    Witches, wereapes, and pregnancy cravings… What could possibly go wrong? 
    Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this whole “married to a wereape” thing, life throws me a curveball in the form of pregnancy. And let me tell you, pregnancy and magic do not mix well. My cravings are bizarre, my magic is on the fritz, and I’m pretty sure I accidentally hexed the toaster. Twice. 
    But as if dealing with unpredictable magic and hormonal mood swings wasn’t enough, ominous threats start showing up, warning me that my baby is in danger. And around here, threats are never just idle words—they’re curses waiting to happen. 
    To make matters worse, Marcus’s past is coming back to haunt us, and our little town of Hollow Cove is getting a bit too crowded with strangers asking too many questions.  
    With danger lurking in every shadow and my powers going haywire, keeping my family safe is getting more complicated by the second. But if anyone thinks they can threaten me and my unborn child, they’ve got another thing coming. 
    I may not have this pregnancy thing figured out, but protecting my family? That’s something I was born to do.

    Now, with two murders unfolding before their eyes in late December, Stella and Lyndy realize they can't fully trust anyone except for themselves while investigating.
