Eight times a widow, Teresa Amelia Loudenberry (known as Toots) is a disgustingly rich senior citizen who is attempting to renovate her $3.8 million beach house at Malibu. Her action is driven by the need to be close to her daughter, Abby Simpson, who is now editor of the tabloid Informer. The tabloid is another of Toots's newly acquired interests, unbeknownst to her daughter. Toots' three best friends, Ida, Mavis and Sophie, are also Abby's godmothers and are invited to visit her beach home.

Each woman comes with their own set of past experiences they are endeavoring to deal with and to heal from. Supernatural awakenings are happening in the master bedroom, which causes the four women to perform séances. Confronting the celebrity ghosts begins a new phenomenon for all the women. Abby, struggling to compete with the more popular tabloids, is hoping to find that "exclusive" story that will put her in strong contention with the others. These extraordinary women are not the usual "fairy godmothers" as they draw closer together while subjected to blackmail and spiritual beings.

EXCLUSIVE is another phenomenon in the Godmothers series. A very captivating and mysterious tale, it is adventuresome and exciting to read. The women are funny, witty and completely portray the "real" woman out there. The camaraderie between the women makes for a most interesting story of which I hope to have the privilege of reading the complete series.
