Deadly Blooms
She’s a witch. He hunts killers.
Solving murders is just the foreplay.
Maggie Maxwell didn’t mean to become the town’s newest scandal.
But moving into her dead uncle’s haunted manor came with more than creaky headboards—it came with murders. Multiple. Right in her backyard.
And a six-foot-four officer, built like a wall of muscle and her filthiest desires, babysitting her like she’s breakable. He’s brooding, bossy, and overprotective—and Maggie? She’s sworn off quick flings. Especially since her love spell has a new side effect: obsessive, zombie-like exes who abandon their families just to worship the ground she walks on.
Oops.
_________
Life for Officer Graham Locke was simple. Thought he’d buried his past. But the new girl in town is the kind of trouble that unearths everything. Protecting her was supposed to be his job—not his kink. And all those years he’d spent denying the unexplainable? Yeah, they were for nothing.
Now it’s one supernatural nightmare after another.
But all he really wants—besides her—is a drink and maybe a slice of pie.

About the author
Sadie J. Foxx
2 books29 followersSadie J. Foxx writes darkish paranormal mystery romances with unhinged banter and enough emotional baggage and unhealthy coping mechanisms to warrant a trip to a therapist. When she’s not making her characters behave like the feral smut goblins they are, she’s overthinking everything, making NSFW art, and trying (but failing) to grow out her hair.

ETA ALC REVIEW
April has been the month of re-reads—some intentional and some not. Sadie J. Foxx’s Deadly Blooms falls in between; I read the book last August, but I recently listened to the soon-to-be-released audiobook.
The audiobook narration is multi-cast, performed by Dani Soleil, J.F. Harding, Caden Hart and Molly Briar. I’m incredibly picky about narrators. If I’m going to listen to something for 15 hours, I’d better enjoy their voices, right? It was my first time listening to all of the actors in Deadly Blooms, and I have to say it was fantastic. And just like the first time I read it, I didn’t want to stop.
For me, when I listen to an audiobook, I tend to absorb more of the story, and when you add great narration, you better believe I’ve blocked everything else out. Those spicy scenes with J.F. Harding’s deep voice as Graham certainly had me blushing several times.
Deadly Blooms has amazing banter, fast-paced Haunted House action, and demonic possession. Readers follow Maggie, a witch who typically uses her powers to lure her true love to her—unsuccessfully. She gets love advice from her deceased Uncle. Things get complicated when she meets Graham, a cop she starts to fall for. Maggie is not easy, but she is a load of fun! Never mind that there’s some work hazard in being with her, like being possessed by evil entities.
Graham is quite complex and struggles with an emotional history, which definitely pulled on my heartstrings.
Be prepared for a cliffhanger, though. Book 2, Pretty Dead Blooms, is Coming Soon!
Thank you to Author Sadie J. Fox for the gifted ALC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
BOOK REVIEW 9/2025
Don’t be daunted by the length of this book. Readers won’t even realize that it’s as long as it is. The characters are incredibly developed. Sadie knows what readers want, as she hooked me from the first page. I knew I wasn’t putting the book down. Deadly Blooms is not all banter dialogue, though this is written quite well. The story has fantastic, fast-paced Haunted House and demonic possession action.

Graham is not just the grumpy cop; his past emotionally weighs on him. And the way Sadie writes it got me quite verklempt.
As the story built up to a cliffhanger, many thoughts and feelings swirled through my mind. I can’t tell you how excited I am for Book 2. It will be a top priority to read for sure!

