New from WEST STREET BOOKS

When Sam Melody, a hardworking private detective, marries Jasmine Pellitier, the consequences could be deadly. Jasmine seems like the perfect woman. She is actually a 2,500-year-old witch—pursued by ancient enemies who will stop at nothing to learn the secret of her powers.

Brian Dobbins’ new novel, Jasmine’s Husband Sam, blends supernatural ingredients and several genres into one delicious nouveau cuisine brew. Dobbins incorporates the supernatural into what begins as a basic gumshoe detective tale. Then he spices it up with extra helpings of witchcraft and adventure. While the story stews, a romance simmers, showing Dobbins clearly has all his burners cooking. The result is an engrossing literary feast that follows no recipe but his own.

Jasmine’s Husband Sam takes the reader from Sam and Jasmine’s adventures in modern-day New York City to her ancient beginnings and back again. Fighting a battle between good and evil, they elude their enemies, and keep their own love burning. In a fascinating new take on the witch-tale, follow Jasmine and the man she loves to a final showdown between the powers of Darkness and Light.
