Someone is murdering witches left and right. And last but not least, my ex-husband's barely legal arm candy is taking fatal attraction to new levels of Hell. I'm no shrinking violet, and with the help of my best friends, I'm going to live life on my terms--come Hell, high water, or magikal mishaps. Don't miss out on the next book in the Grimm Cove Series World, Hexing with a Chance of Tornadoes! Romance book contains: sassy women who put their friends first, know how to laugh, and have a good time despite the lemons life has tossed their way. While they may be forty, they don’t see themselves as too old for anything, and they’re not ready for society to put them out to pasture. They’re quick to speak their truth with whatever colorful phrase they so choose, but no one is dropping any “F-bombs” in these. Keep in mind, these books are first and foremost paranormal romances, which means that while the women are tough and able to hold their own with any demon out there, they do find true love with the man that is right for each of them. If you’re all about fated mates, BFFs, old flames being rekindled, and laughing until your sides split (or if you happen to be over 40 like the author—until you tinkle a little), these books are for you. Yes, there are some sexy scenes in these books, but no one has any “red room of pain” or anything. Each book focuses on a new couple, and each gets their happily ever after (HEA). So, buckle up and get ready to take a trip to the supernatural filled town of Grimm Cove. It’s going to be one “spell” of a ride!
