Of Mice and Murder
Join a brooding antihero, a master criminal, a cheeky raven, and a heroine with a big heart (and an even bigger book collection) in this hot new steamy reverse harem paranormal mystery series.
When the local Banned Book Club lose their meeting room, Mina volunteers to host the group at Nevermore Bookshop (against Heathcliff’s muttered protests, of course). Little does she know this old biddies book club is about to turn murderous.
First, someone poisons Mrs Scarlett, then members of the book club start dropping like flies. Who in the village will turn to murder just to stop people reading a few dusty old books?
Mina’s got to figure it out quick, or her beloved teacher Mrs Ellis is next to die. Luckily, she’s got Moriarty, Heathcliff, and Quoth to help. That is if she can figure out her feelings for her three fictional men before the magical bookshop is torn apart by sexual tension.
They want her.
She can’t choose.
But maybe…she doesn’t have to.
The Nevermore Bookshop Mysteries are what you get when all your book boyfriends come to life. Read on only if you believe one hot book hero isn’t enough!

Cozy Pairings

Speakeasy is a rich and layered fragrance that opens with warm spice and soft smoke, blending cardamom, incense, and pimento berry. At its heart, notes of saffron, plum blossom, and tobacco leaves create a deep and slightly sweet warmth, while hints of licorice add a subtle intrigue. The scent settles into a smooth, lingering base of palo santo, patchouli, vanilla, and dark chocolate, bringing a soft sweetness to its darker edges. Complex and atmospheric, this fragrance feels warm, enveloping, and quietly captivating.
Why we chose this: A cursed bookshop is bringing fictional villains to life, Heathcliff is grumpy and tattooed and six feet four, Moriarty is sophisticated and evasive, and somehow Mina is both the prime suspect in a murder and the only one who can solve it. From banned book clubs turning murderous to Shakespeare festivals gone deadly to a writers' retreat where someone ends up killed by their own pen, the mysteries never stop coming and neither does the chemistry. Speakeasy is the candle for every book in this series, rich with smoky cardamom and dark chocolate and the deep warmth of palo santo and vanilla, a scent as layered and atmospheric as Nevermore itself. Light this candle and let the complex, slightly forbidden warmth fill the room like a bookshop where the stories have decided they are no longer content to stay on the shelves.
