Every Witch Way but Ghouls

2022

Welcome to the magical mystery of Crimson Cove. A spellbound town full of puzzles and twisty turns. Feisty enchanted hedgehogs with eye-watering gas, a half-dragon with an attitude, and a headless corpse aren't the best things to start the day with! But that's what we encounter in our first week working for animal control in Crimson Cove. We'd only come here to find a missing person but got more than we bargained for. As an enchanted cat, few things phase me, but even I wince when my wonderful witch, Zandra Crypt, finds a body missing its head. When the angels are stumped over who killed Osorin Greenbow, we poke around. It doesn't take long before we find a worrying connection to the body, a dangerous gang of magical criminals, and what happened to Zandra's mother (she's the missing person.) How will a plucky witch and a strikingly beautiful white cat (that's me) beat the gang, find the killer, and locate Zandra's mother? Care to find out and help me solve a murder, while I share a secret or two with you? Then welcome. The price of entry into this magical witch mystery is one head tickle and some finest fishy treats for me.

Every Witch Way but Vamped (Magical Misfits Mysteries, #2).

2022

Everyone says never trust a honey badger, but I'm not so sure... Crimson Cove already feels like home, but sometimes it's not always sweet. When I meet a misunderstood murder suspect, I know something is wrong. How did one bad-tempered badger destroy an ancient vampire? With my wonderful witch, Zandra Crypt, by my side, I poke my adorable booping snooter into this mystery to make sure the angels don't make a mess of the investigation. No innocent furball goes down for a crime they didn't commit when I'm around. While we snoop and question, we discover unhappy drones, an angry ex-girlfriend, and a vampire with designs on Crimson Cove. But which one of them had the power and opportunity to break into a locked room undetected and destroy a 500-year-old vampire? I'm about to find out. Care to join me? \\\* Enjoy this second Magical Misfits Mystery, featuring Juno the adorable talking white cat, her misunderstood sidekick witch, Zandra, and the friendships in the magical town of Crimson Cove.

Every Witch Way but Bitten

2022

How to bite an angel and get away with it? You don't. Not on my magnificent fluffy watch. When a visiting angel dies in mysterious circumstances in Crimson Cove, covered in bites that look like they were made by a ghoul, my wonderful witch goes into full-on panic mode. She's convinced her ghoul mother is the killer. But I'm not so sure... Ghouls are chaotic and dangerous to hang out with, but there's something bigger going on. How do simple bites kill an almost immortal creature? Who is leaving all those enormous footprints in the woods? And why do non-magicals keep getting through our protective wards? Shall we find out together? It's time to snoop through this puzzling murder mystery, make sure the angels don't find Zandra's ghoul mother, and ensure my newly emerging magic behaves. \\\* Join Juno and Zandra in their third cozy magical mystery adventure as they sort the clues, figure out how to have a ghoul for a parent, and avoid blasting any non-magicals who get in their way.

Every Witch way but Wolf

2022

How did the werewolf lose his head? No, it's not a joke. Crimson Cove is awash with warring werewolves. And I'm not purring. Werewolves mean trouble. And then there's the continued invasion of the non-magicals. Why are they here? How do they keep sneaking in? It's another thing that has my murder mittens twitching. When top werewolf negotiator, Emron Laker, loses his head, the trouble bubbles and risks boiling over as werewolves rampage and demand justice, putting my wonderful witch and all the non-magicals at risk. As reluctant as I am to put my witch in harm's way, we want the werewolves gone, so offer our services as part of our animal control duties to sniff out the killer (well, I'll be doing most of the sniffing!) We find troubled packs, unhappy bonds, and a den of issues. Things are about to get frisky. Want to tag along and see what we discover? \\\* Join Juno and Zandra in the fourth Magical Misfits Mystery, full of complicated suspects, puzzling clues, and a feast of furry problems.

Every Witch Way but Hidden

2022

It's time for Skull Dugger, Night Mare, and murder! Crimson Cove is full of tourists - many of them non-magical - and they're here to enjoy the Reverence Festival. Bring on the parade, food stalls, dancing, and fun. I enjoy a festival, but not when a non-magical is murdered, threatening the future of Crimson Cove if our magic is revealed to the world. When the victim is discovered to have magic, the mystery takes an unusual turn. Why did a magic user hide behind the guise of a non-magic user? Is this the reason he was killed? Throw in a feisty owl guardian, a secretive family, and distractions when Sammy misbehaves, and festival fun becomes a distant memory.
