Book excerpt: From a trio of New York Times–bestselling authors, a “quirky charmer . . . an enjoyable paranormal romp that’s definitely not just for dog lovers” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) Abby has just arrived in Summerville, Ohio, with her placid Newfoundland, Bowser. She’s reluctantly inherited her grandmother’s coffee shop, but it’s not long before she’s brewing up trouble in the form of magical baked goods and steaming up her life with an exasperating college professor. And then there’s Daisy, a coder, and her hyperactive Jack Russell, Bailey. Her tightly wound world spins out of control when she discovers the chaos within and meets a mysterious dog trainer whose teaching style is definitely hands-on. Finally there’s Shar, professor of ancient history at Summerville College, who wakes up one morning to find her neurotic dachshund, Wolfie, snarling at an implacable god sitting at her kitchen table, the first thing in her life she hasn’t been able to footnote. What on earth is going on in this unearthly little town? It’s up to Abby, Daisy, and Shar to find out before an ancient goddess takes over Southern Ohio, and they all end up in the apocalyptic doghouse . . . “Equal measures of sexy romance, captivating characters, and clever writing . . . [a] rich cast of quirky secondary characters (including one of the best villainesses ever written) . . . Dogs and Goddesses is absolutely sublime.” —Booklist (starred review)
