A magical island. A mysterious relative. A family she didn’t know existed.

Inheriting a house from a dead great-aunt she’s never met should’ve been Sara Rivers’ first clue that things were about to get weird. The talking sea otter? That was clue number two.

Sara’s plan was simple: stay the six months to get her inheritance, sell the house, and figure out what comes next. What she didn’t plan on was discovering that she’s half witch, half undine, has magic she can’t control, and has a family history she was never meant to know about.

Then a suspicious journal entry makes her doubt everything she’s been told. The locals are friendly, the town is charming, and absolutely no one wants to talk about how her great-aunt really died.

When another body turns up, Sara realizes the killer isn’t done.

Between mandatory magic lessons, the game shop she inherited, a runaway teen hiding out in her basement, and an infuriatingly attractive FBI agent who may (or may not) be on her side, Sara’s getting closer to a truth someone killed to hide. And the killer is watching.

Paws of Justice by Karen McSpade

Posted November 2, 2025 by Faeshifter in Booksprout ARC, Kindle Unlimited, Paranormal Cozy Mystery, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

A cryptic warning from beyond the grave. A small town haunted by secrets. When evil bites, can this witch’s magic stop the deadly curse?

When part-time medium and full-time witch Sidney Grace agrees to help a widow contact her dearly departed husband, she expects a few ghostly complaints – not a cryptic message about murder. But when the widow is found dead days later, Sidney is drawn into a paranormal mystery far darker than she imagined.

A red-eyed seagull stalks the skies. Her shifter friend mysteriously vanishes. And when her grandmother’s closest companion turns up drained of life, whispers of vampire activity send panic through the magical town of Crystal Beach.

As dark forces close in, Sidney must rely on her psychic gifts, her magical pets, and a powerful circle of witches to stop a supernatural threat before it claims her grandmother…and the town for good.

Enchanted Bookshop by Lula Ward

Posted August 15, 2025 by Faeshifter in Kindle Unlimited, Paranormal Cozy Mystery, Paranormal Romance, Sweet Romance / 0 Comments

A quiet bookseller. A reclusive writer. And one bookshop where the stories come to life. Literally.

Hazel Waters left behind her sensible city life to open a cozy bookshop in the quirky mountain town of Moonlight Springs. She expected quiet days filled with paperbacks and tea. What she didn’t expect? Books whispering, ink disappearing from the pages, and a rare folktale book vanishing without a trace.

Then Luke Hanes walks through her ruby-red door. Reclusive, infuriating, and far too charming for her peace of mind. Luke is a bestselling author hiding from a scandal—and himself. But he also might be the only person who can help her uncover what’s unraveling the town’s stories.

When reading aloud pulls them both into the actual world of a book, Hazel and Luke are forced to work together to find a way back.

With the town’s legends stirring and a forgotten magic awakening, Hazel must uncover what’s causing the stories to fade—before Moonlight Springs forgets its own history.

Thankfully, Hazel’s not alone. With the help of her fiercely loyal new friends—Maura, the antique shop owner with sharp intuition and stronger tea; Ivy, the warm-hearted baker who always knows when you need a slice of pie; and Verena, the innkeeper who just might know more than she lets on—Hazel is about to discover that some stories are meant to be lived, not just read.

Titles in the Moonlight Springs series include:  Starlight Antiques ~ Sweet Memories Bakery ~ Enchanted Bookshop ~ Painted Visions ~

This is a clean, sweet paranormal romance with either closed doors or only kissing.

Hex and the Dragon by Milly Taiden

Mistwhisper Falls was finally quiet again. Until Ivy Chen cracked open the wrong magical book.

She didn’t mean to bond with a draconic consciousness older than civilization. And she definitely didn’t mean to bind herself to the town’s most reclusive—and dangerously attractive—dragon shifter.

Dorian Ashwind didn’t do partnerships. But the shadows whispering in his mind aren’t going away, and the only person who can translate the Chronicle’s cursed pages is the painfully smart, infuriatingly brave librarian next door. The one who smells like old paper, ink, and a kind of magic he hasn’t tasted in centuries.

Now they’re tethered by a bond neither of them understands. The town is slipping into a dream-state, reality is fracturing, and Ivy and Dorian are the keys to either saving the world… or rewriting it entirely.

And every time she looks at him like she wants to risk everything, Dorian’s dragon gets a little harder to leash.

He was never supposed to fall for the girl who opens forbidden books.

But she already opened him.

Titles in the Mistwhisper Falls series include: Hex You Very Much ~ Let’s Talk About Hex ~ Hexy Bear ~ Hex and the Dragon ~

Rings and Rumours by Mara Webb

Posted July 10, 2025 by Faeshifter in Kindle Unlimited, Paranormal Cozy Mystery, Paranormal Romance, Sweet Romance / 0 Comments

A killer has come to Isle, and suddenly the grand reopening of Tilly Hudgins’ family hotel has gone from celebration to crime scene.

Tilly Hudgins has poured her heart and soul into restoring her family’s historic beachfront hotel. With her sassy familiar, Smudge, offering commentary at every turn, and her well-meaning but meddlesome Aunt Pearl “helping” in her own chaotic way, Tilly’s grand reopening weekend should be perfect.

That is, until a local real estate developer turns up face-down on the hotel’s lawn—very much dead and very much on Tilly’s property.

With the local paper pinning her as suspect number one, reservations canceling faster than she can say “I’m innocent,” and a magical community watching her every move, Tilly must unravel a web of island secrets before her dream business goes under and she trades her ocean view for prison bars.

Who knew reopening a hotel would be murder?
