Petra Rushmore, knows what it’s like to have destiny thrust upon you. Like 50 years ago, when she unexpectantly became a Vampire. Now she’s a pro at crafting white lies. None question her Russian accent or that Belgravia is a suburb of London, not Moscow.
Done pretending to have a fulfilling life, Petra draws a card from an enchanted tarot deck. The High Priestess, offers her the ability to make peace with her past and find true love through helping others.
When the Halloween party caterer dies in her arms, he asks her to warn his brother, Gil Maddox. He’s Petra’s Warlock ex who dumped her for perpetually lying. Doing the right thing feels decidedly overrated.
The only certainty in life, is that it’s Uncertain.
This is book fourteen in the G.R.I.T.S., Love & The Paranormal series — a clean romance that ticks every magical box.
In her mind, Jan is a modern-day Austen protagonist.
As a child, she created elaborate stories involving a pretend cattle ranch guarded by vegetarian dinosaurs and went on adventures with her stuffed teddy bear, creatively named Ted.
After getting out of college in four years (an astounding feat) she began a career in advertising and marketing. Extensive reading during work travel rekindled her imagination and her Rock, Paper, Scissors series was born. These YA Urban Fantasy books are full of action, snark and a hint of romance.
Now she writes full-time in her hometown of New Orleans. The city is its own character in her 22 book paranormal romance series. Those feature a variety of Supernatural Main Characters in search of love. An enchanted deck of tarot cards adds a unique twist to the interwoven storylines of her G.R.I.T.S. books.

Petra is a vampire of many talents. In this tale Petra gets assistance from The High Priestess of an enchanted tarot deck. She works with her ex to solve the murder of his brother and perhaps they may get a second chance at love. This is a brilliant, fast-paced tale that kept me flipping pages and rooting for Petra.
Petra is a vampire and lies for a living. That's partly because of a past she'd prefer to forget, and because she's an undercover operative. Unfortunately, lying has become second nature, tainting her personal life.
She's the latest recipient of a harbinger from the powers-that-be. This one is the High Priestess, whom Petra nicknames Diana (aka Wonder Woman, Diana Prince). And Petra can now see dead people.
This spooky ability catapults her into a double murder investigation. Her ex-lover, Gil, is drawn in. To make things more complicated, Petra would like to rekindle their relationship.
I enjoyed the blend of murder mystery and paranormal romance. Petra's survival is not a certainty; even vampires can be killed. But I won't spoil the exciting finale!
Petra tells little white lies, and some bigger ones. It caused the break up with the one she hoped to spend the future with. When they're forced to solve a mystery together, can she change, or can he, enough that they could try again? Of course, they'll need to stay alive long enough to make that decision as well. Another great addition to the G.R.I.T.S. collection. Great characters, great setting, and a fun and exciting story.
I loved Petra’s story! So fun to gain insight into each character as the series progresses! I love that the reader already knows or has heard of most of the characters so the author is able to let us know the characters in greater depth so we can truly come to know them and empathize with them. Those fully fleshed characters, paranormal features, mystery, touches of humor, and romance make this series unputdownable! These are my impressions after enjoying an advance copy of the book.
I love this kind of book!!! It's a mystery, a paranormal, it's funny, with really likable characters, and enough twists to really make it interesting. Love it!!! Petra is growing! Yea!
