Danger lurks in the water!

With the Magical Spring Games approaching, Damon hires Reg to help him to track down a missing contestant deep in the Everglades. If Reg thought this was going to be a walk in the (national) park, she’s got another thing coming.

Covering 1.5 million acres and home to both magical and non-magical predators, including those of the two-legged variety, Reg isn’t sure she is up to the challenge. Could anyone be?

Reg had better hold onto that airboat, it’s going to be a wild ride.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …an everglades adventure replete mishaps, misunderstandings, magical beings, and mythological creatures.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …another well-written mystery with a suspenseful plot and strong characters.

Like paranormal mysteries? Psychics, witches, fairies, and more! Award-winning and USA Today Bestselling Author P.D. Workman waves her wand to transport readers to the myth- and magic-filled small town of Black Sands for another paranormal cozy mystery to be solved by Reg Rawlins and her friends.

A self-professed con artist practicing as a contact to the dead, a drop-dead gorgeous warlock, and a psychic cat—what could go wrong?

Fall under Reg’s spell today.

—Another great work of art by Ms. Workman. I am amazed at the diversity of her writing and how much I really enjoy them all. She can write cozy mystery, YA books that should be read by all, medical thrillers, Zach Goldman series and now a paranormal series. I am so glad to have found this author. I am honored that I get to read them early also.

—This book has all my favourite things: heart, great writing, nearly-flawless editing, something unusual in the air, and a cat. I needed a light read, and this fit the bill perfectly. Recommended.

—This book actually surprised me. I knew that a psychic cat would be entertaining. I just didn’t expect it to be this good. You really do get wrapped up in the people and story. It sounds like a fairly gentle story, but there is a lot of suspense involved. Add a bunch of humor to the mix and you are in for a treat. I love the characters. Wish I had some friends like them. And the cat is so very well done. Acts like a typical cat, but a lot smarter than his human. This is a story that you don’t want to put down.

—Extremely well written as are all of P.D. Workman’s books, the characters well developed. I’m a character reader, I get into the characters. Who and what they are. Why they do the things they do. The things that make a reader get invested into the characters and thereby the book. I look forward to P.D. Workman’s next book.

—P D Workman has done it again; created a cast of characters and a storyline that are captivating and enthralling. Once I started this cozy I didn’t want to put it down (which can be a bad thing when you have a family to take care of…lol). I can’t wait for the other books in this series. I think Reg is going to turn out to be one of my favorite new characters. Pick up your copy as soon as possible.

Author Notes may contain spoilers!

Sometimes a character just needs a vacation. Get them out of their comfort zone and into a new setting and see what happens. 

Of course, if you’re writing mystery/suspense, the vacation never turns out to be very restful. 

I figured Reg needed a bit of a break from Black Sands. Since Damon has been preparing for his security detail at the Magical Games, I thought that he might exert a little pressure on Reg to use her psychic in a way that would be profitable to both of them. How about a lost athlete who could stage a comeback for the Games? 

The Everglades were close at hand, and with the park being as large as it is, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility that the missing warlock might have gotten lost there. In fact, when I started to look at some of the unsolved mysteries surrounding the Everglades, there was plenty of fodder for a story. Bigfoot, body dumps, Al Capone, a pirate ship, the lost scout airplane, nearly extinct creatures, and more. 

So, pack your bags, Reg Rawlins, and hold onto the air boat.

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”
