Publisher's Summary:
Jolie Bourque is trying to finish her thesis on mass hysteria and get on with her life. Enter Follette, Louisiana. The small town has been plagued by ghost sightings and a rash of missing children.
She is convinced everyone in town is crazy - except Hutch Landry and his brother Tucker. The brothers seem to be the only people willing to help when she starts asking questions. Just when she thinks things can't get any crazier, she begins to have dreams and visions of her own. Uncovering the town's ties to her own life throws Jolie into a tailspin.
Can she survive the madness that is Follette, Louisiana? Who is preying on the town's children? Can Jolie afford to fall in love while drowning in madness? If she does - how on earth will she choose between brothers?
It's all just part of the journey to Becoming Jolie.

New Fan !
Jolie, a college student trying to finish her thesis and graduate, heads to Follete to find out the strange occurances that had been happening there . To her, things like ghosts, and such doesn't exist until she experiences it herself. And even then she still doesn't want to believe.
I have to admit I was on the fence when it came to how I felt about Jolie, she came across as a spoiled brat but I am happy to say that she grew through out the book and by the end I really liked her and understood why she was the way she was.
I also can say I was totally taken off guard with the two guys actually three guys who seemed smitten with Jolie. I didn't expect it to go the way it did and I did like the fact the author teased me with which one would it be. My personal favorite didn't win the girl but I still didn't mind who she did end up with.
The story was filled with twists and turns and just when I thought I had figured it all out, the author changed it up on me. I want to thank the author for this, because sometimes its irritating to figure out the mystery almost at the beginning of the story.
I highly recommend this book for you Urban Fantasy lovers out there. I know I will be reading more from Monique in the future.
Grabbed my attention from the very first chapter!
Becoming Jolie grabbed my attention from the very first chapter. With an intriguing mystery fueling the heroine's journey, Monique O'Connor James was able to keep me engaged the whole way through.
Jolie goes to Follette to finish her thesis for her Master's degree, but soon the mystery she goes there to unravel takes over her life, revealing things about her past that turns her world upside-down.
The interesting love triangle formed between Jolie and the brothers (naughty Jolie!) drew me in, even though I favored one brother over the other. Everyone has a few indulgences that must be allowed, and James's love triangle certainly sated my need.
James writes a compelling and interesting novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the whole ride.
Great book!
I liked this story a lot. It was sort of mysterious and a bit suspenseful, sweet and romantic all in one. The story seemed like something that could actually have happened in real life; though the `black market adoptions' is real, unfortunately. Finding out the truth behind the crimes happening in Follette, and that she was one of those `illegally adopted' babies turns her world upside down.
