(2025)(The sixth book in the Magical Bookstore Mystery series)
A novel by Sue Hollowell
A missing brother. A desperate detective. And a small-town secret that could unravel everything.
When Arabella is asked to help find Detective Derek Reed’s missing brother, her witchy instincts tell her there’s more to this case than meets the eye. With a few untapped magical abilities and a lot of determination, Arabella dives into the investigation, quickly finding herself pulled into the dark underbelly of the seemingly quaint town she calls home.
Their search uncovers a hidden world where a dangerous cult practices dark magic and leaves a trail of mysterious symbols that lead right back to Arabella’s own family history. Her grandmother Gigi knows more than she’s saying, and the more Arabella digs, the more she uncovers a web of secrets that could spell trouble for everyone she loves.
As Arabella and Derek close in on the truth, the cult strikes back, capturing them and forcing Arabella into a dangerous game where her magical skills—and her courage—are put to the ultimate test. With time running out, she must harness her full potential to save them all, confront the vengeful cult leader, and end a long-standing feud that could destroy her family.
Can Arabella unravel the mystery and master her magic before it’s too late? Or will the cult’s sinister plans claim another victim?
