Lena Hartwell thought she'd survived everything.
Divorced. Menopausal. Accidentally magical. She's faced murder charges, ancient gods, crossword curses, rampaging golems, stolen grimoires, estranged daughters, necromancers, manticores, Fae bingo, vengeful yurei, and cursed coffee.
But nothing prepared her for this.
Tax season.
An IRS auditor arrives at her door?except he's not human. He's a celestial angel named Uriel, complete with shimmering wings and a briefcase full of cosmic paperwork. His verdict: Lena's coven is a "non-prophet organization" operating without proper prophetic credentials.
Translation: they owe forty-seven years of back taxes. With interest.
To save her coven from dissolution, Lena must do the unthinkable: audit the Underworld's ledgers. With her partner David, her coven's bookkeeper Rosa, and a grumpy Mandrake who refuses to be left behind, Lena descends into an office building from hell?literally.
The Underworld is not fire and brimstone. It's a bureaucratic nightmare. Endless cubicles. Demons in suits. A Head of Accounts named Malcolm who smiles like he knows something she doesn't.
What Lena finds in the ledgers shocks her: someone has been sabotaging her coven for years. And the trail leads back to an old enemy?Isabel Vance.
Now Lena must confront Isabel, balance the Underworld's books, and prove her coven's worth before the celestial deadline. Because if she fails, her magic will be sealed forever.
Taxes & Tarot is the tenth book in The Crystal Hollow Series?a twenty-book journey perfect for fans of Practical Magic, Good Omens, and anyone who believes that tax season is the scariest thing of all.
What readers are saying about the series:
"Finally, a fantasy heroine who fights angels and audits demons in the same week."
"I laughed. I cried. I finally understand my own taxes. (Okay, that last part is a lie.)"

The IRS is here. The angels are watching. And the only thing standing between Lena's coven and celestial disaster is a menopausal witch with a calculator and a very grumpy plant.
