Theres A New Witch In Town

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Carolyn Ridder Aspenson's Witches of Holiday Hills Cozy Mystery Series is a world of wonder and magic, but Cooper, her Burmese familiar cat, steals the show! Welcome to Holiday Hills, where the coffee's fresh and there's magic in the air... I have the perfect life. I recently rented the most adorable little apartment on top of my favorite bookstore/coffee shop on Main Street in Holiday Hills, the charmingest of charming small southern towns. I spend my days ghostwriting a cozy mystery series for a well-known author, and maybe just a minute or two crushing on the town's police chief. But of course, I'd never let that cat out of the bag. I'm still reeling from my recent divorce, and no matter what my bestie says, I'm so not ready for anything in the romance department. Speaking of cats, my little Burmese, Cooper, follows me around like he's my guard dog. Thankfully, Holiday Hills is animal friendly. Everyone's got a cat or dog, and that crazy old woman on the back end of town had the funniest talking parrot. Oh, that crazy old woman, she was a local celebrity, which was often trouble for her daughter. How do I know? Because that's me. I was the crazy old woman's daughter. The good news is everyone loved my mother, including me. The bad news is she recently died, and when she did, she opened a whole new world for me, one I'd always thought was fictional. The magical world. Now I have witchy powers, a talking cat, and a knack for finding dead bodies in my quaint little town. Ones that haven't died by accident. My name is Abby Odell and I'm a witch. Who knew? I sure didn't. Thanks for that, Mom. There's a New Witch in Town is the first book in the Witches of Holiday Hills Cozy Mystery series by USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Ridder Aspenson

Her magic, his town, their love... is it enough? Or will a witch just regaining her powers have to choose between saving a cursed town, or giving up everything she’s come to care about? Legend tells that many years ago, deep in the Idaho mountains, Hiram Ross saved a beautiful woman from a mountain slide and earned her everlasting gratitude. The woman, per the legend, was a witch who blessed the town with peace and prosperity as long as they welcomed faith, magic and love. With this once prosperous town now on its last legs, can a new witch be their salvation? A wayward witch… Born to a long line of witches, Miki Lansing renounced her magic to marry a mortal. When he dumps her, her powers return along with a karmic curse. Retreating to a rundown property in Idaho, all Miki wants is to reverse the curse, get her unstable powers under control, and figure out her life. Too bad the townspeople hate her. And too bad her sexy handyman is another troublesome mortal. A mistrustful mortal… Gideon Ross knows far too much about magic. His ex-wife was a witch. The real, magic-making, up-to-no-good kind. Now she’s determined to take over his beloved town. And his enchanting new client’s kisses are far too distracting. Then he discovers he’s falling for another witch. Gideon can’t subject the town to the capriciousness of another woman with that much power. A town in need of magic… Then Gideon’s ex-wife issues an ultimatum: unless Miki and Gideon are out of town by the full moon, she’ll destroy the town and claim it for her cult. Gideon’s had it with witchy women, and Miki already lost everything once before to a mortal. But if they’re to save the town, they’ll need a little faith, a lot of love, and a very special kind of magic.

Anna Winterson doesn't know she's a witch and would probably mock you for believing in magic, but after moving to the small town of Winter with her father, she learns more than she ever wanted to about power. When Anna meets Seth, she is smitten, but when she enchants him to love her, she unwittingly amplifies a deadly conflict between two witch clans and splits her own heart in two. She wants to love Seth, to let him love her - but if it is her magic that's controlling his passion, then she is as monstrous as the witch clan who are trying to use her amazing powers for their own gain.

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR Carolyn Ridder Aspenson's Witches of Holiday Hills Cozy Mystery Series is a world of wonder and magic, but Cooper, her Burmese familiar cat, steals the show! RECIPES INCLUDED! Welcome to Holiday Hills, where the festive season is wrapped in magic and mystery, and my first Christmas as a witch is as enchanting as it is haunting without my mother's presence. I'm Abby Odell, a cozy mystery ghost writer, and while I'm decking the halls with boughs of holly, I'm also burying my mother, and discovering my own bewitching talents. A triple play of spectacular sorts if you will. As the snowflakes dance and the scent of peppermint and mocha fills the air, Holiday Hills transforms into a winter wonderland full of quirky and magical characters, characters I thought only existed in fiction. From mystical shapeshifters to the ever-curious folks next door, everyone brings their own brand of holiday spirit to the Enchanted, the local bookstore and coffee shop where I've made my home for my writing and my witchcraft. This yuletide, the festive joy is tinged with a twist of fate, a murderous twist where not only have two family members I didn't know existed are killed, but I'm targeted by the murderer as well. With my mother's best friend stirring hot cocoa and spells alike, and the sexy police chief too swamped with holiday crimes to notice me, it's up to me to unravel the tinsel-tangled mysteries. How I wish my best friend, Stella could help, but she's human, and as I've been told repeatedly, magicals aren't allowed to share their secrets. You read that right. I can't share my biggest secret with my best friend. I hope I can keep that promise. And let's not forget my sidekick, a sassy talking cat named Cooper, who's traded his usual cynicism for a Santa hat and a sleigh-load of sass. He may prefer his Christmas tuna to crime-solving, but together we're an unstoppable force. With the ghost of Christmas past guiding me through a special long-lost memory and the town's lights glowing warm against the chill, I'm ready to write my own story of magic, mayhem, and mistletoe kisses. After all, in Holiday Hills, miracles may just come with a witch's broom. Okay, maybe not the kisses. I'll save that for my next book.

My name is Kestrel. Kestrel Murphy. Never call me Susan. Who ever heard of a witch named Susan? A year ago, I was on the white-magic side. Lately, I've been leaning toward the black. I blame the universe. What's the point in being a nice little white witch in the universe I've got? If I could choose my own universe, I'd be a white witch in it. But black makes a lot more sense in this universe. Not that I'm complaining. A witch never complains. But if I did, I'd have a lot to complain about. For instance: Richard Milhous Nixon High. What's a teen witch to do when she's stuck in the most unmagical high school in the universe? Create her own 'majix.' Take notes. And above all, avoid nasty classmates, heartless grown-ups and boys who may prove a little too distracting for a serious teen witch to handle....
