The Oracle of Wynter Series by Lisa Manifold

Six months ago, I lost my husband. Six hours ago, I found out he had another family. Six minutes ago, my life changed forever. For my 45th birthday, I planned to treat myself to a spa day with my bestie. But instead, my late husband’s insurance broker drops by to let me know that not only am I still widowed, but my husband’s insurance policies are being paid to his other wife - and his other family. Happy birthday to me... moreSix months ago, I lost my husband. Six hours ago, I found out he had another family. Six minutes ago, my life changed forever. For my 45th birthday, I planned to treat myself to a spa day with my bestie. But instead, my late husband’s insurance broker drops by to let me know that not only am I still widowed, but my husband’s insurance policies are being paid to his other wife - and his other family. Happy birthday to me. Shell-shocked and still forty-five, my spa day becomes wine night as I attempt to drown my sorrows with music and dancing. The next thing I know, I'm being romanced by an Indiana Jones wannabe who arrives like a dervish to sweep me off my feet. One thing leads to another but before anything happens, Indy goes missing, the place is trashed, and I’ve got myself a glowing snake tattoo that seems to be talking to me about magic, curses, and a hex that is going to kill me. And I get to do the walk of shame - without having any of the fun. I arrive home to to find Logan Gentry, a tall, dark drink of water who seems to think I am some ancient magical being sent here to solve his problems. On any other day, I would bust out my Taser and show him who’s boss but there’s something about his story - and the fact that he knows all about my talking tattoo - that draws me in. One thing is for sure… this guy knows more about what’s happened to me than I do. If I help him, maybe I’ll find some answers along the way. Assuming the curse on my possessed tattoo doesn’t kill me first. Age is just a number, right? Especially when you're possessed by an ancient Oracle. A paranormal women’s fiction romance with a feisty heroine in serious midlife crisis, a talking tattoo, a chain-smoking ghost in a housedress, and an adventure that proves you’re never too old to start over from USA Today Bestselling author Lisa Manifold.

Five weeks ago, I might have killed a man. Five days ago, I met my husband’s other wife. Five minutes ago, a dead body washed ashore. Just another day in the life of an Oracle, right? I thought taking care of the hex that wanted to kill me was all I had to worry about, but then Farrah Lockwood arrives on my porch with a new mystery. She thinks she’s come to me for advice but the fact she found me at all means there are bigger things afoot… much bigger... moreFive weeks ago, I might have killed a man. Five days ago, I met my husband’s other wife. Five minutes ago, a dead body washed ashore. Just another day in the life of an Oracle, right? I thought taking care of the hex that wanted to kill me was all I had to worry about, but then Farrah Lockwood arrives on my porch with a new mystery. She thinks she’s come to me for advice but the fact she found me at all means there are bigger things afoot… much bigger. What seems like a simple matter of whodunit quickly becomes deeper and I find myself strapped in and holding tight on a roller coaster ride into an ancient Egyptian curse, a pair of secret societies about to go to war with each other, and a rather alarming revelation that my new friend Logan is tied up in this as well. I had just settled into the idea of being a widow when all this Oracle business landed on my arm. Now, the threats that follow Farrah have arrived on my doorstep and there’s more at stake than any of us know. Did I forget to mention my doctor has confirmed I’m in menopause and all of this is getting on my last nerve? Once upon a time, I imagined forty-five would find me dealing with an empty nest and planning for retirement. I never thought I’d be so single, so sweaty, and fighting to stay alive. Age may be just a number, but I swear all this drama is making me one grouchy Oracle.

Four weeks ago, a dead man washed ashore. Four days ago, his body disappeared from the morgue. Four hours ago, I was accused of his murder. Unfortunately for me, my last nerve drowned in the sea of my new friend named night sweats. Just when I thought it was safe to step onto my porch, the power of the Oracle has sent another person in need to my stairs... moreFour weeks ago, a dead man washed ashore. Four days ago, his body disappeared from the morgue. Four hours ago, I was accused of his murder. Unfortunately for me, my last nerve drowned in the sea of my new friend named night sweats. Just when I thought it was safe to step onto my porch, the power of the Oracle has sent another person in need to my stairs. He thinks he’s searching for his missing husband, but the moment I smell him, I know he’s dragging along a curse from a necromancer with a stench strong enough to curl the leg hairs I haven’t had time to shave. 

Which reminds me—I should probably do some lady grooming before my date. 

And did I mention I have an arraignment in court? For murder? It’s all I can do to put this legal nonsense to bed before the rotten bouquet of necromancy wafts into my world yet again. 

If one more person says that age is just an number, they’re going to wish they’d disappeared with my last nerve. Don’t miss!

Two weeks ago, I logged my first failure as an Oracle. Two days ago, I learned that magic is a fickle thing. Two hours ago, I unleashed a posse of the undead. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, they did. Not only did I need to figure out how to free Nina, I had a new consultant. Double booked is an understatement. Now, I must discover why Hazel Dane, one of the most stressed out--and most impolite--consultants I've ever had is cursed. Or enchanted. Or something. She doesn't know... moreTwo weeks ago, I logged my first failure as an Oracle. Two days ago, I learned that magic is a fickle thing. Two hours ago, I unleashed a posse of the undead.

Now, I must discover why Hazel Dane, one of the most stressed out--and most impolite--consultants I've ever had is cursed. Or enchanted. Or something. She doesn't know. Neither do I. Which is kind of a problem. I'm also not sleeping--hello, guilt-inducing-gargoyle on my front porch anyone? It's probably one more symptom of menopause, but if I don't get some sleep, someone's going to die. Which was interesting, as zombies just showed up on my front porch, trying to break down the front porch. Maybe I spoke too soon.
