Mystic Bayou
Narrated by Amanda Ronconi and Jonathan Davis
Return to Mystic Bayou for more guilty pleasure. This time we have two newcomers as our heroine and hero, both dealing with lots of baggage before they're even hit with the wonderful weirdness that is Mystic Bayou. Cordelia and Brendan have come to town to deal with the "artifact" found in the bayou in the last adventure. It's a black box that seems to be the source of all the growing magical disturbances and problems coming out of the Rift.
Several problems to get over: Cordelia is a touch psychic, which makes it hard to be around people, much less deal with everyday living because everything she touches fills her mind with their stories. Brendan is a rare male banshee, so technically he's dead. And when he gets visions, they're always about people's deaths. Then there are the occasional sightings of Cordelia's psycho, entitlement attitude, con-woman mother, whom she fled when she was a teen. And the pressure from some pretty high up people in the League, to get the artifact to not just communicate, but cooperate and toe the line with the League's goals and ideals. That's just the tip of the problem-loaded iceberg.
Some answers, some changes, some danger. Lots of laughs. And more strong performances from all our favorite characters living in Mystic Bayou. I really hope Harper keeps writing more stories, because I want to keep coming back and seeing my old friends. Hmm, there is that phoenix/dragon baby on the way. A new generation to watch and cheer for? Please?
