Langiappe & Lost Legends by Brenda Trim

For the Twisted Sisters, peace is a fleeting gift and the only constant in the Crescent City is magical mayhem and chaos…

When the tranquility of a quiet afternoon is shattered by the panic of a local magical merchant, I have to rally my sisters to respond. Solid Solutions, a magical shop in the French Quarter, is suddenly a haunted hotspot where lights flicker, objects move on their own, and eerie whispers fill the air out of nowhere.
At first it seems to be a standard challenge. After all, we’ve faced down plenty of stranger occurrences and no one knows weird better than we do. But when we arrive, everything feels different. The whole neighborhood, usually buzzing with spooky charm, is now crackling with an ancient energy that even Adèle, our resident energy sensor, can’t pinpoint.
The evidence suggests something sinister, and it doesn’t take us long to realize we aren’t dealing with your average spirits. This disturbance carries the hallmark of the Lost Legends, a notorious group of paranormal entities known for outright cruelty and a willingness to escalate hijinks and hauntings into dangerous territory. And that’s very, very bad.
Together we get to work digging through history, avoiding the traps set by invisible hands, and trying to piece together the mystery in time to prevent a disaster. But sorting through the French Quarter’s endless supernatural secrets to uncover the truth is no easy task in peaceful times, let alone with a malevolent force stirring up chaos all around.

We don’t have much time to save the day before the stakes become too high. And this time it will take a lot more than just uncovering ancient curses and thwarting sinister spirits to bring the paranormal world back into balance. The more we chase the thrill of this hunt, the more it seems our most recent peaceful break might very well have been our last.
