Chilled to the Bone
Stormy Morgan is flying high. She’s engaged. She’s used to her new routine. She’s even learning about being a witch. All of that changes when a local podcaster’s house goes up in flames and a body is found inside.
Carl Winslow was not a nice man. He spent his time stalking local family vloggers so he could cast aspersions on their life choices. One family in particular draws his ire, and he fights with them the night of the fire. Are they to blame for the podcaster’s death, though?
Stormy and her fiancé Hunter Ryan are on the case, and the further they dig into Carl Winslow’s life, the more they realize that nothing in Shadow Hills is as it seems.
Stormy was already working against forces she didn’t see coming. There’s a conspiracy of people who were apparently waiting for her to manifest her powers working against her, though. They have plans for her. They also had plans for Carl.
As evidence begins mounting, it points to one particular person. Only Stormy is convinced it has to be someone else. She’s determined to get to the source of the death and destruction wreaking havoc on her once quiet small town.
She has to survive to find her answers, though, and that’s not a given.
It’s a race against the clock. Either Stormy finds what she’s looking for and stops Shadow Hills’ most recent threat, or everybody suffers in the wake of yet another bout of magical mayhem.
Who will survive? You’re about to find out.

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.
