Destined for Love and Danger

Sidrah Keeling, well-intentioned Boston clairvoyant and stalwart protector of her newfound family of psychics, purchases a country respite hours away from her grand Boston home.

Lazy Pond Farm, just outside the town of Macoun, Massachusetts, is an enormous fixer-upper, but it perfectly serves her agenda of fostering romance and promoting healing. In that order.

But instead, the group encounters trouble. Fate, as usual, has her own plans. Macoun—named after the apple—is infested with racists led by a man who harbors terrifying secrets.

Will Jenny, Max, Sidrah, Leon, and Bones (the fabulous five) have the power to change Macoun? Will they be able to rescue those who need saving? And what about love?
As the fates do battle, so will the lives between the wicked and the good. A twisted thread. Who will break?

In How the Wicked Run, romance, mystery, and adventure collide once more for this enchanting family of audacious clairvoyants.

My thoughts on How the Wicked Run

The gang is all back, including Bones, the fabulous dog character, to solve the latest mystery using their clairvoyant talents.

Sidrah purchases a country home that needs some “work” outside the town of Macoun, Massachusetts, for a bit of well-deserved vacation for her “found family” of clairvoyants.

Naturally, fate has other plans as they encounter a mystery and rampant racism from the town. When two ladies from town go missing, the gang jumps into action. Will they find the women in time for a rescue, or will it be a sad recovery operation?

There are twists and turns to keep the reader flipping the pages. This is a very hard book to put down.

Annabelle Lewis writes compelling mysteries mixing a little romance and a lot of humor into her stories. This is the third book in the series, but if you aren’t a stickler for details and can read for the simple enjoyment of a well-told tale, How the Wicked Run can be read as a stand-alone story.

I  received a digital copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

About Annabelle Lewis

Annabelle Lewis Author Profile image

Annabelle Lewis—a pseudonym for the author—lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Regrettably? Perhaps. She still believes she’s a Texan even though the math no longer supports that. Nor her birthplace. Nor her residence. No offense, Minnesota. You’ve got your good points too, but only about six months of the year.

In her youth, Annabelle was a complete failure. Ask anyone who knew her. Any of her teachers and family would tell you this. High school graduation was a sad day for all when Annabelle walked proudly off the high school stage, her thoughts consumed with boys, beer, and after-parties, and later into the arms of her parents. Her father’s laughter and singular remark? “I didn’t think you’d make it. Get a job at the post office, they have a good retirement plan.”

A high bar and words to live by, but Annabelle wanted more. She needed to flunk out of college too. But damn, she sure did have a good time. Trivial arrest records not-withstanding, it was a growth period for our girl. And if you look closely, you’ll see a bit of what was to come when she majored in criminal justice. Her lifelong aspiration was to become a judge. Hmm.

For better or worse, Annabelle didn’t graduate from college but did find gainful employment and a fulfilling career. This path ended when she became a mom. Married to her wonderful George, who to this day can hardly remember an actual proposal, Annabelle finally became a mother. She didn’t have a clue how hard she would need to work to keep those self-imposed requirements of Downey-fresh, iron-pressed sheets, home-baked meals, and mom-of-the-year awards arriving. She composed a small self-affirmation song and made her children sing it to her for money. She was a very good mom.

After clearing the largest hurdles of motherhood and regrettably, begrudgingly, and not-without-tears, launching her children onto the world, she looked around and realized she had a lot to say. Picking up a laptop, she got to work.

Annabelle spends her days continuing to tackle the challenges of motherhood, for both her humans and canines. She also writes. And reads. And cleans. And cooks. And bakes. And cleans again. She also supports her husband, George, in an administrative capacity for their small business. She’s in charge of payroll and cuts George’s checks. This leads to no marital acrimony.

In the beginning, with the blank page staring at her and possibly in a hostile mood after being literally mauled by a dog and by the world in general, she had an idea. What if she could wield a force of good upon unsuspecting evil-doers? What if she had the resources to get the job done without dealing with committee and anyone else’s whiney-ass opinions?

It was gold. It took off. Annabelle sat down and began to write and couldn’t stop. To date, having written over a million words in the Carrows Family Chronicles and her second series on the Boston Clairvoyants, several items have become quite clear. Annabelle had a lot to say. Annabelle really enjoys writing. And although she hates all things technology, she begrudgingly pounds her head on her desk daily as obstacles are thrown in her path. Almost a hero.

Since entering her world of make-believe, she has rebelled against all intrusion of real-world responsibilities. Her house is a mess, but she tries. Her family is fed, but more often than not, on takeout. She vows to shower every day, but no, it’s a vow she’ll never keep. Her friends are neglected, but not in her heart.

Read her mordacious blog! Read her books! Follow her on social platforms! Sign up for her newsletter! These are all good things. What are you waiting for? Jump into bed with Annabelle. She’s having a swell time. You should join her.

Guest Post from Annabelle Lewis

What if Destiny Roamed the Streets? She just doesn’t know it.

I’ve used those tag lines to sell my Boston Clairvoyants series, because I think it’s an exciting concept and storyline. I like the idea of someone being able to change the course of other’s lives by their actions, or their mere presence at a fortuitous moment. The what if . . . someone was purposefully delayed one minute in their day which in turn placed them at a spot in time which prevented some accident or death. The what if . . . someone you met knew to hook you with someone who needed your particular help. And that hookup changes the world. Like the butterfly effect where a small change will result in different experiences than what would have been.

My trilogy on the Boston Clairvoyants takes this concept and runs with it. I’ve used a mythologically-based hierarchy with a battle between the Three Sisters of Fate and the God Apollo as the germination and wave pushing the characters where they are meant to go.

And along with a mysterious dog, (love her!) my characters shovel up the evil. A purposeful destiny meant to tip the scales to the side of good. But not if the God Apollo has his say.

In How the Wicked Run, (book 3 in the series but a stand-alone read) my characters encounter a town where a hate group dwell, led by an evil man with terrifying secrets.

Who will prevail in this one? Read it

  1. Hands down the most engaging bio I’ve ever read! If her books are anywhere close to being that charming I can see why she’s doing so well as a writer ~ bravo!

  2. Anita Yancey

    Love the review. Sounds like a good read, and I like that it has humor and romance too.

  3. Hello Gina,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful post, your terrific website, and the great review. I’m absolutely thrilled that you liked How the Wicked Run! Sometimes with a multiple genre series, readers aren’t sure what to expect, so thanks for helping to get the word out. The characters are speaking to me, (or barking at me) waiting to be born again and set on another adventure so I better get writing. 🙂 My very best to you for taking the time to help this author, Annabelle Lewis
