Charming Springs - Where every day is colder than a witch’s kitty! After ditching her cheating fiancé, Indie Warren hits the road in her trusty old truck, refusing to settle for anyone or anywhere. But all that changes after Indie gets stuck in the frozen ghost town of Charming Springs, North Carolina. In the middle of July. This secret magical town was struck by a curse that brought on eternal winter and cast a barrier around it with no way in or out. And Indie knows this because the talking owl told her so, obviously. Suddenly Indie’s thrown into a world of magic, mayhem, and murder. And when she stands accused of the deadly deed, she’ll have to use her wits to prove her innocence… if she can keep her newfound magical powers under control! Even with the help of her feathered friend and the mysterious reaper with his own secrets, she’ll need to find her own way out of this cursed place—dead or alive.

Indie Warren's life has become very complicated. She's landed herself in a magical town with no way out from the frigid weather. She was the main suspect in a murder case and nearly died trying to prove her innocence. She can't seem to rid herself of the handsome and irritating town librarian. And she's discovered she has the power to control all four elements like no other witch or wizard before her. Not to mention her new best friend is a talking owl. Under the advice of her friends, she decides to accept the editor position at the Charming Springs Gazette, hoping to dig up information that will help her break the barrier spell around the town and find her way back home. What's another complication, right? Wrong. With the suspicious death of a college frat fairy, and the fairy residents of Charming Springs falling ill with a mysterious sleeping sickness, it's up to Indie and her feathered friend to piece together the source of it. Maybe running the town's newspaper is the least of her newfound worries...
