It was one of those multi book series things from Amazon that was either free or 99 cents. They use these to get you to buy the author's other works (I probably got it through Book Bub; first four books)
I had put it aside, buried in my Kindle. Last week I got book one from a series called "The Seven" At the end was a blurb for Crimson and Clover...turns out it is the same author.
So I dug it out and am now reading it, and enjoying it. It's keeping me up at night, that's for sure.
The books are set in New Orleans and involve a family of (what else, it is after all New Orleans) witches.
Two New Orleans families are blessed with magic-and cursed by it. From USA Today bestselling paranormal author Sarah M. Cradit comes The House of Crimson & Clover Volumes I-IV, the first four novels in the twelve-installment House of Crimson & Clover series. Begin at the start with this collection, and dive into the secretive, ancient, and powerful world of the Deschanels and Sullivans.
Books in the series:

A sprawling dynasty. An ancient bloodline. A world of magic and mayhem.
