About this ebook

Friends don’t let friends séance drunk.

Vivien Stone lost the love of her life over twenty years ago. Now that she’s in her forties with a string of meaningless relationships under her belt, she can't help but pine for what might have been. It doesn't help that she's somewhat psychic and can pretty much predict where a relationship is heading before it even starts.

When she and her best friends find a hidden book of séances, Vivien believes it's the perfect opportunity to talk to her lost love. But things don't go as planned and what was meant to be a romantic reunion takes a turn for the bizarre.

Maybe some things (and people) are better left buried in the past, and what she really needs has been standing in front of her all along.

Book Two of the Order of Magic Series: Magical Paranormal Women's Fiction by NY Times and USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow.

"Vivien Stone may be psychic but her road to love is unpredictable. With strong female friendships, a questionable seance, and a surprise romance, Michelle Pillow has summoned up another brilliant and funny PWF!" Renee George, USA Today Bestselling Author (2020)

About the Order of Magic Series

Older women kick ass. They know things. They’ve been there. They are worthy of their own literature category. They stopped giving a fuck. They also have their own set of issues that they face–empty nests, widows, divorce, menopause, health, etc–and these issues deserve to be addressed and embraced in literature. Women friendships matter. Women matter. Our thoughts and feelings matter.

Welcome to Paranormal Women's Fiction. Books for women who kick ass.

Ratings and reviews

3.5 Stars I did not see a trigger warning so here goes: There are circumstances of death and grief. This is primarily a story about three women who find themselves with powers. Each has their own unique powers. They form their own little "coven". Each is seeking peace and closure from past hurts and they try to find it through seances. In this book, Vivien is seeking her peace, by trying to bring back her dead husband. This is more a mystery with a pinch of romance.

Vivien lost her first love way earlier than she should have. She really shouldn't have married Rex the Ratbag, especially when he was never loyal to her. Now after 7yrs of divorced life, he's trying to con Viv into curtailing her alimony payments. Not a smart move Rex. Viv has some very strong evidence of all your little extra-marital peccadilloes! Viv made sure she never fell in love with anyone again. Young and Dumb is how she likes her men now. No expectations beyond a night or two. Pity her blood heats anytime her new neighbour is around. Troy is her age or thereabouts, a Professor and all around nice guy - will he tempt her where others did not? I love the bond between Viv and her friends, and even William. I loved that I did not know exactly what way the women's spectral visitor was going to go - was it another demon, was it Sam or was it some other nightmarish situation? Great characters, great chemistry - who'd expect all that hottiness lurked under the professor façade!

4.5 Stars - This second installment of Order of Magic was well written and just as entertaining as the first book. The characters were endearing while the story line kept me coming back for more. Another home run for Michelle M. Pillow. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
