Recipe for Magic
(2026)(The first book in the Vampire Cat Cozy Mysteries series)
A novel by Ally Thomas
Menopause was supposed to bring hot flashes, not witchfire, murder, and a vampire cat with opinions.
At forty-nine, Elaine Mason thought the worst thing about ‘the change of life’ would be the night sweats. She was wrong.
After her Aunt Mabel dies and leaves her a bakery in the sleepy, slightly enchanted town of Sweet Tooth Hollow, Elaine trades city life for small-town quiet. She plans to bake, breathe, and rebuild her life after the divorce.
Instead, she gets hot flashes that spark actual fire, a recipe book that refuses to behave, and Sebastian, a talking black cat who insists he is a centuries-old vampire trapped in feline form.
Then a body turns up behind the bakery.
When the local sheriff finds scorch marks at the scene, Elaine’s brand-new witchfire goes from inconvenient to incriminating. To clear her name, she’ll have to trust her mysterious cat friend, decode her aunt’s secret recipes, and uncover why someone was willing to kill for the magic her aunt left behind.
Because in Sweet Tooth Hollow, every recipe has a little magic. And some are worth killing for.
