TOLLING BELLS & DARK SPELLS (Book 1)🏆 Voted a Top 10 First Cozy of 2023 by CozyMystery.com
After Windsor Ebonwood's love life and career vanish in one fell swoop, she inherits an unusual bookshop and charming home on Darkly Island. But discovering the town alderman impaled on a gravestone wasn't on the books—nor was finding out about her family's legacy as powerful witches. With her sarcastic one-eyed cat familiar Pyewacket by her side, Win must solve the murder before the killer strikes again. Because in Darkly, there are more than fireflies and gators lurking in the swamp.
FALLING LEAVES & VILE DEEDS (Book 2)Win is looking forward to Darkly's Gumbo Festival—a weekend of music, autumn ales, and quality time with hunky shifter Keir Bane. But when she stumbles onto a dead body at the pumpkin farm, suffocated by a prize-winning pumpkin, her cozy fall plans unravel. When a second victim is murdered and Win's half-sister Elspeth is arrested, Win can't resist investigating. But digging into this mystery exposes a long-held Ebonwood family secret that makes Win wonder if she ever really knew her family at all.
CHRISTMAS CAROLS & YULETIDE PERILS (Book 3)Win is dreaming of a cozy Christmas filled with carols, cocoa, and candlelight. But when the annual Cold Moon Gala ends with a gruesome murder bearing the signature of the legendary Christmas Witch, Frau Perchta, Win's holiday plans take a sinister turn. As whispers of Perchta's monstrous minions swirl through the swampy mist and a second victim is discovered, yuletide cheer turns to dread. Can Win solve the mystery before the killer strikes again?
