'To call Gran eccentric is somewhat of an understatement. She has questionable fashion sense, cough, can anyone say bedazzled Ugg boots and a tutu? But my Gran? She is awesome. So when she suggested I buy The Dusty Attic Bookstore I was all in, after all, what could go wrong?

'Try finding my high school nemesis dead on the floor for starters. Now I'm on the suspect list! Okay, so I just need to find the killer, clear my name, and pass my witches exam. Oh, didn't I mention that? Yeah, seems the stunt I pulled on my cheating ex-fiancee cost me not only my job, but my magic.

'My name is Harper Jones and this is not how I expected my return to my magical hometown of Whitefall Cove to go.'

'Is a quiet life in the magical town of Whitefall Cove too much to ask? Apparently, for Harper Jones, it is. With the annual fundraising ball on the horizon, all of Harper's dreams go up in smoke.

'Just as her grandmother gears up to finally take down the Decadent Desserts Competition reigning winner, the former victor is found dead. With Gran as the number one suspect, Harper has her hands full trying to clear her grandmother's name while also attempting to keep two covens from taking out the other.

'But these feuding covens, filled with cranky, elderly witches, will stop at nothing to prove who has more power and spark. As spells backfire and the town feels the wrath, can Harper uncover the Whitefall Cove murderer before the next spell is cast?'

'Tick Tock. Time is running out.

'My parents are missing in outback Australia. Only they've left me clues. Clues that tell me they were close to a significant discovery - the location of a copper scroll that leads to untold treasures. A scroll that treasure hunters would kill for.

'Now I'm in a race against time. Together with my Gran, best friend Jenna, my familiar Archie, and bad boy lawyer Blake Tennant, we head to an outback town called Arrowstrand, where the locals are hiding their own secrets, and I must rely on my magic and blind faith to venture into the unknown.

'The stakes have never been higher; can I reach my parents before it's too late or will they be lost forever?'

'Finding a body washed ashore in Whitefall Cove was not how I wanted to start my day.

'I much preferred to face the morning with a hot strong caffeinated beverage, but alas, we can't always have what we want. Out on a morning stroll with my familiar, Archie, I couldn't believe my bad luck when we stumbled upon the body of local teenager Emily Sherman washed up on the beach.

'Unable to resist the lure of solving the mystery, I immediately set about finding her killer, but untangling a growing list of suspects isn't as easy as I'd initially thought. With an election looming and Councilor Griffin's nephew caught up in the net, the pressure is on to find out whodunnit and close the case.

'Let's not mention working side by side with newly single detective Jackson Ward. Murder, mischief, and mayhem I can take in my stride, but a date with Jackson? That's enough to have my magic sparking in nervous anticipation.'

'A Druid, a Sorceress, and a Demon Hunter walk into a bar ... sounds like the start of a joke, right? Only it's no joke. Whitefall Cove is over-run with otherworld creatures and this trio is our only hope.

'With townsfolk possessed and goblins running amok, the last thing we need is a murder, but someone is out for blood, and I fear it's mine. Llewellyn the demon hunter is convinced I'm some powerful witch that needs protecting, and as more and more bizarre occurrences pile up, I'm starting to think he might be right.

'Can the supernatural threesome free our town from the grip of terror the demons have wrought, or will the darkness that I can sense coming -- the one that is creeping closer and has eyes that glow red in the night -- finally be my undoing?'

'Tiny the giant fairy is intent on making life difficult for the residents of Whitefall Cove. But what happens when the cranky mechanic turns up dead in her garage?

'Tiny and I have something in common. We share a birthday. So when a mysterious gift turns up on my doorstep that could have had me joining Tiny in the ever-after, I'm immediately suspicious. Add to that Tiny's death was staged to look like an accident and I'm convinced foul play was involved.

'While I'm busy searching for clues, Gran is busy creating havoc at her new role as Advanced Potion's teacher at Drixworths Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She's already on her third warning and I fear the powers that be will not be embracing her unorthodox teaching methods anytime soon.

'When another body drops, coincidentally sharing a birthday with Tiny and me, I have a sneaking suspicion the killer will not quit until I'm dead. With my birthday celebrations on hold, I call the murder club to order—we have a mystery to solve and a killer to catch.'
