After reading the novella version in the Men of Valor anthology, I was so excited to get the full story! This is an amazing romantic suspense novel that takes place in the seedy dark streets of New Orleans, where women are being murdered in sacrificial rituals. Voodoo magic and mad minds collide in a riveting, fast-paced story that kept my heart pounding.
Ignatius and Dominique had that immediate chemistry that you know will combust sooner or later with their sexy connection. I could feel, on a visceral level, the mystical, magnetic ambiance of New Orleans in the descriptive settings, and the snappy, dialogue was so on point! The suspenseful plot grabbed my attention right away, and it held me spellbound right down to the final page! I loved, loved, loved this!
What an amazing read!
I have always loved stories based in New Orleans with a voodoo storyline… and this was one of the best.
This storyline had me from the beginning.
Dominique and Ignatius are so hot together.
And let me just say… talk about a killer with an agenda!
Loved the graphic storyline… the twists and the suspense.
More than your average read.
How far would you go to ensure the one you loved stayed safe.
Excellent… such a powerful read.

WOW! What can I say! VOODOO BURNING is more than just a mystery crime thriller; Nadine Catalano takes you into a world of dark psychological torture. I was totally enthralled with this twisted and diabolical story, despite the plethora of chilling and gruesome crimes mentioned. It captivated my attention from beginning to end. This is an awesome book, one you NEED to READ—you won’t regret it! Dominique Chavelle is a criminal investigator who was sent to New Orleans because a serial killer(s) was on the loose. Dominque is also a direct descendant of a powerful voodoo priestess, and she is thrown back into a world she thought she’d managed to struggle out of—crimes related to voodoo, magic, hoodoo, satanic ritual, or something else. Ignatius Beauchamp, is a firefighter and a plantation heir, but such a sexy and swoon-worthy alpha male. It started as a simple murder case to solve, then another one with the same symbols—it escalated and became a fight to survive. There are seven deadly sins, so they say—Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Pride, and Wrath. We are guilty of them all. But what happens when someone decides to become judge, jury, and executioner of those that commit these sins? This serial killer(s) did everything calculating, but regardless, Ignatius will do whatever it takes to protect Dominque. But will it be enough to save her? The chemistry between Dominque and Ignatius gets really sultry—the sex is off-the-chart hot!! Just when you think you have it all figured out, it takes a new turn making you realize just how wrong you were. I was flabbergasted with the unexpected revelations that happened, but it is jaw-dropping good! Not all of its surprises are pleasant ones, but there is a certain satisfaction in experiencing a thread that is so obstinately unexpected. The manipulation and games played is nothing short of masterful as Nadine Catalano feeds you a story filled with everything from murder to more than you can imagine.
A well written storyline with great characters, Loved Dominique and Ignacious, solving crime and putting out fires. This story kept me turning the pages, it will suck you in from the beginning until the end. Voodoo Burning was an amazing read, Loved it.
Ok this is the full length of the novella that come out in the Men of Valor anthology. And if you were left wanting more just as much as I was after the novella-this in no way disappoints!! Ignatius is this super hot firefighter who is also the heir to a plantation. Dominque is a special investigator that has been called in to investigate the murders of women that may or may not have been ritualistic. But she also has some links to voodoo due to her family. These two are sizzling together! I was hooked right from the start and not only was I sucked into the story, I was sucked into the suspense of it all. Not only do you get a great story with lots of action and suspense but off the charts chemistry as well! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!
This is an exciting book! The killer with an agenda; Dominique, the very special Investigator with long blood ties to the city; Ignasius, the Firefighter with his own blood deep in the land.
The crimes are horrendous. The scenes are of nightmares. And soon it becomes evident to our Hero and Heroine that there is a master plan in play.
But when there is a leak and Dominique becomes a target, Ignatius will do all he can to keep her safe.
When opposing religions are melded into a vile concoction by the madman no one is safe.
Many times through this book I was clenching my stomach. The scenes were at times vivid and shocking. Then there were the amazing love scenes and those were just as vivid.
I follow NM Catalano faithfully and would not have missed this for the world. The epilogues were priceless!
Voodoo Burning was an intriguing, suspenseful and steamy read. The intense connection and fiery chemistry Dominique and Ignatius shared kept me turning the pages as quickly as I could. I enjoyed the suspense that kept me guessing and trying to piece everything together. I adored Ignatius and his dirty talking self especially when his protective alpha instincts came out. I loved the pull between them and how Dominique didn’t hide from his darkness. Ignatius and Dominique’s story was gritty, intense and gripping until the very end.
This book has made it as one of my favorites by Nadine Catalano. It’s impossible to not be wrapped up immediately in this book. Once the story begins to unfold, it’s fast and keeps your wanting to know more.
This is an intense, gripping and enthralling love story, with a lot of twists and turns that you can’t begin to imagine. It’s full of unconditional love based on a past shared experience, one that has broken their hearts and souls but that themselves can mend, and subsequently heal each other.
A must read. Pick up your copy today…

This was a dark, twisted, sexy ride. If was full of suspense and some very intense scenes. I enjoy books where I’m trying to piece things together along with the characters to figure out what is going on. N.M. Catalano added just the right amount of steam to this thriller. I really liked Ignatius and Dominique together. They were a great team and very hot!
A serial killer is on the loose and Dominique is helping on the case. Ignatius is a sexy firefighter also on the cases. These two are smoking hot as a couple. Will they be able to catch a killer before he strikes again? A thrilling read that I recommend.
