Ritual Elements

When I pictured turning forty, I never could have imagined this.

The college spring break crowd has descended on Crescent Bay. All our favorite haunts are overrun by half-clad, partying young people. But the friends celebrating my birthday with karaoke make even the spring-breakers look tame. Until ten o’clock anyway.

Everyone’s having a great time, until Forrest McCall takes over for the disgruntled bartender.

I have my own past with the arrogant young man. I kept his secrets – in order to keep my own.

Now that choice is coming back to haunt me. And my friends.

When Marty discovers Forrest’s body the very next day, I have to help clear them of suspicion. What happened after Forrest left his bartending shift? How did his body end up in the bay?

My fortieth birthday comes with a happier surprise too, thank goodness. A date. The first one to give me this sort of anxiety since my divorce last year. If I can just quit second guessing, this thing with David might stand a chance.

That turns out to be a pretty big if when my ex-husband calls out of the blue with news I do not want to hear.

Luckily, all is possible with the help of my friends. Because the moon garden depends on us being there when things get dark…and the shadows are creeping in. I’ve never faced a test like this before.

I’d better pass, because if I miss this date, I’ll be so mad…

Welcome to the Moon Garden Mysteries paranormal cozy mystery series, a magical blend of paranormal women’s fiction and cozy mystery for those who believe forty marks a new beginning, cats can talk (and you’d better listen), and when you’re guarding a fae portal, chocolate is a girl’s best friend.
