Perfect for you if...

You love cosy mysteries with paranormal elements but want real stakes and genuine character development beyond the gimmick.
You enjoy stories set in tight-knit coastal communities where the setting feels like a character itself.
You're drawn to female protagonists who are figuring out their supernatural gifts while running actual businesses.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer hard-boiled detective work and logical puzzle-solving over intuition and spiritual themes.
You want your mysteries stripped of anything New Age or witchy—this leans heavily into both.
You're reading book two first and need zero context about Shay's backstory to enjoy the story.

About this book

Shay Myers, an intuitive gemologist and descendant of an Irish witch, owns a New Age tea shop in Bray Harbor on California's Monterey Peninsula. As a self-taught seer, she is learning to blend herbs and grow ingredients in a greenhouse on her shop's second floor. When Liam Madigan's Gran, a psychic from Ireland who reads tea leaves, encourages Shay to host a group reading, the evening takes a dark turn. A customer dies after consuming a toxic substance grown in Shay's greenhouse. Her assistant becomes the prime suspect, accused of intentionally serving the lethal brew. With help from Liam and her dog Spirit, Shay must clear her employee's name and save her business, Crystals & CuriosiTeas. As she investigates, she discovers clues that may lead her to the true killer before it's too late.