What the heck kind of ending was that!? I mean she warned us it wasn’t an hea, but that cliffhanger was on another level of emotional damage. Let’s back up a little, this book started off hot! When her estranged Uncle leaves her his estate, she wants to make a fresh start and decides to move from Ohio to Port Grey, Massachusetts. Maggie has always been the outcast, even in her family, especially when she started to get into witchy things. When dead bodies start piling up she’s their number one suspect. She’s not even in town a day and someone is out to get her. Graham is the cop assigned to her night watch. Since the first time they met there was instant attraction with sizzling chemistry and great banter. This is a flirty and filthy slow burn with a spicy payoff. To help solve the mystery behind the killings, her new friend Katie suggests a seance to talk with her dead Uncle Silas. Things go haywire when Graham is possessed by her Uncle and something much darker lurking in the shadows. This is a detailed and mysterious puzzle leading to a macabre and grotesque picture created by the killer who is after power from magical bloodlines, like Maggie’s. I loved the amateur sleuthing with the deliciously overprotective cop, Maggie’s witchy friend and a hacker/paranormal investigator. The ghost of Uncle Silas, the aunts, and of course her cat Chester were great additions to the crazy cast of side characters. This was an epic third act break up, so heartbreaking and no resolution! I better see some major groveling for the way at Graham acted. Even though he’s hurting and feeling things for Maggie he thought he’d never be able to again, he will need to grovel and grovel some more.

A Few Favorite Quotes:
“There was something about the way her eyes glittered when she told us to basically f*€k off that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Like she could shank me and I’d apologize for bleeding.”
“You sure you know what you’re asking for? I’m nothing but bad decisions wrapped in regrettable tattoos, layered with trauma and tied to a stick of dynamite. With great $ex. It’s like playing roulette with someone’s red flags.”
“Because she was f*€king beautiful—not just her body, but the grit and the life under it, the fire in her chest. The way she looked at me like I was a puzzle worth solving, even if half the pieces were missing.”
“Max,” I said, voice low and sure, “as long as I’m around, you’re gonna know your smile’s godd@mn beautiful.”
“God, are we a thing? Because if we’re not, someone really needed to explain why my uterus threw f*€king confetti every time he looked at me.”

I really enjoyed the book, but some of the spice scenes left me baffled, especially the one with the marble statue. Wtf was that about? Aside from this, it was such a great read. And the ending… I’m counting the days until the second book comes out!

This is definitely one of my top books so far this year! It's not a small book, but kept me interested and entertained throughout! Great spice, mystery and that witchy/paranormal element made for an amazing story! You will follow the FMC as she moves to a new town, who almost immediately gets thrown into a whirlwind mess as a murder has landed right on her doorstep. But what better way to find out who did it than to team up with a hot cop, who is battling his past and isn't interested in woman beyond a physical 1 night fling. You never know where love may bloom, even covered in ectoplasm! Lots of triggers.
I can't wait for book 2!

Cautionary tale this book is not intended for those with weak bladders.
Magic, paranorma, and hot $ex, as a reader could I ask for anything more? Maggie is the best FMC that I have read in a long time. She’s hilarious and sassy and all things strong. Paired with the back story of Graham this is the perfect emotional story with the perfect comic relief.

"Hard to stay horny when your mind was flooded with the lives you'd wrecked with magic because you wanted a quick f♡ck."
This was a very fun read!
I will warn you that there was a lot of crying in the last few chapters, no HEA between the MCs, and a cliffhanger, but I can’t wait for the next part!
So this might be the second-longest book I've read, but it's all worth it! There is so much plot, that it doesn't ever seem dragged out or boring. There is a TON of sexual tension between Maggie and Graham, which I felt frustrated for them myself! 😆
Maggie is a Sassy Witch who uses magic for hookups, she decides she wants something real. She gets her chance to start over when her Uncle Silas leaves her his house in Port Grey Mass. She's a mom to a cat named Chester.
Graham is a cop trying to make detective with a lot of past trauma, and he doesn't do relationships or feelings. He reminds me a lot of Dean Winchester from Supernatural, down to the love of food, and his flirty demeanor. Chester's first meeting with him is hilarious, their relationship reminds me of Josh and Fred from Lights Out.
They first met when her neighbor's dog found a body in her yard, and their murder mystery begins! It's a wild ride, especially with the side characters Katie, Derek, Uncle Silas, and Chester.

