Before she knows it, she’s evicted from her apartment, fired from her job and banned from Beverly Hills.So, when the cards start … Hills.
So, when the cards start predicting her imminent demise, she uses a little magic to make her world right.
Suddenly, an aunt she’s never met dies, leaving Mara as her sole heir. But when Mara moves into her inherited home, she discovers Aunt Tillie never moved out. She’s still one pissed-off old lady–even post-mortem–and she blames Mara’s magical meddling for her untimely death.
When Mara accidentally releases a demon and awakens the spirit of the most powerful witch in history, Tillie’s ready to kill her. Literally. It’s the only way she can think of to save the girl from herself.

the story was a well thought out rump. Very entertaining and fun.
Pretty good. Tried to be try to Wicca but got carried away as usual.
Good book for winter reading. Love the main character. Enticed me to buy the next book in the series.
I really enjoyed reading this, it was hard to put down. Kept me guessing throughout and was a very enjoyable read. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
I enjoyed it. What I consider a light read. Witty (actually laughed out loud a couple times) a bit of adult topic but done tastefully. I’ll read more for sure.
I really liked the story line. Especially the northern Wisconsin part. Fun, fast-paced and exciting. Thought the “witchy” part was fun!
Fun read. Well done.
Although I didn’t think it was extremely well written it was fun to read.
If you like witchy stuff this book is for you. Meshes past and present into a supernatural thrill ride.
I love the series with the Aunt Tillie character.
A little meandering. Characters feel a little contrived. Not bad for a quick, light read.
Likable main characters, entertaining story line, good activity pace. Details were sufficient to describe scenarios, just enough to portray the point without getting too heavy or belaboring the details. Started as more of pg-13, but moved on to adult content. Overall, an entertaining read with a satisfying story.
Fun book to read
I could not get interested in the characters.
A fun read
Loved it
Good plot. Story was engaging. I’m a bit of a prude so I wasn’t too happy about the orgy. At least it wasn’t graphic.
Totally fun read, got really invested in the characters, plot line. Already planning to purchase the next books in the series. Anyone who likes the genre of this type of story should really enjoy reading.
