As the music played…

…and the shadow landed...

She knew one thing. Somebody was marked for death.

Penny Nicols is an 18-year-old girl with the “gift” of seeing terrible omens. It has kept her from making friends. She doesn’t want the pain of being responsible for their demise. Always running from the Raven, she finds herself in the great northwest.

When does a paranormal gift become a curse?

The moment she sees her boss’ death in a cup of coffee.

Janice may have only 24-hours left.

Four hours away, over the internet, she makes a friend. A podcaster, T.C., who isn’t afraid of Penny’s ability, encourages her to solve the case and save her boss, but will they unravel the lyrical clues in time?

With the help of her snarky cat, Spades, they go deep into the mystery.

A truck almost finished Janice off, and Penny knows it won’t be the last close call.

You’ll love the first book in this new paranormal mystery series because Penny and Spades are the perfect team of sleuths to thwart the Raven’s plans.

Get it now.

This book begins with a wild premise. Penny Nichols is a generously proportioned, slightly manic twenty-something who shares her VW van living quarters with a housecat, Ace of Spades, (Spade. Spayed. Get it?) and who is blessed (cursed) with a paranormal talent for sensing whenever danger, death or dismemberment is about to be visited upon a total stranger, thus condemning her to a peripatetic existence, moving from one guilt-inducing episode to the next.

Whew!

I stumbled onto this series by sheer accident, and yes, I’m glad I did. It is fun, quirky, fun, heartfelt, fun, and furthermore fun. As for this particular chapter, it never quite clicked for me, and I found myself feeling indifferent as to who might be out to get who. Still, what did it matter? I had plucky Penny to keep me amused with her breezy, irreverent asides, and I’m sure if I’d started with book numero uno, everything would’ve fallen into place much more gracefully.

Still, as with most first-person narratives, it’s all about The Voice, and I can’t imagine a better vacation than spending a few more hours inside the head of the intrepid Penny Nichols.

Penny. Nickles. Get it?

An interesting premise

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2022

An interesting premise. How would you handle seeing an image and knowing someone is going to die? Would you be able to figure out how to stop it? You have 24 hours. Go. I stumbled across this book and almost didn’t read it because of the cutesy cover. But something about it intrigued me and I’m glad I picked it up. It was an entertaining mystery, with a plucky main character who continues to try despite her gift/curse. The story kept me turning pages to see how she would handle each situation thrown at her. The pacing was good and there were enough clues and red herrings to figure it out along with Penny. A fun read.

Good book but feels unfinished when you have read it. I still had a lot of questions left unanswered and it wasn’t good enough that I wanted to buy the next to get the answers didn’t feel that engaged. Still a good mystery plot

Grounded book 1 was a fun read! The main character has an interesting lifestyle, and I love her crotchety but lovable cat. There was action and suspense, and a new way to use hot coffee beans. I recommend this book and look forward to reading more by this author.

Fun Read

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

Fun, light, mystery! Love that this mystery is different than other mysteries due to the main character’s “supernatural” ability. However, what bothers me is that the cover image of the main character does not match the description of her in the book. I would read this book even if she was portrayed the way she is in the book.

witchy story

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2023

A fun story of a witchy like powered lady name Penny. She doesn’t have typically witch powers but a Raven she sees around people that are slotted to die. She moves around a lot and tries to save people from the Raven omen wherever she can.

Had me hooked from the beginning!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2022

Wow, main character Penny is quite an interesting character with a special “paranormal” gift which could be considered a curse as much as a gift. A twenty something year old loner by no choice of her own, gets more than she bargained for on her latest adventure as she takes up residence in yet another little town as she found employment enough to cover the minor expenses she needed to survive living out of her van. Her “gift” followed her to Rocky Grounds and Gifts shop. Ethical and caring, she is able to use her gift to for the good, but my, the stress in the process! You might call this a cozy mystery or a thriller. Either I think would be appropriate. There was definitely enough intensity to keep me turning pages way into the night. Who was the villain and who was innocent? Really hard to tell until the end. Had me hooked all the way through. Well done. Now I have to follow Penny on her next adventure in "Crushed."

Three and a half stars

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023

For a long time I just wasn’t sure what to think of this book. It starts with a rant that I didn’t understand much of and that made it hard to get into the story. But once most things were explained, I started liking it. But I never really took to the whole raven thing. I know Penny doesn’t understand it either, but it was a bit weird that the raven apparently chooses people who will die and doesn’t allow Penny to do anything to prevent it, so why show her, why? And that why question kept bugging me. All-in all, three and a half stars.

Cozy mystery type read with a super twist.

Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2022

Verified Purchase

An interesting novel of a girl who sees odd signs that need to be put together. Definitely a entertaining mystery with enough action to keep you reading. The twists and turns in this novel will keep you guessing. It's definitely a, crazy, ride that will keep you pleasantly engrossed for a couple hours. It's the first in a series that should prove to be quite popular.

Lighthearted Mystery

A well written, lighthearted look at many things - the supernatural, a small business and big plans. Quite enjoyable, not going into depth about anything makes this an easy read.
