This book was simply okay . I really like the concept, the story taking place in New Orleans it being surrounded by a young voodoo queen and a curse of the plantation but the main character was quite annoying . I understood that she was a young poor girl trying to make ends meet for herself and her grandmother, best friends with a really rich girl who received just about any and everything that money could buy from her parents . I got the idea that the rich girl , Sabrina , was to be portrayed as the spoiled bratty girl when in all actuality the biggest brat was the main character herself, Arelia. She whined when certain people talked to her, got really offensive and snappy with others and was very judgmental about every single character she came into contact with .  She was the main reason I was not going to finish this book . But in fairness I must say finding out the curse that was placed on the great great-great-grandfather of the plantation , Lucas , is the main reason I will continue to read the series . Also there is a character named Ivan who played a server at the plantation who  seems to be holding on to a little secret I would like to find out about . All in all the book was okay if Arelia wasn't so bratty I'd  probably like it a lot better. Yes there were a couple grammatical mistakes but who cares the book was free .
