Poison
My Pretty…somehow I keep hearing the WW from the East in my head when I read
those words, but that's probably just me because I'm obsessed with her flying
monkeys. Welcome to February 16'th, peeps. We have a new release to talk to you
about today. It falls into the Paranormal Cozy Mystery genre. It's POISON MY
PRETTY by Amity Allen.
Cover
Artist: Rachel Olson at No Sweat Graphics
As
always, here's a description for you:
As soon as Poppy
Parker turns 21, the star of a popular TV show about witch detectives discovers
she has supernatural powers off the set as well as on. When the show is
canceled, she returns home to figure out how to harness the magic brewing
inside her.
Freaked out by these
recent paranormal gifts, Poppy just wants to fit in, so when she’s asked to
serve as a judge for the annual Bloomin’ Belles youth beauty competition she
readily agrees.
But when the
pageant’s snooty director drops dead and Poppy’s friend is arrested, the former
TV sleuth sets out to uncover the real killer, only to find…the business of
beauty can be deadly.

Here's
an excerpt for you:
Skylar’s twin sister
Mads called while I was driving to the convention center. “Are you really going
over there? I can’t believe they’re going to continue this pageant.”
“So you heard about
the murder?”
“Yeah. Skylar told me
last night when she got home. It’s awful.”
“Yes, but you know how
it is. The show must go on! Surely you can’t be that surprised.” I was only
beginning to understand the importance of these competitions to their
participants, and I could picture pageant moms dragging their glitzed-up
toddlers over the dead bodies of fallen competitors. The way zombies climbed
over each other to get to the top of the pile in movies—only prettier.
“Are they sure it was
a murder? She didn’t just have a heart attack or something?” I could hear the
anxiety creeping into Mads’ voice, and I didn’t blame her. Our little town was
supposed to be safe. Murders didn’t happen here. That was the sort of thing
that happened in the city across the bridge, not in our sleepy little bedroom
community.
“That’s what they said, Mads, but I don’t
think you need to worry. If it was a murder, you can bet it was personal.
Certainly not the doin’s of a mad man or a serial killer. If Heather Morgan was
murdered, it was by somebody who knew her and had something to gain from her
death. This was no a random act of violence.”
