Sweet Unrest Lisa Maxwell Books

To be completely honest I purchased this book based purely off of the cover and title, and I am so glad I did. This turned out to be an unexpectedly great find, and I am so glad I got to read it. The mystery, romance (however sad and unorthodox it might be) and the thrill were amazing. It seemed as if this novel was a bit on the dark side for a YA, but after reading it I feel as if it wasn't really. Lisa Maxwell did a superb job writing this book and for it to be her debut novel is amazing. The language and culture in the book are amazingly well done and the characters are easy to relate to, hard to keep yourself from falling in love with and completely unforgettable.

I was completely immersed and enthralled with this enchanting story about voodoo and hoodoo, magic, trapped and wandering souls, good and evil, love that transcends time and goes on through multiple lifetimes, history, friendships and family. I couldn't get enough, I laughed, cried and rooted for good to defeat evil, I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was behind it all and what would happen next. Maxwell knew what she was doing with the traditional New Orleans themes of voodoo, sacrifice, possession and ghosts, and boy did she do it well, I cannot wait to find out what is in store for Lucy, so I hope there is a follow up story!

Sweet Unrest Lisa Maxwell Books Reviews

I loved the history, mystery, touch of romance & New Orleans feel of this wonderful book! I found it almost impossible to put down & can't wait for the next book!!!!
I love a good ghost story full of magic, love lost, and found. A time before when the world was a different place. Old & new Louisiana. Everything about this book kept me engulfed in it, I hated to see it end.
This book combines a number of things I absolutely love - the South, ghosts, voodoo, New Orleans, history - and pours it beautifully into an engaging tale that kept me guessing. In the end, my favorite part is the sweeping suggestion that love just might span more than a lifetime. Dreamy book!
Sweet Unrest was a decent read, and okay for a debut novel. What I liked The story line is full of possibility. I loved the New Orleans setting, and the author does a nice job of developing the atmosphere. The plot was somewhat predictable, though, and the characters fairly flat. I kept waiting for the storyline to pick up, but it never really did. The climax and conclusion of the story seemed sloppy and hurried; it definitely left me wanting something more. I'd recommend this book to readers who enjoyed the Beautiful Creatures series.
Three and a half stars!!!! Great story!! Interesting and a quick read!! Can't wait to read the next one!!! I love everything I have read by this author so far!!!
For fans exploring Maxwell's other novels after reading "Last Magician", this will be a bit of a let down. While the research for voodoo and New Orleans is great, and the discussion of race relations is realistic, the focus on the love story comes off a bit heavy at times.
Sweet Unrest was a wonderfully detailed Southern gothic story. Lucy Aimes' entire life is uprooted when her father takes over a job managing/curating a large southern plantation. Lucy gets conscripted to take pictures of the estates, but she can't escape unsettling dreams of drowning, or the handsome boy that no one else seems to see. As the story progresses, her dreams of the past and her experience of the present start to dovetail, both haunted by the same ancient evil that still lingers in the estate. Maxwell does a wonderful job fleshing out Lucy's world--the details of 19th century New Orleans and voodoo magic were fascinating and the climax was appropriately heart-pounding and creepy. I enjoyed Lucy's bittersweet romance, but selfishly wanted more of it.
