Books With Voodoo/Vodou/Vodoun part of the plot?

Just looking for some books that use voodoo as part of the plot. Not the hollywood dolls and pins type. You know, with the lwa (Baron Samedi(ghede), Legba, Erzuli, etc.).

I have already read:
Voodoo Dreams by Jewell Parker Rhodes
American Gods by John Gaiman(?)
Witches Abroad by Terry Prachet (scifi, part of the Discworld cycle.)
On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers
 
The Religion by Nicholas Conde is one. There was a 1987 movie adaptation starring Martin Sheen called The Believers.
 
Barbara Hambly writes a mystery series about Benjamin January, a free man of color in 1830s New Orleans. Benjamin’s sister, Olympia Snakebones, is a voodooienne. The first book in the series is A Free Man Of Color, and the third book (about Olympe being arrested for murder) is Graveyard Dust.
