Another series I've read since the beginning. It all started when Constance Campbell tries to escape her ex-husbands by returning to her roots in Creel Creek, Virginia. Hijinks - as they say - ensue.

This volume continues the saga as Constance battles evil - and her own desires - in an effort to make some kind of meaning from the strange turn her life made when she turned 40.

Christine Zane Thomas - and 12 of her friends - kicked off the Paranormal Women's Fiction niche when they each released a book in the same month. All of them different takes on what happens when magic comes at midlife instead of puberty. Some of them are paranormal romance. Many - like this one - are paranormal with a romantic touch. All of them have great stories, wonderful characters, and unique takes on the one simple idea.

Magic isn't just for kids.

If you're a fan of paranormal fantasy but haven't discovered the joys of midlife magic yet, maybe grab a sample of book 1 and see what you think.

Highly recommended.
