of her biological parents. Having been raised by her
grandmother, a voodoo priestess, she returns to say her goodbyes to her parents
that she knew very little about, and support her grieving grandmother. Soon
after returning, she loses her high school sweetheart to a weaseling
cheerleader. But Tina, Charlotte's best friend, is there for her through it
all.
Things start to change New Orleans
in a dark way after the arrival of a mysterious man, Cassius, whom bought the
Nottoway Plantation shows up. Murders start to occur, dead bodies drained of
blood, and shriveled up like mummies are floating in the Mississippi River and
dumped in dark alleys.
As Charlotte is drawn to the
Mysterious new owner of the Nottoway Plantation, she is pulled into a world
that is dark, dangerous, alluring... and turning the Mississippi River blood
red.
Are Charlotte and Tina safe from the
horrors that surround them, or are they just the next victims to a creature of
legend?
The Man in the Golden Mask was a
dark vampire romance set in New Orleans present day. I can't really go into
much of the plot without giving too much away but I will say this, this book
has some voodoo, vampires,and a masquerade ball. It is dark but had humorous
parts too. There is mystery, suspense, and some sad parts too. This book has
everything that makes a good read. It is well written and keeps you right there
needing to read more so, in my opinion this was an excellent read and I look
forward to reading more from this author. Oh and I loved Charlotte's friend
Tina and her grandmother. I liked their feisty attitudes.
Returning
home to New Orleans was bitter sweet for Charlotte Summers. She had worked hard
to leave and attend a University further away, now she was going back to live
with her grandma, a voodoo queen, and figure out what to do with her life. A
mystery man may turn out to be her answer in The Man in the Golden mask by N.A. Wetzel. After meeting her mystery man other strange
things start happening. Bodies are found dead, completely drained. For the
first time Charlotte believes in all the folk stories her grandmother had
shared with her, mainly vampires. When push comes to shove Charlotte will find
she has some magical powers of her own.
A
vampire book with no sex…What? It was still steamy even though the sexy couple
never hit the sheets and I liked it. New Orleans is always a great back drop
for paranormal adventures. The author captured what the city felt, looked and
smelled like, taking you there. I could smell the coffee as I read. The villain
in the story turned out to be a surprise, especially since most of his stories
he is the hero. I like a story where I feel a part of it and this book did
that.
