Real Fake Hauntings
Pumpkins, witches, and murder. It's a haunted Halloween!
Halloween has arrived in Olmeda, and someone’s celebrating by leaving bloody pentagrams all over the city. As the resident official witch, it’s my job to figure out what the pentagrams mean and if they’re more of a threat than a prank. Extra points if I find out who did it before they ruin the best holiday of the year, one I plan on spending with Ian.
But finding the culprit is harder than expected—nobody saw anything and there’s no shortage of suspicious paranormals. In the words of my new personal motto: everyone is a suspect.
Things get even more complicated when I find one of my suspects dead.
In my shop.
Big Mistake. The gloves are off now, and good luck to whoever is wreaking havoc in my town, because Hell hath no fury like a good witch bent on maintaining her shop’s reputation while saving Halloween!
Join Hope in her quest to have the best witch shop in the Urban Fantasy world of Good Bad Magic, featuring witches, shifters, demons, one sexy bounty hunter, and all kinds of magical creatures. Full of humor, banter, plenty of heart, and a slow-burn romance.

Cozy Pairings

Witches Brew is an earthy and softly floral fragrance that opens with warm clove and gentle spice, creating an immediate sense of familiarity. At its heart, delicate violet brings a subtle sweetness that lifts and softens the richness of dark patchouli. The base is deep and grounding, with smoky, woodsy notes that linger in the air, balanced by a soft warmth. Smooth and atmospheric, this scent feels both comforting and a little unexpected, blending warmth, earth, and soft florals into something subtly captivating.
Why we chose this: Hope runs a witch shop on the strength of her grandmother's legacy and a positive attitude, and keeps getting pulled into magical investigations despite having modest power and extremely good intentions. From dark magic potion requests to Halloween pentagrams to cursed movie sets and upside-down magic plaguing the town, the trouble never stops and neither does Hope. Witches Brew carries the earthy, warm, community-rooted depth of a series where magic is domestic and personal and tied up with family, the scent of a small shop where the spells are carefully made and the heart behind them matters more than the power. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the grounding warmth fill the room like a witch shop on a busy day when the affirmations are posted on the wall and something is definitely about to go sideways.
