Coven of Confections Series

Some recipes call for sugar and spice. Ours calls for solving a murder...

My grandmother taught me that magic is like baking: it's all about intention. As a fire witch, I pour my heart into every loaf of bread, every comfort scone. Opening a bakery with my coven sisters was supposed to be the culmination of that dream—a place where our kitchen magic could shine.

But during renovations, we didn't just find asbestos; we found a skeleton clutching a scorched spellbook. A spellbook that hums with a power that recognizes my own, practically begging me to uncover its secrets. This wasn't just any skeleton; it was a kitchen witch, just like me, and she was murdered.

Now, with the help of my earth-witch and chaos-witch sisters, and our magically inclined cat, I have to follow a trail of decades-old crumbs. Between deciphering sentient recipes and dodging the town's charmingly frustrating fire marshal, I'm starting to realize that the most dangerous secrets are the ones hidden in plain sight.
