About this ebook
Small-town librarian Ophelia Jensen is finally starting to embrace her lot as one of the "chosen"—a psychic and folk magick practitioner, a.k.a. a witch. Expert loving guidance from her magickally adept grandmother Abby helps—and adopting Tink, an exceptionally talented teenage medium, has given Ophelia's life new purpose . . . until a brutal murder clouds the sunshine of their days.
Ophelia's co-worker and best friend, Darci, is distraught when her cousin is implicated in the small Iowa town of Summerset's most recent murder—the violent death of a biker. Unfortunately for Darci's cousin, it's her fingerprints all over the murder weapon. She claims she's innocent, but it'll take Ophelia and Abby more than a good incantation or two to get to the bottom of this crime—what with ghosts, crooked cops, secret identities, and a small army of outlaw bikers thrown into this devil's brew.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Ophelia (the local librarian) & her Grandmother Abby have "the Gift"...they use this gift to help solve murders. Unfortunately, the gift of "sight" doesn't include seeing the killer's face, just his eyes and the murder.... Ophelia's adopted daughter & her friends play with a Ouija Board, which also has consequences in relation to the murder.
In this book a group of bikers (El Serpiente) have come to town and the library assistant's cousin Becca takes one of the bikers home with her. Becca is found holding a bloody knife with the biker (Adder) dead in bed, but Becca has no memory of what went on once she left the bar w/ Adder. The subplot is about another group of bikers....three of whom murdered 2 teenage girls in California. Two of them are in prison, the 3rd escaped....
I liked the book...but the "visions" are just a tad too descriptive (scary) for me. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ophelia Jensen juggles her job as librarian and her life-path of witch. Ophelia has adopted Tink a gifted teenage medium, and then a co-worker's cousin is implicated in a murder of a biker. The bikers are an outlaw gang determined to get their own way, Ophelia is determined to sort things out.It's a fun series, nothing deep, and the bikers are a little over-cliched but still entertaining.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fourth in the Ophelia and Abby series by Shirly Damsgaard. The series is about a Ophelia Jenson and her grandmother Abby, both from a long line of traditional Appalachian witches, though Ophelia and Abby now live in Iowa. Ophelia is a librarian and resisted her psychic powers most of her life. Now she uses them, learning how from Abby.In this episode in the series, bikers have come to town, and one of them is murdered. Ophelia's friend Darci, has a visiting cousin who is accused of the murder.I've liked all of the series so far. The characters are good, and the plots, if you accept the psychic powers, are believable. Recommended.
