Tempest Crypt runs the hottest bar in Willow Tree Falls by day and hunts demons by night, all while keeping a stash of triple-chocolate brownies for emergencies. But when her sister Aurora is accused of murdering the town’s beloved mayoral candidate, everything deliciously unravels. Angel Force, the over-feathered celestial cops, want a conviction, and fast. And Aurora seems like an easy target.
Tempest, however, has attitude to spare, a sugar-obsessed hellhound named Wiggles, and absolutely zero intention of letting her sister take the fall for something she didn't do. What follows is a riot of magic, mayhem, small-town secrets, and sibling loyalty.
If you love sassy heroines, mischievous familiars, and mysteries with heart, this supernatural cozy serves it warm.
Shayla Loci, forty, formidable, and finally ready for a career pivot, retires from chasing supernatural criminals… only to land on Enchanted Island, where danger has her on speed dial. Her very first day as game warden turns into a murder investigation alongside a gargoyle sheriff raising a teen daughter!
Add in an estranged royal father, an overprotective bodyguard named Needles, and a teenager who needs witchy mentoring, and Shayla’s life becomes the magical definition of complicated.
This blend of midlife reinvention, found family, and charm-soaked mystery makes the island feel like a place you’ll want to wander. Minus the murderous residents, of course!
Jinx Hamilton thinks inheriting her quirky aunt’s shop in Briar Hollow will be a quiet fresh start. Instead, she gets enchanted inventory, four unpredictable cats, ghosts who treat the place like a hostel, and magical powers she never asked for!
Her new responsibilities escalate fast when a potential serial killer surfaces. But Jinx refuses to let fear close her doors or her heart. With her best friend and a charming neighbor at her side, she navigates life, magic, and murder one spell at a time.
It’s cozy chaos in all the best ways, wrapped in small-town warmth and a touch of supernatural sparkle.
Claire Caldwell just wants to sell her great aunt’s Arizona ranch and slip back to Chicago. The ranch, however, has other plans.
A copper-colored fox begins leaving gifts at her door. Ghostly cowboys wander the barn. A deceased aunt cooks tamales from beyond the veil. And everyone, living or dead, seems to know the truth Claire is still discovering: she can see spirits.
When a hated local turns up dead on her property and the sheriff shrugs it off, the ghosts insist on justice. With a magical fox, a chorus of opinionated spirits, and a too-handsome veterinarian who keeps appearing at the right moment, Claire must solve the crime before she becomes part of the ranch’s permanent ghostly population. Atmospheric, funny, and full of found family (alive and otherwise).
Kinsley Skeenbauer returns to Coventry after a messy divorce, a string of job losses, and a lifetime of trying to be ordinary. But Coventry isn’t ordinary—it’s the seat of two ancient witch families, one of which she’s supposed to lead (not that anyone asked her opinion).
When a man is found dead behind the diner, the town sheriff eyes her as a suspect. Between rediscovering her magic, dodging danger, and managing Meri, a black cat familiar whose one granted wish goes hilariously sideways, Kinsley must step into the power she’s avoided her whole life.
This story is warm, funny, and brimming with community love—perfect for readers who enjoy magical small towns with just a pinch of mischief.

Equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, this story celebrates second chances, found family, and the courage to begin again. Even when the ghosts are pushy.
