Whispers in the Quarter
(2024)(The second book in the Venom and Virtue series)
A novel by Sarah Kennedy
The masks we wear in the Big Easy are both a blessing and a curse.
I should know—I’ve worn more than most.
I was Sarah, then Celeste, now Evangeline.
Each name, a new layer peeled away, revealing secrets and danger beneath. I came to New Orleans for justice, but found myself ensnared in a conspiracy far beyond the bayou.
Just as I gain a foothold in this twisted world, my old mentor—the one who taught me everything about survival—reappears, threatening to destroy everything I've built.
Three men complicate my carefully laid plans:
A brilliant madman who sees the monsters inside us all,
A musician whose soul is as deep as the bayou,
And a fallen saint finally embracing his darkness.
Each of them stirs something in me—dangerous, undeniable, and perhaps the only thing keeping me from falling apart.
The deeper I delve into New Orleans' shadowy underworld, the higher the stakes become. The organization that killed my sister has roots twisted into the city's very foundation. And I am determined to bring them down, one by one—even if it means losing myself to the darkness that lurks within.
Sometimes the deadliest shadows are the ones we cast ourselves.
Welcome to my New Orleans. The monsters are waiting.
