Who’s Killing the Exotic Dancers?The Big Easy Gentleman’s Club has a flock of beauties who dance to the wee hours, but several have ended up dead. Not only that, they were drained of blood. Helga knows that New Orleans is rumored to have these blood suckers of the night, but is it true? She’s a witch, so why not? Or could the culprit be someone who likes to use the blood of young beautiful women … likes to use the blood of young beautiful women to keep herself youthful? And what is up with Helga’s old school chum? In school he was considered a weasel, but now that he’s coming to the club, he’s changed into something more sinister. Has he been turned or is there something more mundane going on?
Gwen and Penelope are ready to help or hinder as usual. And of course Helga’s familiar, Andromeda, is his usual chill self. Nothing rattles that cool cat.

Down But Not Dead by Constance Barker is a wonderful story that I have read. This is book number two out of six books that I have loved reading and I am so hooked I can not wait to read the rest of this series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about cozy mysteries in their stories.

Helga and her antique shop are back! And instead of concentrating on the sale of the year coming up, she is concentrating on murder—3 of them actually! This second book of the series is brilliant and even better than the last book! Helga didn’t hesitate to take on the darkest evil knowing she was putting herself at risk. Fortunately she had back up from Jacob when the stunning final confrontation happens. Great characters, including helpful ghosts, make this series fun. I am already anxious to read what happens next!
I am enjoying this series with each new release. The action and suspense are just enough for me to keep reading. The characters are well developed and their relationships are what people strive for in real life.

Hello Andromeda!!!!!
Watch out for all the rabbit trails in this story!!!
Is the fair going to be cancelled? If so, how ill Helga survive?
Dancers are dying. Blood loss? Same place?
What does an old school chum have to do with this? Is he still the same person you remember?
There are lots of bats, vampire?, and what else?
I admit that I did not figure it out till almost the end. But I did get before the reveal.
Wonderful second book in this series. Fun, easy to read cozy. Easily read in a day or take your time and enjoy it more.

Dancers are dying and they’re found drained of blood. Is it a vampire? Someone trying to make it look like a vampire?
It was so hard to put this book down, even to try and sleep! I kinda figured the killer out, but kinda not at the same time. It was a great twist!

Vampires or an Elizabeth Bathory situation? This had me running in circles until the end and I never solved it. I love reading this series! I love Helga’s shop with its resident ghosts, Zephyr and Orchid! They are fun!
Helga is asked by Jacob to use her special ability to find out why several dancers have been murdered. Later, Jacob warns her to step back from this dangerous case, but she cannot let it rest. There are enjoyable twists in this mystery. I especially enjoyed the spirited Orchid and Zephyr, and, of course, Andromeda, the cat.

Talk about bumbling through an investigation! Helga is asked about a dead dancer from a “gentleman’s club” by her friend Jacob who is a detective, the murder neither connects to her nor does she know the deceased but all of a sudden she is jumping to conclusions and jumping onto the investigation
Helga can speak to ghosts but this is not used to her advantage as it seems the only ghosts she can see are the two in her shop a debutante and a flapper who Jacob can also see
I was excited about this series, but to be honest it is a bit of a let down, very little of New Orleans and to much bumbling from one suspect to the next, Gwen is not likeable and Jacob is just a puppy dog who tells Gwen not to investigate, but everytime he catches her (and lets face it she is not exactly highding it) he says aw shucks Helga don’t do it again

New Orleans, Antique Fair, Murder, and Vampires
This is a fun, paranormal cozy mystery. It is the second in a series and the books just keep getting better. The story has everything to love about paranormal stories and everything to love about cozy mysteries. And, with a setting like New Orleans, how could it lose? I received this ARC book for free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.
Helga is a witch who owns an antiques store haunted by ghosts. When several dancers at a nearby gentleman’s club are murdered, Helga can’t help but look into the deaths. Can a vampire be behind the killings? Book is more enjoyable if the previous book in the series has been read.

Helga needed something spectacular to bring customers to the annual antiques fair and into her shop. But a minor distraction will take her attention when exotic dancers are being murdered and drained of blood. Three have been killed so far. Her best friend Detective Jacob Brody, with the ability to see and talk to ghosts and spirits, comes into the shop to ask for her help with the case. Helga thinks it is probably a vampire and she and her friends are ready to take on the challenge.
As part of her investigation, she decides to visit the Big Easy Club where the strippers worked. As she heads down the dark alley to the rear door to break in, she is attacked and bitten by a vampire. She quickly escapes by dropping her full body weight to the ground, sliding right off his teeth! She was positive it was Gregory, but she couldn’t really see in the dark. When her shop is attacked by bats pelting the window, a threatening message is left carved on the door saying “STAY AWAY FROM THE BIG EASY”. Who is the vampire responsible for all of this? Can she and her friends find him before more people die?
I love the cover!
First off I have to say I love the cover! She needs something spectacular for the annual antique fair I don’t think murder was what Helga had in mind. This starts off cute with her friends from the shop giving her ideas. Then Jacob shows up and the tale really gets going. Right off we have an interesting twist. I loved this cozy I loved the ghosts and the alive people what a wonderful cast of characters. The ending was really cool. If you like cozies this is a must-have book I hope you pick it up! I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Helga was getting ready for the fair when Jacob comes in to see her. He needs her help with a case he is working on. Turns out that there might be vampires in there town. Helga decides that she will help Jacob with this case. Helga seeks out help from a few close to her. She has a suspect and goes to the location of the murder. As she investigates these murders, she has another suspect.
Things will ramp on on Helga when she is attacked, she doesn’t know who is responsible. She will let her gut lead the way. Things will get even more out of control. Didn’t want to get into detail so I didn’t spoil the book.
This was a good story to get lost in for a while. These characters and story are interesting. I am looking forward to see where Helga and Jacob go in the future.

Helga was depending on the Art Fair for a much needed boost in revenue for antique store.
A spate of mysterious murders linked to dancers from a gentleman’s club jeopardize the fair.
Can Helga, detective Jacob and friends find a solution before the deaths and the revenue loss put Helga out of business- permanently?
Very connected female figures. Strong paranormal portrayals, befuddling mystery and adventure

Who can you trust? Exotic dancers are being murdered and when found they have been drained of blood. Helga is sure it is a vampire and she and her friends are on the case. Of course her best friend and police officer Jacob doesn’t want her involved in case she gets hurt. After several days of investigating she is attacked by a vampire but he bites her once and runs away and then her shop is attacked by bats and a threatening message left. But who is the vampire? Someone she already has on her suspect list or someone else? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review
