Thank you to the author and @Sunnybabepr for the gifted e-book. 

I really enjoyed this quick paranormal fantasy read. The story follows Oakley Brooks, a single mom and witch who has recently moved into the neighborhood of Celestial Haven with her sister. When her sister goes missing, Oakley has to rely on two hunky guys in the neighborhood for help. The witches in the story have unique powers and secrets, making it a perfect read for the fall season. 

It was refreshing to read about a new mom navigating through motherhood. The character development was well done, and the ending set up the sequel, "Midnight With The Hexed". 

I highly recommend this book if you're a fan of witches and magic. It's available now.
