My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the series which I didn’t initially realise as it can be read as a standalone. I’ve read some other books by the author, so I was really looking forward to reading this one. It did not disappoint.

As usual I enjoyed the writing style used, it added to my enjoyment in reading. The story had me hooked, now I’m not usually one to go for love triangles as I feel they’re a bit over-done, but it was done well and, in the plot, it worked.

There’s darkness, suspense and mystery which I thrive on when reading so this was a great book for me. I’ll be going back to read the first in the series and impatiently wait for another!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stalked by the Devil is part of the To Kiss a Stalker Series. It is a fast-paced romantic suspense that centers around the story of Melody, her sister Sahara, and Sahara’s billionaire boyfriend Keith. Melody is unemployed and living with her successful, supermodel sister Sahara. Sahara is dating billionaire Keith and is hopelessly in love with him, but Melody hates him and is convinced there is something sinister lurking under Keith’s charming exterior. Melody is determined to find out the truth behind Keith’s charming façade and prove that he is not a good person and is not the man her sister thinks that he is. Danger lurks in the shadows as Melody tries to prove who Keith really is and neither of the sisters may be safe when Sahara gets a stalker.

This was a fast-paced, intense, and captivating storyline with characters that are instantly relatable and engaging. Melody has the best interests of her sister at heart even though it is hard for Sahara to see. There is a history between them that involves meddling in past relationships, so this plays a factor in how Sahara treats Melody when Melody tells her that she does not like or trust Keith. Keith is someone that you instantly dislike because he comes across as slimy, manipulative, condescending, and arrogant. The author did a great job of building the suspense and mystery in this book as we learn who we can or cannot trust. The twists and turns that will grab your attention and keep you reading to find out what happens next. This book had romance, action, danger, mystery, stalking, and obsession.

This author certainly knows how to write a book that will grab your attention. This book is fact paced and edgy. It is the kind of book you have to read quickly because you n want to see how it will turn out. I loved the characters and the dynamic between them all. Each really added something to the story. Although i only discovered this author recently, I have really come to enjoy her work. This is a great book that is worth the read.

Thrilling
All is not what it seems in this twisted story. Melody has so many things going on and add in a possible evil stalker, what’s a girl to do? I really enjoyed this story and was glued from start to finish. I have read a few books from this author and I enjoy the writing style. This book has romance, mystery, a billionaire and even a love triangle. Recommend.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 4 Stars

I never hesitate to pick up any book from this author ever….and I really liked the suspense of this story and just when I had it all figured out…I did not have every piece. This story is fast paced and really draws you in.

What happens when one sister constantly meddles in her other sisters love life? That is what happens when Melody totally despises her sister, Sahara’s boyfriend Keith. Call it sister intuition of sorts, but Melody will do anything to prove to Sahara that her boyfriend is nothing but trouble. When a stalker comes into play for Sahara’s affections and lies upon lies are spun in many webs….Will Melody and Sahara be safe?

This is a well written romantic suspense that had me guessing. Highly Recommended if you love suspense, danger, lies, twists and turns!

“Fear is the name of his game…”
Stalked By the Devil is the second book in the To Kiss A Stalker series by Stacy Deanne. This is a gripping story with intrigue, drama, mystery, BWWM, angst, obsession, stalking, tension, and danger.
This is the second book in the series, but it can be read as a standalone, but having said that, I am interested to see what might have happened in the first book, so. I will be going back to explore it and find out what it was all about.
The story was quite gripping and a little dark and intense at times, with a bit of a ‘mystery’ to unravel. I enjoyed to dramatic developments- and the tension that Stacy-Deanne injected into her story.
Looking forward to exploring more of Stacy Deanne’s books…

Thank you, Stacy-Deanne!

