Witches and humans have always existed peacefully in Sweetland Cove... until now. Someone is killing humans and drawing unwanted attention to the supernatural residents of Sweetland Cove. Ava Rose just turned twenty-one, and with her birthday came a few surprises. One: she's a witch. Two: she's part owner of a magical bakery she never knew existed. Three: Someone wants her dead. The day Ava arrives in Sweetland Cove, murders begin occurring... Witches and wizards are quick to blame her, but Ava's aunts won't let the town they love turn against her. But murders follow Ava everywhere. Soon, she finds herself on the receiving end of the killer's mad spree. With a crazy wizarding sheriff who wants to lock her up, and an even crazier wizarding detective who wants to lock her whole family up, Ava must solve this case alone. But as the days pass and the only clues point to her, Ava starts to wonder if maybe the sheriff is right. Maybe she really is the killer. The only thing Ava knows for sure is that the witches of Sweetland are not happy with her. Especially those witches who have something to hide. And they all have something to hide. Can Ava stop the killer before they strike again... even if that killer is her?

"Look what you've done Sienna! Everything's ruined and it's all because of you! I told you not to do anything! I should've known you wouldn't listen. You never could leave well enough alone or mind your OWN goddamn business. And to think that everything's ruined because of your sleuthing, because of your pathetic little need to dig everything up. When will you learn? When will you stop? When everything around you is in pieces, don't come crawling to me because I won't be there to help you fix everything. Not this time." Ok. So...I know things seem bad. But that's only because you walked in on the middle of the story. So let's go back to the beginning so you can get a better understanding of why my best friend since diapers now, to put it lightly, hates my guts.

The Saturday market in Mellow Reach smells like warm bread and fresh basil-the kind of place where neighbors argue about tomato prices and mean nothing by it. Sticky cobblestones. Chipped enamel mugs. Nothing much goes wrong here. Then Thomas Reed's display collapses, and suddenly everyone's an expert. Most people saw the argument. Most people made up their minds before the pole stopped swinging. Officer Harper poked at the wreckage, called it an accident, and snapped his notebook shut. Done. Margaret Ellison wasn't there. Didn't matter. Thirty years as Mellow Reach's librarian teaches you things-how to go unnoticed while noticing everything. The angle of a fallen pole. A timeline with a loose thread nobody pulled. The particular way someone's hands flutter when they're hiding something embarrassing rather than something dangerous. She knows the difference. Always has. She knows Thomas, too. Helped him find his footing here fifteen years ago, back when this town was still deciding whether to let him in. Watched him build something worth keeping. So when the whispers calcify into verdicts-when old friendships crack along old fault lines and the harvest festival her late husband spent a decade building is suddenly up for debate-her stomach drops like a stone in cold water. Staying out of it is a choice. She's made enough of those. Semi-Retired. Not blind. Not yet done. This is an early draft shared for feedback. I'd love to know: - Would you continue reading? - Does it feel cozy? - Where did your interest drop?

It was always the four of them. Gorgeous Anastasia - the social butterfly who pulled the group together. Alya - the logical one, the girl who could crack a code faster than you could say "Go!" Arthur, the quiet, artistic boy with a troubled past. And their ringleader - Nicolette, the happy go lucky girl who became the enigma amongst all enigmas. Nicolette had always been into mystery, especially the mysteries surrounding serial killings. One day, during an investigation of a local killing, she goes missing - and after sending out several search parties, the police have no choice but to assume the worst. The remaining four friends (plus mysteriously tattooed bad boy Caelo, who's in it for his own mysterious reasons) group together in order to avenge the death of Nicolette and find her killer. As the group of friends continue to follow in Nicolette's investigative footsteps so that they may find who might have taken her, multiple bodies begin to turn up in their neighbourhood. The friends know that now, this isn't just about finding Nicolette's killer - it's about preventing more deaths from happening. As they are pulled deeper still into the mysteries surrounding the killings, the group of friends will learn shocking secrets not only about the identities of the people they thought they knew, but of themselves as well. In the end, how far would you go to find justice, even if it means uncovering secrets that were never meant to be discovered in the first place? Even if it means questioning the motives of the people you thought you knew so well?

They discover mistresses, gambling debts, vendettas, and a number of people who had motivation to want him dead. Most shocking of all, as they dig even deeper, they discover a whole secret life that he lead, one so lurid that the people who knew him best can hardly even conceive it. As a hurricane closes in and the police are insistent, despite all evidence, to arrest the widow, Cindy and Mattheus find themselves in a race against time to find the killer. When another body turns up, all involved realize the stakes may be even higher than they seem. And as Cindy and Mattheus develop feelings for each other, each grieving from the death of their own spouse, Cindy comes to realize there is even more at stake than she thinks.
