Convicted Witch
(2015)(The first book in the Jagged Grove Magical Mystery series)
A novel by Willow Monroe
What the hex?
Trinket's life is on track to be fabulous...until the moment her crazy mother screws up yet another magic spell and draws the attention of the A.S.S. (Abnormal and Supernatural Security). The agent that shows up at her door is named Angelo. He is sizzling hot, bullheaded, and mysterious, and he promptly banishes the two of them to Jagged Grove, a weird island full of magical women and men, mystical creatures, and other strange beings.
Trouble brewing...
Trinket and her mom fit right in, even if she refuses to admit it. Now she's stuck in this town that doesn't actually exist to serve out her sentence: teach a young witch named Maggie how to be a healer and get her mom under control. Then, if she's lucky, she can go home. It should be a piece of cake, except for the fact that Trinket once killed somebody trying to heal them and she vowed to never practice her magic again.Oh, and when she gets to Jagged Grove Maggie is dead.
Now, with the help of a too-sexy werewolf, an elegant vampire, and her sweet but unhelpful mother, Trinket has to figure out who murdered Maggie and find a way home before her real life crumbles away to nothing.
Genre: Cozy Mystery/Paranormal. Features a magical family, fantastical new friends and enemies, and more sticky situations than any one person can handle!
EXCERPT:
"That's Killswallow Park," Angelo says. I look to see a tree-lined open area, tucked in between a candy store and a bookstore that seems to specialize in ancient grimoires. Two halflings are having a picnic in the shade of a huge oak tree. One of them, with lovely long white-blonde hair, looks up and waves when she sees Angelo.
"You seem to be a celebrity here," I remark.
"I like to think I've helped people," he says quietly, waving back at her.
"How so?" This isn't snarky, I'm genuinely interested.
"Most of the people here were sort of lost when the Agency found them. They were using their magic, but not to be devious. They just wanted to... spread their wings, I guess, but it was causing all sorts of unintended trouble."
"Sort of like how people with mental disorders self-medicate? They were... what? Self-magicating?"
He smiles at my joke. "Maybe. It's hard to be a supernatural in the modern American world. They didn't fit in where they were, but here they've found a place to be themselves. I like to think they are happier now." He looks me dead in the eye. "Contrary to whatever you think about me, I'm just trying to do what's best for everyone involved."
