  Meet SAGE POE—witch, reluctant consultant to the sheriff's department, and woman who just wanted some damn pancakes. She thought the most dangerous thing at Nellie's Diner would be the cholesterol count. She thought wrong. When patrons start experiencing their worst nightmares after ordering the blue plate special, turning the beloved diner into a feeding ground for something ancient, Sage finds herself trapped in a buffet of horrors. Regular customers are vanishing, Nellie's famous pie is developing a mind of its own, and something is definitely not kosher in the kitchen. Armed with her magical intuition, two sisters with appetites for danger, and an aunt whose newly-restored mental clarity comes with demonic connections (and a beetle in a jar she calls "Eleanor"), Sage must uncover what's really on the menu. 
    
  Enter SHERIFF EMMET QUILL—lawman with a newfound respect for the supernatural and the only person in town who takes his coffee darker than the entity lurking beneath the diner. He may now believe in magic, but he still needs evidence . . . and maybe a chance to finally define whatever's cooking between him and Sage. 
    
  As forgotten culinary pacts resurface and the specials get increasingly suspicious, Sage realizes that some recipes are better left unserved. But in Bone Gap, hunger always finds a way.
