Headmistress Erzulie has evoked the Voodoo Trials. A new High Hougan or Mambo must be chosen to unite the Academy’s five colleges. But when Annabelle … Academy’s five colleges. But when Annabelle discovers the true purpose of the Trials she must make an impossible choice—either compete to win, and divide Vilokan further, or risk unleashing an evil that will destroy the Voodoo world from within.
Death Rites is the third book in the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy series.

Good Voodoo bad Voodoo all roads lead to Kalfu and everybody is ready to blame Annabelle i mean so everything started to go to crap when she had her first run in with Kalfu but really it was bound to happen everybody wants power and someone is obviously helping Kalfu. And that’s only part of the problem the trials the emotional upheaval so who will win who will become the Mombo queen who will come out on top.
I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.
The book will keep you reading. WE have action, suspense, and more. We learn more about the Loas, vampires and more about her parents. This book would not be good with out Paulie, got to love his character. Annabelle would not be the same without him. Now we are going into trials, but will Annabelle be able to win to stop the headmistress. Can she save everyone? Who can she really trust? You do need to read the books before this one to really understand what is going on. So get the series and enjoy.

This is the third installment in the Gates of Eden: Voodoo Legacy series and it is every bit as good as the first two. The characters are complex and well developed. They are also likeable, which adds to the enjoyment of the story. I’m really big on characters in books and always focus more on them than any other part of the story. However, in this book, so much more is involved and it all ties in together really well. I highly recommend this whole series!
Death Rites is not as intensely enthralling as the previous book in this series. However, it was engaging. The action and intrigue in this book are in the form of magical or should I say voodoo type rituals. There is also a significant amount of drama and humor that keep you engaged. The characters also keep you engaged as they are quite likable and draw you into their world. It will be interesting to see how this series carries on in future installments.

WOW! I love how Annabelle and Isabelle’s (her soul) characters have grown. They are determined, loyal, humble (great trait to have), and so much more. This series just gets more exciting as it’s goes and is so intense. It’s one of those series where you just keep turning the pages and don’t realize how much you’ve read until your done. Who’s doin all the killings?

The characters are complex and genuine with traits and qualities that add depth and realism that blend and flow, transforming into amazing personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions that feel as though you were transported to ground zero with them. Fantastic job Theophilus, thanks for sharing this lil’ fella with us.
I truly enjoyed Dragon Academy it was a nice surprise! I love the character dynamic between Kaos and her dragon it was wonderful to see it develop and progress over time as they bonded.
Our MC finds herself with a brand new baby dragon and has to learn how to not only care for it but fight as a rider. To learn all of this, she joins the Dragon Academy where her father was a member of the staff before his death and was one of the few being considered for the position of headmaster. As the story progresses, she stumbles on various secrets that the Academy has worked to hide including information about her father.
This book was very well done in a market flooded with academy books this stands on its own and manages to be original This book had great character development and solid world building which kept it interesting and engaging. The characters are complex and feel authentic it was easy to connect with them as the story moves forward and the pace was very well done. The world-building is very vivid with excellent details that really bring it to life.
I have to say this book really was a page turner from beginning to end! I just could not wait to see what was going to happen next! This book was filled with action, drama and enough suspense to make it completely entertaining. I highly recommend it such a great story!

“Death Rites” the third installment in the “Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy Series” by Theophilus Monroe is a wonderful addiction to series, and easily the most complex plot until now.
After Kalfu’s last attack the Academy is falling apart, and the majority puts the blame on Annabelle. Nevertheless, to stand a chance to defeat Kalfu, and freed the hostage, they need to present an unite front. Headmistress Erzulie evokes the Voodoo Trials to choose a new Mambo: each college should designate a student to participate. But the Voodoo Trials are not what they appear and, as Annabelle discover the truth, she is forced to decide between two impossible choices, fully aware that the danger of utterly destruction of the Voodoo world itself lies in the balance.
The combo Annabelle & Isabelle (her soul fused companion) is very strong main character: determined, fierce, loyal and courageous, a real female role model and able to display a plethora of emotions that transcend the written text and connect directly with the reader. The secondary characters, both god and evil offer a perfect counterbalance to the combo Anna/Isa(belle).
Theophilus Monroe’s blend of voodoo, magic, fantasy, mystery and romance is a unique addiction to the genre. The story is very well crafted, fast-paced, action-filled, setting in a fully realistic environment in where the fantasy elements serve to highlight the credibility of the story. The use of VooDoo lore is carefully dosed, allowing a good overview on the matter without overwhelming the lay reader with unnecessary data, a difficult task to master and the very denotator of a skilled author.
After this extraordinary third book I can hardly wait to read the next installment in the series.
I freaking love this series! Annabelle and her soul fused spirit Isabelle are badmambajambas. Yes, you read that right. They kick butts and i love it. I love how fierce, strong-willed, determined, good natured, loyal, even humble they are. The range of emotions they go through make them leap off the pages and feel real. Their friends are the perfect counter balance to them too. This book ramps up the dealings with Kalfu and Mercy and several others. We meet new characters and lose some and makes for one intense story. Might I say holy wow on that end. Give me more! I volunteered to read this book via Booksprout.
