About this book

Life in Myrtlewood is never quiet, but for Rosemary Thorn and her daughter, Athena, the stakes have officially hit a boiling point. Balancing the chaotic demands of a supernatural town requires more than just a well-brewed cup of tea. While Athena navigates the pressures of school and the weight of organizing the Imbolc ritual, a ravenous, ancient darkness stirs in the forest, threatening to unravel the fragile peace of their home.

This ninth installment of the beloved witchy series leans heavily into the found-family trope that has made the Myrtlewood Mysteries a genre favorite. As vampire politics collide with fae realm mischief and the whims of grumpy deities, Rosemary and Athena are forced to confront their own vulnerabilities. It is a heartfelt exploration of the mother-daughter bond, proving that even when you are facing down world-ending threats, having your chosen family by your side makes all the difference.

If you are hunting for a paranormal read that balances high-stakes magic with the cozy, witty charm of Gilmore Girls, this is your next obsession. It is a fast-paced, humorous, and deeply human adventure where the most potent spells are cast through resilience, connection, and perhaps the occasional cocktail.

Rosemary is focused on her role in Myrtlewood along with a new beau, Burk whom is a now, um, sparkling vampire.

I enjoyed reading this book, actually the whole series was fantastic! This series was good in the beginning, had enough mystery and intriguing characters that made me want to read the next episode. The series never let me down. Each book is great. And there is a lot of wisdom included, especially on how to deal with the shadows in all our minds. Read them all! ) One person found this helpful

The author grows with the world she creates

I love this series. It needs some proofreading and an editor, but the storytelling is wonderful. The world created by this author takes on a life of its own with each book. It becomes a warm place where you learn about yourself as each character takes on more depth and becomes more fully alive. ) One person found this helpful
