About this series
It's a spooktacular time for Jolie and Ava as they have their hands full getting ready to cater Leavensport's annual Halloween Bash, as well as being in their third trimesters, getting ready for major life changes.
But things get more complicated when a major car accident leaves Jolie fighting for her and her twin girls' lives. Jolie finds herself in the Betwixt & In-Between World, where she meets up with her psychic relative, finding out more about her ancestry than she ever knew.
Ancestry, Madame Esme Emerald, Vampires draining life, blood, energy out of people equates to those in power for anyone that sits below the throne—ancestry—blue eyes.
Jolie's mind is playing tricks on her, leaving her wondering if she's dead, dying, or literally living in a different realm while fighting for her life.
One-half of the Bounty-Full Investigative Services is on the case, or is it more of a paranormal manifestation? This could be a first for Jolie as she takes on the underworld's spirits to rescue her great-grandmother's soul and get back to Leavensport in time to deliver her twins.
