An undead serial killer comes for DJ in this thrilling third installment of Suzanne Johnson?s Sentinels of New Orleans series

The mer feud has been settled, but life in South Louisiana still has more twists and turns than the muddy Mississippi.

New Orleanians are under attack from a copycat killer mimicking the crimes of a 1918 serial murderer known as the Axeman of New Orleans. Thanks to a tip from the undead pirate Jean Lafitte, DJ Jaco knows the attacks aren?t random?an unknown necromancer has resurrected the original Axeman of New Orleans, and his ultimate target is a certain blonde wizard. Namely, DJ.

Combatting an undead serial killer as troubles pile up around her isn?t easy. Jake Warin?s loup-garou nature is spiraling downward, enigmatic neighbor Quince Randolph is acting weirder than ever, the Elders are insisting on lessons in elven magic from the world?s most annoying wizard, and former partner Alex Warin just turned up on DJ?s to-do list. Not to mention big maneuvers are afoot in the halls of preternatural power.

Suddenly, moving to the Beyond as Jean Lafitte?s pirate wench could be DJ?s best option

Elysian Fields is the 3rd book in the Sentinels of New Orleans series by Suzanne Johnson and I love the world she has created. Honestly DJ (Drusila Jaco) reminds me a female version of Harry Dresden.  She is just doing her thing and the shit just keeps hitting that effin fan!  The drama stalks her, surrounds her, and uproots her at every turn!  Yet, even in these dark hours she keeps putting one foot in front of the other.  I love this about her character.

The world building in the Sentinels of New Orleans series just keeps getting better.  More layers are added into every new addition of this series and they fit together seamlessly.   DJ’s love life always seems overly complicated with not much action.  I have a feeling this is what she would say about it as well!  LOL  I highly recommend you read the first two books in this series before attempting Elysian Field s – although it does have a complete story.

With the combination of great character and world building in Elysian Fields I recommend this book highly to lovers of Urban Fantasy.  The New Orleans setting and vast array of characters will leave you wanting more!

I rate Elysian Fields 4.5 out of 5 Bullets!
