Detective Sept Savoie is a cop who thinks making a relationship work is harder than catching a serial killer, but her current case may prove her wrong.
Six months after Hurricane Katrina has devastated most of New Orleans, Detective Sept Savoie is battling the nightmare of everything the storm has taken from her when a brutalized body turns up behind one of New Orleans's most famous restaurants, run by Keegan Blanchard. The more Sept works through the clues, the more they point to Keegan, making the relationship growing between them anything but love at first sight. The first death, though, is only the beginning as the miles of deserted neighborhoods Katrina left behind provide the perfect stage for murder.

Summary: Great read!
Comment: While all of Ali Valli's books are great reads, this one kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Everytime I thought I knew whodunnit, I was constantly proven wrong. It wasn't until the very end that I learned who the murderer was, and it was never who I thought. Her characters are well developed, the subject matter thoroughly researched, and the dialogue believable. If you like mysteriers and romance, Calling the Dead has it all.

Summary: Another Winner by Ali Vali - Murder and Mayhem
Comment: Calling The Dead is the latest release by author Ali Vali. This is the beginning of a new series and it's off to a great start. This is a romantic intrigue lesfic book, one that is a departure from Ali's "Devil" series in that the main character is a cop, Sept Savoie who's focus is bringing the "bad guy" to justice. She meets and falls for a woman who we hope will figure strongly in the future books of this series, Keegan Blanchard, a chef and part of a family dynasty in New Orleans.
If memory serves me correctly, Sept Savoie did make a cameo appearance in the last "Devil" book, Deal with the Devil, which serves as a nice segue into this new series. It's clear to me that Casey, from the Devil series would get along great with Sept.
This book is darker than the other books that Ali Vali has written, with some hard-to-read scenes. However, those scenes are important for the story and the connection with the Santeria religion. Santeria is the religion that some people refer to as "voodoo".
I love how Ali Vali brings her love of the city of New Orleans into her books. It's clear that she has a passion for the city when you read her books and get a feel for the culture of New Orleans and the French Quarter.
I recommend this book. If you are like me, hungerly waiting for her next "Devil" book to be released, you'll find that you now have 2 series that you are invested in. This new "Sept Savoie" series figures to be a great one. Enjoy it!
