A Witch’s Halloween

Halloween: full of tricks, treats, and the occasional magical homicide.

All Michelle Oaks wanted was some rest and relaxation with her fiancé, Elron, away from the chaos and stress of planning her wedding.

No such luck. Not when the bride is the future premier of the witch clans, the groom is an elf, and the in-laws haven’t officially acknowledged the 21st century.

It’s nearly Samhain, the time of year when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. Magical fixers in northern Georgia are in short supply, and the local authorities are unable to combat the rising number of otherworldly incidents and ask her to assist. By the time Michelle has a chance to mourn her lost vacation, she’s already working with the police in pursuit of a supernatural killer with no discernible pattern of attack.

Its damage, however, is widespread. The dead are resting in pieces, not in peace. Bystanders wander around in a drunken haze, unable to speak of the crimes they witnessed. Michelle faces a strange, powerful magic she’s never encountered before. It’s up to her to understand its origins and to end the mayhem before the perpetrator strikes again.

Because if this case messes with her Halloween party, there will be hell to pay.
