Publisher Description
Whipping up prize-winning chicken fried steak...fighting demonic forces...East Texas gals can do it all!
In her wildest dreams, Constance Plyd never thought she'd see dead people. Then again, she never thought she'd be hit on by her ex-husband at his own funeral...or be the prime suspect in his murder. Fortunately for Constance, irresistibly sexy sheriff Nathan Garrett wants to believe her explanation -- that a card-carrying demon in a black suit killed Jimmy in the garage -- or maybe he wants something more. Either way, all signs are leading to a showdown of hellish proportions, with Constance at the heart of the battle, when the Devil and would-be mother of the Antichrist (a pop princess wannabe) descends on Crockett County. Sure, she'd rather be cooking up a storm for the next state fair, but if she's going to be the Chosen One, at least Constance can give a few demons a Texas-style butt kicking....
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this frightfully funny series launcher, Lockwood introduces "minor prophet" and cafe owner Constance Plyd of Dogwood County, Tex., whose soon-to-be-ex-husband, Jimmy, gets whacked by Yaman, a demon in a black baseball cap assigned to jump-start Constance's second sight. Things, of course, get complicated: as Yaman tries to complete his mission and organize the Antichrist's return (via a young pop starlet), Constance becomes the prime suspect in her husband's murder, paving the way for hunky sheriff (and former one-night-stand artist who'd loved and left Constance) Nathan Garrett to get involved. An expansive and quirky cast (including a talking French bulldog angel) lends plenty of supernatural support to Lockwood's chicken-fried chick lit paranormal.
Customer Reviews
Fast read
This book was a fast read for me. I found it more funny than I first would expect. I didn't see the "demon" feel to it, It was more like bad ghosts. I thought it was a pretty good book, funny, some sad parts and some lovely mushy parts too.
