The balloons are full, the cake is baked, the candles are lit, but the birthday party is ruined… Celeste Winter's good intentions spiral into chaos when the guest of honor vanishes into a magical portal right in her backyard. As her coven gathers, half the witches are distracted by the unfolding crisis while the other half take a rather questionable approach—throwing things into the hole to check if they disappear, too.
With everyone in need of a little sugar to regain their focus, Celeste makes a quick trip to the grocery store for some ice cream. But the sweet treat turns into a sour surprise when she stumbles upon a chilling a body in the freezer.
Now, Celeste must juggle the high-stakes rescue mission of her missing friend and the mystery of a murder in Silverwood—can she keep her cool and crack the case before it’s too late?
