Blurb:
Hello, it’s me, intrepid amateur
sleuth, Stevie Cartwright back in the saddle again!
An intrepid amateur sleuth who’s
being hunted.
Yep. This time I’m the case that needs solving. My
most recent past has come back to haunt me. What I mean by that is, almost
every single criminal dead or alive that we’ve captured or we've had a hand in
doling out their fate, have been stalking me via the ghost of my very first
case.
Sal Finch.
Remember him? Win’s vengeful cousin,
angry and bitter when he lost all of Win’s inheritance to me and tried to kill
me, has somehow figured out how to read people on this plane and get them to do
his bidding.
So far, I’ve been the recipient of a
black eye, I’ve been shot at, and someone tried to blow me up! So how do I,
mostly a mere mortal, fight off someone from the afterlife still holding a big,
fat grudge?
I call my sister Halliday Valentine
to help me fight off the forces of evil, of course! A full-time witch who has
visions, and part time sleuth just like me. But the afterlife sure has
drastically changed since I lost my powers, and everyone around me becomes
suspect as Sal whispers suggestively in the ears of criminals who would like
nothing better than to see me kaput.
So when things get so bad, my sister
Hal has a vision of me, a mere dead husk of a body, my soul evaporated for
eternity, we know we have to take action and call Sal out with the mother of
all spells. But with the afterlife in such an uproar, and the delicate timing
of the spell, will we get this monkey off my back, or leave the world turned
upside down?
My review:
If you haven’t read the earlier books you may not fully
appreciate the drama and angst of unanswered questions that finally come to
light in this installment. Stevie has had her powers stripped, been shunned by
her coven in Texas and left to succeed or fail on her own. She has built a life
and found love in Seattle. This book brings it all back and if Stevie can stay
alive she may finally get the answers she so richly deserves. I will add that I’ve
been waiting on those answers as well. A total win.
