Run Devil Run Justine Sebastian

In Sparrow Falls, Louisiana roots run deep. For generations, Aaron Talley's family has practiced hoodoo. It is their legacy. When Aaron was a little boy he believed the things his grandmama told him. Then he grew up and left hoodoo behind. He traded in his knowledge of goofer dust for the cheap chemistry of cooking meth. He forgot all of the things that made him different and those things forgot about him, too. Or so he thought. Aaron is a grown man now and living a life he might not have been destined for, but that he's sure is a better fit. Then a chance encounter with a childhood friend drags all of the things Aaron tried to abandon back into the light. But that's not even half of it. His real problems start with an angry old woman waiting for him by his mailbox one day. The day after that, he finds Xs etched into the soil of his driveway and knows it's bad news. When he starts to get sick and everyone he loves begins to hate him, he realizes it's even worse than he thought. He's been crossed-jinxed, cursed; condemned to death by the very power he turned his back on. Aaron can get the cure to that which ails him, but he has to do something in exchange for it. It's a limited time offer though and if Aaron wants to see the next day then he has to run like the devil. The real question is: Can he?
