Newborn Cries & Underworld Ties
(2026)(Book 20 in the Mystical Midlife in Maine series)
A novel by Brenda Trim
Just when I thought surviving magical pregnancy and childbirth was the hard part, someone decides my three-month-old triplets would make excellent supernatural snacks.
Between Melaina accidentally melting baby bottles with her heat, Thaniel shorting out every electronic device in a two-block radius, and Nyssa's shadows reaching for things that definitely shouldn't be in a baby's mouth, I've got my hands full. Add a hooded attacker targeting magical infants across New England, and "sleep when the baby sleeps" becomes "sleep when you're not dodging magical assassination attempts."
The worst part? The attacks are coming from inside our own supernatural community. Someone we trust has been playing the long game and upping the stakes to claim my babies as the ultimate jackpot.
With Stella riding shotgun on our investigation, Nana providing tactical support and questionable childcare advice, and my family rallying around three tiny magical weapons of mass destruction, we're about to learn that some betrayals cut deeper than others. Because when you're responsible for protecting the next generation of supernatural badasses, everyone's a suspect—even the people who helped bring them into the world.
Good thing I've got excellent aim, a low tolerance for baby-threatening psychopaths, and a mate who considers "proportional response" more of a suggestion than a rule.
Some people collect stamps. Apparently, I collect enemies who want to steal my children's magic. At least my hobbies keep life interesting.
New mom, new magic, same old tendency to attract homicidal maniacs with delusions of grandeur.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
