Book Description
Being a witch is a lot harder than it looks. When single mom Twyla Hedgewood is told that she's one of three very powerful witches, she's pretty doubtful. After all, she can barely balance her checkbook, nevermind tackle complicated spells and magic. Her sisters seem to be handling the witchy stuff much better than she is, but her grandmother is convinced that the three of them are somehow the most powerful witches their sleepy little town has ever seen. After all, they're not just witches, but they're half faery, too. When her lousy ex-husband winds up murdered in her bed, Twyla has to prove that she's innocent, but that won't be easy. The Sheriff hates her entire family and would like nothing more than to see Twyla get locked up forever for the murder. With the help of her two sisters and a few quirky supernatural friends, can Twyla figure out who really killed her ex so she can clear her name and possibly nab a date with the cute shifter cop investigating her? Welcome to Frog Hollow, Mississippi, where paranormal and normal are pretty much the same thing. Family, friends, and freaks... Meet the residents of a town with a very special link to the 'Other Side,' a town whose residents include vampires, shapeshifters, demons, angels, and the occasional drunk faery. It's a town with many secrets and shames, and it's up to Twyla and her sisters to sort through them all and figure out just who they can trust.
