Hi! My name is Odessa Grimsbane, and I love pumpkins, scarecrows, and Brodie. Oh, and delicious, powdered pumpkin candy. Let's not forget the super-charged treats.
My scarecrows are magical, my pumpkins are the best in show, and my Brodie... well, he's dead. But not for much longer.
Before I can bring back Brodie - did I mention I'm amazing at reanimation magic - I need a vessel for him to live in and to find his ghost, which has been hiding for three years. A not insignificant problem. No ghost, no reanimation, and no true love.
However, defeat isn't in this witch's vocabulary. After all, true love only strikes once, and I'm not letting it go. No matter what it takes, I'm getting my happily ever after.
If only an anxious ghost hadn't just shown up demanding his murder be solved. And did Eldridge have to knock me over to tell me about his unhappy demise? Well, he's about to turn into a dangerous ghoul, so time isn't on this frustrated ghost's side. And, good news, he agrees to find Brodie for me. So we strike a deal. I get suspect hunting, while Eldridge gets ghost hunting.
Here's hoping my pumpkin magic helps me figure out how to become an amazing sleuth because if I don't, I'll never find Brodie and will have to destroy Eldridge when he shifts into a lethal, out-of-control ghost ghoul. Yikes! And I thought making magically enchanted killer scarecrows was tricky.
Oh! And I'm in trouble with the Magic Council, but we'll talk about that another time. Anyone for a pumpkin and dark chocolate cookie?
Welcome to the wacky world of a witch with a little something extra. Odessa is pure of heart and pumpkin obsessed, and she always wants to help. But when that kind heart drags her into a complicated murder mystery, she's out of her depth.
Enjoy this witch paranormal cozy mystery, featuring a troubled magic user with a small pumpkin problem, a snarky cat (there's always a snarky cat), a group of amazing friends, and a mystery that'll have you wondering who did it until the very end. Oh, and watch out for the scarecrows. They bite!
