Welcome to Hawkwood Hollow, where the dead outnumber the living. When a local witch shows up in an apparent drowning, everyone thinks it's a tragic accident. New witch in town Maura would, too, except her Reaper senses are telling her there's something not quite right about the woman's death. When the victim's ghost vanishes, she knows her instincts were right. Unfortunately, her attempt to find the truth is derailed by an annoying spirit who's moved into her room and an obstructionist coven leader. And then there's the detective she might be interested in romantically...

Maura left her paranormal life behind, years ago. Her ghost-hunting gift has given her nothing but trouble, and she's decided she's better off living outside of the magical world with her trusty sidekick Mart. But after she gets fired from her job at the morgue - turns out the living don't generally appreciate it when the dead try to micromanage their own funerals - she receives a message from a teen blogger in need of her assistance in getting rid of a troublesome spirit.

It's been several months since Rory left her old life behind to move to her family's magical library in the coastal town of Ivory Beach. When her best friend from back home gets in touch, she can't wait to introduce her to her new family - even if she can't share the truth of the magical world with an outsider. When a vampire shows up dead near her home while she's gone, however, Rory finds herself staring down a more unwelcome part of her history - the group of sinister vampires who've made it their goal to get their hands on Rory's late father's journal.

It's Valentine's Day in Ivory Beach, and Rory's family's magical library is ready for the occasion. Rory is hoping for a visit from a certain Reaper. Instead, he finds herself drawn into another mystery. The student hired to deliver Valentine's cards dressed as Cupid is found shot by one of his own arrows. On top of that, a blind dating craze goes sour, with tempers rising and curses flying left and right.

It's the new year in Ivory Beach, and Rory is nursing a broken heart after the Reaper's abrupt departure from town.

It's the holiday season in the town of Ivory Beach. Rory Hawthorn and her new magical family are preparing for the festivities.

Rory Hawthorn is adjusting to her new life as a witch working at her family's enchanted library in the coastal town of Ivory Beach. Between the library's bewildering magic and her eccentric new family, life is never dull. When Rory and her cousin find the body of a local wizard on the beach, all the signs suggest he was killed by a vampire.

Bookshop assistant Aurora "Rory" Hawthorn thinks reality will never be as interesting as fiction. It turns out her dad was keeping a secret or two...most importantly, that he was a wizard and that Rory has a hidden magical family she's never met.
