There’s a prominent threat on the block … and he might just be sharing Stormy Morgan’s roof.
She’s a new witch but she has a big problem … and it talks. Her new roommate Krankle may look cute but he’s a huge pain in her posterior. He’s also hiding something. Before she can focus on that, however, the unthinkable happens.
On the highway leading out of town, three vehicles are involved in an accident. One belongs to Harold Lautner, the former head of the senior center who went missing months before. He was presumed dead in a hunting accident, but now the truck he was driving at the time he fell off the face of the earth is front and center … and emergency crews say there’s nobody to save inside.
Hunter Ryan, Stormy’s boyfriend and a police officer in Shadow Hills, is chasing lead after lead but they’re going nowhere … and then things get worse.
A magical shadow, the type Stormy isn’t ready to fight, is taking over the town. The Winchester witches, who are eager to help, can’t offer much in the way of aid because their magic is being affected by the shadow. That leaves Stormy to solve things, and she has no idea how to do it.
Stormy is eager to learn but the curve is steep. Alone, she knows she will fail. That means her new friends have to pitch in and help … including Krankle.
Someone is lying. Someone is playing games. The answer to the question might be closer than it seems.
Stormy has a fight on her hands. Will she survive long enough to answer all the questions, or is she doomed to disappointment … and death?

Cozy Pairings

Brown Sugar Cinnamon is a warm, bakery-inspired fragrance that wraps you in the comforting sweetness of brown sugar and melted butter, gently spiced with cinnamon. Rich and inviting, this scent evokes the feeling of something freshly baked lingering in the air, soft and golden with just a touch of indulgence. Smooth and well balanced, it brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to any space, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and comforting.
Why we chose this: Stormy Morgan came home to Shadow Hills a failed novelist and discovered she is a witch, her high school boyfriend is the detective on every murder case she keeps accidentally stumbling into, and her family diner is somehow always at the center of everything. From Ouija boards and talking cats to gnome shifters and magical children, the trouble in Shadow Hills runs as deep as its secrets, but the diner is always there, warm and golden and smelling like something delicious. Brown Sugar Cinnamon carries exactly that quality, the scent of a kitchen where the ordinary and the extraordinary have made a comfortable home together, sweet and familiar and alive with the feeling that the most important things in life happen around a table. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a Michigan diner on a winter morning when the coffee is hot, the magic is surfacing, and Stormy is already three steps ahead of everyone except the one person she loves most.
