Death dropped on the doorstep. Waverly Windswept is the newest witch on the Isles of Mer—not the best thing to be when a body drops on her doorstep, and all the clues point in her direction. Determined to expose the real murderous leech, Waverly’s on a new hunt that ropes in her semi-criminal sister, and a sexy private investigator carrying a host of his own secrets, as they try to thwart members of a growing cult, and uncover the clues to find the ancient treasure of a goddess. Will Waverly beat the noxious spell of a death-dealing devil, or end up smothered by the seashore?

A clock is counting down, but Waverly Windswept doesn’t know it…yet. She’s too busy coping with a breakup, figuring out her life, keeping a side eye on her hopefully redeemed sister, and collecting the clues to find a buried fortune that could make a snarky-witch rich. But then, a corpse washes up on the Isle of Mer, the body of a VIP to the island’s survival, and Waverly is swept up in a tsunami of sinister con-games, obsessed cult followers, and snooty, scheming suspects happy to commit murder to make their deepest desires come true. There’s a bigger game with mortal consequences happening, and to win it, Waverly must become the witch she’s meant to be—or die trying.
