Banshees in the Basement

TGIF used to mean happy hour drinks or curling up with delivery pizza. But when you live in an inn for paranormal beings, the end of the week often signals the beginning of chaos.

And this Friday? A banshee has invaded the basement, I’ve shifted from human to cat three times in one day (a personal record I never wanted to set), and my confidential files at SPA headquarters have mysteriously vanished.

Getting rid of the shrieking banshee is priority number one, and all we have to do is solve a local murder.

Easy enough, right?

The suspect pool quickly narrows to four grieving family members, but it doesn’t take long for the waters to muddy as secrets and resentments bubble to the surface.

Between vengeful spirits, family feuds, and my own mysterious past catching up with me, surviving until Monday is looking less likely by the hour.

Maybe I’d be better off as a full-time cat after all.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Mahogany & Teakwood

Mahogany & Teakwood is a grounding fragrance that blends deep mahogany and oak with a touch of soft musk. Warm and woodsy, this scent feels smooth and well balanced, with a gentle depth that lingers in the air. The polished wood notes create a sense of warmth and stability, while the light musk adds a subtle softness, making the overall fragrance both bold and inviting. It brings a refined, atmospheric quality to any space, like stepping into a room filled with history and character.

Why we chose this: A woman who discovers she is a witch when she shifts into a cat under stress, placed in a paranormal witness protection program at an inn full of monsters, and now navigating fairy godmother conferences, banshees in the basement, and cold case murders with the help of her unexpected new family. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, grounding warmth of a series about someone building a life in a place she never planned to be, the scent of old wood and spaces that hold their people close. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the rich depth of mahogany and oak fill the room like an inn where the guests are unusual, the mysteries are frequent, and the found family waiting on the other side of all of it is entirely worth it.
