Book Description
This bundle contains books 4 - 6 of the Diva Delaney Mysteries. Revenge Is Sweet, But Kind Of Sticky: Diva Delaney has had a rough time lately, but things are about to get much worse. Her good friend, Nina Rivers, has a hunch that the psychic medium is in danger. While the witch only has moderate power, everyone in the magical community knows that her instincts are never wrong. Although she is aware that someone means her harm, Diva can’t allow herself to hide away. She has a job to do, even if the work comes in the form of hunting for a missing cat. Thanks to Satan’s unpredictable attacks, she doesn’t particularly trust felines anymore. This isn’t the most glamorous case that she’s ever accepted, but she needs to pay her bills. It isn’t easy to narrow down where the mysterious danger will be coming from. Another case comes up that will put her in jeopardy as she follows the trail of a thief. Then there’s Gillian Farque, Haydn Creighton’s fiancé. The witch is the jealous type and she has her sights set on Diva. Conjurers aren’t allowed to cast magic on normals, but their feud is starting to spiral out of control. The only solution is for Diva to stay away from Haydn, which will be easier said than done since she still owes him so many favors. Karma Is In Dire Need Of Being Spanked: Diva Delaney is in no mood to deal with men after what happened between her and the sheriff. With her curse now finally lifted, she should be free to date, but of course nothing is that easy for her. She is beginning to doubt that she’ll ever find a good man to settle down with. Her next cases will involve stealth, cunning and bravery, three things which the psychic medium lacks completely. Diva will have to force herself to step out of her comfort zone in order to help her clients. Both of her cases will take her out of town, so she won’t have her ghostly sidekicks to assist her in their usual wacky manner. Frankly, that might not be such a bad thing. With the return of Wade and Wyatt Westmore, things are going to become interesting in Hollowood Grove, especially for her cousin, Courtney. Meanwhile, Diva’s main nemesis is driving her to the edge. The wickedly handsome warlock knows how to push her buttons and is an expert at manipulating her into owing him yet more favors. This time, Haydn Creighton might find he’s the one who will need to be rescued from danger. Appearances Can Be Annoyingly Deceiving: Diva Delaney and her grandmother are summoned to the Council of Conjurers headquarters in Boston. This isn’t an invitation that can be denied no matter how much Diva wants to avoid it. Being tested by the councilmembers will drive her to the breaking point, but she won’t be alone during her torment. She will make new friends and allies who will come to her defense. Even in Boston, Diva can’t escape from Haydn Creighton. The warlock seems to be there every time she turns around, taunting her with his wickedly handsome looks and annoyingly smooth charm. Her insidious attraction to him seems to be growing by the day and there’s nothing she can do to stop it. Being a normal living among a family of witches had been hard enough, yet things are even more difficult now that Diva has become a conjurer herself. Her life is becoming increasingly complicated in fact. It’s about to get even worse when she learns the truth about what caused the feud between the Delaney and Creighton Covens. cozy paranormal mystery, cozy mystery, witches wizards warlocks, supernatural occult paranormal, female sleuth, spells magic, ghosts spirits phantoms poltergeist

It’s laugh-out-loud funny and will make people wonder what you are reading!” — Shelley’s Book Case “This one is definitely ♥♥♥♥♥!” — Rantin’, Ravin’, & Reading “Undertaking Irene by Pamela Burford is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time!...

To dead people. Life gets complicated for Jane and her Death Diva business when she’s hired to liberate a gaudy mermaid brooch from the corpse during a wake—on behalf of the rightful owner, supposedly. Well, a girl’s got to make a living, and this assignment pays better than scattering ashes, placing flowers on graves, or bawling her eyes out as a hired mourner.

Just when she thinks her biggest problem is grand theft mermaid, things take a murderous turn. But hey, when you’ve teamed up with a neurotic seven-pound poodle named Sexy Beast, how can you go wrong?
