About this ebook

Seeking a little excitement in life can sometimes lead to trouble.

At 37-years-old, life is good but not great. It’s missing a little spark, so it’s high time I do something to rectify that.

A move across the country to the town my grandparents called home is exactly what I’ve been missing. I’ll embrace my magic, reopen their shop, and hope I don’t get run out of a town.

The good people of Snowton Heights believe the Wayward curse has returned with a vengeance. That might be true, but before I can find out for sure, I have another problem that needs my attention. A dead body on my front doorstep could derail my quest for a new life.

Ratings and reviews

I feel that this was a style that harked back to the fifties, or even earlier. It would have been quite at home, serialised in a women's magazine. Now I don't mean this as an insult; it's a perfectly pleasant story but definitely not about to set the world alight! Seriously, it's a way of passing an hour or so without taxing the brain too much & that's about it. Would I read another one? In all honesty, no. But you never know - I might!

The general lack of paranormal was very disappointing. While the story was based around there being magic, there was not much in practice. There were also several annoying punctuation and grammatical errors. 7/10 stars.

Love the change pace from a busy city to a sleepy cozy suburb. The emotions and power of suggestion all culminate in this cozy mystery. It makes you all warm and fuzzy inside without the terror.
