Sorcery & Stories

Sorcery & Stories is the third book in Elle Adams's Library Witch Mysteries, a light paranormal cozy series set in the town of Ivory Beach, where Aurora "Rory" Hawthorn has taken up her family's place among the librarians of a magical library whose books have opinions of their own.

Still finding her footing with her own untrained magic and with the relatives she barely knew, Rory is drawn into a fresh murder that ties back to the library's collection. The series' pleasures are consistent: talking books, a small cast of eccentric witches, low stakes on the page and a puzzle that resolves cleanly.

It is a short, fast series entry — best read after Spells & Shelves and Charms & Chapters.
