Possession: A Memphis Magic Novel

Aubry Brooks, a witch who doesn’t practice her magic very much, helps her aunt and grandmother run Memphis Magic, a quaint shop that provides an assortment of services, such as therapy, past life regressions, and more. Aubry typically runs the business side of Memphis Magic. That is until one day a mother comes in asking for assistance in locating her missing daughter. Aubry finds herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. With no one to help this poor woman, Aubry uncomfortably agrees to perform a séance. This botched séance results in Aubry becoming possessed by a demon known as Damion Blackmon. While they both attempt to exorcise him in numerous ways, he also agrees to help Aubry find out who killed her best friend, Maddie. It’s the least he could do for her, right?

While “Possession” is a paranormal romance, the mystery of who killed Aubry’s best friend will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Ms. Hagan does a good job of propelling the story forward and keeping the momentum going with the twists and turns throughout. The banter between Aubry and Damion is just the right amount of steamy and hilarious. They obviously annoy each other to no end but are simultaneously obsessed with one another. They are definitely in close quarters, making it difficult for them to not fall head over heels for each other. Overall, the character development is well done. The side characters, however, are a bit tough to differentiate. Nevertheless, “Possession” is a sinfully sweet page turner that readers are sure to enjoy.
