An Animated Midlife (Witching After Forty, 4)

Ava Harper's resume keeps getting updated. It started with witch, then necromancer, author, bookstore clerk, vampire wrangler, and medium. Yes, you heard that right, she can talk to ghosts. New powers bring more responsibilities and things to add to the list of magic she needs to learn. Especially when Ava finds out her mother isn't in a happy place. What else can she do but try to rescue her mother from the in-between place she's been suffering all these years? That doesn't mean it'll be easy. She's going to need the help of her team, from her ghoul Alfred to her mischievous cat, Mr. Snoozerton--and his new girlfriend. And Olivia, her best friend. She might even have to call her son home from college. But Ava's life wouldn't be Ava's life if things didn't go a bit awry. Luci tries to help, but just infuriates all of them, as usual. Larry the skeleton is still hanging around, and he's lost a finger bone. It might be a lot of hullabaloo, but Ava is determined to figure it out and bring her mother home. And Drew, the town sheriff and Ava's boyfriend is at her side every step of the way. Could the sheriff be plotting something of his own and try to tame the necromancer/witch hybrid?
