Once Bitten, Twice Dead
Ten years ago, teenagers Shauna and Eli Eaton disappeared. They were never found. That’s about to change.
On her way home from Hemlock Cove, Stormy Morgan finds two teenagers in the middle of the road. They can’t possibly be the same teenagers, though. Can they? Turns out they are, but they haven’t aged a day.
Nobody understands how the teenagers are back. The teenagers don’t know where they’ve been. To them, no time has passed. The last thing they remember is that they were supposed to have summer visitation with their father. What happened after that, though?
Stormy is on the hunt for answers. She wants to help two traumatized children. First, she has to find their parents…and what a story they have to tell. It was one they didn’t think anybody would believe. Now, there’s no choice.
Shadow Hills is the sort of place where magic comes alive. Sometimes the magic isn’t of the nice variety.
Stormy is determined to solve an old case. What if that means a whole new pile of problems, however?
Things are about to get out of control in Shadow Hills. Will anybody survive to see the other side?

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.
