Bourbon Street Shadows is one of Heidi McLaughlin’s newer series, beginning with Curse in the Quarter (2025). Set in New Orleans, the series adds supernatural and paranormal elements to McLaughlin’s romance writing. Relic in the Rue (2026) and Crimson in the Crescent (2026) continue the story.
The New Orleans setting provides natural material for paranormal storytelling, and the series represents a new direction for an author who has spent most of her career in contemporary romance. The blend of Bourbon Street atmosphere with supernatural romance gives these books a distinct identity in McLaughlin’s large catalog.
