The Mayhem in the Masquerade
Mardi Gras, mischief, and a missing author.
As Mardi Gras sweeps through Havenwood, Harper Sullivan’s bookshop, Spellbooks, is abuzz with excitement for bestselling author Garrett Grimshaw’s book signing. But when Grimshaw vanishes without a trace, the celebrations take a dark turn—and Harper’s beloved shop is thrown into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
With Spellbooks’ future at risk and Havenwood’s magical reputation on the line, Harper dives into a web of secrets and simmering rivalries lurking behind the glossy covers of the literary world. But as her search reveals dangerous motives and shocking truths, she realizes the upcoming masquerade at Silverthorne Manor might hold the key to unraveling it all. Can Harper expose the truth, or will Havenwood be left to deal with a scandal of novel proportions?


Cozy Pairings

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: Harper Sullivan inherited her great-grandmother's bookshop in the magical town of Havenwood and discovered that it came with inherited mysteries, witchy powers, and a town full of seasonal festivals that keep producing bodies at the most inconvenient times. From harvest pranks to Christmas balls to Mardi Gras masquerades, the mysteries never stop and neither does the magic. Book of Spells carries the deep, atmospheric bookishness of a series where a beloved bookshop sits at the heart of everything, dark chocolate and warm sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea that smells like a shop full of inherited stories and the kind of magic that runs in families. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a bookshop in a magical town where every season brings something new to unravel.
