About this book
New Orleans is a city where ghosts linger and the veil between worlds is dangerously thin. Bastien Durand, a fallen angel walking the rain-slicked streets of the French Quarter, knows this better than anyone. As a supernatural investigator, he has spent over a century masking his immortality behind a veil of cynicism. But when ancient, dark magic begins to stir, the past he has fought to bury comes crashing into the present.
The catalyst is a brilliant, unsuspecting librarian who possesses eyes Bastien has been haunted by for lifetimes. Though she has no recollection of their shared history, she holds the key to unlocking secrets that could shatter the fragile balance of the city’s supernatural factions. As they are forced together, a tense enemies-to-lovers dynamic ignites, fueled by a slow-burn attraction that is as perilous as it is inevitable.
This atmospheric urban fantasy weaves a complex tapestry of historical intrigue and celestial stakes. For readers who crave sweeping, multi-century romances and moody paranormal mysteries, this story delivers a captivating look at love that refuses to die. Prepare to get lost in the shadows of Bourbon Street, where some curses are stronger than death and salvation carries a devastating price.

If you enjoy books that span centuries and you like trying to map out timelines while reading; this is so up your alley. Personally, I got a little lost in the back and forth and up and down of the book. Although, I do love the premise of a love that transcends all; even death. However, I felt my brain get a little jumbled. Though I will say that I love the way the characters are written and the way the supernaturals were portrayed like it was an everyday thing instead of a phenomenon. It might...

My goosebumps have goosebumps. After reading The Borrowed Saint I thought I was prepared for anything Curse in the Quarter threw at me. Wrong!!!

I didn't want to put it down. With every revelation, with ever paranormal creature, I sank deeper and deeper into the New Orleans underbelly. The veil is thinning....

A fallen angel and a love that spans lifetimes? Set in New Orleans? Witches, fae, vampires, werewolves, and all other manner of supernatural creatures? Well sign me up! (That's exactly what I did when I requested an advance copy of this). As a long time resident of New Orleans and native Louisianian, I'm very careful with books set in the place I call home and will be the first to complain about something anachronistic or out of place. While the Saenger never burned down, I'm able to accept...
