A Spell of Rowans

4.4 ratings on Amazon
4.3 369 ratings on Goodreads

Magic and troubles come in threes.

The Rowan family: Victoria, whose empathic talent reads hidden feelings. Phillipa, with a glamour that bewitches. Liam, who can touch an object to reveal its past.

We all had our magic twisted by our mother’s games, but after her death, I thought it was safe to come back home. Instead, the police haul in my autistic brother for questioning about a murder, while my sister is keeping a secret about what Mother was really doing. Hint: nothing good.

And that hometown boy I dumped? He’s now with the FBI and thinks he knows the truth about me.

“Swathed in small-town gossip and values, the fantastical novel – combines murder mystery, magic, and mayhem for an exciting tour of a family’s history and trauma.” – 5 stars, Clarion review

An emotional page-turner about healing from a haunted past.

• • •

“This is definitely an adult novel that revisits complicated relationships between children and parents, as well as issues amongst siblings. The magical realism and complex relationships are front and center, all skirted on the edges of darkness.”
