Shadows of Bourbon Street The Jade Calhoun Series Book 5 edition by Deanna Chase Paranormal Romance eBooks

I started this series on a whim and was hooked. I am not the target audience for this genre (as I am older and male) but grew up reading fantasy and found this to be a good read for those of us so inclined. There is a bit of a "Lord of the Rings" flavor as Jade works her way through constantly changing challenges while trying to keep various forces in check.

Ms. Chase has a clean writing style and draws you in quickly providing plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading. I tend to keep my reviews more about the authors craft and steer clear of summaries that could spoil the book for a reader. So if you like paranormal stories that have a bit of a dark edge to them (Denise Grover Swank, Mindy Klasky, Elizabeth Reeves or HP Mallory) you should like this series. There is a little humor and a little pathos but on the whole this is series that chronicles the growth of a white witch and those around her and the shifting conflicts that come with that growth. There is a lot to the story that plays on the setting of New Orleans, that settings lends lot to the tenor of the story as well as the continued unfolding of the stories of the characters that surround Jade. I am not sure of any setting other than Savanah that would support the story as well. Well written and well plotted, though this episode Jade seems a little more tentative than the last.

I strongly suggest reading them in order. The story makes much more sense that way and I found it more enjoyable to follow the story as it built. I can see this series going on for a number more episodes.

Shadows of Bourbon Street The Jade Calhoun Series Book 5 edition by Deanna Chase Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews

In Short Jade and Kane finally step up to take their romance to an official level when they are whisked away and their lives are changed dramatically. Both struggle to adjust to Kane's new status while searching for a way to free another witch who is withering away to nothing. Literally.

So the story this time was good, but, I am not liking how Jade is evolving. For a very powerful white witch she always still seems to be lacking. Then, the author is starting to make her sound older than her years. While she was vibrant and strong she is starting to sound like, well, my 60-something mother. While I want to read a maturing saga, this one is just starting to get a little off to me.

I am wondering what could possibly happen next in the Jade Clahoun series. I have a feeling it will be centered around Kane, but I will just have to wait and see.
I continue to enjoy these books because I like the characters and the setting . They are not deep and sometimes you can figure out what's going on very quickly but they are none the less entertaining and that is all I want. I have found that listening and reading are both great fun with this series. The narrator, Traci Odem, is fantastic as she gives depth to the characters through her vocalizations of them. You cannot be bored when you know the backdrop is New Orleans, though I would be happy with more about mardi gras if it going to be used as a device. This was a quick read that held my interest and kept me wanting to continue to the next book.

Jade and Kane are about to say 'I do' when the High Angel interrupts the nuptials to give them their first assignment as Shadow Walkers. A witch is in trouble and only Jade and Kane can save her. But of course there is more going on than meets the eye and this couple falls into it.

With three plots running it could become hard to figure out what is going on but that is not the case. Each crisis has a start, a middle, and an ending that is satisfying. One gripe is that every book has someone in Jade's circle gaining some type of power or gift. That can get a bit monotonous. But the books are fun and fast reads so it is worth it.
Wow. This one was pretty bad.

Jade handed over her diamond engagement ring to Kat to act as her anchor. Problem is, while the author refers to this ring twice as being a diamond, it is incorrect. A mistake not caught by author, editor or publisher.

Kane gave Jade an EMERALD engagement ring in a previous book. Stupid mistake.

There was quite a bit of stupid going on. Bam! Chessa barges into their wedding and demands Jade and Kane help drag her sister out of another dimension, but couldn't it wait the measly 5 minutes more to finish the ceremony? Yes, they could have. Every reader thought this same thing. I guarantee that.
It was a silly, silly move on the authors part. The big explosion by Chessa and whats-his-face, intended to cause a major upheaval at the festivities, failed miserably and only annoyed the reader. Dumb. Wait...I already said it was stupid, so I don't need the word dumb in here. Ok. Forget I said dumb. It's only stupid.

They drive to a town where their car is riddled with bullets from rednecks opening fire at them simply because they drove down their street.

Didn't make any sense. They're driving down a street and some hillbilly steps out of his house with a gun. They drive a bit more and his neighbor comes out of HIS house with a gun and suddenly, an entire street of toothpick chewin' Bubba's open fire on Kane's Lexus. First of all, this part of the story (while again stupid.....oh ok, AND dumb) made it sound like Kane was only driving 5 miles an hour or less. If you're driving through a neighborhood, how would you know all these people are stepping outside their homes with guns unless you're crawling down the street at a snails pace? Speed limit in residential neighborhoods is 25 MPH. Both Kane and Jade knew they weren't where they needed to be yet so this whole scenario just didn't work and really had no place in this story whatsoever.
The whole shooting street thingy was never explained.

Then the other coven was insanely hostile, cruel and askin' for it. Especially Dayla. It would have been completely worth it to get zapped by a witch just to have the satisfaction of belting Dayla across the face. Jade seemed so weak. Pathetic at this point.

Then of course, Dayla turns Kane into an incubi and readers are now facing yet another group to train Kane. gun shooting hillbilly's were introduced. A new coven of witches were introduced and the entire brotherhood of incubus was introduced. Way too much going on here.

Seriously? Drop everything so Kane can train for a week or more? Lol.
I'd have told everyone I was under contract with Chessa and before you lay a hand on either of us they'd better think of consequences of Chessas wrath. The higher-up angels trump everyone else. the whole thing with Kane didn't work and it didn't make sense. He's under contract with the main angel. He can't just take time off. Jade also wussed her way through that entire bizarre day letting everyone and everything intimidate her..

Weird, weird book. Odd story line and mistakes that don't belong in a book that readers pay for.
