Charms & Chapters

Rory Hawthorn is a witch who has recently taken a job at her family's enchanted library in Ivory Beach, a coastal town. The library's magic baffles her, and her relatives are an odd bunch, so no day is quiet.

Then Rory and her cousin come across the body of a local wizard on the beach. Every sign points to a vampire. Rory has good reason to be afraid of the undead, which makes the case hard for her to look at squarely.

Her life is complicated further by a growing attraction to the town's reaper, Xavier, whom she did not plan to like. Their friendship pulls both of them into the hunt for the killer. The library knows a great deal, but this time it may not hold the answer.

This is a cozy paranormal mystery with a romantic thread, set in a town where magic is ordinary and a library has a mind of its own. Rory must deal with her fear of vampires to find the truth, and if she fails, she could be the killer's next victim.
