Lots and lots of murder.
If the title, Blood on the Bayou, didn't already give it away - please prepare for blood and murders. It was interesting enough since it's set in New Orleans and I had endless questions about the numerous murders. I didn't expect a novella to have so many dead bodies in it but this one definitely upped whatever I thought was going to be in it. Definitely was a page turner and I'm a teeny tiny bit intrigued to dive into the actual series.

Quick Thoughts: I am a huge Cafferty and Quinn fan. This was a good little mystery (yes I wanted more) and it had all the elements that make me a fan of this series! Natalie did a great job with the narration as always.

This was such an interesting read. I went into this opened minded. The blurb intrigued me enough, and I hadn't read the author before... And I love short novellas such as this. So why not take a chance? I am glad I did.
This was different, in a good way. It held my attention from the start to the finish, and for something so short, it held a lot. There was a plot that pulled me in from the beginning and gave me an amazing back story to this plot, with a lot of history behind it. Add in the supernatural feel to it. The suspense, the mystery and murders, and the characters were so enticing and had me second-guessing everything.
All in all, it was a fantastic, somewhat easy, but not to easy read. It was a fast pace suspense romance full of twists and turns. I honestly didn't know who to trust and didn't know who the villain was right up until they dropped the mask. I was on the edge of my seat.
Loved it. I will be reading more of this author's books, that is a given!
5 Stars!

This was a fabulous read!
It was like a Scooby-Doo mystery! Great background and history for the backdrop of the story. Interesting characters, and I didn't even have a clue who the bad guy was until they tore his mask off!
I love these little novella's!

Yeah, another story in this series! I really hope that this isn't the last instalment to this series, because it's really enjoyable, and I would love more!

Forgot to mark this finished the other day. This is really a 3.5. Shocked by how good this was considering I bought it for cheap. May actually have to read some of the other books in the series. Anyway, the supernatural elements worked well and the central romance was intriguing even if it was a little sparse here. (Totally understandable since this is a novella and most readers would already be aware of the history.)

Bodies have turned up in the swamps of Louisiana and the general public is convinced that the rougarou has come back to kill once again. It's up to Quinn and Danni, with the help of their supportive crew, to distinguish fact from legend and catch a killer. This story was creepy, mysterious, and a fast-paced whodunit.
Although it was pretty short, it was jam-packed with what are considered facts by the locals. Legends, myths, cultural phenomenon, whatever you want to call it, the author brought all of that to this story and I found it so intriguing. It added a certain spice to the story, that's for sure!
