Reader Recommendation
"You have that essential je ne sais quoi that it takes to tell a story so mesmerizing you can not stop reading
once started. You are not telling stories to your readers....you are taking them with you on your adventures
so that the experience can be shared by all as it happens and not simply replayed like a memory on the
page of a diary! You are indeed gifted and it is my pleasure to read your books!"
New From Sam Cheever
Talk about your midlife crisis. How was I supposed to know when I bought a pretty country church in a city named Rome that I was acting like a guardian deity? Lares Schmares. Anybody who deifies me needs serious therapy.
I’d always believed the whole “Lares” thing was a family story, nothing more. When I was fifteen I’d looked up the term “Lares” and discovered that they were guardian deities in the ancient Roman religion.
Heh.
A deity.
That’s hilarious.
I can barely manage my own life, let alone help others with theirs.
But…how do I explain a sudden, driving urge to open my candle shop in a pretty white church sitting at the main crossroads of a small town named Rome?
I’m not a Lares. That’s ridiculous.
I’m just a forty-five-year-old divorcee who likes to make candles.
How was I supposed to know that buying a church meant becoming the caregiver of a whole array of magical creatures?
Still…I’m not going to guard them.
No Siree!
I’m no guardian deity. That’s just…strange.
"I think this is my favorite Sam Cheever novel, which is saying a lot! So much fun! The action never stops. The characters are sexy, scary, funny, and heartwarming. A group of very odd strangers become a tribe that protects and supports Aggy and her mission. If you like odd, quirky characters, paranormals, fairy tale villains and adrenaline rushes, this is the book for you!"
