Starting over at midlife is hard. Doing it with magic-and a deadly local legend-is harder.
Midlife witch Samara Snow moves to Winter Haven, Maine, chasing a fresh start wrapped in small-town charm. In this quaint coastal town, with her magical teashop, new friends, and a quiet life, she hopes her newly awakened magical powers won't scare anyone away. Like the charming fisherman, Jack Andrews, who makes her want to risk her heart.
Romance after forty wasn't part of the plan, though. Neither is a first sailing date that goes awry when Jack hears a haunting song right before the sea delivers a luxury yacht...and a dead man.
As rumors swirl about a seafaring urban legend that lures locals to a watery grave, Samara can't ignore the eerie pull toward the islands offshore. Especially when her sassy familiar, Pumpkin, insists the town's totally harmless folklore about a mythical creature on Eastdare Island is how people end up as ghost stories.
With a storm and supernatural mystery brewing, and her slow-burn romance with Jack growing complicated, Samara teams up with a nosy knitting circle and her talking cat to uncover the truth. Together, they must untangle gossip from evidence, magic from motive, and legend from lethal truth. Because someone is using a myth to cover murder...
...and the next name on the ocean's list is someone Samara loves.
Witchy, warm, and delightfully twisty, Mystic Brews & Malice is a spellbinding paranormal cozy mystery-perfect for readers who love witchy heroines, talking cats, cozy vibes, quirky, witty characters, found family, closed-door romance, no cursing or violence, and a mystery that keeps you guessing.
