Synopsis

Angharad "Harry" Russo is just your ordinary twenty-something, with one exception—she's a witch with an out-of-the-ordinary gift. When her blind date goes sideways and she ends up face-to-face with a dead body, her life starts to go sideways too.

Harry soon finds herself right in the middle of the mayhem, dealing with Cian Nash, a homicide detective that is as aggravating as he is sexy; the biggest, baddest vampire in town; and a parcel of pesky zombies that keep popping up everywhere. It's all connected to her date's unfortunate demise, or is there more to it than meets the eye?

About Lisa Emme

Lisa Emme is a Canadian who proudly ends her ABC's with "zed." A self-professed book-a-holic, she has spent the last few years trying to stem her book hoarding tendencies by writing her own stories and by avoiding the bargain table at the bookstore like the plague.

A bit of a thrill seeker, Lisa has tried such death defying activities as bungy jumping off a bridge and rappelling down the side of a seventeen-story building. She's also single-handedly raising a teenager.

Lisa has worked as a veterinary assistant, playground instructor, bank teller, store clerk, waitress, telephone solicitor, research writer for an environmental think tank, computer programmer, and systems analyst. Her passion however, is writing. What else is she going to do during the long, cold prairie winter?

Goodreads review by Mara

She tried. That's the best I can say. She got a plot, if paper thin, and a tentative world building. But even in a such short book, scant a novel, there's not enough to sustain the story. There's no depth at all. Characters are cardboard, even the main ones are barely a sketch. There's no coherence......more
