Her Chihuahua, Butch, knows more than he's letting on. Together they're going back to her home town to find out how her mother really died and to face nagging childhood memories she can't let go.
But, the small town is eerily unchanged, and people are openly hostile. Before she leaves for good Solomon faces more then the Demon of her childhood . . .
Spooky. Easily relatable characters. The second book in the series, and by far the better of the two.

This book takes vintage craft projects from the 60s and 70s and updates them with projects more appropriate for today but with vintage flair. I was sooo reminded of some of the projects I used to do with my mom as a kid. And the end results are so much fun. Serious crafter or dabbler this is a great book both for the projects AND the history!(less)

If you like Penn & Teller's TV show "Bullshit" you will probably enjoy this book. But if you are easily offended by atheists, nudity, and zero gravity, this book is not for you. What a f-ing hoot!(less)

The main detective character is a little rambly in his thinking, but in rather a fun way. It did take a while to get into the book- and I was starting to think about abandoning it- but the second half picks up action. A rather sensitive guy trying to be a hardboiled detective who's in love with his secretary who's rather more "in tune" with the way the world works than he is.(less)

In this continuation of her quest to pair up the vampires in her universe, Jeaniene Frost sets her sights this time on the dark brooding ancient vampire who literally plays with fire. But this vamp has met his match with a human who flings electricity. The air is charged with passion and humans and vampires better stay out of their way!(less)

There is sooo much history in this story. This one is the best so far. As someone who spent my teen years in Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market, and Underground Seattle, I really enjoyed revisiting it with a magical twist. (less)

This book made me want to attack my closet with ribbon, buttons and needle and thread! Some fun ideas - but better still - inspiration that could go beyond the projects depicted!

The main character had depths even she didn't understand yet. However, the book was just there. It was missing something. I will not be reading the rest of the series.(less)
