Katie Trillo comes home to the house she shares with her sister Diana the witch, only to find her beloved sibling murdered. She realizes the killer is about to hit her with a hammer, but she deflects the blow with her hand. She learns her assailant's name is Benny Fisher, so she invokes Hecate and curses him before he flees.

The police arrest Benny, who has an alibi, but is still placed on a line-up with his twin brother Victor. Katie selects Victor whose fingerprints are all over her kitchen as her sister's killer. She realizes she cursed the wrong sibling. As Benny finds himself in several car accidents, Victor is freed as his lawyer makes Diana, Katie and Benny look like crackpots. Still she knows who murdered her sister and why, the Hecate Chalice. With Benny at her side, she travels to Greece where Victor has previously gone in his efforts to join the evil Comitatus secret society that searches for Goddess chalices, ultimately looking for the Grail.

SOMETHING WICKED, the latest Grail romantic fantasy, is an enjoyable tale starring two likable protagonists falling in love with one feeling guilty for cursing the wrong man, her beloved instead of his sibling. The cast makes the tale, as fans will take immense delight with the relationship between the lead couple, and hiss at the diabolical Comitatus members who cleverly make Katie and Benny look like crackpots, and give Victor an opportunity to join. Fans will appreciate the adventures of Katie and Benny as they do battle with his brother, supported by wealth and influence.
