Book Synopsis:
"London was on the hunt. Her intention was to kill.
London De La Motte is not a believer in religion or religiosity. She never found a use for it, considering her troubled past and no place for it in her life as a private investigator. An encounter with a statue in a historic Catholic Church sets London on a path of psychic vision and vigilante justice; righting injustices from the past and present. What she didn’t know is that her brush with Saint Cecilia’s graven image was far from accidental. It was destiny; conjured by Mama Bah, a voodoo high priestess some twenty-five years before. London’s world is rocked by this newfound giftedness. The question is, what will she do when the past and present come crashing down around her."

Review:
"Midnight: Tales of a Blackened Soul" by Deidra D.S. Green
My Rationalization:
This story will keep your attention from the first chapter until the very end. Let me not leave out the Prelude because being a dark color I could only amaze those very same words being thrown out! Moving on...Life in New Orleans...with Mama Bah Twenty-five years ago...now who was she and what makes her so important in this story?
As you read from "Midnight" the story will go back and forth...from past to present so you will have to keep up!
We finally meet up with our heroine London De La Motte "who is on the hunt and her intention was to kill." Now, why was this?
I find London a very intriguing person in that she knew exactly what she was and wanted in her life. She wasn't a 'believer in religion or religiosity." And as a private investigation, she saw no place in her life for any of it. However, after a friend had died she goes to her funeral and there London will be set on a path of some "psychic visions and vigilante justice; to right injustices from the past and present." How will this historic Catholic Church with Saint Cecilia's given image" have to do with all of this? This is where this novel will gets even more interesting because we will now see what Mama Bah [a voodoo high priestess] had to do with all of this that had happened some 25 years ago as Nephtalie is brought into the story.
I love London's interaction with her boss [Butch] of Reynold's Investigations. From the visions how will London handle it from Michael Ames, Harrison Waites, and Diamond missing? Now, that London's boss has hired another investigator Lance Billups in the office how will London be able to handle things she needs to get done? Will she be able to trust Lance?
What will happen when London realizes more about the gift that had been given to her as she talks with Saint Cecilia and Sister Mina?
I am trying not to tell too much more so I will stop and just say you will have to pick up "Midnight" to see how well this author delivers this story to the reader and then there is, even more, to come from this story due to this novel being a cliffhanger and the first in this series of 'Tales of the Blackened Soul.' Up next we will get even more of London's story and the introduction of Sable. Yes, I would recommend this read.
