Who cursed the celebrated cursebreaker Charlotte Hathaway, right in the middle of the Eldritch Library? Bella Hathaway is on the case after inheriting her aunt's townhouse full of dangerous artefacts and talking teapots. Only problem? She's not a cursebreaker. Bella has always been the quiet member of the daredevil Hathaway family, translating magical languages, wearing sensible skirts and avoiding perilous adventure. With the help of the beast next door and his sprawling library, it's time for Bella to step up to her family legacy, translate an untranslatable demon language, locate two archaeologists who went missing twenty-five years earlier, and figure out exactly why her aunt teamed up with a gang of gargoyle-stealing werewolves. Bella Hathaway is out of her element, but she's not going to let that stop her from solving this cold-blooded crime. A cozy fantasy series with vintage vibes and pointy teeth, from the author of Tea & Sympathetic Magic and Time of the Cat.

A short novel about pining archaeologists, curse magic, more gargoyles, the perils of academia and the world's worst country house party—today! It's also quite cozy, but a touch more angsty than the first one. Whatever happened to Colin Hathaway and Tag Gardiner, two dashing tomb raiders who disappeared mysteriously from an archaeological dig twenty-five years ago? The answer may surprise you! (It definitely surprised them)
