Synopsis

Constance Campbell has made a few questionable decisions in the run-up to her fortieth birthday. So in a way, moving two thousand miles away from everything she's ever known makes perfect sense.

Creel Creek, Virginia is the last place either of her ex-husbands would ever think to look for her. What better place to hide from her humiliations than a town too small to warrant a mention on a map?

Laid off, and recently divorced from husband number two, this former workaholic moves in with her estranged—and very strange—grandmother. A grandmother who informs Constance that she comes from a long line of powerful witches. And on the day she hits the big 4-0, she'll come into her powers.

It turns out that she's not the only paranormal person in town. Under the sleepy surface, the small town is teeming with supernatural beings.

When Constance finds the town's resident vampire dead, things go from surreal to scary. The local sheriff is convinced that a killer is lurking in the shadows, hunting anyone with supernatural abilities . . . including witches like her.

He's not wrong.

Can Constance learn enough magic to save herself and Creel Creek from this unknown foe?

Fun and original! This book is a delightful and original story that surprised me with a lead character named Constance who is a very relatable and likeable forty year old woman (a refreshing change from all the high school or college age heroines found in so many stories).

The story held promise but I felt it was disjointed in parts. It needs to have a good editing due to the number of distracting typos, missing words and words that shouldn't be there.......more

Hocus pocus I love a good cozy romance. I love it even better when the characters have life experience. At 39 Constance finds her self staring over after discovering her husband is cheating and is let go from a job they both worked at. After confronting her husband and freezing the entire office she......more

This was a thoroughly enjoyable book for me. Sometimes cozy mysteries are too silly for my taste, but this one seemed to hit the right combination of mystery and the cozy elements. I think my favorite character was Trish. She's got just enough snark in her to make her enjoyable. I will be looking fo......more
