The Final Catch: Book 1

In this continuing magical, funny and at times naughty tarot witch fantasy series, a mystery, a cat and a sexy free spirit cast a spell. Jane Starr’s Cheshire kitten goes missing and her entanglement with a tarot sorceress’ arcana cast of nasties escalates when she accidentally frees them from a cursed tarot deck.

When Jane’s burgeoning obsessive compulsive magic is unwittingly released, her sweet Cheshire kitten is stolen and her finances manipulated. Forced to comply with Meadowvale’s sorceress, Maisie Price, in an alliance of chaotic magical kooks and criminals, Jane learns the way of her craft through Maisie’s quid pro quo.

Jane must clear Meadowvale of the dark and magical convicts roaming the streets by returning them to the cursed deck, but her serial dating is getting in the way. Until then, her kitten is lost in the realms of Cheshire magic.

“I thought my divorce caused the monumental shift in my life, but in retrospect… it was the cat.”
