A relaxing weekend getaway turns deadly.
When a girls’ weekend getaway turns into a locked-room mystery, Samantha Reitenbach finds herself trapped with secrets, suspects, and a sizzling magical warning.
Still reeling from a heart-wrenching trip to the Underworld, bakery owner and amateur sleuth Samantha Reitenbach agrees to a much-needed escape with her fairy bestie, Nikki Bloom. Their destination? Crimson Pines, a quaint 1800s-style town hosting an exclusive estate auction at the eerie Ravelle Hall.
But the mansion’s secrets run deeper than velvet wallpaper and creaky chandeliers. The late Alaric Ravelle, once the most famous missing vampire in history, left behind a trove of magical artifacts and at least one dangerous enemy.
When an attempted theft of a cursed amulet sets off a chain of magical mayhem, a rising flood traps everyone inside. The power goes out. The amulet burns hot in Samantha’s hand. And someone in Ravelle Hall isn’t who they claim to be.
