Going to Hell is easy. Going back home is a different story.

They say you can never go back. I wish that was the case.

Returning home is complicated when you’re a necromancer and your hometown is the Most Haunted  in America. It doesn’t help that your pet hellhound chihuahua thinks the place is a dump, and it gets worse when your high school crush is still there and still dead sexy. Literally, as he’s now a ghost.

Oh, and did I mention that I have to save the world? I tell you, going to Hell is easy.

My Review

My Rating: 5 Stars
Consider liking my review on Goodreads.

I was granted complimentary access to Hex Marks the Spot in conjunction with Lola’s Blog Tours. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

Honestly, I think the only thing I need to tell you to spark interest in this book is “hellhound chihuahua.” I’ll elaborate by commenting that he’s extremely sassy!

We’ve got small-town politics, a classic hoaky paranormal investigating TV show that the crew and producers think is fake but a ton of it’s actually real, and that plucky little pocket-sized hellhound named Pookie. Yes, Pookie. Hex Marks the Spot is a effortlessly comical short read and it really does its job as book one of a series well. I absolutely must know was Claire and Pookie are going to get up to next!

If you like paranormal mysteries that aren’t too straight-laced, this is a must read!

About the Author

I’m a USA Today bestselling author of paranormal romantic comedy and cozy mystery (whew, that’s a mouthful!) set in Banshee Creek, Virginia, The Most Haunted Town in the USA. My books feature feisty, irrepressible heroines dealing with a host of paranormal critters (ghosts, cryptids, pagan gods…the sky’s the limit) and mysteries. They find love and laughter (and sometimes corpses) along the way, and readers get to follow them every step of the way.

I love quirky towns with spooky stories, and, thanks to my books, I get to “live” in one year-around. In real life I live in a Virginia suburb (which is sadly lacking in ghosts) with my husband, three children, two cats, and one adorable dog.
