Witches of Bourbon Street by Deanna Chase is a 2013 Bayou Moon Publishing release. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This second book in the Jade Calhoun series has Jade discovering that no matter how hard she tries, she can no longer run from her paranormal abilities. When a group of portraits shows up at the club owned by her boyfriend, Kane, Jade has a reaction to them which gives her the idea her mother, who disappeared ages ago, could be trapped in one of the portraits. Not only that, Bea, Jade's mentor is ill and only Jade can help her, and Dan, her ex-boyfriend is exhibiting signs of a possession. This is a fast paced adventure for Jade and her boyfriend and all the other colorful cast of characters. Trapped spirits, black magic, demons, and a rogue angel all play a role in Jade's uncovering the mystery of her mother's disappearance. The situation with Bea will open the door for Jade that she has fought tooth and nail to keep firmly closed. But, there are just some things about ourselves that we just can't ignore no matter how badly we may wish to. The only problem I had with this installment was that at times it got a little too “busy” . Too many characters were involved at one time, causing me to have to really slow down and pay attention to what each one was up to so I didn't miss something important. All of the loose ends were tied up except for one and I believe we will have to wait to see how that all pans out in the future, but we do know Jade's life will take on a new dimension from here on out. Book three is sure to be very interesting indeed. 3.5 rounded to 4 "My mother mysteriously disappearead. I have this terrible gift. My ex is bound to a witch and the pair of them kidnapped me for any number of unknown reasons. My boyfriend was making out with a so-called-angel bitch. And a spirit trapped in a ridiculous papier-maché portrait, claims if I set her free, she can lead me to my mother."Jade's words at one point summarize what's going on in this book. But there's more.Sadly, this book didn't appeal to me as much as the previous one. I'm not a big fan of witches and spells and this book had a lot of both. However, it doesn't mean I'm not interested in the series anymore.
