The Case of the Love Spell

Is magic real?That's what Penny has to ask herself, after a mysterious book reveals her destiny as a witch...Welcome to Hillcrest, a small box-canyon town snuggled high in the mountains of Colorado. It's been Penny's home for her whole life, and she's always thought of it as a peaceful - if boring - place to call home. All of that changes when the elderly Claudine Terra is killed, and a mysterious mountain pass behind her mansion opens up to through traffic. Could the new visitors to town, including a handsome vampire, have something to do with Claudine's murder? Penny is intent on finding out. She wants to save her failing PI business, get her love-life in order, and prove the police department wrong, all in one fell-swoop. But as Penny learns about her own witchy powers, things turn out to be a bit more complicated than she expected. For one thing, her ex boyfriend, Chris (a captain on the Hillcrest Police Department) is suddenly single. And then there's the fact that her precious cat won't stop throwing up. On top of that, Penny's attempts at casting spells tend to go horribly wrong!This is the prequel to the Witches of Hillcrest series.
