Mally Jourdain is a terrible witch. So bad, she might as well be human. Until she discovers a mortally wounded rougarou, one of the wolfmen of the bayous, in a New Orleans alleyway–and she heals him. With magic. Fun fact: witches cannot heal rougarous. Even the most powerful witches. But Mally did. 

And he ran off into the night–with not so much as a thank you. Rude.

Now, Mally’s life is getting even weirder. She’s being followed by a group of teenagers, who could be identical quadruplets with buck teeth. She’s nearly abducted by a super creepy gator Shifter, and she’s also stalked by greaser wannabes, who look like the rejects from a prison production of West Side Story. Things can’t possibly get stranger. 

Or maybe it could, because the rougarou is watching her, too. What’s that saying–no good deed goes unpunished?

On the upside, Mally suddenly seems to be a very important witch. 

On the downside, Mally suddenly seems to be a very important witch. 

She has no idea what all these creatures want from her. And she’s not sure she is witch enough to find out. (Amazon)

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Fischetto comes a hauntingly clever Gianna Mancini Mystery you don’t want to miss!

Ghost whisperer and sandwich connoisseur, Gianna Mancini, is living a drama-free life in a rent-reduced apartment above the family deli, working as a receptionist for her hot P.I. “taking it slow” boyfriend, and about to become an aunt for the second time. Nothing can sour her mood—not even a chance encounter with her high school frenemy that is less than friendly.

That is until her frenemy’s ghost suddenly appears in her living room.

Hilary Burton is dead, and the number one suspect in her murder is her husband and Gianna’s arch nemesis, Kevin. He says he’s innocent, but Hilary has a very different story. It doesn’t matter though. Gianna has no intention of involving herself in this murder. Nope, she’s totally staying out of it.

However when an anonymous tip leads the police to question if Gianna’s altercation with Hilary was tense enough to lead to murder, she’s suddenly right in the thick of it! And the more Gianna looks into it, the more she wonders who is lying—the ghost with a shady past or the man who has been a perpetual thorn in Gianna’s side? With her freedom on the line, Gianna has to figure out the truth before she’s fitted for an orange jumpsuit. Unfortunately the killer intends to stop at nothing to get away with murder, even if it means Gianna becomes the next victim.

When my Great Aunt Tabby passed away, it wasn’t just a shock. As a seer, she should have seen it coming.

Except she didn’t. So as the newly single and unemployed member of the Crowe family, it was up to me to head to Australia to see to her affairs. Partly to keep the magical family relics from falling into the wrong hands, and also to quiet the bad feeling working its way around my belly.

But trying to piece together the life of a woman who I only ever saw at Christmas was harder than I’d expected. And when I figured out there was mystery afoot, all of my aunt’s friends became suspects in my mind’s eye.

A world away from home, I’d need to figure out where my life was leading, and whether I’d let the future happen to me, or take control of my own fortunes. Oh, and solve the mystery of course!

If you enjoy paranormal cozy mysteries with a horticultural twist, Kat Crowe’s adventures in Trouble Down Under should be just the ticket. (Amazon)

A grumpy bear shifter who really is a teddy bear, at least to me.

Being a sleuth in a rural village is lonely work.

Witch Grace Littleton is used to cracking cases with nothing but her smarts, her pit bull sidekick, and a pair of enchanted handcuffs.

When the Manifesting Council summons a new best friend for Grace, she’s skeptical. How could a council predict friendship? A case evolves in a neighboring town just before Thanksgiving, and Grace is ready to do the dirty work of tracking down clues on her own. Investigating is dangerous business, after all… especially when a murderer’s on the loose and might pop up at the neighborhood estate sale.

But the Manifesting Council might be better at their craft than Grace has given them credit for. They’ve summoned a woman who can drive a getaway car like a champ, play good-cop to Grace’s bad, and stay calm even when the big guns come out. Plus, she makes a mean milkshake. Maybe Grace could use a little help with her detective work after all. (Amazon)

New Jersey’s Star-Ledger calls Murder and Marinara “a saucy debut”!

Included in Suspense Magazine’s BEST COZIES and a Daphne Award finalist

Author Victoria Rienzi takes a break from writing murder mysteries—only to find herself caught in the middle of a real one…

Victoria heads back to the Jersey shore to explore her family’s roots and the specialty Italian cuisine their restaurant, the Casa Lido, is famous for. But she barely hits town before she finds that Oceanside Park is abuzz about a reality show slated to film on its beach. Not everyone in the cozy seaside town is happy with the news, and Victoria’s family is leading the protest.

But when the show’s brash producer winds up face down in the tomato garden after eating at the restaurant, things look bleak for the Rienzi clan—and Victoria finds herself in some hot pasta water. She served the dead man his last meal, her ex-boyfriend prepared it, and now the Casa Lido is on the verge of closing. Adding to her troubles is a nosy journalist, a determined prosecutor, and a plateful of suspects, all spelling a recipe for disaster. That’s when her formidable nonna gives her a new job: solve the murder before the summer season starts and save the Casa Lido.

With her deadline only days away, this saucy sleuth jumps into action—but can Victoria serve up the culprit before it’s too late?

I thought my stint as a magic Bounty Hunter was over, but it appears Baba Yaga has other ideas.
