Maddy Madrigal Mysteries

Maddy Madrigal doesn’t believe she’s magic. If she were, she wouldn’t be busting her butt every day working for the Los Angeles Police Department’s Occult Affairs division, rounding up the strange and nasty entities unleashed by the last earthquake. At forty, if she were magic, she’d have less aggravation and more money.

Maddy Madrigal stands as the last line of defense against a rising tide of paranormal chaos that threatens to take over her neighborhood in the bustling heart of Los Angeles. An old spell safeguarding her exclusive community is on the brink of collapse, and ravenous, legendary creatures are right outside the gates on the verge of breaking in. Maddy’s magic isn’t yet strong enough to repair the spell, and the people writing her paychecks demand solutions, fast.

For Maddy Madrigal, preserving the peace in her exclusive neighborhood feels like walking a razor’s edge. Her grasp on her newfound magic is tenuous at best. And now, there are disturbing signs the spell she cast to keep supernatural entities at bay may be beginning to falter.

When a romantic weekend getaway turns into a magical malfunction, Maddy Madrigal knows trouble is on the way. Her powers are flickering, gnomes are rioting in Beverly Hills, and, in the exclusive community she was hired to protect, a bloodthirsty menace is running amok. It’s something ancient and deadly, and it’s taken roost just outside the gates of Chavez Ravine. As attacks escalate and everyday life turns into full-blown chaos, Maddy and her team scramble to defend the neighborhood with weapons, magic, and an extremely agitated cat. But all of that may not be enough.
