About this listen
Dying sucks. She's done it twice. Three times is not a charm!
Gwen Carter is pissed.
After gaining a second magical disability, the last thing she needs is a summons to her hometown of freaking Hoodoo, Texas. After accepting an inheritance too complicated to refuse, it goes from bad to "oh crap" when she witnesses a horrifying murder by black magic.
As Gwen climbs higher on the suspect list, she’s terrified that she has yet to break the family curse.
Will Gwen be able to prove that the current murders are connected to the one that drove her from her beloved home in shame, or will she lose not only her life but the family legacy?
Return to Hoodoo is the hilarious first book of the Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, a paranormal women’s fiction series. If you like a dash of romance with your bawdy broads and nutty friends and family, then you’ll love Reggi Dupree’s captivating supernatural thriller.
It’s never too late to embrace your magic. Download Return to Hoodoo today.

Story
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Stormy “Breeze” Morgan was living the high life until her dreams came crashing down around her and she lost her book contract. With nothing left to do—and no money in her bank account—she’s forced to return to the family business, a diner in Northern Lower Michigan. Stormy never thought she would have to work with her family again, and it’s just as horrific as she expected. Things only get worse when, after a night of drinking with her cousin, a family Ouija board leads to a burst of magic and Stormy wakes floating over her bed the next morning.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

I really had a good time
I really enjoyed my introduction to Gwen and Hoodoo. It’s great to have a main character who is black and ‘middle aged’ and not just a footnote in an unimaginative story.

Secrets and magic, and magical secrets.
Gwen left Hoodoo behind decades ago, and for good reason, but her hometown is drawing her back in, and this time, it doesn't want to let her go.
The first book in the series carries on in the same way as the prequel. It's not necessary to read the prequel first, but it definitely adds depth to the story. Ash is mysterious, but finally gives up some secrets. Sheriff Carlos and his deputies — ugh! Gwen takes no prisoners. She's snarky, sassy, and smart. It's refreshing to see a strong woman doing things for herself. She has a lot of family secrets and outside drama heaped on her, but she insists on doing things her way.
Ruthie Bowles does another fabulous job of channeling Gwen.
I hope Gwen has more adventures coming soon.

Black Magic and Mayhem
Gwen Carter has died twice and is down right tired of dying. With her new inheritance she finds herself back in the family home. Hoodoo Texas, a place that ran her off has brought her back. The black magic, ghosts and murder will keep Gwen on her toes as she tries to break the family curse. She is older now but can she prove her innocence and catch the true murderer? No spoilers here. However, this author is new to me and I love his writing skills. The audible version puts you into this story. The laughter and snarky-ness of the characters will bring you back for more. The story is fast paced and easy to follow. But make no mistake you will want to read more from this series. I am looking forward to reading more from this author as well as this series.

great audio
This is my first audible by this author which I enjoyed listening to. I look forward to the next book in this series. I enjoyed how the narrator pulled me into the story using different tones throughout. This is a fun, entertaining story that has a little bit of everything in it. An engaging story where the characters are relatable and will keep you engaged throughout the story. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the start and had to find out what happened next. A story that will make you laugh and have you sitting on the edge of your seat the next minute. Is three times a charm really all that lucky? You don’t want to miss this one! This is great audio and I highly recommend it.

Enthralling magical journey
This audio book was just amazing. Listened in one sitting as I could not turn it off. Oh yes, slack of sleep last night. Well worth it. The narration made the characters come to life for me. Exploding off the page.
This was the first book I have read/listened to from this author and I will most certainly be looking for more.
Gwen is finally back home after being guilty in public opinion of murder. She is hated and treated with disdain. Her plan was to go home to Hoodoo to sign papers and leave. Gwens’ luck is never good and she finds herself again suspected of murder. What the heck is it about this town? No one can be trusted and I mean no one. This was such a wonderful ride with the sassy, don’t mess with me or you will get a tongue lashing main character. Loved loved her attitude, even when she speaks without thinking.
Need to go searching for book 2.

Realistic fantasy with a great narrator!
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book cover to cover! Gwen shows up and shows out in every chapter in this book. I love the narrator, her voice gives me incredible vibes of the south while listening to it. With every page turn I became more and more comfortable with everything that Gwen faces, and saw my thought process. Gwen gets a haunted house, a ghost, and accusations of murder all in the beginning of the book! I didn't want to put it down and neither will you! I think I need to purchase the hard back of this one ASAP!

Sassy and Confident
I really enjoyed this book and the narrator was perfect in capturing Gwendolyn. I'm a sucker for strong fierce women and this book did not disappoint. Gwendolyn went many years avoiding her hometown until she is called back to her family home. From the beginning things are not going well and there seems to be a black cloud that is following her after several murders begin to occur shortly after her arrival. This was a book that thoroughly showed that that not all things are as they seem. Couple with the sassiness and humor of Gwendolyn this makes for a fun read.

Supernatural Texas
Return to Hoodoo is a must-read/ listen to! Gwen is a kick-ass main character that is very down-to-earth. She goes back to her hometown of Hoodoo, Texas due to an inheritance that she cannot say no to. The story is new and exciting as more is revealed about the town of Hoodoo and the main character Gwen. She is relatable as a woman who is fascinated with sexy men and Bourbon.
I was hooked by the first descriptions of the main character Gwen when remarking on herself. The narration is absolutely perfect; all the voices and inner monologues are done extremely well. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook.
