Book Description:
Sometimes white magic can turn
dark. Even with the best intentions.
When Angelica, a white witch,
placed a protective curse over her granddaughter, Nancy, in a bid to keep her
safe from society and her own powers until she was old enough to understand,
she had no idea of the consequences.
On the 31st of October, a grown
up Nancy holds her annual Halloween party. Only this year she strays away from
her traditional festivities that include her famous Halloween punch, and dancing
to the Monster Mash, and opts for a spookier night. With the help of her
friends, Nancy will be holding a séance with her new Ouija board. But little
does she know that the protective curse her grandmother secretly cast over
twenty-seven years ago is lifted that very night.
A spirit is summoned and Nancy
begins a journey of sexual desire and love that she will never forget.
Was this summoning pure
coincidence, magic, or something else? Only time will tell.
Lies, secrets, covens, dark
forces, and nightmares lie just around the corner for Nancy. But at the end of
it all, will she be able to help the man she has fallen for and fulfil his wish
of putting his wandering soul to rest? And will there be a price?
Will true love conquer or be
taken?
Nancy is about to find out.

Excerpt:
Once her guests
have settled, Nancy begins.
“First things
first, I would like to thank you all for coming to my party! Next, before we
get started with this, I would like to allocate some special roles.”
She puts a
nervous-looking Sophie out of her misery first. “Sophie – you, Declan and James
are all the energisers.”
It doesn’t seem
to reassure Sophie, so Nancy goes on, “Don’t worry, all you have to do is sit
here and let the rest of us look like fools.” Nancy smiles in her direction to
reassure her, prompting a tiny smile back.
Reassured, she
continues, “Okay, Eve, you are interpreter. Hence the pen and paper. Your job is
to write down any answers, numbers or letters we get from the board.”
Eve grins.
“Gotcha.”
Then, staring
her straight in the eye, Nancy declares Lucy the designated ‘screamer’.
“What the hell’s a screamer, Nance?”
She chuckles. “Basically, a screamer is the
person who you think will wet themselves before anyone else and run home
crying.”
Lucy gives her a
knowing look, “Well I think that title should belong to you, Nance. Don’t you?”
“Maybe, but I am the leader since it’s my
party and my Ouija.”
Lucy looks away
and takes a sip of her drink. No-one else seems to have a problem with their
position, so leader Nancy decides that it’s time to play. She turns the music
down to a whisper.
Pressing her
fingers down on both bottom corners of the board, she drags it along the table
towards her. “Now. To start we all must concentrate and have no negative
thoughts, or this won’t work. Alright?”
Everybody nods,
and Nancy places one finger from each hand on the planchette. Trying not to
giggle, she asks the first question of the night.
“Is anyone
there?”
The room is
deadly silent; only the drone of the bass-driven music can be heard. She tries
to make eye contact with her guests, but they’re all staring down at the board,
waiting for her fingers to move. Jeez, they really are taking this seriously.
Nothing happens,
so she asks again.
“Is there anyone
there who wishes to make contact with us?”
They all stare;
mesmerized by the piece of wood and the hope that something might just happen.
The kitchen door creaks and then pushes open. Lucy screams. Everybody,
including the men, jump up off their chairs and head sharpish for the other end
of the room.
With every hair
on her body stood to panicked attention, Nancy tries to open the lounge door
with her trembling hands... until she realises what’s happened when she notices
her cat strolling in like he owns the place.
It prompts the
gang to burst out into laughter, breaking the onset of tension. Eventually,
they manage to compose themselves, all admitting out loud that this Ouija lark
is actually quite fun and, hey, they should try to really contact someone. This
time with the doors closed, so no cats can further impede.
Making their way
back to the table, Nancy scoops up Salem. Bending over and shooing her little
friend off out the door, Nancy feels inappropriate eyes burning holes through
her dress.
Twisting her
head to see who is looking, she’s surprised that not a single one of them is
peeking her way. And yet... the feeling of being watched still lingers.
Straightening her chair back up from the panic before, she notices that the
scent of the air has changed; it smells unfamiliar, musky, and manly. The
flames of the candles are flickering more aggressively, as if there were a
window open. Putting it down to James’s aftershave and the fact that they all
just ran across the room, she takes her seat back at the head of the table and
they start again.
“Is there anyone
there?” Nancy asks, her fingers back on the wooden heart. They’re left hanging
again, so she dashes to the kitchen to get the instruction booklet. Opening the
cutlery drawer, that being watched feeling appears again and a cold breeze
strokes the back of her bare neck. It sends shivers through her entire body.
Snatching up the booklet, she darts back to the safety of her friends.
With the right
passage at the ready and a number of sentences to choose from, she returns her
fingers to the planchette and says, “Spirit, please come forward and give us
guidance.”
Still, nothing.
Not so much as a blown-out flame. She chooses another calling. “Spirit, do you
have a message for one of us?”
Again they’re
left hanging. So Nancy decides to make up her own chant, if only to get a
reaction out of her friends. “Spirit, are there any hot, tall, dark, handsome
men out there who are good in bed?”
Everyone
giggles. In the midst of the laughter, Nancy’s ear suddenly turns icy. And then
she hears a whisper.
Yes...
Her body freezes
in fear.
