Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy cosy mysteries with a paranormal twist and don't need graphic violence to feel genuine tension.
  • You like protagonists who are clever and resourceful but still reluctant heroes dealing with family obligations.
  • You appreciate world-building where magic is woven into everyday life, like a bakery run by witches in a hidden town.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer dark, gritty mysteries where characters make morally grey choices without redemption.
  • You want romantic subplots to be front and centre; this is mystery-first with romance as background flavour.
  • You're looking for standalone stories, as this is book one of a series with threads that won't resolve here.

About this book

After a series of unfortunate events and betrayal by a former friend, the protagonist returns to Winterspell, a small community in Eastern Washington where magic is prevalent and humans are not permitted. She moves into her parents' guest room, worried she may never leave again. Winterspell's main attraction is the Sugar Shack, a magical bakery owned by her parents that creates enchanted sweets. To earn room and board, she must help with baking and selling cupcakes and macaroons alongside her family. However, Winterspell faces a crisis. Local news reports that a dangerous sea serpent has killed three missing girls. Driven by her background as a journalist, the protagonist investigates the deaths herself and discovers something far more deadly than initially reported—something that makes her regret leaving the bakery. This is the first book in a paranormal cozy mystery series featuring magic, mystery, family conflict, and a mysterious monster hunter.
