Chapter 13

Tamatha’s notes from last night’s research in the Archives were scattered—neatly—on the living room table. Beside them sat chunks of amethyst and quartz for clear thinking. And she’d added a hint of rosemary to her usual lemon perfume this morning for awareness. But after a few hours bent over the notes and not getting anywhere, she’d decided to distract herself from the project. A watched pot never boiled, and a brain forced to come up with a solution did best when it didn’t know it was needed.

The vacuum glided over the dark-stained hardwood floors in the apartment. She glanced in the bathroom mirror as she passed by. The green face mask she’d slapped on needed to sit twenty minutes. That was about how long it took to get into all the nooks and crannies with the brush attachment.

Dancing her way down the hallway, she vacuumed up scattered lavender petals as well as rose, saffron and thyme. She hung her herbs and flowers from a double row of hemp twine strung along the hallway ceiling because it was drier there in the inner part of the building, and also, she loved the scents that infused the very walls and floor when walking through the front door.

Cleaning always put her in a good mood for reasons she would never admit to anyone else. Perhaps she’d share that detail with the witch Vika Saint-Charles, CJ’s wife. Vika was a clean freak, and she also owned a business that cleaned up dead paranormals from crime scenes.

Tamatha decided she could go forever without viewing anything dead, but that thought switched her brain back to the looming elephant crowding her forebrain. A whole pack of elephants, actually. The demon Edamite Thrash, who could be more evil than she’d ever suspected. And her grandmother and her zombie coven.

She had tried to call her mother again, but she still wasn’t answering. Petrina Bellerose would know what to do about this situation.

She hoped.

And after baking a chocolate cake earlier—and then eating a quarter of it—she’d finally banished the heavy dread she felt and had started to look at the situation rationally. Something did have to be done about zombie witches. And with the right information she would utilize her magic to help instead of hinder.

But what to do about Edamite Thrash and the possibility that, despite his dangerous and very mysterious lifestyle, she may be falling for him? Vika had recognized it in her, and so had CJ.

But did Ed feel the same toward her or was it as he suspected? Mere bewitchment. Could she enact a love spell without knowing it? Had she attracted him to her by crafty means even she hadn’t been aware of? Could a love spell work as her OCD magic did—reactionary?

He had been mean to her in his office earlier in an attempt to get her to leave. And then he’d kissed her! The man had to sort out his feelings for her because he was cold one minute and hot the next.
