There's a body in the bookshop in this latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Magical Bakery mysteries... When the bookshop next to the Honeybee Bakery hosts a signing for a Savannah radio celebrity's new self-help book, magical baker Katie Lightfoot is happy to provide some delectable desserts. A big crowd has turned out for the event, curious about the book (and maybe to sample some goodies), but the final chapter comes too soon for the author when she is found dead at the event. The prime suspect is Angie Kissel, a former witch whose familiar was once Katie’s own terrier, Mungo. Katie is at first hesitant to help, afraid of losing the little dog who has become so important to her. But after a little nudge from Mungo himself, Katie decides to try to conjure up the real killer—before Angie gets served... RECIPES INCLUDED!

So when her aunt Lucy and uncle Ben open a bakery in Savannah's quaint downtown district and ask Katie to join them, she enthusiastically agrees.

Turns out these herbal enhancements aren't just tasty—Aunt Lucy is a witch and her recipes are actually spells! When a curmudgeonly customer is murdered outside the Honeybee Bakery, Uncle Ben becomes the prime suspect. With the help of handsome journalist Steve Dawes, charming firefighter Declan McCarthy, and a few spells, Katie and Aunt Lucy stir up some toil and trouble to clear Ben's name and find the real killer.

#1 New York Times bestselling author! Booklist Editors’ Choice 2015 - Youth! Named a "Best Book of 2015" by Time Magazine, School Library Journal, Barnes & Noble, NPR, PopSugar, The Millions, and The News & Observer! Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen. That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right. Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor's avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon's face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here -- it's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon's infuriating nemesis didn't even bother to show up. Carry On is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

The holidays are upon Charm Cove and Moira Wicked is up to her eyeballs in magic as she manages Persnickety Potions & Gifts for her family. One evening after a busy day, she assumes she must be waytoo tipsy from her wine when she hears a commotion down at the beach by her home. Nope. Not too tipsy from wine. Lo and behold, a boat was dashed against the rocky coastline in the darkness. That’s enough news all by itself, but even worse, the three passengers who were believed to have been on the boat have vanished into thin air. So has the warlock who runs the lighthouse. To top it all off, Beacon’s Charm Lighthouse is broken. That should be impossible because it runs on magic and has for centuries. Moira is chasing down the leads to find everyone who’s missing and get the magic to work for the lighthouse again. Turns out when something runs on magic, the usual tricks don’t fix it. The witchy families of Charm Cove find themselves fending off curious queries from officials about just what’s wrong with their town’s lighthouse. Meanwhile, throngs of visitors crowd the streets, buying up holiday magic by the bottle. Moira’s destiny is also bearing down upon her. Will she meet her fate in time for Christmas, or not? Take a visit to Charm Cove, where Wicked meets Good and where you just might find there’s almost always more than meets the eye.
