Sinopsis

Meet the Newells, a big family of good lookers and hard grafters.

Then there's Paddy, the wrong'un in their midst, who has just been released from prison for dangerous driving.
As things fall apart around his sister Bea, is Paddy behind it all? And why does matriarch Edie turn a blind eye to her son's malevolence? Will she stand by and watch while he wrecks the lives of her other children? Just how much is she willing to sacrifice to protect her son?

Spring has sprung . . . and so have the daisies. 
 
 
 
In Charm Cove, Maine, spring means blooming flowers, thawed snow, and just a hint of everyday magic. Moira Wicked is embracing it all—her powers, her future, and her recent engagement to Liam. Life is finally settling down. 
 
 
 
Until it starts raining daisies. 
 
 
 
One minute, the town looks like a picture-perfect coastal getaway. The next, it's drowning in daisies—falling from the sky, sprouting from rooftops, carpeting lawns, and turning every surface into a floral explosion. Pretty? Sure. Magical menace? Definitely. 
 
 
 
Now Moira and the rest of Charm Cove's witchy residents are knee-deep in blossoms, racing to uncover what—or who—is behind the petal-powered pandemonium. 
 
 
 
As curious tourists flood the town to witness the so-called Daisy Wonder of the World, Moira has a sneaking suspicion this spring surprise might not be so innocent after all. 
 
 
 
In Charm Cove, magic is always in bloom . . . but this time, it might be blooming out of control.

The Stranger Vanishes

Wendy Corsi Staub

In the quirky, picturesque lakeside community of Lily Dale, where the residents can talk to the dead, young widow Bella Jordan is the lone skeptic among believers. She doesn't believe in ghosts…but after a year in the village, she would admit that her new friends do sometimes seem to know impossible things. Still, when a Black stranger dressed in old-fashioned clothing arrives unexpectedly at Bella's guesthouse at midnight on Juneteenth, only to vanish the next day as if he'd never existed, Bella's sure there has to be a logical explanation. One that has nothing to do with the strange warning Odelia, the medium next door, delivers from the spirits: Beware of…Barry? Bella doesn't know a Barry, and she has enough people in her life already, what with her young son Max, their two kitties, handsome vet Drew, a plethora of kind but nosy neighbors, and a full house of summer guests. But as the mystery of the missing stranger deepens, she starts to wonder: did the spirits really mean Barry? Or did they mean bury…
