Despite having lost half her soul, coven leader Jade Calhoun is determined to lead a regular life, and that means planning her wedding. With just five weeks until the big event, plans are halted when Jade falls victim to a ghost possession. Unfortunately, it appears the only way to keep the ghost at bay is to spend twenty-four hours a day with the last person Jade wants to share a house with - the angel who has the other half of her soul.
Things go from bad to worse when the ghost targets Jade's friends and her fiance, Kane. The ghost is using sex magic to steal Jade's power, and she'll stop at nothing to get what she wants. Even if it means forcing Jade into the arms of another man. In order to banish the ghost, fix her soul, and have a chance at her happy ending, Jade will need to find her father and uncover the decades-old secret her mother is determined to keep hidden.

About four months ago, Jade Calhoun’s soul tore in half when the Angel Council tried to remove it entirely and give it to Meri, one of their own. Since then, Jade has been physically weak, has lost her empathic ability and finds it hard to locate her white witch’s spark.During a meeting with the seamstress and the caterer for Jade's upcoming wedding to Kane, the resident ghost at Summer House, Camille, manages to possess Jade’s body. Because Jade’s soul is compromised, the possession is physically total. Jade essentially has the supernatural equivalent of Locked-In Syndrome; she can see and feel what the ghost is doing with her body but she cannot communicate with either the ghost or the outside world. Fortunately, Bea is able to spell away the connection this time. Bea also sends Jade to be with Meri, who has the other half of Jade’s soul. Together, they can fight off the ghost, at least temporarily.
To survive without being in constant juxtaposition to Meri, Jade needs a complete repair and healing for her soul. Without it, the ghost will eventually be able to not only possess her body but also her soul itself. The Locked-In Syndrome will become not only permanent but also emotionally unendurable. Jade will cease to exist and Camille will be “alive” again.
Unfortunately, this soul repair requires that a minute sliver of the soul of each of her biological parents be transfused into Jade. And that is unfortunate because Jade hasn’t seen her father in seventeen years and her mother refuses to tell her his whereabouts.
And thus we have the set-up for one of the tensest and most action-filled entries in this series. Deanna Chase simply does not let the reader rest. One chapter moves directly to the next, mid-action, and the only “slow” scenes are those staged in the bedroom. And the episodes in which the ghost, Camille, possesses Jade are absolutely bone-chilling.
As far as character development goes, Jade is still heavily ensconced in fight or flight, with major emphasis on “flight.” She is definitely a run-first-think-later type. And when she does decide to fight, it’s usually a selfish and emotional response, the consequences not thought out at all. And furthermore, she has absolutely no skills in following directions, particularly those intended to save her life from some enemy. You’d think the events of the last eight months would have taught Jade something, but apparently the author feels that keeping her on the edge of TSTL is the way to create sympathy and develop loyal readers.
I am currently sitting on the fence as to whether I will proceed with the series past the next novel, which is already in my library. I love Deanna Chase’s writing and the paranormal situations she pens are top-notch. I just do not know how much longer I can tolerate a main protagonist who cannot seem to get out of the “I am a victim” rut and who rarely uses her brain for much more than holding her hair on.

Angels of Bourbon Street Jade Calhoun Series Book 4 (Audible Audio Edition) Deanna Chase Traci Odom Bayou Moon Publishing Books Reviews
But, first and foremost, it is a charming continuation of the adventures in Jade's life. Not only is she busily making preparations for her upcoming wedding, but she is having to deal with the consequences of living with a torn (as in partially-present) soul. Consequences that have made her susceptible to possession.... her and others whom her soul has touched.
But It's far more than the adventures happening in the life of the charming white witch we have grown to adore throughout this series. This book is an important resource for all who have suffered rape, as well as for their loved ones and most supportive friends.
Jade, while possessed by a sexually maniacal ghost, is forced into an intimate situation against her own will, one in which she is helpless to assert her own desires to not participate in the intimacies pursued by her possessor. While the acts did not, thankfully for her, reach culmination, she suffers the consequences that so often devastate existing, wanted relationships.
But Kane, now her fiance, has blessed insights and compassionately that allow him to do and be everything she needs to get through the devastation. And it is here where the book becomes such an important resource for rape victims and those who love them the book shares all her feelings, and all she needs to be able to get through the devastation. This book could prove immensely helpful to those in need, revealing all that needs to be done and said, yet cannot be spoken aloud nor shared without escalated emotions.
And then the reader realizes, with sadness, that the author could not write touching all the accompanying emotions so completely and thoroughly without having been through it in life, either personally, or as trusted friend of one who has had the horrible experience in life.
And, no, this time it would probably be best if the kids stayed away. At least until they're older. And then, it should be required reading! It might even end up letting them recognize those dreaded responses in affected friends, ultimately helping them get the help they need.
I enjoy these books and I like most of the characters because they have been able to grow as the series has moved forward, then there are some I could do without sometimes. Being set in New Orleans makes this work perfectly for the way things seem to go for everyone here. I have never been but every time I read one of these books I can imagine that I an visiting the French Quarter or the Garden District because of the vivid descriptions of the locales. I chose to listen and read because it does make it so much easier to keep the story going when I am on the go. I can listen in my office at work while still being productive and relaxed.
Jade has been left with only half her soul because of circumstances beyond her control, even though she was doing the right thing. But she decides that nothing is going to stop her from marrying the man of her dreams, Kane. Well things never go smoothly for Jade no matter how much she wants it to.
Jade is possessed by the ghost residing in Kane's family home while making arrangements for her wedding. Though they are able to save her once it becomes clear that in her weakened state she is easy prey. Now she will have to live with the person who has the other half of her soul in order to keep her safe, but that does not help her friends.
The narrator, Traci Odom, does a great job of bringing the characters to life, both male and female. If you have enjoyed the first three books in this series then you will enjoy the continued adventures of this new to her craft witch.