If you like books with a supernatural / witchy touch, a lot of good spice and incredible murder mystery plot, then make sure you add Deadly Blooms to youe tbr.
This book is so good! One of my favourite reads of the year so far.
I was hooked from page one. We have a badass witch moving to a new town, a sexy cop with a traumatic past, a couple of characters also linked to the supernatural, a very cute cat, and did I forget to mention ghosts?? Oh and a murderer on the loose.
I don't want to say any more because I think it's better to go into this one blind, but if any of this sounds like your kind of thing then please give this book a go. You won't regret it.

Deadly Blooms is a paranormal mystery murder story, with banter, many plot twists, and that ending.. no Sadie, i don't hate you, but why, lol. I can't wait for the next book.
Maggie, the witch, never had anyone truly loved here and has her own baggage from the past. When she inherited the house from her uncle Silas, she moved to his house in hopes of a new life so that she could leave her old life and habits behind her and start over. She definitely found a new life, but it's not what she imagined.
I loved Graham, the cop, strips for charity, does not play by the rules, and with a lot of baggage from the past, he always tried to ignore by using alcohol and meaningless f*cking.
But then Maggie (Max) happened to him, and he can't ignore the past anymore.
I won't tell to much you just need to read this one, the book is long and do to my vacation it took me some time to finish it, but it is definitely worth it in the end.
Thank you, Sadie, for this book and looking forward to the next one.

This book was absolutely incredible. I couldn’t get enough of the story. I’m obsessed with Maggie and Graham. I cannot wait for book 2 to come out. Maggie has so much growth from the beginning of the story to the end. I love the fact that they both were emotionally unavailable in the beginning and still found each other. I am completely wrecked with the ending. Book two needs to come out tomorrow.
September 2, 2025
Give me book 2 RIGHT NOW! How could you do this 😭😭 Infinite fucking ⭐️’s!!!! This was beyond perfect!
I laughed, cried, gasped, raged and giggled. When I tell you I was left speechless and went through all the emotions that exist, I mean it.
This had it all. The thrill, the mystery, the drama, the shock, the twists, the comedy, the romance, the horror, the slow burn… I literally have NO words on how amazing this book is 🙌
The vibes were immaculate. Gothic, spooky, occult and witchy… The characters are over 30, the writing and details were phenomenal. I truly have no words. You NEED to read this. Now. And me??? I NEED the second book immediately 😩

Just wow! I can’t explain how perfectly cast these narrators were! Every one of them had the perfect voice for their characters! It truly felt like they were each embodying their characters, every feeling, thought, emotion and drama was felt down to my soul by these guys! They were acting out the story like they were living it! And when it came to the spicy scenes…. Phwaaaaaar ! Normally I can just listen straight through but my god, I had to pause and go somewhere private for those bits as I was flushing! Seriously, standing ovation for each of you!
🌍 𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕 𝕓𝕦𝕚𝕝𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘, 𝕨𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕘:
Everything about this story was brilliant, the writing style was detailed but simple and smooth, the pacing was perfect and steady with no lulls, and the world building was haunting, foreboding, spooky, mystical and very suited to the story.
I loved the bakery she worked at and I loved her new house. I loved the move and the new town vibes and scenery, and then there’s the very spooky woods!
The steam and the banter were the best bits of this book (I nearly said film then because it felt that clear and emotional)
The characters sense of humour was pure brilliance! Dark, witty, sarcastic and raunchy with unending chemistry between all of them! You feel deeply for the characters right away, whether that’s love or hate the feeling is strong either way!
🧝♂️ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤:
Ok so the characters were incredible, I loved- and loved to hate, each one.
I really appreciated the instant bff vibes between the Maggy and Katie, I loved Katie’s dress sense and hair style and her high, bold energy.
Actually all the side characters were brilliant! The aunts, the police chief, and even the ghost detective were all well written and layered people.
I didn’t like a few things, how the uncle was warning her off one minute to then fully flip and f c u k her best mate before freeing help and then also I couldn’t wrap my head around his intentions with the possession-was he being evil or biding his time, was he working on some plan? It just didn’t fully make sense to me so became less understandable and believable for the character.
🪧𝔽𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕝 𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙𝕥𝕤:
I’m not a crime story fan, nor do I do murder mysteries, it was the rest of the tropes that drew me into this one, and I’m so glad I gave it a chance because it was great! The murders were a part of the story but not the main theme which left plenty of room for wild chemistry and spice, wild friends and even wilder paranormal activity.

