When my biggest fan showed up in Holiday Hills, I was flattered—and a little annoyed, but she was harmless… until her obsession took a darker turn. She claimed to know my that I’m not just a writer of witchy cozy mysteries, but a real-life witch. I wasn’t the only one she targeted, either. Soon, her wild accusations sent ripples of panic through our magical town, and someone decided to shut her up. Permanently. Now, I’m caught in the middle of a real murder mystery. With the town’s secrets hanging by a thread and a killer on the loose, I must uncover the truth before our world is exposed—or someone else ends up dead.
