Blood on the Bayou (Annabelle Lee, #2) in SOS: Serious Overload of Series

Aug 22, 2012 Christal rated it really liked it

I wasn't completely sold on Annabelle in Dead on the Delta, but this book has changed that! Annabelle was much more nuanced and self-actualized here than she was previously. She was kicking ass through the whole book. I really enjoyed the mystery and some of the closure aspects that were presented. I didn't enjoy the way the book ended, especially if Stacey Jaye won't be writing another. I have to know what happens to Gimpy!

Annabelle & Hitch - I liked that she finalized things with Hitch and tol I wasn't completely sold on Annabelle in Dead on the Delta, but this book has changed that!

Annabelle & Hitch - I liked that she finalized things with Hitch and told him what really happened before they broke up. I'm glad that he realized he was a d-bag and even better, that Annabelle realized he should have given her the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions. Sharing the guilt FTW! She realizes that she could still love him and their time together without being in love with him. It was a good conclusion to their situation.

Annabelle & Cane - I like Annabelle and Cane together, but I feel like their futures just don't match up. They are each very hard-headed but, even though they care for each other, I think it is time to throw in the towel and find more compatible partners. Such as...

Annabelle & Tucker - I liked that we found out so much more about Tucker in this book. He was my favorite of the three guys and I think him and Annabelle are good together. (view spoiler)

As I previously mentioned, the mystery this time around was very good and it involved a lot of the major players in Louisiana. I liked how twisty it was; you were left guessing the whole time.

The ending of this novel is particularly painful because so many loose threads are being dangled around for future books, but we might not get those books. Things like how the fairies really came to be, what the Gentry are, why Annabelle can talk to the fairies, what she and Tucker are going to do after leaving Donaldson... it's all left open. I really hope that there is another book in this series. Based on my feelings between the first book and this one, I expect that it would be the best in the series. Please Pocket Books, let us have another Annabelle Lee book! ...more

4.75/5

I could not put this book down. Every time I tried I would get to a spot that just demanded my attention..lol I think this series just keeps getting better and better and I can't wait to find out what is going to happen next!!

As far as the love triangle goes Hitch had my heart from the start but Tucker just came in and stole it from him in this book so I am curious to see how that plays out. ...more
