Being a strong fan of supernatural and detective books set in Louisiana, I enjoyed reading this book. It has all the supernatural elements and exotic superstitions of New Orleans that I come to love and expect, which is what makes this book so rich.
Jameson Currier easily guides the reader through his knotted story of family, boyfriends, and co-workers, from the 1800s, 1970s, and the present. Also I appreciate that he isn?t overly cautious when he expertly writes a strong HIV positive character into his novel.
Stuck in a struggling position, Avery, the main character copes by over-indulging in alcohol and food. (This type of character is a comfortable familiar to me and fans of Stephen King novels. Because, it seems to me that a majority King?s better characters hold on tightly with their sweaty hands to life's crutches of addiction; whether it is drinking, chain smoking, or sex, in order to just get through it all and hopefully with their sanity in tacked too.) To discover what ?The Wolf at the Door? lore is all about, Avery will at first convince himself that the ghosts of slaves and angels that he designs to represent his conscience in the super sexy body of a muscle queen, are nothing more than hallucinations triggered by too much stress and very poor health.
In a desperate effort to keep the bankrupting business operating, never-minding all the repairs, up keep, and modernizing that it is so desperately in need of, an unsubstantial romantically tragic haunted story is made up to draw in tourists? dollars. However, when Hank, Avery?s employee and on his way out the door boyfriend, finds Pierre Dubuisson?s journal, the once thought to be pretend and revenue producing story involving the unrestful spirit of Angelle and a sordid love triangle, actually turns out to be a part of the history of Le Petite Paradis.
To complicate matters further, a monstrous and forgotten secret of the family?s graveyard is shockingly revealed. It will take more than the help of Toby, the ghost of Mack?s dead boyfriend, Voodoo charms and talismans, and a séance to bring peace and to set things right. It will take Avery coming to terms with his evangelistic past, having faith in an afterlife, and even prayer, to make a happy ending of this gothic tale.
