Review; La Petite Mort by Olivia Blake

Earlier this year, I read the paranormal novella La Petite Mort by Olivia Blake and today I'll post my review of the book.

Description from Goodreads

After the death of her estranged grandmother, Marisa Marrero finds herself bequeathed a surprising inheritance: a house in the New Orleans French Quarter, left to her with a variety of bizarre conditions attached. Among the surprising consequences of Marisa's acceptance is a friendship with a man called Jack St. Germaine, an alleged alchemist who may or may not be hiding a questionable history, and a series of encounters with Elisabeth Clavier, a vampire known for hunting mortals for sport. As Marisa struggles with who to trust, she leans towards Jack, especially after a demon arrives at her doorstep claiming Elisabeth was the one who sent him. But when Marisa's power grows and Jack can no longer provide her answers, a night with Elisabeth leaves Marisa wondering if she made the right choice.

This novella was originally published in Witch Way Magazine. It is a love letter to the vampire culture that is healthy and active in the crescent city.

My Thoughts on the Book

While it was a fun read, I wish it was a full-length novel instead of a novella and I felt the end was a bit abrupt. Several of the characters were interesting though, especially with some of the backstory.
