Synopsis

After his city life crashes, Reggie Neet gets a new start when he inherits a secluded estate on Lake Wyrd in a North Carolina forest. But the lake front home harbors more than just the chance to dwell closer to nature.
 
With the property comes a library of mystical texts, his uncle’s very large and telepathic cat, and a neighboring coven of witches, including the captivating Samantha. Reggie’s hope for a peaceful return to nature evaporates when Sinrix, the cat, lets Reggie know there is a mystery to solve about his uncle’s demise, and Samantha insists that Reggie has untapped magical potential.
 
Skeptical but intrigued, Reggie takes his first steps into a world he never believed in. But after bodies begin to surface and a certain Detective Mullins becomes suspicious, Reggie must embrace his latent druidic powers and unravel the truth behind the murders - before he becomes the next victim.
 
Mystery and romance make for a compelling mix in this layered cozy paranormal tale. Can Reggie rise to the challenge and uncover his true destiny, or will the shadow over Lake Wyrd claim him forever?

    Salem, Massachusetts, B&B owner Charlene Morris will need the luck of the Irish—and the help of a ghost—to unveil a hooded killer . . . 
     
     
     
    Charlene has hired a van to ferry her B&B guests to an all-you-can-eat corned beef and cabbage dinner hosted by Salem's Irish community at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club—but she should have booked a hearse. It's never a good sign when the family black sheep drunkenly crashes a party by punching the guy dressed as a leprechaun. But things go from troublesome to fatal when Charlene stumbles upon a second brawl in an upper room—and this fight Connor Gallagher loses, his anonymous assailant rushing past Charlene, hidden by a hoodie. 
     
     
      
    Now Detective Sam Holden has another homicide on his hands, with Charlene as the only eyewitness. Even if she can't give the police sketch artist much to go on, Charlene is determined to ID the murderer, with the help of Dr. Jack Strathmore, the charming ghost who haunts her B&B. The answer lies in the motive, and to uncover that sleuth and spook will need to shine a light on Connor's shady past—before the killer pulls another Irish goodbye . . .

The roses hung bedraggled heads and the silent birds, sheltering in the spinney, saved their songs for the re-emergence of the sun. His afternoon walk might have to be postponed, he thought, remembering that he had not brought a raincoat with him, although he was sure he could borrow one.
