Description: Newly indoctrinated witch, Defiance Dayne discovers there’s more to life after forty than she'd ever imagined possible. Especially if one is a charmling, one of only three in the world, with enough magics to make her a target for every power-hungry warlock out there. When one of them sends a hunter to town, she knows it’s time to take her talents seriously before the hunter takes her life.

She decides she has three things to do before she can die. Find out who killed her beloved grandmother, teach her BFF the finer points of spellcasting before she blows up the world, and figure out how serious her relationship with the Adonis living in her basement really is. If it’s heading in the direction she’s hoping for, she can die happy. Though, admittedly, she’d rather not. Die. Happy or otherwise.

None of that will matter, however, if she can’t figure out how to foil the supernatural assassin who’s been sent for her. Until then, it’s business—and hopefully romance—as usual. Now if she can only figure out how to tame a lacuna wolf.

I've started. The mystery of who is trying to kill (re-kill?) Ruthie continues!

Just started.

Who and How is the killer getting in without anyone seeing them or Roane picking up the scent? Does the creepy neighbor that wants Defiance and Percy gone have anything to do with it? What is in the attic?

I suspect the neighbor (Paris?) or the other witch, Ruthie's friend...Can't remember her name. It has to be someone around a lot or someone who can disguise themselves with magic.

Paris does seem to sweet. Not really sure about Ruthie's friend.

This would be an interesting house to live in...a werewolf, a witch, a ghost, an undead, and a house that's alive.

Finally found out who was doing the poisoning...(view spoiler)[If I was a witch, I would want my best friend to be a witch with me! (hide spoiler)]

Yes, a very interesting house. Poor Annette or Congrats...depending on how you look at it. First she was changed into a bird then she came into her powers...making everything poison and not knowing it. Who is casing spells on everyone?

Wow! That was a crazy ride! We learned so much. (view spoiler)[ Defiance and Roane are now bonded. Annette is a changeling who has healing and poisoning abilities, Paris and her husband were the problem all along. Paris poisoned Ruthie and messed with all those minds. (hide spoiler)] Love the creature! I enjoyed this one. Finished.

I know Paris shouldn't be trusted! (view spoiler)[And now they have a kid! I love the ghost toddler, lol (hide spoiler)]

I want to know what kind of creature Ollie is. He's good to have around.

Yes, Defiance keeps adding to her family. Love Samuel! Ollie is great to have around...cleans up the bodies😜

Congrats Sheri!
