Alchemy & Alibis (Avaleas Falls Mysteries)

Description

Welcome to Avaleas Falls, where talking cats serve up all-day breakfast, gargoyles guard ancient secrets . . . and witches are dying to join the coven—literally.

It’s not easy being a witch without magic in Avaleas Falls, the most magical town in the Western hemisphere. But Garnet Le Fay—last in a long line of famous witches—was born without a spell to her name. Her discouraging lack of magic, a struggling charm shop, and an ex who won’t stop showing up seem to be the worst of her problems, until Avaleas Falls is rocked by a high-profile murder attempt on the town coven’s High Priestess . . . who just happens to be Garnet’s aunt.

To track down the would-be killer and protect her family, Garnet must rely on her kitchen-witch best friend, her grumpy feline roommate, and her own never-give-up attitude. The closer they get to the truth, the darker the secrets that lurk beneath the surface of this cozy paranormal town . . . and the bigger the target on Garnet’s back. When black magic starts to follow Garnet, she’s forced to harness the powers of an unpredictable ancient artifact or risk becoming the next victim herself.
