Demon Amulet

by Margo Carey

Twenty-eight-year-old Lia Ferguson never expected a wedding to turn deadly, but when magic kills one guest and critically injures another, the celebration morphs into a crime scene. Using skills inherited from her Templar ancestors, Lia saves the injured man, then contacts her Clan.
Together, they capture the killer and confiscate a stolen amulet with deadly magical powers, but trouble follows. An angry warlock tracks his stolen property, and Aiden, the handsome but suspicious brother-in-law of the murder victim, confronts Lia.
Amid the escalating tension, Lia ‘s mistrust of Aiden is as strong as her undeniable attraction. As their connection deepens, so does the peril they face. They must stop the warlock before he unleashes a demonic force into the world.
The Amulet is a heart-pounding tale where trust is a luxury, love is a risk, and magic is the ultimate weapon.

Demon Amulet delivers a thrilling blend of mystery, romance, and supernatural intrigue, anchored by a fierce heroine with ancient bloodlines and modern grit. When a wedding turns fatal, Lia Ferguson is thrust into a whirlwind of magical violence and ancestral duty. Her Templar heritage gives her the edge to save lives and hunt down a killer—but the danger doesn’t end there.
The stolen amulet at the heart of the story pulses with dark power, drawing in a vengeful warlock and unraveling secrets that Lia’s Clan must face together. The tension escalates with the arrival of Aiden, a brooding and enigmatic figure whose connection to the victim—and to Lia—adds emotional complexity to the chase.
Authoritatively paced and rich with atmosphere, Demon Amulet explores the cost of loyalty and the peril of desire. Lia’s internal struggle between mistrust and attraction makes her journey all the more compelling, while the looming threat of demonic forces keeps the stakes high.
A gripping read for fans of magical thrillers and romantic suspense, this story proves that sometimes the most dangerous weapon isn’t magic—it’s the truth.

Fast-Paced, Fierce, and Full of Templar Secrets
Margo Carey’s Demon Amulet is a pulse-pounding entry in the Watcher Clan series, where ancient Templar secrets, modern-day threats, and supernatural powers collide. Inspired by the mysterious stone tower in Newport’s Touro Park and whispered legends of the Knights Templar, Carey has crafted a world that feels both deeply rooted in history and thrillingly fresh.
The story follows a new generation of Watchers—descendants of the Templars—tasked with protecting their ancestors’ treasure and shielding the world from dark forces. In Demon Amulet, that mission takes a darker turn as an ancient evil resurfaces, testing the boundaries of loyalty, legacy, and love.
Carey writes with cinematic flair, sharp pacing, and a knack for emotional tension. The characters are layered, the stakes are high, and the magic system is grounded in just enough lore to feel real. Highly recommended for fans of paranormal fantasy and paranormal romance.

Demon Amulet follows the adventures of the Watcher Clan, in an action-packed tale, fed by non-stop action and populated with diverse characters whose motives might not be exactly what first presents. What’s at the heart of this story is the concept of clan: all for one/one for all. No matter what—no matter who.
Based on a scale of 1-5, Demon Amulet merits a 5.