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. This is an author that writes with a lot of heart and soul. Her characters pop off the pages and into your world. This book is no different. This is a well written story where the author used details to make the story realistic. A fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. This is a romance story that has much going on in it. I felt that the author did a great job of not getting me confused with the characters. I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry throughout the story. They add to the entertainment value of the story which makes it easy to read. This is a great romance story that I highly recommend

Stalked by the Devil by Stacy-Deanne is another thriller story in the To Kiss a Stalker series where the MCs are BWWM. Stacy-Deanne’s stories are fast paced and this one is no different.
It is full of suspense, intrigue, thrills and mayhem, crazy and a little darkness. Some things were a little predictable but overall, it was an interesting and enjoyable read. This will keep you on your toes at times.

I wonder what is next from Stacy-Deanne.

This is a fantastic romantic suspense. The Devil may come in any form, male or female. This story kept me in suspense as to who the true guilty party was. The characters run the gamut from sweet to sleazy and, man, I loved every one of them. The storyline had it’s moments but if you love romantic suspense, this is the one for you. Lovers of steam will be overjoyed at the touch of steam in this one also. Romance, suspense and drama abound. Will family and long awaited love win? You’ll have to read to find out.

Fear is the name of his game.

 Nothing’s going right in Melody Carter’s life right now. She’s broke, unemployed, and living in the shadow of her successful fashion-model sister Sahara. But that ain’t even the half of Melody’s problems, the biggest one is Keith Taylor, Sahara’s new boyfriend who’s slowly worming his way into the sisters’ lives.

 Keith’s perfect to everyone else: successful, gorgeous, and at 35 he’s the co-CEO of his family’s billion-dollar company. But Melody feels she has every reason to hate him from his arrogance, his controlling ways, and how every woman he’s had a relationship with seems to disappear.

While everyone else seems blinded by the silver-tongued bachelor, Melody will do anything in her power to prove that Keith is the devil himself.

This one is the first book by Reggi Depree that I have read. I’m glad I picked this book up because it was hard to put down. I was born in Texas so I could relate to this one. The characters were easy to relate to and easy to follow. Gwen is smart, funny, and fearless most of the time. I can’t wait to get the next book.

Adventurous, creative, quirky
Return to Hoodoo is a paranormal mystery that is engaging, quirky and full of crazy fun. This is a well written ghostly adventure that has witches, vampires, demons, magic and even a haunted house. I love the maturity of Gwen and her confidence. There is a cliffy so I will be keeping an eye out for the next book so I can go back to the antics of Azure House. Recommend.

This is an amazing and hilarious book! If you love supernatural, paranormal, romance with a dash of southern, this is the book for you!

I enjoyed this book so much! All of the characters are absolutely delightful, they have snark, they are hilarious, they will keep you on your toes. The dialogue was EVERYTHING! The story was suspenseful enough to keep your interest while also keeping it fast paced and lighthearted.

My favorite part of this story is that Gwen, is midlife. So we get to see her past, present and future, as well as how some of those choices impacted others. She has more depth, experience, and balance than her younger self, as we all do when we get other. It was very relatable and refreshing.

I wish there was more in depth information on the haunted house, I.e. the hidden passages etc. I understand why they are left out but I miss them all the same. This book is so captivating I was able to read it in about 10 hours. I loved this book and all the magic and different takes on all things otherworldly. I will definitely be reading more of Reggie’s books and I can’t wait to find out what happens with Gwen and Ash!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The title drew me to this one and upon reading the blurb, I knew this was the book for me.
This is the first book in the series and contains plenty of supernaturals, magic and mystery. Since reading I’ve learnt that there is a prequel so I’m disappointed that I didn’t get the full background, but that’s my own fault for not checking. The author does provide enough information to understand the characters and events for me not to had realised until after. But with how much I enjoy this book, I’ll be reading the novella next!

I was hooked reading this, it’s amusing and engaging, and the characters are great.
The descriptive writing flows well, creating vivid imagery, making it easier to consume and made the book far more enjoyable. Not only was the scenery/setting written well, but the characters were also brilliant.

Gwen was so lovable. She’s been through so much and still holding it together as she makes her way through all the danger and relationships. She’s sassy (which I love) and relatable, but her approach to what she faces as she fights through the hardships is admirable and that’s what I love about her most.

