My Brief Synopsis:
Zelda is a witch with a problem.  She just finished a stint in magical prison for killing her familiar by “accidentally” running him over with her car… three times.  As she and her cellmate prepare to join the free world again, ancient and insanely powerful Baba Yaga appears with missions they have to complete if they don’t want to become mortal come All Hallows Eve.

The problem? Well, there’s more than one…
The only direction Zelda receives is to go to her recently deceased aunt’s house.
Said house is in “Asscrack, West Virginia.”
An aunt she didn’t even know she had and was apparently killed “violently.”
Her mission would take place there, but she was never told what she had to do to pass.

Now stuck in a beautiful old Victorian house, alone with her revived familiar, Zelda finds herself inundated with injured animals who turn it to be shifters, including one sexy-as-hell wolf alpha.

Can Zelda figure out and complete her task in time or will Baba Yaga follow through on her threat?
Can she open her heart to the people in this small town who need her so desperately, or will her past keep her heart locked up tight?

Can she even keep herself alive to try?

My Brief Synopsis:
Set in The Big Easy, Love & Ghosts draws you in from the start with the wonderfully blunt Trish questioning her best friend, lead female Emily, about  a possible one night stand as they’re heading into a masquerade ball. The conversation that followed set up an interesting and painful backstory that plays a major role throughout the rest of the book.  Trish proves herself once again by forcing Emily to open up to life a little with a fun and steamy dare.

Enter Sean.  As the Dread Pirate Roberts no less (because who doesn’t want him?).  He’s rich, he loves his Momma, and he’s hot as hell.  Oh, and he can see and communicate with ghosts; owning and operating the most popular haunted tour company in New Orleans.

When Emily is the only person to realize Sean isn’t Zorro, they start dancing in more ways than one.  Sparks become fireworks, but she refuses to tie herself to the first man she meets in her new home city.  However, she and Sean keep running into each other and eventually one thing leads to another until their opposing opinions on the paranormal threaten to tear them apart.

Can Sean and Emily come to an understanding before her disbelief is their downfall?
