“Death at the Door is a fun read that feels fresh, perfect for fans of supernatural mysteries with a cozy mystery mentality.” -Booklist

“Somewhere between a cozy and a crime mystery, this is a fun series with vibrant characters, authentic dialogue, and a well-thought-out plot.” -Manhattan Book Review

Praise for A New Lease on DeathTHE ANTHONY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST PARANORMAL

“This pair of amateur detectives just works, and readers will root for them and the friendship they’re building.” -Booklist

“A lot of twists and turns… highly recommend.” - Aunt Agatha’s

“A fun, supernatural mystery.” -Red Carpet Crash
