Carolyn Ridder Aspenson brings the magical town of Holiday Hills to life. Welcome to Holiday Hills where magic is part of everyday life—and so are mysteries. As a cozy mystery author, I love books. All kinds of books, but especially fiction. But when a powerful spell book goes missing from The Enchanted Bookstore and Cafe, fiction takes a backseat to reality. The missing book isn’t just any book—it holds magic that could change everything in town, and not necessarily for the good. With my sharp-tongued cat familiar, Cooper, and an unexpectedly helpful detective, I’m determined to track down the thief before the worst happens. But in a town full of secrets and magical mischief, finding the truth won’t be easy. And the clock is ticking.
