About The Hands That Treat
Magic. Murder. And a friends-to-lovers romance that burns hotter than a New Orleans summer.
The Hands That Treat is a paranormal romance that feels like the cult movie, Practical Magic, but set in a spell-binding, hurricane drunk New Orleans. This spicy, slow burn follows Ophelia Oubre, a magical healer in her 30s, on a journey to identify the serial killer haunting her family and friends. Her search for answers is revealed when she learns how to trust herself and accepts the help of an unsuspecting friend.
Ophelia lives unaware of the mystical world that simmers beneath the cracked streets and soddened earth of the Crescent City. The mysteries and magical gifts of her community are unveiled by her grandmother when Ophelia assumes the role as her family’s next Traiteur. Derived from the French word traiter (“to treat”), Traiteurs are Cajun healers with the unique ability to heal ailments through magic.
Once she embraces her treating gift, an exciting and enchanting world opens to Ophelia, and she is quick to embrace it. But darkness lurks. Ophelia is shaken when a serial killer begins murdering citizens at random, leaving behind cryptic messages written in blood. She has the distinct feeling that she's somehow connected to the murders.
Ophelia must uncover her relation to the murders, but she’s faced with obstacles and dead ends at every turn. Her journey to truth leads her through painful heartache, mind-numbing lust and a love she’s never known before.
The Hands That Treat was inspired by the Author’s late relative who was a Traiteur in Oakdale, Louisiana. This book was written as part of a planned series that follows the three Oubre sisters through otherworldly adventures in a supernatural New Orleans.
The Hands That Treat is perfect for fans of Bride by Ali Hazelwood and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab.