⭐️ DNF
⭐️⭐️
I managed to finish it but it was rubbish. I won't keep a physical copy and won't recommend it, but it's a shame as the plot could have made a good book in another author's hands
⭐️⭐️.5
It was OK. I wish I didn't start this one as it didn't do it for me as I struggled to read it. It had an interesting premise that fell flat but I had to see what happened in the end.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I don't regret reading it, and I will read the next one, but this one did have a few flaws. [These could be repetitive writing, gaps or plot holes, better character growth or world building, areas needing more detail]
Generally, the book lacked depth and became confusing. The plot resonated with me even though it annoyed me on the whole.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I'm glad I read it. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to the right people, but I wanted more! Sadly, it's easily forgettable with a few issues I just couldn't overlook/get past.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good book! I loved it, but... I needed more! I really did enjoy it, but it had a few parts that needed more detail or added history/background or lore. But that's because the story or characters were memorable, and the plot was strong with brilliant twists. I would re-read if I needed to catch up for the next book and would recommend.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Great book! I truly wish the story had been thought about more, or the author had been given more time as this book is so close to brilliance! I will likely read again and will definitely be recommending it to all!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WOW! Absolutely amazing book! Well written with great characters and a plot so memorable that it will stay with me. I will definitely read this again, I will be recommending it and sharing it with the whole world! Also- I NEED A PHYSICAL COPY!
🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥
This is my God level tier. The book must be perfectly memorable. Even after reading 50+ more books, I will remember character names and emotions along with the plot. If there is a special edition, then I need to own it! If there is a conversation on books- I'm talking about this!
SPICE SCALE:
🌶️– segsual language and a little on-page action
🌶️🌶️– a lot of segsual language and some on-page open door action, may be occurring a couple of times
🌶️🌶️🌶️– a lot of explicit action and dirty talk, occurring frequently with 2/3 lurvers
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ – super graphic and explicit, occurring 4 or more times, can be more grey and taboo themed.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ – Kinks and Fet!shism, explicit and super graphic. It is likely to be tushy play, toys, playrooms, and more dark / taboo fantasies and realities.

Witchy, Wicked, and Absolutely Addictive!
Deadly Blooms by Sadie Foxx is a sexy, spellbinding thrill ride from the very first page. Maggie Maxwell is the kind of heroine you instantly root for—sarcastic, powerful, and constantly attracting chaos (and the occasional zombie ex). Her haunted inheritance is the perfect backdrop for a string of murders, magical mishaps, and one gloriously grumpy cop who can’t seem to stay away.
Enter Officer Graham Locke: tall, tortured, and tasked with protecting the town’s newest scandal. His chemistry with Maggie practically scorches the pages. Every interaction is dripping with tension, banter, and just enough danger to keep things deliciously unpredictable.
This story blends murder mystery, steamy romance, and paranormal twists flawlessly. With haunted houses, obsessive love spells gone wrong, and a slow-burn that absolutely delivers, Deadly Blooms is a must-read for anyone who likes their romances dark, their magic a little messy, and their heroes armed and brooding.
Can’t wait to see what kind of trouble Maggie stirs up next

Imagine if Ghost Whisperer and Sabrina the Teenage Witch collided—then threw in a broody, hunky stripper-turned-police-officer in a quirky small town.
You’ve got witchcraft, murders, possessions, ghosts… and ghosting!
Maggie is a sassy, no-nonsense FMC with a sharp wit and a past that would break most people—but she carries it all like a boss. And Graham? His backstory is an emotional rollercoaster I didn’t see coming.
I need Book 2 like… yesterday!

