The Cider Hex
A grimoire hidden in the basement.
A parasite ring devouring my magic.
Two covens and their hellhounds in a race to hunt me down.
You’d think with all that going on in a witch’s life, she’d have more important things to worry about than turning a profit at the farmers market festival, yet here I am. Cash means my bills are paid so I can focus my whole attention—so that means no daydreaming about that hunky lumberjack shifter—on unlocking the curse plaguing my family’s spell book.
But things are never that easy, are they?
Someone has a grudge against me and my cider business, and with each attack, I’m forced to delve into the magic I left behind. If Sawyer and I don’t find this rogue spellcaster quick and force them to lift their hex, I might not have a farm—or a grimoire—to save.

Cozy Pairings

Witches Brew is an earthy and softly floral fragrance that opens with warm clove and gentle spice, creating an immediate sense of familiarity. At its heart, delicate violet brings a subtle sweetness that lifts and softens the richness of dark patchouli. The base is deep and grounding, with smoky, woodsy notes that linger in the air, balanced by a soft warmth. Smooth and atmospheric, this scent feels both comforting and a little unexpected, blending warmth, earth, and soft florals into something subtly captivating.
Why we chose this: A witch on the run from her own coven, hiding in a small Indiana town with a cursed grimoire in her farmhouse crawlspace, a pain-in-the-butt familiar, pixies in the walls, and a lumberjack shifter she is absolutely not daydreaming about. Witches Brew carries the earthy, cottagecore warmth of a series where old magic keeps arriving uninvited at the most inconvenient possible moments, the scent of a farmhouse hearth where something is always simmering and the wards are always being tested. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the grounding warmth of patchouli and clove fill the room like a cozy farmhouse on a rainy afternoon where the grimoire is locked in the basement and the cider is almost ready.
