Is it really a hoodoo curse? Or is there something else that can explain the series of tragedies that dog Braeden McKay's every step after her best friend, Angeline St Cyr takes a nickel from the grave of a hoodoo woman in a New Orleans cemetery?

Braeden, children's book author and Angeline, supermodel are best friends. Braeden has accompanied Angeline to New Orleans for her friend's latest shoot. Then Braeden is mugged. And Angeline is involved in a car accident, though evidence sugg...more

Sharon Cupp Pennington's debut novel strikes it rich in Hoodoo Money. Love, culture, setting and a brilliantly crafted mystery plot make this a one-day, can't-set-it-down, page turner. With heroes to die for and evil lurking from all corners of New Orleans and Galveston, Hoodoo Money contains all the ingredients for a summer beach read or a cozy day in front of a fire. Either way, you won't put it down until the last page. I've read it, I own it, and I don't intend to let someone borrow it for f...more

Braeden McKay a popular children’s author and her friend, Angeline St. Cyr are in New Orleans. Unfortunately for Braeden being in New Orleans is not all fun as it is also a working vacation for Braeden. While out and about visiting different places in the Big Easy, Angeline takes a nickel from the grave of Simone Dubois, who was known for being a gypsy hoodoo woman. If only Braeden had known than what she knows now, she would have stopped Angeline from taking that coin. Ever since that day thing...more

Braeden and Angeline are in New Orleans on a working vacation when Angeline takes a souvenir nickel from the grave of a hoodoo gypsy. What follows next is a twisting and turning tale of murder and love.
This will keep you turning pages to get to the end, I sat up late to finish this one.

Braeden McKay travels to the Big Easy with her best childhood friend Angeline St. Cyr, a supermodel on location. After Angeline pockets a nickel from the grave of a hoodoo gypsy, all hell breaks loose. After she experiences a car accident, the loss of Angeline, and the threat of a stalker, a distraught Braeden meets detective Sanderson Montgomery, a man who believes her fears when no one else will. This tale is gripping. The author paints characters bigger than life and a story hard to put down....more

Recommends it for: Anyone who likes suspense,with a dash of romance!
Recommended to Shelley by: Amazon.com
I picked this book up at Amazon.com before I went on my summer vacation. Read it in 2 days! I do not want to give any plot spoilers but it was a very unique plot! I really love how the book started off with one of the main characters picking up a coin in a cemetary. I will think twice before I pick up loose coins on the road! Mystery, romance, friendships, and believable characters! I know the author is writing another book because she is my MOM!!

I've been reading so many paranormal books that I'd forgotten how much I enjoy a good romantic mystery novel. Picked this one up because I know of the author and I enjoy New Orleans storylines. I wasn't disappointed.

Like most writers, I always had a brain bursting with scenarios and a . . . drawer, shoebox, folder . . . of unfinished manuscripts. My first published story, "McTammany's Bed of Roses," appeared online in The Emporium Gazette, Issue 46, February 2003. With that sale, I earned enough to buy a novel in the paperback section at Wal-Mart or a couple of trade-ins at the local paperback swap-...more
