Book Description

Lovell Winery and Vineyards has been plagued by paranormal activity for almost a century—something sabotaging the business and driving off every owner who dared take it on. Until now.

When freelance exorcist Bea Romo Reyes and her witchy partner Maggie Greenfield are hired, the job seems straightforward: find the spirit terrorizing the historic property and send it packing before a high-profile event puts guests in danger.

But the ghost isn’t the true threat—it’s a warning. Something sinister is hiding in the winery, drawing dangerous supernatural forces straight to the doorstep. Maggie’s magic won’t be enough to stop what’s coming, and Bea can’t punch this problem into submission. They have to uncover the truth buried in the property’s dark history before the evil contained there for a century is unleashed—and innocent people pay the price.

Honestly, the ghost is the least of their worries.

Fans of paranormal action, female friendship, and snarky banter will love Uncanny Spirits, the second installment in Bea and Maggie’s Paranormal Case Files. Start reading now and get ready for a wild supernatural ride.

Reviews

“[Bea and Maggie’s] friendship is probably what I enjoyed most. They feel like two people who genuinely know each other, annoy each other, worry about each other, and would still run straight into danger for one another.” – Goodreads Reviewer

“The stakes are higher, but the balance of humor and intensity kept me turning pages nonstop… I highly recommend Uncanny Spirits for readers who enjoy urban fantasy with strong female main characters.” – Amazon Reviewer

FAQ

Q: Do I need to read Smoke and Hellfire first?

A: No. I strive to make every book in this series readable without having picked up any of the others. That said, reading Smoke and Hellfire first will definitely provide additional context and character background.

Q: What are the content warnings?

A: There’s some violence, minor character death (or fate worse than death), horror imagery, stalking by a villain, and one scene that might qualify as body horror.

Q: Is this horror?

A: No. While there are horror elements, this is primarily supernatural action/adventure with humor. Think Buffy or Supernatural. Scary stuff happens, but the monster gets punched in the end.
