    About this ebook

    Nancy Werlock didn't want to take over the family business. Because for Werlock women, the family business is demonology. And at the Three Wishes Boutique, the customer may not always be right, but he may possessed. 

    Episode 12 of the series includes three short stories (appr.word count 7600)

    Couples Counseling: With only a few more days until Samhain, the last thing Nancy needs is to find Houston straddling a succubus.

    Interview With the Vampire: Nobody wants to be stalked by a vampire…even if it is just an ambush-style job interview.

    Last Rites: Nancy is unexpectedly confronted by the widow of the man who killed her mother.

      October 21st

      Scott sits across from me at the kitchen table, staring into his coffee cup while shaking his head. I just don’t think this is healthy, sis, he finally says.

      It’s not like I’m going to the actual viewing, I reply.

      What exactly do you expect to accomplish with this anyway? The guy got what was coming to him.

      "Don’t say that. Nobody deserves to die in a car accident. There is a difference between justice and vengeance. I wanted him to pay for what he did. I didn’t want him to die."

      Neither did I, but maybe this is some sort of cosmic justice.

      That isn’t how it works.

      Nancy, there is nothing to be gained by visiting the grave. What are you going to do, perform a séance? Take a necromancer with you to speak to the dead?

      I just can’t shake the feeling that I caused this, somehow.

      You are a demonologist, sis. Not a psion. It isn’t like you took control of the guy’s mind and forced him to ram his car into a telephone pole. Didn’t they say they think it was a heart attack?
