Being psychic, I should have known I’d end up living in Guntersville, Alabama–the most dangerous place for me given the exponential growth of my paranormal gifts.

An ironic twist of fate. Right?

I’m only back in my hometown temporarily. I hope. What other choice do I have when my long-held dream of being a high-dollar defense attorney was stolen from me in Atlanta?

Moving home was a frugal decision on my part, but it’s not free. There are a mind-blowing number of strings attached-all unspoken, of course. We are southern, after all. It’s rude to ask directly.

I’m grateful for the room and board while I prepare for my rise from the ashes with a spectacular plan B to start my life. Still, it leaves me cobbling together odd jobs to pay for my monstrous student loan debts.

My brother Dusty is researching the next installment of his best-selling Thirteen Haunts novel series. My gifts are in high demand. He offers me an obscene amount of money to assist his paranormal investigation team. The team’s next excursion is to the Osborne hotel in Paducah, Kentucky. A poltergeist recently caused the death of one of the hotel staff.

I must decrease my involvement with paranormal events. I’ve noticed with each exposure to the supernatural, my strange powers level up. Still, I’m going on their ghost hunting excursion. Did I mention the job pays exceptionally well?

Uncle Howard left the law office in my hands while he takes a vacation to the beach. I think he has a love interest in Mobile. Not that it’s any of my beeswax, except I’m left responsible for planning a credible defense to keep a mom of four out of jail, and I could use his advice. She’s charged with murdering her husband-the prosecution is out for blood-no pressure there, of course.

As if my dance card isn’t full enough, Shane White, my I wish he were my boyfriend guy friend, comes for a visit. I’m too busy to pay him any mind. Sure, I might have noticed him on the dock with his shirt off, but it isn’t like I’m fantasizing about his uber hot body. We’re just friends.

**READER TIPS** April May Snow books are paranormal women’s fiction. The novels chronicle the life of a young defense attorney as she struggles with a career path gone awry and her bourgeoning supernatural gifts. AMS books are not cozies. That’s not to say there isn’t humor and some family silliness; you’ll find a fair measure of both in each novel. Still, they have a more serious tone than cozies, and the setting is in the real world. The paranormal and crime scenes run from moderate to graphic, sexuality in the series is warm to mildly spicy. The language is mild unless you’re offended by an occasional Fudge biscuit or Kiss my grits. I hope this helps with your decision. Thank you for considering April’s story! - M. Scott
