Blue Jay's, a midtown speakeasy in 1920s Manhattan, colored with lively jazz, frivolous banter, wild dancing, dazzling cocktails, frightful events, and Manhattan scenery, immerses us in the phantastic period called The Jazz Age. Paranormal activity shrouds the romances of three couples who frequent the popular club, affecting their lives through spells, nightmares, and amulets. Carlotta, a Blue Jay's regular, is an insecure young woman with questionable morals. When she encounters two men who have other romantic interests, she views them as potential victims to help her achieve her desires. Through her treachery, their lives become inextricably intertwined, much to their regret. Carlotta's one hope for fame is that she is an accomplished jazz violinist. She follows the teachings of a 'sex club' and dabbles not only in the art of seduction, but in the dark arts, using sex magick. By casting spells on men in order to seduce them, she believes that, if during the sex act, she focuses deeply on her personal desires, she can manifest her career goals. A compelling story layered with humor, dark fantasy, romance and captivating characters, this provocative tale will keep the reader enthralled.