I cannot wait to read more from this series, I’m impatient for the next book and I haven’t even gone back to read the prequel yet!

Gwen has just returned to her hometown of Hoodoo to collect on an inheritance. Her plan is to only remain long enough to sign papers and leave again. For Gwen, Hoodoo holds nothing, but painful memories and she just wants to put the past behind her and leave town as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, things do not go as she had planned when she discovers that there are strings attached to collecting on the inheritance that require her remaining longer than intended. As if that is not enough to deal with, Gwen witnesses a murder and because of her past and subsequent reputation around town she becomes the prime suspect.

I absolutely loved this book and the author’s writing style which really drew me into the story. Not only were the scenes vividly described but the dialogue was brilliant and cracked me up more than once. The characters were ones that I was drawn to, especially Gwen. She was down-to-earth, unstoppable, funny, witty, real, raw, and did not take nonsense from anyone. Gwen is someone that I could easily find myself wanting to hang out with. The town of Hoodoo fascinated me with the fact that it was full of ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and witches. I want to take a trip there to explore the supernatural, starting with the house Gwen inherited. Absolutely amazing book and brilliant writing!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is classified as Paranormal Women’s Fiction, which is an amazing genre that you should definitely check out if you haven’t already.

I am in love with Reggi Dupree’s fast-paced, no-nonsense, creative writing style. Her style along with her satirical character’s personalities and clever dialogue remind me a lot of my favorite author, Daryanda Jones.

The main character, Gwen Carter, is a middle-aged woman of color who is as real as they come and truly a breath of fresh air. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Gwen must return to her hometown that she fled from years earlier. Hoodoo, her hometown, makes her feel abnormal in a town full of odd balls. It’s here that Gwen questions what she is? Who can she trust? How does she deal with the prejudices people believe about her past? She, along with a wonderful cast of diverse secondary characters, search for these answers and more. I can’t wait for the rest of this series, and honestly I plan on reading anything Reggi Dupree writes as she’s an amazing lyrical wizard.

I cannot explain the fullness I felt after reading Reggi Dupree’s Return to Hoodoo. She ticked off every box and exceeded every expectation I had for this book. Her characters are well-developed, multidimensional, and just full of life and her plot line is the same. I cannot wait for the next installment to see where Dupree takes Gwen and everyone else. I cannot recommend this book enough!

This is the first book in the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue series. This looks like it is going to be a fun series to read. It is full of adventure, mystery, danger, supernatural beings and magic.
I really enjoyed this story, I loved Gwen’s character. She is very strong and sassy and after everything she has been through you can understand why she is the way she is. The only downside for me was that I didn’t realise there was a prequel before this story which would have explained the backstory to Gwen, however i will be going back to read this book and the prequel again before book 2.
This story is definately a page turner with secrets being revealed and danger along the way. Gwens world is very entertaining with a strange family and all the other creatures only normally found in stories she has a lot to navigate. This story leaves you wanting more and I cant wait for the next book.

The title of this book grabbed my attention right away. Also I’m a huge fan of all things paranormal, so I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled that I quickly became hooked with this story. This book has everything: snarky wit, vampires, witches, inheritance drama, a haunted mansion, werewolves, and a good old mystery.

Gwen Carter is the main character and I gotta say I love her sass. She returns to her hometown much to her chagrin, due to a mysterious inheritance matter. While trying to minimize her stay, she has another run of bad luck, as she witnesses a horrific murder. To make matters worse, she is a possible suspect. She deals with obstacles, sarcasm, ghosts, a handsome ex, and all things paranormal in this book.

This is my first time reading a book from this author and I enjoyed it. I think the main character is easily relatable to most readers and who doesn’t love a strong leading lady? You definitely get the feeling that if you knew her in real life, she would tell you how it is, straight forward, no BS but would never lie and act like she knows everything.

I enjoyed reading a fantastic story with a diverse set of characters and a beautiful atmosphere. I can’t wait to read something, anything else from the author.

