Hell Hath No Fury by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Millicent is a Deputy Sheriff in Juniper lake and she is about to find out some information which is going to make her head spin. Sheridan is a hedonism demon and has decided to stick around in Juniper lake with her friend Delilah, but she has had her head turned by a certain Deputy Sheriff and can’t get her out of her mind, despite efforts to the contrary.

Millicent has been wondering why things seem different in the town, it isn’t the two dead bodies and a missing person, the FEDs were called in to deal with that one, but still something is off, the other Deputy and Sheriff have been avoiding the station and asked Millicent to pull doubles, but she isn’t happy and knows that there is something they aren’t telling her. She finally has a day off and all she wants to do is sleep and eat, but when she hears someone whispering her name when nobody is there, she gets a weird feeling which she can’t shake, so she gets a shower, gets dressed, feeds and waters her cat and heads to the station anyway, she doesn’t feel safe at home anymore. She is prepared for a scolding when she gets there, but she is not prepared for what she is told, she is not prepared for the supernatural and finding out what happened to the cold cases she is looking over again. Once Millicent is told about what really happened, she refuses to believe it and storms out of the station, but when she gets home, things start to get weird again, when a gift turns up in her car and pretty soon after disappears again, then the same thing happens when she sees a face in front of her and finally her cat careers into the open door of the car and starts yowling at the top of her lungs.

After a sleepless night filled with dreams of corpses and demons, Millicent prepares coffee and something to eat, meanwhile her cat is hissing at an envelope which has just appeared out of nowhere, there is no address or stamp on it, just her name and one line of writing inside, but it is so vague she has no idea what it means, then as soon as it appeared, it disappears and her cat flies out of the cat door and feeling that there is nothing else she can do, Millicent heads to the station to start work for the day. At lunch time, she heads to the general store for groceries and takes it straight home to put away, she notices some fuschia roses on the porch with another vague note, as she goes to pick it up, the roses die and disappear, again there is no clue who sent them, so when she gets back to the station and sees a tray of cookies, she starts to panic until she finds out that they are from Sheridan, a friend of Delilah’s who she has a crush on and has had since she first met her.

When the next disappearing gift arrives, but when she tries to get rid of it, it just keeps on coming back and the creepy thing is that it looks like her, so finally she gives in and talks to DDelilah and Sheridan, but when things escalate, the rest of the others are brought in to help. Will they be able to find out who is stalking Millicent before it is too late and will Sheridan be able to protect her as much as she wants to or will Millicent be lost to the supernatural world before she can understand it? The only way is to follow along the adventure with them.
