A Murder in Hope's Crossing
Brooke Shelby - 2019
Relocating to the idyllic New England town of Hope’s Crossing, where her family has settled since its founding, should be a welcome refresh. Aunt Clara is eager to retire and hand Maggie the keys to her store. And her new home might even help Maggie awaken her family’s rumored witchy powers. Maggie’s plans have all the makings of a spell for success—until the sorcery turns sour. Not long after the move, Aunt Clara is murdered in retaliation for an act of charity. Since Maggie inherits Clara’s small fortune, shop, and home, all eyes turn to her. With no witnesses and no suspects with an obvious motive, Maggie is framed as the perfect killer. Proving her own innocence is an uphill battle, especially when other descendants of Salem Witch Trial survivors like her are under constant threat and persecution in the pious town. To clear her name, Maggie will have to draw on the kindness of a few quirky residents, her aunt’s crafty cat, and her own blossoming supernatural powers. With a deadly criminal on the loose, the newest witch in town might be the best chance Hope’s Crossing has to defeat murder with magic…

Ava Day - 2016
Becoming a witch wasn’t one of them. Penny and her best friend Joy took a big risk when they returned to the quaint tourist town of Spring Valley to open a coffee shop. They thought they had the perfect location— the old, dilapidated Beacon Theater. So what if the locals said it was haunted. Of course it had a giant hole in the ceiling. Sure, the whole place is filled with scary books in a strange runic language and mysterious vials of who knows what. Nobody said this would be easy. But when they venture into the basement and find a woman's body hidden in a room that’s locked from the inside, they know they've got more than they bargained for. The police don’t think it's murder, but that doesn’t stop her ghost from waking them up one morning or a strange hooded figure from trying to break into their new business. Evil lurks in the shadows and it's up to Penny and Joy, with the help of their newfound magical abilities, to solve the mystery of the deceased woman and stop the Beacon from being overrun.
