Staying home can be complicated, especially when everyone in town starts disappearing—and you’re to blame.
Hattie McCoy hates to admit it, but she likes her hometown of Karnak, Illinois, with its cute cafes and magical citizens. There’s only one problem; her hometown doesn’t like her. Her neighbors refuse to look her in the eye, and the town’s brooding sheriff keeps insisting she stay out of trouble. Yet, as the heir apparent to a dark Egyptian goddess, Hattie can't help it if trouble always finds her.
It’s hardly her fault that flying snakes and demons keep congregating around her. Or that her nemesis goes missing in the middle of an emergency meeting that she called to reverse a curse she might have, possibly, probably, placed on the whole town. That barely had anything to do with Hattie!
When those closest to her begin to disappear, Hattie has to put aside her differences with—and growing attraction to—the brooding sheriff to solve the mystery. And pray to Sekhmet she doesn’t have anything to do with it... this time.
Combine the hilarious charm of a cozy mystery with the spice of a slow-burn romance in this new take on a beloved genre. Join the new adventure and find yourself in small town Karnak, Illinois, solving murders and mummification!
Unlike her namesake of medieval infamy, Heloise doesn’t intend to have her midlife crisis in a nunnery. She’d rather drink 🍸 and chant in 🧚🏼♀️ rings. Born with Mississippi mud in her veins, grown "Via Chicago." Written before coffee.
With memories returning Karnak feels like home once more, if only the locals wanted Hattie to be part of the community. People disappear, and snakes appear to worship their goddess. Is Hattie as much of a victim in this or is she really the cause.
This book is non-stop “action.” The main story arc set up in the first book is resolved (which surprised me). I would love to see more of Hattie and Amory together so fingers crossed for the future.
