Perfect for you if...

  • You love urban fantasy with quirky, loyal side characters who are just as entertaining as the protagonist.
  • You appreciate slow-burn romance that builds naturally through banter and shared danger rather than instalove.
  • You want humour woven through your paranormal plots without it turning into parody.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone novels rather than committing to a series.
  • You need your romance to be the main emotional arc rather than a subplot.
  • You dislike self-deprecating protagonists or comedy that relies on characters constantly second-guessing themselves.

About this book

Betty Lennox is an elemental witch living in Smokethorn, California, who wants to leave her desert hometown permanently. She needs to sell the property she inherited from her mother, which sits in a paranormal seniors' trailer park. She's also running low on cash to maintain the protection spell that keeps the park safe. When offered a job to obtain a cursed grimoire—one so dangerous that the local coven refuses to touch it—Betty accepts, despite the job coming from a vicious wolf alpha who wants her dead. To retrieve the grimoire and protect her soul, she must work with an unlikely team: Fennel, a magical cat; Cecil, a homicidal garden gnome; a graveyard demon; her retired necromancer best friend; and a bartender who happens to be the wolf alpha's son. The story follows Betty and her group as they attempt to work together without killing each other. The book is part of the Smokethorn Paranormals Series and includes slow-burn romance elements.