This was such a good read! I might be in love with Graham! Maggie definitely grew into herself as the story went on. That ending pissed me off in a good way haha, but I need book 2 NOW!

OK, I normally don’t write reviews unless it’s for a book I rate below three stars to say why. But I’m making an exception today because I really enjoyed the story and the authors writing, and sadly I don’t feel like it has enough reviews or recognition for the quality of work this book is. Honestly, I feel like this could be like the next BookTok sensation.
So without giving any spoilers, I will just say that the characters are compelling, the plot is complex - the overarching plot of the book, plus the interpersonal relationships between characters, and this is a romance, so of course there is some well written spice.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, enough to give it four stars, which is a high rating for me personally. I am so upset that the next book doesn’t release until July!

Paranormal
Slow burn
Witchy vibes
Suspenseful
Non HEA
Dual POV - 1st person
Duet Multicast narration - JF Harding, Dani Soleil, Molly Briar, Caden Hart
FANTASTIC! There is no other word to describe the performance by these narrators, just purely fantastic.
This is a long one but worth every dang minute of story. It gives a little bit of practical magic witchy vibes. Small town mystery, possession, witchy stuff, and spicy. Everytime I thought I had the things figured out the plot would twist, when I thought it was coming to a conclusion it still had hours to go and it got twisty and had me captivated for the entire book. I have not read Sadie J Foxx before but wow her writing is phenomenal. If you are a fan of paranormal, mystery, and want you spice with a hell of a plot then this one is for you!

Disclosure: I received an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) of this book in exchange for an honest review. As someone who loves supporting indie authors, I always aim to share thoughtful, fair feedback. While I have personal reading preferences like a love for fantasy, horses, or specific tropes, I never let that impact my rating unless it is relevant to the book’s intent or audience. I review with the genre and readership in mind.
Star rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Excuse me gentlepeople, what on smoking good goddamn earth did I just read? I had to replan my entire spice rating for this book and I am not exaggerating. I am baffled. How do I even write about the rollercoaster this book put me on?
I annotated Deadly Blooms book like never before. The jokes, the plot, the spice, I was just leaving bookmarks and notes all over the book in a very VERY very good way. I am serious when I say DON'T ask me to choose a favorite quote because you will make my brain explode, I will cry, I will scream then faint.
Please for the love of smokey holy cows read the trigger warning novel (yes it is that long) before you jump into this story, I care for your sanity even if I want everyone to read this book so badly.
Just imagine the most unhinged plotline written ever, that actually makes sense and is entertaining, take it and multiply it with 10 and you get Deadly Blooms. Supernatural, murder mystery, spice and lots of exorcism included. It put me into a massive book hangover that feels like something I will never recover from, which apparently was expected as the book finished with the authors note: "Please don't hate me too much. Book 2 is coming!" What do you mean coming??? I need it like yesterday! How will I move on with my life without the next book? What will I even do??? I also loved the about the author notes... They wrote "darkish"... I repeat, "DARKISH" romance. What do you mean darkish? How does something go darker than this? What is in Book 2??? I am addicted to Sadie J. Foxx now, for a lifetime and it is maddening to wait. I am going to take a sauna with holy water to cleanse from the inside and outside (not that it will help).
An amazing quote from the book (again, impossible to choose favorite, my copy looks like a hedgehog from Temu with all the annotations):
"I wanted to ride a pressure washer filled with bleach and holy water while a priest blessed my cooter with health and vitality."

