Dark Ashes - Elenora Bello, #3

An ancient prison turned into a retirement home? Check. A senior resident bursting into flames while playing cards? Check. Trying to solve a case involving a baffling curse? In progress... As Elenora Bello's maternity leave will soon end, the psychic social worker worries about putting baby Aubrey in daycare, especially since her daughter could be supernaturally gifted. There's also a ghost hanging out in her kitchen.
And the family cat might not be what it seems. And then, Elenora foresees the gruesome death of an elderly woman who perishes of spontaneous combustion in a wealthy retirement home with a dark past. The chief of police wants the psychic to read the victim's ashes. And this time, not only does Elenora not have the urge to run and stay far away, but she feels compelled to get involved. As Elenora, Tom, Alex, and the witches get closer to understanding the cause of the elderly woman's eerie death, the heat kicks up a serious notch, and they must race to solve the case. Before another victim self-combusts. Dark Ashes contains a formerly reluctant psychic finally owning her surprising abilities, as well as sassy witches, touching moments and creepy bits, twists, and a found family that includes members from beyond the veil.
