Blurb:
If you want to know who unalived you, I'm your
girl. Evanora Lavinia Dark at your service!
Heart
attack/stroke/open-heart surgery survivor, new-lease-on-life starter,
astral-projecting-ghost-talker.
And most importantly, a witch over fifty with bursitis, blood pressure meds,
and zero effs to give.
I’m done with corporate life—or maybe it was done with me first— and after a
life-changing stroke followed by a heart attack and a subsequent quadruple
bypass. All this just before boarding a plane for my lifetime dream trip to
Hawaii.
Clearly, it was time for a change.
So I moved back to my hometown and my passion. Interior design. I have no
experience, no degrees in the field, but I jumped in with both feet and opened
my own house staging business--Stage Right. Nowadays, you can find me happily
decorating houses for my best friend, house flipper, and real estate agent,
Fabiola Fabrizio.
Together, we’re determined to give our town, Buttermilk Bay, located in
Massachusetts (not far from Salem) a facelift and bring in young families to stir
up the economy. Little by little, people are beginning to take notice of my
work and hiring me on the daily and that’s great for my bank account.
There’s only one problem. Ghosts. Sooo many ghosts. Ghosts I started to see
after my bypass surgery (cliche, right?). Ghosts who were murdered and need my
help to solve the mystery surrounding their deaths. Do you have any idea how
hard it is to carry a fifty pound chandelier while a ghost is in your ear,
hassling you to find their killer?
When a guy named Ferris Leopold is found dead at the house next door to the one
I’m staging, it’s full steam ahead to solve his murder. Or is it? Ferris was a
lowdown dirty, albeit petty thief in life and I’m struggling to set aside my
morals in order to help him.
But as I dig deeper into Ferris’s past, meet a hot AF silver fox of a man, and
explore my new powers in the process, I discover not everything is as it
seems...
My review:
Stage Fright is the first in a delightful new paranormal cozy
series. It features a fifty something single empty nester who is starting over.
She’s left her soul sucking job behind and is doing what she loves. She has a
wonderful BFF and a hunky contractor has made his interest known. Evan sees
ghosts and helps them solve their murders like a clumsy Jessica Fletcher.
I really enjoyed meeting Evan and her quirky cortege of
friends. I can’t wait to see where the author takes this series.
