About this ebook

Welcome to Lucky Valley, Colorado, where nothing is quite what it seems.

Lily Goode wasn’t aware she had an inheritance waiting for her in the form of a huge Victorian house in Lucky Valley, Colorado. Life might finally be coming together for her. That is if you don’t count the endless home repairs, dealing with eccentric Aunt Polly who claims they’re both witches, and Nolan Dawson the handsome home inspector who seems to have it out for her, then, sure, life is grand. Oh and not to mention the strange hallucinations and garden gnomes who are far more than lawn ornaments.


If mysterious accidents don’t do her in, then the rebellious gnomes just might. With the help of Aunt Polly, it’s up to Lily to discover who’s sabotaging her new home and trying to drive the Goodes out of Lucky Valley once and for all.


From NY Times & USA TODAY Bestselling Author, Michelle M. Pillow, a Cozy Mystery Paranormal Romantic Comedy.


5 Stars! "Holy HedgeWitches! This is a fab new cosy series." Nikki's Book Nook

About the (Un)Lucky Valley Series

Did you love Fooled Around and Spelled in Love, and Curses and Cupcakes by Michelle M. Pillow? Did Aunt Polly tickle your funny bone? If so, just wait until you read the next crazy adventure Aunt Polly has up her sleeve.

My two books in the Happily Everlasting series are prequels to the (Un)Lucky Valley series. Books in The Happily Everlasting Series can be read in ANY order! Series can be read in any order.

Happily Everlasting was a group project I did with three other amazing authors: Mandy M. Roth, Jana DeLeon, & Kristen Painter. (Un)Lucky Valley series is by (me) Michelle M. Pillow.

I enjoyed this book but I was really hoping for more magic and mayhem from the main characters. I loved Aunt Polly butfor some reason I really had misgivings about her through the whole book. The premis of the book is intriguing and the author did a great job of giving us a mystery to solve (I never saw it coming). The children of Marigold did not have an easy upbringing but it looks like things my be changing for them. Read the book. I am off to download book two.

4 Star review of Better Haunts & Garden Gnomes by Michelle M Pillow Audio Review: Michelle M Pillow is a relatively new author to me as is the narrator B.J. Harrison. This is a cozy mystery which was fun and entertaining. I found the narration enjoyable and easy to listen too. His voices were good and he brought the story to life for me and enhanced my enjoyment. It wouldn’t be a cozy mystery without some suspense and drama. Lily Goode hopes her luck has finally changed after inheriting a house from her estranged mother. However, strange accidents start to occur and Lily soon believes danger is coming. The secondary characters including her brother Dante, were just as engaging, particularly Aunt Polly who had me cracking up at times. A fun quick read with a few surprising twists and with enough clues to satisfy my inner detective spirit.

Nolan never meant to fall in love with Lily Goode. The plan the council had was to chase her put of town Vengeful ghosts might have a different plan Can the children of an unstable witch survive even more crazy? Can the Valley? Humorous and insightful, tragic and action packed family and small town paranormal cozy. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
