Sommaire:
A bestselling diva. A fatal book signing. And a witch who'd rather be reading. Bibliomancy witch Mercy Brew owns Bewitching Books in the quirky seaside town of Hemlock Hills, where Peculiars secretly live among humans. Between organizing her grand reopening and getting her stubborn ghostly aunt to cross over, Mercy just wants to focus on community, friendships, and her heart-fluttering attraction to Vaughn, the broody werewolf who looks unfairly good in a toolbelt. When Mercy agrees to host a book signing for a cantankerous author with more enemies than fans, she expects drama, not a crime scene. But when the author is poisoned, Mercy's dreams of success crumble like an ancient gramarye. Now Mercy and her intrepid friends must solve the mystery faster than the killer can write a sequel. And as the plot thickens, suspects multiply faster than overdue library fines, and a sordid chapter in the victim's past is revealed. Amidst swirling rumors, suspicious side-eyes, and a search for answers, Mercy must distinguish between fact and fiction. Because to catch a killer, Mercy will need to flip through the pages of history before anyone else meets a tragic ending. Can Mercy read between the lines before this story claims another victim?
