Whitewitch Island #4
Drop Dead Gorgeous
A Model’s Life
“I would die, just die, for these cheekbones, darling.” The stylist’s enthusiasm gushed through his aura as much as it emerged from his mouth, his perfect set of veneered white teeth as flawless as his own makeup, hair and carefully selected hipster casual button up, vest and dark wash jeans, the single gold earring in his right ear flashing with a well-sized diamond accent. “Honestly, and these eyelashes.” He’d already finished applying a thin layer of mascara, discarding the false set someone else had handed to him while I fought my amusement, observing my transformation in the brightly lit interior of the white tent where a collection of other locals—all of us recruited for this interesting activity of what amounted to being background props for the “real” models—chattered in their own excitement while trying on items from the racks of clothing assembled behind me. “Girl, how old did you say you were? Twenty-four?”
I allowed myself a grin at last, knowing Valiant Oslo was only being sweet—much as his heavily dosed cologne. He batted his own false lashes at me, the liner he wore so flawless I had to imagine it was somehow applied without a human hand behind it. “Forty, and thank you for the compliment.”
When Georgia agreed to join her young neighbor, Holly Henry, as background for a pro photo shoot, she wasn’t expecting to have to trade her glamorous dress for a pair of gloves when one of the crew on the set dies during the session. With the victim’s nasty personality creating multiple suspects, Georgia discovers beautiful photos can hide ugly secrets. Welcome back to the Whitewitch Island Paranormal Cozies!

About the author
Patti Larsen
1,325 books560 followersI write a lot of paranormal books for someone who is afraid of the dark. And I wonder why I have to sleep with the lights on. Sometimes life is a teenaged B horror movie and I'm the one who investigates when the scary music is playing. But the voices are calling and resistance is… Yes. I am a Star Trek geek, too. And a fan of RPG’s. With a slight coolness factor since I've been told I'm allowed to join the pops.
Naw. I like being a nerdy girl :)

Imagine your loving dog being as sentient as you are, and that is the character of the Hades Hound named Benjamin. There will be no help or succor for the person that harms his "mother", Georgia. I absolutely LOVE this series, because of such unusual characters as the black and white crows and Benjamin, not to mention the ex-Inquisitor Georgia. The plot of the story is easily followed and the premise is finding out who killed the obnoxious photographer and why The answers were difficult and downright dangerous. I highly recommend this book.

Interesting storyline
Book 4 of the Whitewitch Island paranormal series finds Georgia helping solve a murder by poison. When she is almost killed during the course of the investigation, Georgia learns a few things about her magic and also about her former investigative partner Elias. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series to see where the author takes Georgia.

Twists I Did Not See Coming
This is another fine book in the series. As noted in the title, there are some twists that threw me for a loop. I am going for the next book as fast as I can, lol. Enjoy

Well written and the secrets subtly revealed. The modeling and fashion world is a Man eater thank goodness not everyone who wants to be a part of it is a monster! Absolutely love Benjamin and really afraid of what's happening with Elias!!

Great series. We learn a little more about the main character, Georgia, with each book. Also, the new friendships she makes are rapidly growing. I love Benjamin, her dog, and his unique talents and bond between Georgia and him are very evident, touching, and totally shine in this book. Very pleasant, enticing read.
