After a bitter divorce and a string of bad luck, Shay Graves seizes the opportunity to pack up her daughter and move back to the enchanted island of Mystic Key to work as a cosmetologist for her family's funeral business. With a teenage daughter about to come into her witchy powers, a family of eccentric witches only a stone’s throw away, and a job where the dead always have a say in their funeral arrangements, she’s certainly got her hands full. But when the spirit of the recently deceased High Priestess appears and claims her death wasn’t an accident, things take a bizarre turn. Even worse, she’s determined to use Shay’s daughter as a pawn if it means she’ll get some answers. Proof that hell hath no fury like a vengeful spirit. And if there’s one way to ruin a fifteen-year-old girl’s birthday, it’s being possessed by the ghost of a bitter, old witch. When local law enforcement proves to be less than helpful, it’s up to Shay to free her daughter from her new ghostly companion and, quite possibly, bring a murderer to justice. Lucky for her, she has a family of —mostly— capable witches ready to help end the murderous mayhem brewing up all over town. If you like humorous paranormal cozy mysteries full of magic, misfits, and mayhem, then journey into Mystic Key and meet the Witches of Shadow Lane. less

All Alvin Graves is worried about is passing his continuing education course at Mystic Key University. But when Shay’s father falls ill, she agrees – albeit begrudgingly – to attend on his behalf and take copious notes. It’s only an hour out of her day, after all. What could possibly go wrong? As luck would have it, it just so happens to be the day all spell breaks loose on campus. Now, Shay is left shaken and an unexplainable rash of suicides has the town in a tizzy. Even more troubling, the spirits have descended on Shadow Lane and they are adamant that foul play is involved. What’s worse, they aren’t going anywhere until they find out what – or who – is responsible. But with a mystery more convoluted and a killer more subtle than any she’s faced before, Shay will have to think fast before someone close to her becomes the next victim. less
