Wayfair Witches: Books 1-3
A.A. Albright - 2018
Meet Wanda and her coven of supernatural sleuths. Book One: Bottling It Book Two: Bricking It Book Three: A Trick for a Treat Book One: Bottling It Wanda Wayfair is a bit of a late starter. At almost twenty-one she still hasn't received her magical powers, and she's running out of time. But that doesn’t bother Wanda. Much. Not when she can spend all of her time in the human world and pretend that her coven doesn’t exist. But when Wanda takes a job at Berrys' Bottlers, working with the handsome Will Berry and his unpleasant Aunt Alice, she soon realises that she's a lot closer to the magical world than she thought. All over Dublin, humans are murdering witches. When asked why, all they'll say is, 'I dunno why I done it.' But Wanda thinks she does know why they’ve done it – and hopefully she’ll receive her power in time to help her coven discover the truth. Book Two: Bricking It All her life, Wanda thought that things would be better once she received her magical powers. Turns out, not so much. The Minister for Magical Law is insisting that Wanda go back to school before she can become a working member of the Wayfair coven. Oh, and she’s also insisting that Wanda perform no magic at all until she’s passed all of her tests. But Wanda’s coven needs her now more than ever. Witches are going missing, and skeletons are turning up in closets and changing rooms all over Ireland. Will Wanda stick to the Minister’s rules, or will she risk it all to help the people she loves? Book Three: A Trick for a Treat It’s Wanda’s first Halloween at home for years, but that doesn’t mean she gets to enjoy the holiday. A famous werewolf has disappeared, and his girlfriends are getting knocked off one by one. Murder and mayhem might be all in a day’s work for the Wayfair coven, but this time the stakes are higher than ever. This time, Wanda’s own friends are under suspicion. Wanda needs to discover the real culprit, and she needs to do it fast – otherwise the people she cares about could spend their lives behind bars. Oh, and while she’s at it, she also needs to pass another few of the Minister’s tests. But who ever said that being a witch was easy?

The Elementalist
J.R. Rain - 2019
Rain and Matthew S. Cox! In a small town where people go missing all the time, one might think a private detective would have no trouble finding work. Except for Max Long. His luck really is that bad—at least until a blonde bombshell hires him to look into the strange circumstances surrounding her sister's death. The blonde might be good luck, or more likely, entirely the opposite. Drop-dead gorgeous women aren't exactly common in Shadow Pines, nor do they walk into his office. Everyone in town knows there's something unusual about the place. The excuse of animal attacks claiming the unwary hiker works only so long before a rational person suspects the irrational. Blood stolen from the hospital, strange howls at night, and a girl with an overly innocent face that spells trouble all lead to one conclusion: Max is in way over his head. Or is he? The night after a strange meteorite streaked across the sky, the wind responds to his desires. He soon discovers he can manipulate water, fire, and earth as well. Shadow Pines is out of balance, and Mother Nature has sent Max to fix it.