I loved this book! The characters are intriguing and vibrant. The world building is good. The only thing that could have been better is having some of the backstory fleshed out a bit more. But even so, I was so into the story that I kept turning the pages. The snark, sass, and witty banter throughout the book is amazing.
The author wrote a phenomenal main character in Gwen. She’s real and gritty. She’s tough, but deep down, she cares. It’s a great balance of strong and soft.
Ash… swoon. I need more Ash!
And that ending. Why is the next book not out yet, lol???
Overall, a stellar read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy wow. So, this is the first book I have read by the incredible Reggi Dupree, and I am so sad it took me six months to find this gem. This is by far one of my favorite books of the year. Gwendolyn Carter is the last member of her matriarchal bloodline. While that could be viewed as a good thing to some considering the stunning house and fortune to change her entire life, Gwen is not an average person.
Forty-fifth birthday, the curse that had claimed the lives of every woman in her bloodline at a young age was rumored to end if you made it past your forty-fifth birthday alive. Only she is shot in the back and killed but she’s from Hoodoo, Texas and death isn’t one of those black and white finalities. Twenty-seven years ago, at the age of eighteen Gwen had been forced out of her hometown, accused of murdering one of her best friends. Now summoned back for a mysterious inheritance and a promise to her mother after he second death, to return to Hoodoo and find answers. Twelve hours, that’s how long she allotted to being back in the town that threw her away nearly three decades earlier. A catch to keep her legacy intact leads to her having to live in the family home for six months to receive her inheritance, seems simple enough, right? Her first love Carlos, who betrayed her, is now the sheriff. The man Ash that she met just before she was shot suddenly appears in Hoodoo. Duncan her best friend that forced her into a blood vow to keep his dark secrets, whose lies written in his journal led to her being accused of murder and ran out of town haunts her everyday since his death when they were eighteen. He warns her that he wasn’t the only one lying to her back then that she needs to know the truth to protect herself, and now the evil has returned and is near his sister Rita and his mom. Needing her help, he begs for her to listen if afterwards she’s done with him, he will leave her alone for good if she listens.
Carlos warns her that Ash isn’t what he claims, but what is he? Her new home holds the history of her family, but will she survive long enough to discover its truths? What is “the Evil” and why is it back? The world the author creates sucks you in, with its wonder, mystery, and humor. While the cover drew me in, making me curious about the boots, the synopsis had me ready to jump into the pages and discover the truth for myself. From start to finish this book keeps you on your toes and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this amazing series, Conjure Ink. Also, I am going to have to go back and read the novella Hoodoo Heaven, the prequel of Return to Hoodoo, when she meets Ash.

A snarky, incredible, remarkable and powerful leading lady. A great setting and one heck of an amazing storyline. What more could the reader ask for? This book was equal parts fantasy and mystery (and sass from our main character, Gwen). It gave the sense of slowly sucking you in until you were so enthralled you couldn’t put it down. This is definitely worth the read!

Gwen Carter is asked to return to Hoodoo Texas to claim her inheritance, however it involved more than signing papers during an overnight trip but rather her staying in the family house. It is bad enough that she can see ghosts and communicate with the dead especially at the most inopportune times, but now she has another gift that she must get accustomed to using. Hoodoo is not the typical friendly down home Texas town, Oh No! It is filled with paranormal creatures and witches that run the entire town. How can Gwen even think about returning to her hometown after being driven away for a crime she did not commit? Are the deaths that are currently taking place in town related to the crime in the past she was accused of? Will she learn more about her past and grow into her gifts or throw her hands up and walk away? Wonderful main character so full of sass and fire! I just adore Gwen as she moves headstrong into her inheritance and cannot wait for more! The story was easy to read and kept me turning pages as fast as I could. The excitement doesn’t give up from page one to the end and is such a fun read. It was so easy to visualize the characters and the town. A definite must read!

Such a fun read. The characters were fun, especially Gwen. The story had a good flow which made it an easy read. I enjoyed the snark, and found myself smiling throughout the book. It ended with questions unanswered, so I am looking forward to reading the next book. I typically don’t like the cliffhanger style, but I did like this one.
