Mystery Amateur Sleuth | Romance Paranormal | Mystery Woman Sleuth

Maggie O'Neill has a lot going on in her life. In addition to learning more about her empathic abilities, she has an awareness that the strange events going on in her small Indiana town are otherworldly. Dark energy is effecting her world in ways she's barely beginning to understand. She also has two men vying for her attention; the strong, practical sheriff, Tom, and the darkly mysterious Marcus. The current icing on the cake that's her life is her sister, Mel, who's confined to bed for the final months of her pregnancy.

Maggie hopes helping out Mel is more relaxing than recent events in her life, such as her date with Tom the night before, which took them on a police call to the local feed mill. While it appears to be someone playing a practical joke, Maggie is still left with a feeling of unease. That feeling is nothing compared to what she feels after spending the afternoon with her young nieces as she realizes the imaginary friends they're talking with are anything but imaginary. When Mel and her friends begin messing with a Ouija board, they open the door between dimensions and invite more into her home than anticipated. And when one of Mel's friend's husband is murdered, Maggie knows she and her friends from N.I.G.H.T.S. (the Northeast Indiana Ghost Hunting and Tracking Society) are going to have to get involved.

NO REST FOR THE WICCAN is the latest in Madelyn Alt's ongoing series, and her best to date. Maggie is a plucky, practical, young woman coming to grips with her abilities while dealing with the day-to-day details of her life. Supported by her friend Liss, Maggie is beginning to embrace her abilities and what she can do with them. This installment is charmingly spooky, a true page-turner that will have readers looking twice at shadows and wondering if something really is moving in the darkness, or if it's just a trick of the eye.

SUMMARY

Maggie O’Neill reluctantly volunteers to care for her bedridden, oh-so-perfect sister, Mel, but strange spirits threaten to divert her attention. Then a friend of Mel’s loses her husband to a dreadful fall, and the police call it an accidental death. Maggie’s not so sure, and sets her second sights on finding a first-degree murderer.
