A dark curse. A secret in the woods. A twisted tale of revenge. When revenge is served by an angry witch, you'd better run! Tempest Crypt embarks on a new murder mystery when Izzie, a member of her team at Cloven Hoof, becomes a suspect in the murder of Serath Duckle, a former boyfriend. The angels are following red herrings and lousy lines of inquiry, before turning their attention to the pastel-colored loving Puddles Lavern after her nephew, Dewey, is also killed. Although Tempest can't believe Puddles is capable of murder, she's determined that Izzie won't be blamed for these strange deaths, deaths that involve shallow graves in the forest and a powerful curse. Tempest's on-again off-again boyfriend, Rhett Blackthorn, gets involved when a member of his gang is taken in for questioning. Rhett begs for Tempest's help to prove his gang member's innocence, but she's reluctant. Whenever Tempest spends too much time with Rhett, old feelings emerge, and she can't risk her heart on this moody fallen angel. Then Rhett goes missing, followed by Axel Shadowsoul. Tempest begins to panic. Where are they? Could they be the curse killer’s next victims? Time is not on her side, and Tempest must find her friends before it's too late. With Wiggles misbehaving, Frank, her ever-present unhelpful demon causing trouble, and her sister, Aurora falling for an ancient warlock with a dodgy past, Tempest is torn between whom to help. It's time for Tempest to choose between friendship and love. Which way will she turn, and will she live to regret it? Join Tempest, Wiggles and the cast of fun characters in the third book of the Crypt Witch cozy paranormal mystery series. Enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of mystery pie as you figure out who's behind the murders.
Author

K.E. O’Connor is the author of the Witch Haven mystery series, the Crypt Witch cozy mysteries, the Lorna Shadow ghost mysteries, the Holly Holmes baking mysteries, the Zee Town paranormal cozy series, and the Old Sarum mystery series, along with other titles available if you cast the right spell. She can imagine dragons, taste cookies when they aren’t even there, and hear the crack of a witch’s broom at a hundred paces. K.E. (the K stands for Karen) lives in the United Kingdom (it isn’t very united, but that’s a mystery for another time) among the mystical stones and fairy creatures of Somerset. She graduated from the Universities of Southampton and Reading, where she received degrees in Archaeology and Cognitive Evolution (both highly entertaining to take part in, but with the career options of a ground witch’s toe bone.)
