In Valentine Vale, love is in the air.
Unfortunately, so is murder.
Hollis Merribell is just a courier—she delivers packages, keeps her head down, and absolutely does not solve crimes. But when she finds beloved listener, emotional linchpin, and professional heart-holder Liora Ashcombe dead at her own tea table, Hollis is suddenly way over her delivery quota.
The official verdict? A peaceful passing.
Hollis’s verdict? Absolutely not.
With the help of her miniature reindeer familiar (dramatic, judgmental, and allergic to nonsense), Hollis starts asking questions the Cupids of Valentine Vale would rather ignore. Why was a calming charm still active? Why did half the district feel entitled to Liora’s time? And why does everyone seem more concerned with keeping Valentine Vale romantic than finding out who sat across from Liora… and watched her die?
As heart-shaped décor gets vandalized, secrets spill faster than enchanted tea, and ‘love’ starts looking a lot like motive, Hollis must untangle obsession, entitlement, and weaponized calm—before the killer decides one meddling courier is one heart too many.
Hearts and Hexes is a cozy paranormal mystery packed with sharp banter, magical murder, Valentine chaos, and one reindeer who is very clear that this is not in his job description.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
