Michael McDowell's Blackwater II: The Levee

Ok I’m my review of book one of this series, The Flood, I said I felt intrigued and kinda had an idea where this was going… I’m still intrigued but have NO clue what to expect. I’m really enjoying the familiar southern setting- minus the racist, problematic aspects that come with it- I especially felt warm and fuzzy when I read the part about Alabama business meetings taking place on porch swings or in the light of the moon. The southern aspects are doing a great job of making me feel comfortable, lowering my defenses, all the while something wicked is brewing. I haven’t the slightest idea what is happening. I remember in the first book texting my friends “this better not be mermaids” and a few chapters later “is it SIRENS??” and finally “OMG it’s a witch!!!” I still have no clue if I was right and I love it. I’m so excited that there are 4 more books. See you in the next review!!
