Book Description

August 16, 2005
Maiden of Orleans: a Bayou Thriller is a fast-paced novel that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. 19-year-old Lori Faire lives with her mother and sister in a cottage on the Rasten estate where Lori’s father had been employed before his “accidental” death.

When the wealthy and sinister Henri Rasten attempts to force Lori to marry him, she decides to make her escape. Lori is helped by Mikhail Xavier, who proves himself to be a powerful defender.

Mikhail and Lori struggle together against Henri and his assistant, Oliver Paisley, a mysterious man deeply involved with the occult.

With Mikhail at her side, Lori is relentlessly pursued through New Orleans, the Louisiana Bayou, and out onto the Gulf of Mexico. Even a Halloween masquerade becomes a place of the utmost danger.

Will Lori ever be safe? Will she and Mikhail fall in love?

This romantic suspense novel presents an exciting battle between the forces of good and evil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Novel, November 9, 2005
This review is from: Maiden of Orleans: A Bayou Thriller (Paperback)
This is one of the best books that I have read this year, and I read a lot of books! There is a lot of witty dialogue between Lori and Mikhail, the two main characters. I liked them so much that I was constantly worried about what was going to happen to them. The story is very exciting. I could hardly put the book down! I read the entire novel in two evenings!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised, October 27, 2006
This review is from: Maiden of Orleans: A Bayou Thriller (Paperback)
I definitely wasn't expecting a Christian story of good v.s. evil when I picked this book up, but I got a Christian story, nonetheless. Well, to be more precise, I got a Catholic story. At it's base level, this book is a story of a "good Catholic boy" (direct quote from the book) named Mikhail, who is pitted against a voodoo priest, named Henri, with an innocent girl as the prize. The voodoo priest has been told by a "seer" that he has to marry the girl or die. Of course, the girl, Lori, isn't too keen on the idea of marrying a man who dabbles in the occult and who made his fortune in drugs. When she uses a jet ski to escape from Henri, she almost drowns and is rescued by the kind-hearted Mikhail. After Lori's mother and sister are kidnapped, Mikhail, Lori and a group of friends infiltrate Henri's mansion during a Halloween party to save them.

The heroes in this book are endearing and the villains are unmistakeably evil. An interesting point was that Henri's voodoo priest friend, Oliver, is unable to use his powers on Mikhail, presumably because of his faith.

Although it is good to see a book where Christianity overcomes occultic influences, I must comment on the fact that this book never mentions God or Jesus as the power behind the characters' faiths. They consistently put Saints such as Joan of Arc in that role. Also, there are some places were the POV changes between characters a bit too much, sometimes in the middle of conversations.

Overall, the book is a pretty good-and fast-read.
