博客來Ever since she stumbled into the quaint village of Tillyhenge and discovered the enchanted chocolate shop run by her grandmother, Caitlyn Le Fey has been cooking up dreams of finding her long-lost mother and finally unwrapping the mystery of her past. But meeting Tara isn’t the sweet reunion she’d hoped for: not only is her mother far from the gentle, maternal figure Caitlyn had imagined, she’s also the prime suspect in a murder that’s left the village in a stir. The locals are wary and suspicious of her, and even Lord James Fitzroy is turning a cold shoulder, in spite of his feelings for Caitlyn.
Desperate to clear her mother’s name, Caitlyn plunges deeper into the sticky tangle of magic and intrigue. She knows Tara is a powerful witch with a ruthless, audacious streak-but is her mother really the bad egg in this recipe, or is there another culprit lurking in the shadows?
Meanwhile, the villagers are being spooked by superstitions and fearmongering, courtesy of Leandra, a woman with mysterious motives of her own. Plus, the hunt is still on for the Widow Mags’s missing grimoire-a powerful ＂book of spells＂ that many would kill for. And what about Nibs, Caitlyn’s mischievous kitten, who seems to have vanished without a trace?
Luckily, she still has her vampire uncle Viktor by her side (when he isn’t busy searching for his missing fangs), not to mention her sassy cousin Pomona and her own budding magic powers. With Samhain Eve fast approaching, can Caitlyn conjure answers from this murky concoction of family secrets and dark magic to solve the mystery and bring peace to Tillyhenge at last? Or will this witch’s brew of trouble bubble over?
