Kristi Charish is a new-to-me author, and one I am happy to have found. I am always looking for more talent in the realm of urban fantasy, and the Kincaid Strange series has definitely piqued my interest.

Our heroine is Kincaid Strange, a 27 year old voodoo practitioner living in the heart of Seattle. But now that she is no longer allowed to be a paranormal consultant to the local police department, Kincaid is having to make ends meet by doing seances for frat parties. So dealing with a random rogue zombie was not on Kincaid's radar, and she has to babysit this new obligation while trying to discover the culprit behind a slew of voodoo murders. She will have some help from her ghostly roommate, Nate. And a bit of obstruction and meddling, and maybe a little kissing action, from her ex-partner and ex-boyfriend, Aaron, who is a detective with the paranormal division of the PD.

I liked Kincaid as a heroine. Despite being immersed in the world of the paranormal, Kincaid is more down-to-earth and relatable that we would see in a kickass heroine. She is a bit bumbling and gets herself into sticky situations, but she still manages to come out on top without knowing jiu jitsu or how to handle a weapon. I also liked the various paranormal creatures and characters, from zombies to ghosts to practitioners, and I am interested to see what other characters we may see as the series progresses. But most importantly, I can't wait to see what is going to happen between Aaron and Kincaid. Is their relationship doomed, will we see more undeniable chemistry in the future.

Up next for me is Lipstick Voodoo, the second installment of this promising series. So stay tuned!
