Synopsis

"Adele's supernatural roller-coaster ride continues at breakneck speed." —RT Book Reviews Tormented by the fate she condemned her mother to, and by the lies she's forced to tell to cover it up, Adele scours Storm-ravaged New Orleans for the truth about her family's magical past. But every turn leads her back to the one person she's determined to forget: the vampire Niccolò Medici. Not even the bewitched locks trapping him can break their connection. Sensing Niccolò calling to Adele, Isaac tries relentlessly to keep her from exploring paths that would endanger them all. But a new threat is rising in New Orleans—an older enemy that will bring Isaac's haunted past to life, test the witches' friendships, and jeopardize Adele and Isaac's blossoming relationship.In this spellbinding continuation of The Casquette Girls saga, Adele delves into seventeenth-century Florence—a time bubbling with alchemy and fraternal betrayal. As she uncovers long-buried secrets, sorting history from fantasy will be her only hope of saving her mother, her coven, and her magic.

Goodreads review by NickReads on May 04, 2020

Okay, okay now let's talk about The Romeo Catchers. This has to be one of the weirdest and greatest series that I have read. It is a blend of American Horror Story and Stranger Things plus as some more "weird" potion. It is so hard for me to describe this book without spoiling anything, so I won't eve......more

I adore this series. ADORE. Be warned I’m gonna fangirl and there will be SPOILERS! I love the magic system, I love the characters and I LOVE the setting. It’s just so magical and rich. Even though these books are set in a New Orleans ravaged by a horrific storm and the resulting flood, even though......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on May 21, 2017

This is the kind of sequel you want. It draws you deeper into the characters, expanding relationships and the world they live in. This novel is so well crafted and complex and beautiful.

Goodreads review by R.K. on November 29, 2020

I’m on a walk and using voice text so I’m sorry if there are any typos. As always these reviews will have spoilers. This will not be too formal I’m just going to voice my initial thoughts upon completing this book. Well, you can’t say this book slams it anyway. Wow it was hardly filled with action, a......more

Goodreads review by Jennie on November 08, 2018

This book started off slow but, then reeled me in at about chapter 5. I love witches and books set in New Orleans so this series is a perfect fit for me. I enjoyed learning more about Nico's past and how he became a vampire. That fascinated me. I really like Adele as she is strong, independent and k......more

Quotes

"This detailed and descriptive sequel is every bit as engrossing as the first, with deftly drawn character arcs and a captivating setting." —School Library Journal

"In this sequel to The Casquette Girls (2013), teen witches Adele and Isaac grow closer while fresh evil descends upon flood-ravaged New Orleans. The author continues to woo culture and history mavens, adding vivid New Orleans color (the funeral procession) and plenty of post-hurricane detail (such as Isaac's grim recovery work, so similar to that carried out after Katrina). Warm, carefully drawn characters are the story's main attraction. A meticulous blend of witchery, New Orleans lore, and teen angst." —Kirkus Reviews

"Fans will be floored by The Romeo Catchers, the much-anticipated follow up to The Casquette Girls. An intense dreamscape of a read full of magic, menace, and mystery." —Tonya Hurley, New York Times bestselling author of the ghostgirl series and the Blessed trilogy

"Adele's supernatural roller-coaster ride continues at breakneck speed, with shocking revelations along the bloodstained way. Rich descriptions of post-storm New Orleans as well as a variety of vivid secondary characters create a lush background, allowing this extraordinary story to thrive. Readers will be enchanted and horrified in turn as Arden plunges them into a sudden, unpredictable cliffhanger that will leave them as stunned as her characters." —RT Book Reviews
