Short description

Coffee shop barista Kit Melbourne inherited a magic jewel to let her tell the humans from the glamour-disguised faeries, the Goth poseurs from the real vampires. Her bindi lets her know which witch casts real spells and which one just went through the motions. The only trouble is, plenty of people want a jewel like hers. And someone is willing to kill for it.

Extended description

Coffee shop barista (and part time treemaker) Kit Melbourne's life turns upside down when her tea-leaf reading brother predicts that someone will rob her, break her heart, and oh yeah, murder her.
Kit suspects it has something to do with the priceless jewel she inherited from their infamous witch uncle. As the jewel's powers begin to reveal the secret, supernatural side of the town of Seabingen, Kit realizes she has to uncover the mysteries of her uncle's past, to find out which of his many enemies wants the jewel badly enough to kill for it.

Review by: Fay Knight on Aug. 13, 2011 :
Just the kind of contemporary fiction I love - urban fiction with a supernatural twist, a fast-paced plot, and written in a humorous and engaging style.

Really enjoyed this one and can't wait to find out what happens in the next book. Kind of reminded me of Harley jane Kozak's Wolly Shelly books.

i loved this book. the characters were all well developed and likable. I am going to be getting the second in the series as soon as I get paid! I was drawn in from the beginning and couldn't put it down until I finished it. Good work and keep 'em coming.

Kater - great!!! '...when James read the tea leaves that
predicted my murder. ...' fantastic first line - equal to '... Marley was dead', kind of stuff.

Really enjoying the book. I feel silly to read it for free - but hey :-)

Best luck. Its a blast and you should be proud of your work.
