And when that was done, I picked THE REAL AND THE VOODOO back up. My brain just had this block, even though I knew exactly where the plot was going to go. I took a research trip out to Mississippi, spent some time in New Orleans visiting voodoo shops, taking some interesting and dark tours, and visited the tomb of Marie Laveau. I started writing this book a long time ago. For she is the one and only person with the ability to access the Hoodoo Archive, hidden on the family property. They want to make her one of them, and King will stop at nothing to win her over and bring her into the fold. They should stay away from each other, but can't.Īnd it doesn't help when the House of Royals takes an interest in Holt, and the darkness that is growing around her like shield of power every day. There's been a blood feud going on between the two families for decades. After much persuasion, she finally gets him to confess: his family has practiced hoodoo for a long time, and Holt's family has stolen some very important books from his family. He's dark, and not just the color of his skin.Īs Holt and Dean's paths continue to cross, she can't help but notice the hatred he seems to hold toward her, in the same breath he can't seem to look away from each other. Because there's something that's just not quite right about Dean.
And those kids avoid him even more than they avoid Holt. While navigating the perils of moving to a new place and dealing with mean kids who look at her weird because her grandmother practices voodoo, her path crosses with Dean Wakefield. Instead of being a new adult, it was a young adult, and focused on a 17 year old girl named Holt who moves in with her grandmother after her parents disappear.
It was still set in Mississippi, but instead of being set in Silent Bend, it took place in two towns, Victory Bend and the small farming outskirt of Silent Fields.
