"The sticky Louisiana bayou comes alive in first-time author LeBlanc's imaginative chiller about family curses and witch doctors....LeBlanc's dialogue is spot on, particularly Eli's twangy Louisiana slang. ("Gets out, you demon! You gots no business in this place. Get!") The journey through this story is riveting."
--Publisher's Weekly

"Family Inheritance, by Deborah LeBlanc, coming Aug, 3, is both a terrifying tale of suspense and screams and, at the same time, an affirming story of sibling devotion against all odds.... LeBlanc has taken her own south Louisiana roots and developed a novel which snares us into her own web of storytelling brilliance. The situations, which may seem alien or utterly impossible, are made totally real to the reader."
--Leonard Gray, L'Observateur

"Family Inheritance begins like the first strong jolt before a slow climb to the mother of all roller coaster rides where terror is just around the next curve or over the next hill. Deborah LeBlanc's prose is a flying leap into the labyrinth of madness and self-doubt that stops long enough to catch a breath before the next hurtling plunge into the abyss. Writing with power and imagination strongly rooted in Cajun Louisiana, LeBlanc's images are unforgettable and permeated with the odors of red beans and rice and the constant lurking presence of childhood fears waiting to jump out at the last turn of the jack-in-the-box's crank."
--J.M. Cornwell, The Celebrity Cafe

"In Family Inheritance, author Deborah LeBlanc paints a picture so realistic--and terrifying--that we are literally holding our breath as the tension builds in each scene. Wherever the reader is, they will be instantly transported to the Louisiana setting, smelling the aromas, seeing the bayou and swamp, tasting the culture…. It's almost a shock to put the book down and find yourself in your own home--if you can put the book down. I couldn't."
--Natalie R. Collins, ReadersRoom.com

"From the moment the reader meets her, Jessica LeJeune is richly developed, giving the reader a flesh and bone guide to follow instead of just a snapshot. Likewise, in the character of Eli in the deep swampland we can see a force to be reckoned with. ....What unfolds before the reader is an engrossing - at times terrifying - and altogether enjoyable story that is richly woven and told with passion. Deborah Leblanc holds the readers' attention and never once drops it."
