Ava Harper may be a raiser of the dead and a not-so-famous author, but she isn't vampire hunter. Not even close.

With the decision made to stay in Shipton Harbor, Ava Harper returns to the home she shared with her deceased husband in Pennsylvania to put it on the market. But saying goodbye to the memories of the home they raised their son in is a lot harder than it had sounded in her head.

In the months she's been in Shipton, new neighbors moved in across the street from her Philly home. Now, Ava has nothing against vampires.

But when people in the neighborhood start turning up with bite marks and Uncle Wade goes missing, she can't help but to check into the newbies in the hood. One of the fanged ones isn't happy with Ava poking around and tries to scare her off the case.

But he is no match for two necromancers, a tiger-ghoul, and a sheriff/hunter. And now, as if dealing with how the sheriff makes her knees weak isn't bad enough, the house she is trying to sell is haunted.

Just another day in Ava's life at this point. The Witching After Forty series is part of the Life After Magic World.
