This post is two weeks later than planned, but better later than never. Without too much preamble, because I know April is A to Z month for many of you, here's Catherine Stine's latest exciting release - paranormal, historical suspense novel
Witch of the Cards.
Cover by Mae I Designs
Fiera was born a sea witch with no inkling of her power. And
now it might be too late.
Witch of the Cards is historical, supernatural romantic
suspense set in 1932 on the Jersey shore. Twenty-two year-old Fiera has
recently left the Brooklyn orphanage where she was raised, and works in
Manhattan as a nanny. She gets a lucky break when her boss pays for her short
vacation in Asbury Park. One evening, Fiera and her new friend Dulcie wander
down the boardwalk and into Peter Dune’s Tarot & Séance, where they attend
a card reading.
Fiera has always had an unsettling ability to know things
before they happen and sense people’s hidden agendas. She longs to either find
out the origin of her powers or else banish them because as is, they make her
feel crazy. When, during the reading, her energies somehow bond with Peter Dune’s
and form an undeniable ethereal force, a chain of revelations and dangerous
events begin to unspool. For one, Fiera finds out she is a witch from a
powerful sea clan, but that someone is out to stop her blossoming power
forever. And though she is falling in love with Peter, he also has a secret
side. He’s no card reader, but a private detective working to expose mediums.
Despite this terrible betrayal, Fiera must make the choice to save Peter from a
tragic Morro Cruise boat fire, or let him perish with his fellow investigators.
Told in alternating viewpoints, we hear Fiera and Peter each struggle against
their deep attraction. Secrets, lies, even murder, lace this dark fantasy.