📍ARC Review
It took me a little longer than usual to read the book, but a book with so many pages (which we love) deserves to be read slower for greater enjoyment.
Without a doubt, this book leaves me with mixed feelings. Some are good, and others I simply don't know how to describe.
The characters are unique and have a way of looking at life that could be described as rather peculiar. I want to be honest and tell you that at first I did find it a little difficult to connect with the FMC; there were a couple of occasions where I wondered why she acted the way she did or why she did what she did. However, as I delved deeper into the story, I saw the reasons behind her actions. I don't excuse her, but I understand her a little better now.
If someone is looking for a sexy, tall MMC in uniform... Meet Graham. What a man. He said “hello” and won me over, flaws and all, but what a man.
Both characters have unique qualities, somewhat traumatic experiences, and yet an attraction that can be felt on every page from their first encounter.
📍 Do I recommend it? ?
Yes, I recommend it! It's a book that, despite being long (we're talking 638 pages), has something that simply hooks and possesses you so that you can't put it down until you've finished it.
If you're looking for a paranormal romance with mystery, spells, characters who embrace the paranormal and others who simply refuse to accept it, this is the book for you!

Yall. I need to collect my emotions for a minute. I remember reading this when I received it as an ARC and devouring every bit of it within a couple of days. It’s been 8 months and 23 days. 266 days. 38 Weeks. 6,384 hours. This book has lived in my head, taunting me for that long—and now that I have HEARD it come to life by these amazing voice narrators—it’s consuming every thought in my head. I can’t tell you the amount of times I gasped, laughed, whisper shouted “OH MYs”, and cried—and yes, I did cry (again). Listening to this was absolutely phenomenal. Each one of the narrators did such an amazing fucking job. Dani Soleil as Maggie, J.F. Harding as Graham, Molly Briar and Caden Hart as the side characters throughout—every single line, every single scene—you felt like you were physically apart of the book. There were moments that when I heard the lines being voiced—it gave me literal goosebumps and some of the other scenes made me blush like crazy. Being immersed into this world again with audio made me feel like I was reading it for the very first time and that feeling is honestly indescribable. The emotions I had hearing the world and characters come to life hit me harder than I anticipated. It was an absolute rollercoaster and I fucking loved every second. I don’t think I can scream from the mountains loud enough about this novel and the audiobook. This was a fucking masterpiece. I’m so unbelievably proud of Sadie J. Foxx for creating such an incredible and rememberable story and sharing it with us. And choosing the most perfect voice narrators to make it truly come to life. This will forever be a repeat novel for me. Whether reading or listening. This will always, always be a favorite. Prepare to have your earholes thoroughly entertained.

I received this as an early listener copy and I am ecstatic I got to be apart of it. Thank you Sadie!

**Check Trigger Warnings**
Excuse me while I go into a book coma for however long I have to wait until the second book comes out. I need to gather my soul after that emotional rollercoaster I just endured. Where do I even begin?! I was hooked immediately from the very first sentence of the first chapter. Maggie’s unfiltered personality was extraordinary. And I immediately loved every bit of it. The main characters throughout—Maggie, Graham, Derek, Katie, Chester, Silas, all of them— were truly created with absolute astonishing energy. This entire book held onto my breath and soul. I laughed out loud, I giggled, I questioned my sanity, I said WHAT THE FUCK more times than I remember, my heart broke, I cried (a little). The story I just obsessively read, was something so unique and something so special, that I’m never going to forget it. This was so compelling and I cannot stop thinking about it. A book (series) that is going to consistently live rent free in my head for the rest of days and even in the afterlife. There was magic, heartbreak, ghosts, murder, mystery, thrills, spice, banter, new friends, a hot cop and the little fur ball kitten—everything I could ever dream of. And it was done so effortlessly. This is forever going to be a favorite of mine. It truly was phenomenal and I can’t wait to go back and reread it again. And again. This is the type of book that you buy in multiple copies and display proudly on your shelves as the magical piece it is. If you want to dive into the world of the paranormal, romance, heartbreak, murder mystery and so much more—read this. You will regret nothing. I know I don’t.

