When she was younger, Stormy Morgan wrote a thinly veiled version of her hometown Shadow Hills. It hit the best seller list and Stormy hit the road. She achieved her dream of getting out of town but left her serious boyfriend behind. Now she's back in shame (her second book tanked) and it feels a lot like high school. She's back working at the family diner, she's hanging out with a lot of her same friends, and she's still feeling attraction for the now-sheriff. But he's with someone else.
Stormy does get to spend some time with her ex when she stumbles across the body of a dead man. Yes, the man was hated by most in town but her grandfather is the one who had an argument with him recently. And her grandfather is the one dodging an interview with the police.
This was an okay story but not the usual level that we get from Lee. The characters are a little thin, the relationship of our protagonist and her ex overlaps with the relationship he's in during most of the book and the magic, have I not mentioned it yet? It's because it's barely there. I'll stick with the next book in this series but may be sticking with the witches of the midwest (which are reference in this book several times.)
