About this eBook

A reluctant medium, an entitled ghost, and a dead body at the bottom of the stairs.

Suri Mudge is having a bad day.

Plagued by headaches and with an attitude to match, Surly — as she’s known to the odd-ball locals in her Oregon Coast community — stumbles across a murder victim while out for a stroll. Strange things are common in Naghatune Bay, but this is the first murder by magick, though the straight-laced deputy sheriff isn’t convinced. Suri assists with the investigation while juggling her teahouse and bookshop business, an arrogant spirit who’s not eager to cross over, and a displaced kitchen witch who’s just trying to help.

But nothing goes according to plan, and then Suri finds herself in the killer’s sorcery sights.

Crooked Curse is the first book in the new Haunted Coast paranormal cozy mystery series, set in the same universe as the Rune Witch urban fantasy books.

I really enjoyed the characters, they are very easy to become involved with. The plot is also very original, a mystery that remains unsolved to the end is so rare. A medium (whose migraines may or may not be tied to her abilities),a ghost (who may or may not be afraid to move on),and a young witch make an intriguing trio of crimebusters. Definitely worth the time investment. You won't be disappointed.

Loved the book. All things magickal come to those who need it. Well written and quite hilarious at times. Made me smile and giggle.

About the author

Jennifer Willis loves tales of magickal mayhem, unlikely adventure, and playful intrigue.

She is the author of the Norse-themed Rune Witch urban fantasy series and the MARS science fiction romance series. She is also the writer behind the (sadly discontinued) Northwest Love Stories feature in The Oregonian and has a byline in the British Fantasy Award-winning Women Destroy Science Fiction from Lightspeed, named one of NPR’s best books in 2014.

An amateur backyard astronomer and avid collector of backpacks, she lives in Oregon with her dude, an unruly quartet of cats, and possibly a family of raccoons residing under the house.
