Description
She's not a psychic—she just plays one on TV . . . A "delightfully spooky" mystery set in Salem, Massachusetts (RT Book Reviews).
Most folks associate the city of Salem, Massachusetts with witches, but for Lee Barrett, it's home. This October she's returned to her hometown—where her beloved Aunt Ibby still lives—to interview for a job as a reporter at WICH-TV. But the only opening is for a call-in psychic to host the late night horror movies. It seems the previous host, Ariel Constellation, never saw her own murder coming.
Lee reluctantly takes the job, but when she starts seeing real events in the obsidian ball she's using as a prop, she wonders if she might really have psychic abilities. To make things even spookier, it's starting to look like Ariel may have been an actual practicing witch—especially when O'Ryan, the cat Lee and Aunt Ibby inherited from her, exhibits some strange powers of his own. With Halloween fast approaching, Lee must focus on unmasking a killer—or her career as a psychic may be very short lived . . .

When Maralee Bennett was five years old, her parents were killed in an airplane crash. Maralee had seen a vision of the fiery explosion in a reflection on her shiny black patent leather shoes. Fast forward a couple of decades and Lee returns to Salem, MA, from Florida after her husband's death. Staying with her Aunt Ibby, a reference librarian, and looking for a job as a reporter for the local television station, Lee is hired because the station's resident psychic, Ariel Constellation, has been murdered. As Crystal Moon, Lee begins hosting Nightshades, a late-night horror movie/talk show, but it appears she may be more gifted then she realized, as her obsidian gazing ball seems to be telling her something, but what? VERDICT Introducing a sympathetic heroine trying her best to overcome difficulties in her personal life, this rewarding paranormal cozy series debut will have Victoria Laurie fans lining up to follow.