I cannot thank the author ENOUGH for allowing me to receive an ARC. I will scream from the rooftops about this book for as long as I can. THANK YOU @sadiejfoxx

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up to 4 ⭐️ for Graham
".. at thirty-six, most folks have some idea where their life's headed. But you? Not you, dear. You like to take life by the horns.. and then let it steer."
This was a too-fast paced witchy paranormal soap opera. The amount of drama stuffed into one book was outrageous. Most of the smaller plot happenings seemed to be piled ontop of one another which made this feel like you were reading it at 2x speed.
Maggie is escaping her past of magically convincing men to sleep with her (yes, you read that right. She even calls them 'victims') , and ends up meeting Graham, who makes his hookups seem like a catch and release fishing system. They both have their own issues and problematic pasts which is relatable. I also appreciated they were both over 30, that was a nice change of pace from most other novels. However, the way that both of them act at different times in the book, considering that they are 30 is rather appalling. Maggie seems to jump to fast conclusions and have an angry streak, even at her closest friends. And Graham is an expert at secrets. There were also a lot of .. innovative spicy scenes, one of which was quite shocking and just not for me. I pushed through but they just kept getting weirder and not for the better in my opinion.
The secondary characters like Katie, Derek, Silas and even The Aunts were more interesting to me then Maggie. Graham took the cake though; I wanted to know everything about him, his motivations, likes and dislikes.
At around 75% I lost interest, despite it being the ramp up to the ending, I was just getting overwhelmed with the saga that had already gone on. Perhaps this should have been 2 books instead. Due to the spelling errors, grammatical errors and even some scene dynamics that did not make sense, I found myself drifting off. If I read the words papasan, Good Girl or Pretty Girl, one more time I probably would have given up and not finished the book. They were very, very overused.
If you want an overly dramatic paranormal witchy mystery book that keeps you on your toes, and don't mind it being a long read, try this one out.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Deadly Blooms is pure chaos in the best was possible, and I loved every minute of it. The plot was wild and unpredictable, the kind of story you can't put down because you just have to see what antics come next. It blends so many elements seamlessly: magic, paranormal activity (hello ghosts), lots of steamy moments, laugh-out-loud banter, and plenty of mystery with action. This is one of those books that readers will remember for all the right reasons.
Maggie Maxwell and Officer Graham Locke are larger than life leads. Their tension practically steamed off the page, their banter had me in stitches, and their chemistry was instantaneous. Then supporting cast, Dexter, Uncle Silas, Katie, and the delightfully quirky aunts, Clover and Ruby, added so much richness and humor to the story. And then there's Chester the cat, who absolutely stole the show. He was purrfect in every single scene.
This book was the perfect way to kick off the start of the spooky season, equal parts fun, steamy, and a little eerie.

"Silas,my man. What's new in the world of the dead?"
"Because love -- real love -- was a risk. And I wanted someone who'd take that risk for me. Someone who'd see the mess I was, and the mess they were, and still choose me."
I devoured this book!! Well over a 600 page book read in 5 days in-between everything else I had going on 😅 Every opportunity I was reading this!
Gonna leave some Cryptic comments so as not spoil anything lol
💫Graham - this dude has some serious trauma but my god I loved him and I hurt for him. His scenes with Chester had me swooning ... it was adorable!! 😍
💫Maggie - this woman was badass and I really liked how she progressed through the book ... kinda 😅🤣
💫Chester - Erghhh Chester 😍 that is all ... you will need to read it to find out 🤣
💫Silas - This dude erked me at times but I grew to love him too - Mr I'm watching you 👀👀
💫The side characters were hilarious too and I cant wait for more!!
That ending had me ranting at Sadie though 🤣🤣 .... I am NOT a happy girlie but it was still a 5* 😅
I have really enjoyed this story with its Ghosts, Witches and .... ectoplasm... stuff 🤣 I was laughing out loud so much!

Not going to lie, this was a much longer read than I thought it would be! Not because it was bad, the story actually flowed really well and there was so much witty banter, I was ridiculously entertained. It was just a much larger book for me. It's also only book one in the Psychic Unraveled series. There is no HEA between the love interests and this does end in a cliffhanger so you have been warned.
It reminded me a little of the shenanigans from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but everyone is grown and the consequences to magic use can be a lot more deadly. There was such a flair for the dramatics at every point and I gasped and chuckled way too many times to keep track. I mean, we start with Maggie literally moving because she promises she's never use a love spell again and yet proceeds to have one last hurrah before she leaves haha.
I will say, pay attention to the trigger warnings. If you want to read this story, you definitely want to be comfortable with most things. This book is spicy, tensions are high really frequently. With all that said, it is still a bit of a slow burn. There's plenty of build up to the smut which was a nice change of pace where the character are insta lust but not insta love.
All in all an enjoyable read, would recommend for those who love witchy antics, murder mysteries, hot detectives, a little ghost action, and many more similar themes.

