Magic, murder, and a whole lot of coffee—welcome to Ravenstone! Declan Hawthorne is just your average caffeine-addicted guy—until a visit to his grandfather reveals: magic is real, witches exist, and apparently, Declan's one of them. Now he's getting to know Ravenstone, a supernatural small town where the coffee is strong, the monsters are quirky, and someone just murdered a vampire at the first annual Magic Festival. His ally? Gideon Blackwood—a gorgeous wolf shifter who can't shift but still manages to growl in all the right ways. He knows he can't be Alpha, but that doesn't stop him from protecting everyone else . . . including one reckless new witch who doesn't know when to quit. Between magical cookies and cakes, a bunch of meddling misfit monsters, and a lot of spilled coffee, Declan and Gideon have their hands full. But if they want to catch a killer—and maybe fall a little in love—they'll have to trust their instincts and maybe their magic. Because in Ravenstone, coffee solves most problems. The rest? Magic and a hot wolf usually do the trick.Mostra libro
