Midlife Curses: a Cozy Midlife Mystery With a Hint of Romance Hour Book

Constance Campbell is in crisis and not just of the midlife variety… although it’s that too.On the eve of her fortieth birthday, Constance packs up her life and drives across the country in search of a fresh start. A true square-one kind.Creel Creek, Virginia, looks like the perfect hideaway. It’s tiny, tucked in the middle of nowhere, and it’s the last place either of her ex-husbands would think to look for her. What better place to hide than a town so small it isn’t mentioned on a map?After all, she’s desperate.Desperate enough to move in with the grandmother she hasn’t seen since childhood. A grandmother who casually announces—somewhere between a cup of coffee and a remark about the bags under Constance’s eyes—that their family comes from a long line of witches. And on her fortieth birthday, Constance will be blessed with powers of her own. Happy birthday to her.As it turns out, Gran isn’t the only witch in town. Creel Creek may look quaint, but it’s crawling with things that go bump in the night. Things that howl. Things that drink blood and steer clear of the sun.The real trouble begins when one of those things turns up dead—the town’s resident vampire, no less.The local sheriff, a widowed single dad with a weirdly attractive mustache, suspects something sinister. Someone, or something, is targeting the town’s supernatural citizens.Including newly-minted witches like Constance.The Witching Hour is for you if you like:Mysteries set in a small townCozy FantasyWitches, shifters, vampires, and lesser-known mythical creaturesSarcastic octogenarians, fierce friends, and fearsome foesSlow-burn romanceMidlife problems (curses)References to the Eighties and NinetiesPunny chapter titles
