"When she found the dead body...

... it ruined her day.

What comes next could ruin her life.

Potion-witch-in-training Isabella Proctor is desperate for a normal life – her own apartment, a job that pays the bills, and maybe even a boyfriend. She’s determined to prove to her close-knit family that she can thrive in the non-magical world.

Finding her mentor dead is not helping her case. And things get worse when newly-arrived Detective Palmer starts treating her like she’s the prime suspect

Isabella has her magical hands full with a grandmother who’s seeing people who aren’t there, an apothecary on the brink of bankruptcy, and an overwhelmed police department that has almost as much experience solving murders as Isabella.

What will it take for Isabella to save the apothecary, catch the killer, and get her life back on track?"

Also in the series:
What in Carnation (#2):
"Isabella Proctor has a new super power...
...finding dead bodies.

What did she ever do to deserve this?

She’d like to trade this power in for something, anything else – talk to ants, mix the perfect mojito, anything other than finding her friends dead.

After her neighbor is murdered, her not-so-ordinary life takes a sharp turn into the weird – magic amulets, secret societies, deadly feuds, and talking cats.

Things go from bad to worse when another friend is murdered and she can’t go to Detective Palmer for help.

Can she capture a witch so much older and stronger than she is or will she become the next victim?

For fans of Samantha Silver, Adele Abbott, and Leighann Dobbs, What in Carnation is a clever, fast-paced cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end."

Romain Calm (#3):
"I’m the chosen one...
...wait – what??

Okay, not the chosen one, but I’m the newest member of the Sorority of Brigid, a group of witches tasked to keep other witches safe and secret.

At twenty-one, some days I don’t even feel up to defending my breakfast choices, never mind the witches of New Hampshire.

The Fraternity of Free Witches has a different plan. Of course they do. Was there ever a secret group that didn’t have a rival?

Rather than play nicely, they want to rule the world but I’m not about to let that happen. If they get their way, it’s going to be very bad for the ninety-nine percent of people who aren’t witches.

Now all I need is someone to teach me how to use my amulet before one of the fraternity manages to steal it.

Oh yeah, and figure out who murdered Palmer's cousin without letting him know I was investigating.

For fans of Samantha Silver, Adele Abbott, and Leighann Dobbs, Romaine Calm is a clever, fast-paced cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end."

No Big Dill (#4):
"Stress-free weekend in Boston...

...not when the woman who owns the business next to yours is murdered.

Isabella had planned a stress-free weekend at a small-business conference with her cousins. Instead of learning how to cross-promote her apothecary, she's got another murder to solve.

But will the Boston Police Department let her?

The obvious suspect is the victim's abusive husband...

...until he comes up with an iron-clad alibi.

Even then, Isabella is convinced he's the culprit.

But if he’s guilty, why did he call Detective Palmer to help with the investigation?

When a second person is murdered, with seemingly no connection to Caroline, her investigation grinds to a halt and the police decide the hotel has a budding serial killer on the loose.

Can Isabella find the murderer’s motive, and the murderer before the weekend is over and the hotel guests return home?

For fans of Samantha Silver, Adele Abbott, and Leighann Dobbs, No Big Dill is a clever, fast-paced cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end."

On a Larkspur (#5):
"What can you do when an enemy claims sanctuary in your home?

Hester Johnson is no one's favorite person, but when she arrives at Proctor House begging to be hidden, the Proctor family takes her in.

When something spooks Hester, she runs away - straight into her killer. Is it coincidence she's left on Isabella's door?

The danger has never been greater for Detective Palmer and Isabella needs to protect him, find the murderer, and keep her family's secrets.

For fans of Samantha Silver, Amanda M. Lee, and Leighann Dobbs, On a Larkspur is a clever, fast-paced cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end."

Simply Irisistible (#6):
"When a friend needs help...
you drop everything for them.

Isabella's apartment building has suffered because she lives there. In one year, her landlord has put up iron railings on the windows, revamped the entire security system, and refurbished the entire inside because someone tried to burn her out of the building.

When he needed her to prove his son was innocent she agreed without needing to know any of the details.

Once she started digging into the case, she started to have second thoughts.

Add in the tensions between the witches in the Sorority of Brigid all aimed at her, and she's got more than she can deal with on her own.

And that's where family comes in - for better or worse, they're there for her.

But will they be enough?"

Chive Right In (#7):
"He's snarky, but ever since Jameson became Isabella's familiar, he's had her back.

Now it's time for her to return the favor.

She promised to rescue his sister from a fraternity stronghold. The only problem is, she'll need help from her sorority.

That's right, the women who hate her.

In a desperate attempt to get the witches to work together, Hope asked a highly-regarded witch, Inanna, to train Isabella and her group.

Isabella's pretty sure the Geneva Convention was violated in her training but it doesn't matter. Inanna was found dead on the library steps.

The warning is clear, but a promise is a promise. Isabella can't back down, even if she has to go it alone.

When a friend is kidnapped in retaliation, can she finally convince everyone to work together?"

About Thyme (#8):
"Isabella joins a coven...
But there are no witches in it.

When Isabella's friend Emma changes her religion, Isabella is happy she's found something she can believe in.

Until she learns Emma thinks she's a witch. Magic doesn't work that way and now she's worried her friend is being taken advantage of.

Isabella is desperate to find out who is killing members of the coven - desperate enough to hunt him down on her own.

What will it take for her to capture a witch older and stronger than her, and is she willing to pay that price?"

Debbie Hunton | 65 comments Thanks a ton! Going to do the quiz to complete my Librarian application tonight so I can stop posting stuff like this and just get it done... although I'll need to do more research on ISBNs and such before making the changes. :)
