Raven and Hester Mysteries #2
Mixing it Up with Mortals
When Raven Black, fire demon and Muddy River’s enforcer, moved in with Hester Wand, the lead witch of the town’s coven, who also teaches at her school for magic, he pictured them spending lots of quality time together. But his job keeps him busy, and her job ensures lots of people pop in and out of their home. So, to surprise her, he buys lake property for weekend getaways. When he drives her to inspect their retreat, though, suprise turns to shock when they find two dead bodies in the visitors’ cabins at the far end of the lake. Even worse, the victims are mortals. Raven can’t just dispose of them. He feels compelled to let loved ones know that the young man and woman died, even though he can’t reveal how that happened. They were both drained, instantly mummified. He learns that a sheriff in a nearby town is working on another case that’s similar, so he and Brown join forces to find the killer. And that’s when things get interesting…and deadly.

I am addicted to this series! Take a cozy murder mystery and cast all of your characters as supernatural beings—a demon enforcer, a powerful witch, shifters, vampires, Fae, druids, even voodoo priestesses, and you’ve got the intoxicating mix that is Muddy River. The people who populate Lynn’s vividly imagined town feel like buds you could sit down and have a beer with. Each is unique, with their own special gifts. They often gather at the local tavern to rehash the day’s events or put their heads together while trying to solve the latest “big bad” to infect their town.
In this book, it’s an incubus, a particularly nasty demon who’s been sucking the life from mortals outside of Muddy River. Matters get even more interesting when it’s discovered each of the victims is a “whistle blower” of some sort, and a mortal may be involved in ordering their deaths.
Sexy demon enforcer, Raven, and his partner, the powerful witch Hester, team with Meda, another member of Hester’s coven, and the half-human shifter, Brown—who happens to be a sheriff on the mortal side of things. The plot is twisty with a number of supernatural battles and vendettas—old and recent—plus everyday problems. Meda is attracted to Brown, but he seems clueless. This is a secondary plot, but it’s delightful, offsetting the more intense moments of the story. Like the big supernatural battle at the end. And if the reader thinks Raven and Hester are going to get a break, think again. Lynn sets up the closing with yet another mystery to lead into book three. All I can say is “bring it on!”
If you love urban fantasy, supernatural elements and cleverly-plotted cozies, this series is gold!

When Muddy River’s enforcer, Raven Black, takes his new girlfriend to a cabin in the woods, he’s expecting romance not murder.
Hester loves her demon, but an incubus is disrupting their peaceful getaway and the two must team up with shifter, and half mortal, Sheriff Brown to hunt the creature down before more mortals die.
This is my first Judi Lynn book, I thoroughly enjoyed her world-building creativity and the twists and turns in this fast-moving storyline.
If you like your demons hot, your witches strong and… well, magical 🙂 then I urge you to give the Raven & Hester series a try!

Supernatural mystery
A great story from supernaturals of all kinds. But the murder mystery must be solved and Hester and Raven are the ones to solve it.

Come on baby, light my fire. A series of small town mysteries loaded with big time intrigue, this time with a trail of mummified bodies. Witch extraordinaire, Hester Wand, joins with Raven to track down a really sucky murderer. It’s so much fun to read a heroine who can take care of herself and kick supernatural butt better than anybody else, even an enforcer like the literally and physically hot Raven.
