Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Betrayal

Would you betray your friends to save them?

It has been months since Lily Singer’s harrowing adventure in England, yet there has still been no word of her father or Morgan le Fay. Far from being able to relax, Lily has been kept busy doing the last thing in the world she ever imagined: dating Sebastian Blackwell.

Insanity must run in her family.

Things start to get interesting—that is, bothersome and entirely inconvenient—when former beau and FBI agent, Richard Grant, asks for help investigating a series of occult-related murders. Lily would rather decontaminate Sebastian’s mold-ridden car than open that can of worms, yet she might not have a choice. For a whisper has spread throughout the magical underworld—a rumor of creatures that will pit friend against friend and resurrect shadows from the past.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Book of Spells

Book of Spells is a deep and atmospheric fragrance that blends the richness of dark chocolate with smooth sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea. Warm and layered, this scent carries a subtle dryness reminiscent of aged pages, balanced by a soft, lingering sweetness. The result is a fragrance that feels both grounding and slightly unexpected, with a warmth that settles gently into the space. Rich without being heavy, it creates an inviting, bookish atmosphere that lingers beautifully in the air.

Why we chose this: Wizard Lily Singer manages library archives, studies magic, and tries very hard to keep her witch friend Sebastian from dragging her into trouble. She rarely succeeds. From haunted houses to time loops to ancient evil in the English countryside, the adventures keep finding her whether she wants them to or not. Book of Spells carries the deep, atmospheric bookishness of Lily's world, dark chocolate and warm sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea that smells like an archive full of carefully catalogued secrets. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a library where the magic is always one shelf away from where you were looking.