ARC Review:
Older Main Characters✔️ Magic✔️ Mystery ✔️
Cats✔️ Bird lover ✔️Spicy ✔️
This book checked all the boxes for me.
Maggie is a 36-year-old bakery assistant who has spent her love life using magic to charm guys into fulfilling a physical need.
After she inherits her dead uncle's manor and has to move from Ohio to Massachusetts she swears off using magic for sex.
The best way to make an impression is for a dead body to turn up in her yard the day she arrives in town.
Enter sexy, magnetic, 43-year-old cop, Graham, who just wants to make detective and drown his past in one-night stands.
Maggie and Graham have an instant connection as he tries to keep her safe and solve the mystery surrounding Maggie and her uncle.
Can they solve the crime, stay alive, and fill the space the other is missing?
Magic, seances, ghost possessions, and ectoplasm ejaculations.
I laughed and I held my breath with suspense and heartache. I loved the characters and that it wasn't just about their relationship.
I cannot wait for the next book!

This book was such a blast to read!
Heads up—there are some heavy emotional moments toward the end, no neat happy ending yet, and yes… a cliffhanger! But honestly, that just makes me even more excited for the sequel. The pacing was fantastic. It’s a chunky book, but it never felt slow or like it dragged. There’s always something happening—mystery, action, humor—and a whole lot of tension between the two leads that had me rooting for them the whole way. Maggie is a sharp-tongued witch who usually uses her magic for casual flings, but she’s finally ready for something real. When her Uncle Silas leaves her a house in Port Grey, Massachusetts, it feels like the start of a new chapter. Plus, she has her loyal cat Chester along for the ride.
Graham, meanwhile, is a cop chasing a detective promotion, carrying a lot of unresolved trauma. Relationships aren’t his thing, and he tends to keep people at arm’s length.
A mix of romance, mystery, and magic—it kept me hooked all the way through!

This book sucks you in right away with the spice, but it is a chunky read!
The book follows Maggie, a found witch who is not the close with her family, but uses the magic she finds in a book. This allows her to place love spells on those around her to serve only to get her what she wants and get out before heartbreak can happen. She decides to take on a manor that was left to her in a will. Hoping for a clean start, she has no idea what she is in for.
Graham is a police officer, stripper, and avid bed hopper that is not looking for anything serious, but when bloody knife and a body show up on Maggie’s property hours after she comes into town, he is drawn to her.
Be prepared for a wild ride in this one, it is a long read, but the banter is great and the book is very interesting. That ending, had me and now I cannot wait for book two, why does it have to be so far away? Cliffhangers do me in everytime!
Please watch your triggers as this book hits a lot of different things!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book (well except for the very questionable decisions of the FMC involving her partners) and am WAITING to sink my fangs into book two.
Small town paranormal witch and grumpy cop... well yes please. I cannot wait to see where this one goes and highly suggest it for those looking for a less deep spice.
*SMALL SPOILER - IMPORTANT TRIGGER WARNING*
Be warned, as of right now it does feel a bit - under delivered on some aspects, and the tendency of the FMC Maggie to essentially force "love and obsession" onto her partners without their consent (and yes, saying yes to s*x is NOT consenting to being magically enslaved, an act Maggie NEVER really seems to ACTUALLY regret or feel remorse for) has me a little put off and un-comfy. My hope is it is PROPERLY addressed as the absolutely awful act it is, but we will see. My hopes are not high.
But I hold out judgement for book two. Let's just say Maggie, wtf.
