Unfinished Witchness

Unfinished Witchness HAUNTED HAVEN BOOK ONE ADA BELL EMPRESS BOOKS Unfinished Witchness Since inheriting her grandfather’s hearth magic, Emma's chores have never been so much fun. Her house sparkles, dishes wash themselves, and her pancakes...Well, she's a witch, not a miracle worker. Emma’s mansion would make a perfect bed-and-breakfast, if only she could deliver on that second "B". It's time to hire someone who can prepare a meal without burning the place down. Everything is going great until Emma’s new chef turns up dead and police shut the venture down practically before it opens. Determined to get back on track, Emma takes the investigation into her own hands. With magic, a talking cat, and ghostly grandfather, solving the murder should be a breeze, right? Wrong. Being incorporeal and tied to the mansion makes Grandpa Walter less than an ideal partner. The cat is as helpful as, well, your average house cat. And local police don't appreciate Emma's assistance one bit. Can she find the murderer or will she be forced to start over yet again? Praise for Ada Bell “Mystic Pieces is a charming, humorous, and original mystery that weaves a tale of murder and self-discovery with heart, family, and psychic visions.” READER’S FAVORITE “…I liked Aly as a main character and reading about her and her powers. I liked the side characters and how each had their own personality that made it easy to remember. All in all I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in the series!” LOLA’S BOOK REVIEWS “A cute and cozy introduction to the quirky and devoted characters, Mystic Pieces is the perfect first installment to the Shady Grove Psychic Mystery Series.” LITERARY LIONESS The attached novel is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, places, or events is merely a coincidence. But if you happen to be a witch with powers like Emma’s, please reach out. Copyright © 2022 by Laura Heffernan.

I know lots of people here who would give a hundred thousand dollars to have a grandfather, and much more than that to have a family ghost.” OSCAR WILDE, THE CANTERVILLE GHOST Unfinished Witchness Since inheriting her grandfather’s hearth magic, Emma's chores have never been so much fun.
