When Samantha takes on the job of spiritually advising Rand, an aging rocker, she does not expect to uncover a mystery that the government has covered up. That crash in Area 51? That wasn't due to government testing, but something much worse. Samantha works hard to figure out the mystery with the help of friends, especially Annagell Haggerty - a goddess/FBI agent who adds a dose of humor into the novel. The question is will the mystery be solved in time?

Samantha is a fun character. The reader knows that she is good at her job as a fake psychic. Her abilities to fool people and getting them to tell her their own secrets will come in handy with this latest mystery. She can be a little hard to connect to in the beginning of the book, but the reader will grow closer to her towards the middle of the novel.

MAGICAL ALIENATION is a fairly fast-paced adventure. The explanation behind the mystery is detailed and interesting. The Gods and Goddesses portion of the novel will make the reader laugh, bite their nails, and avidly read on. Mystery readers should look into this one.
