Description
Two Bizarre Deaths. Magic In Danger. And An Ancient Grudge.
When all roads lead to murder, a death curse really isn’t your biggest bugbear…
Dark witch Cyn is on the run from a cranky employer, her inner idiot, and the family curse (not necessarily in that order).
Dan, art thief on probation, despises the paranormal with a passion. But to get his baby daughter back, he’ll suffer a whole gaggle of the gifted.
With the competition in hot pursuit and a slow-burn romance sparking between them, Cyn and Dan chase after Leonardo Da Vinci’s missing formula, supposed to protect dying magic from the fallout of modern hi-tech.
Instead they find first a corgi mongrel, then a corpse.
And a miniature Da Vinci glider.
Someone will go to extremes to get hold of Da Vinci’s formula—and if they’re unlucky, it’s the maestro himself...
“Cursed Out Loud”, the second book in the Da Vinci series of paranormal murder mystery adventures, will keep you laughing—and guessing—right to the very end of this witty fantasy. If you like Janet Evanovich, Colleen Helme, and Genevieve Cogman, this suspenseful short novel will have you rooting for team Cyn and Dan.

Advance Praise
Praise for Book 1:
""Hansen's writing crackles with energy. Dialogue snaps, world-building slides in seamlessly, and every scene feels alive. The humor lands without derailing the tension; when explosions go off in Da Vinci's bedroom or whispers rise from behind locked doors, the suspense feels earned. The blend of sharp wit and eerie atmosphere gives the book a rhythm that's hard to put down.""-Literary Titan-
""Lina Hansen has conjured up something deliciously twisted in ""Spelled in Ink""—a world where magic is getting ghosted by smartphones and someone's getting literally ghosted by murder. It's like watching your grandmother's crystal ball get defeated by Google Maps, except with more corpses and considerably better character development.""-Netgalley
