Finding A Dead Body On My Date, An Enchanted Recipe Book, And Unsettled Ghosts…
Never A Dull Moment in Driftwood Cove

My name is Sage Blackwell and my new life in Driftwood Cove hasn't exactly been a walk in the park. You see, my dear Aunt Aggie, may she rest in peace, decided to keep me company as a friendly ghost in the haunted bookstore that she left me after her untimely death. Now, I've grown accustomed to her regular visits, and boy, does she come in handy, especially when I find myself knee-deep in another murder mystery!

Picture this: I'm on a delightful date with Adam, the town's cutest police detective when I stumble upon Chef Gavin Torres' lifeless body bobbing face-down in the water behind his restaurant. Murderous mayhem ensues as suspects come out of the woodwork.

As if my plate isn't full enough, things get even crazier when Aggie, my spectral sidekick, brings a new ghostly friend along—Hilda Torres, the victim's mother. Hilda's determined to find peace for her dear departed son, and she needs my help to do it. So here I am, juggling potential suspects, searching for an enchanted recipe book, all the while wrestling with feelings for my childhood pal turned newfound crush.

But wait, there's more! Brace yourself for a revelation: not only am I playing detective but I am also unearthing hidden magical talents I never knew I had. This cozy mystery/journey of self-discovery takes an unexpected twist as Aggie and I discover powers beyond our wildest imagination.

So, let my story inspire both young and old,
That magic is within us, a tale yet untold.
With belief and courage, we all have a choice,
To awaken our powers and let them rejoice.
