Dangerous Magic, an all-new cozy mystery from New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart writing as Evie Hart, is available now!

Dangerous Magic (Haven Lake Cozy Mysteries, Book One)

It’s not every day you have to return to your hometown to bind your borderline-poltergeist grandmother to the family property.

Unfortunately, today is that day for Avery Thorn.

All Avery wants is to report the binding to the Witch Council so she can fulfill her obligation, but finding a dead body and the Head of the Council on the brink of death isn’t in her plan.

Especially when she’s pegged as the number one suspect.

Now, it’s down to Avery and her cousins—and her sassy feline familiar—to figure out who tried to murder the Head of the Council. Magically bound to find the culprit, the last thing she needs is the new detective getting under her toes.

Unfortunately for her, she finds herself colliding with the hot cop more than she wants. And since her familiar hates him, it’s not always pleasant.

New magic and a devastating tragedy threaten to derail their investigations—but not quite as much as the person who isn’t happy they’re involved…

Grandma opened her mouth, but a red and gold flash darted through the window. It circled the kitchen before it came to settle on top of the fridge and showed the room its true form. Aunt Rose’s familiar, Honey, a red and gold macaw with more attitude in one sharp toe than most Haven Lake residents had in their entire family. She surveyed the room with her beady eyes before they came to rest on me. “Look what the cat dragged in.” I’d always hated that bird. “My cat will eat you, you little—” TJ coughed. Silence fell over the room. “The dirty creature would have to catch me first.” Honey followed that up with a bird noise and a flap of her wings. Is that vile bird here? Snow sounded way too excited in my head, and I was feeling way too petty to lie to her. On top of the fridge, I replied, digging into my pasta. Mee-row! The next thing I knew, the sound of paws on the steps reverberated through the kitchen. I smirked as a flash of white launched itself at the fridge. Honey cawed and took flight, but I shrugged a shoulder in the direction of the open window, and it slammed shut seconds before she could make her escape. Rose side-eyed me, while TJ grinned into his pasta. Honey circled the room, flapping frantically, while Snow jumped onto any available surface in her pursuit of the bird. Grandma surveyed the scene with barely disguised annoyance. “This place has gone downhill since my death,” she announced, straightening. “You’ve gone downhill since your death,” Rose snapped. “I heard that.” “Good,” I added. “You were supposed to. She said it loud enough.”

Something new. I’ve been thinking about reading a Cozy Mystery for a while. I was so excited when Emma Hart announced this. I feel like she read my mind.

Avery has returned to her hometown. She’s a powerful witch and head of the family. The ghost of her grandmother has been causing havoc around town and it’s her job to rain her in. The problem is this town holds secrets, the kind that could get you killed. Avery has bad timing and right from the start she has a bad feeling. It’s time for some dangerous magic.

This will be a Kindle Unlimited read. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was something different that ticked the right boxes. Great.

4.5 stars out of 5.
