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.
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.
