Take Zelda, (a writer with a bad case of writers’ block), Zelda’s two sisters (who are witches), Morgan, Zelda’s nosy next-door neighbor, (a journalist obsessed by the paranormal), and last of all, Moonville, Ohio, Zelda’s Magical hometown, and you have a cocktail of epic proportions!

Morgan’s persistent spying on Zelda drives her crazy. She is waiting for her True Love and Morgan is a constant impediment. She finally gives in to his demands that they go ghost hunting together, only to discover paranormal activity of a very different kind than they expected. Clues lead them ever deeper into Moonville’s traditions with surprising results.

Humorous, spooky, and with some steamy romantic chemistry, Hogel conjures an enjoyable romp through Moonville. Characters are well defined: Morgan simply oozes charm, and Zelda is ever skeptical of her town’s magical reputation. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

The publisher provided a copy of the book for review but the opinions are my own.
