A Fondant Farewell
Ever since she stumbled into the quaint village of Tillyhenge and discovered the enchanted chocolate shop run by her grandmother, Caitlyn Le Fey has been cooking up dreams of finding her long-lost mother and finally unwrapping the mystery of her past. But meeting Tara isn't the sweet reunion she'd hoped for: not only is her mother far from the gentle, maternal figure Caitlyn had imagined, she's also the prime suspect in a murder that's left the village in a stir. The locals are wary and suspicious of her, and even Lord James Fitzroy is turning a cold shoulder, in spite of his feelings for Caitlyn.
Desperate to clear her mother's name, Caitlyn plunges deeper into the sticky tangle of magic and intrigue. She knows Tara is a powerful witch with a ruthless, audacious streak-but is her mother really the bad egg in this recipe, or is there another culprit lurking in the shadows?
Meanwhile, the villagers are being spooked by superstitions and fearmongering, courtesy of Leandra, a woman with mysterious motives of her own. Plus, the hunt is still on for the Widow Mags's missing grimoire-a powerful "book of spells" that many would kill for. And what about Nibs, Caitlyn's mischievous kitten, who seems to have vanished without a trace?
Luckily, she still has her vampire uncle Viktor by her side (when he isn't busy searching for his missing fangs), not to mention her sassy cousin Pomona and her own budding magic powers. With Samhain Eve fast approaching, can Caitlyn conjure answers from this murky concoction of family secrets and dark magic to solve the mystery and bring peace to Tillyhenge at last? Or will this witch's brew of trouble bubble over?

Cozy Pairings
Sleepy Hollow is a warm and comforting fragrance that blends sweet pumpkin with rich molasses and soft brown sugar, gently spiced with cinnamon. Smooth and inviting, this scent captures the depth of baked pumpkin balanced with a subtle sweetness that lingers in the air. The result is a fragrance that feels both cozy and nostalgic, with a warmth that brings a sense of ease to any space.
Why we chose this: In the tiny English village of Tillyhenge, Caitlyn Le Fey is discovering that being a witch means solving murders through seasons of harvest festivals, masquerade balls, Midsummer bonfires, and autumn equinox celebrations, all while her grandmother's enchanted chocolate shop sits at the heart of everything. Sleepy Hollow is the candle for every book in this series, warm pumpkin and rich molasses and soft cinnamon, the scent of an English village at its most golden and a little bit gothic, sweet and spiced and alive with the feeling that something magical is always just around the corner. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like an afternoon in a chocolate shop where the recipes are ancient and the proprietor knows a great deal more than she is telling.
