Dead and Breakfast — Mara Webb

Take a trip to Compass Cove, an enchanted town full of magic and mayhem…

Things are heating up in Compass Cove, there's a serial arsonist on the loose and it seems their targets aren't random. A new crime scene appears with a message for the Wick family: You're next.

As luck has it there's more than one frying pan for Zora to hop out of this time. The neighboring mining town of Siskapon is facing paranormal problems of its own. Three people have been reported missing but when Zora and Hudson go to check it out there's one slight issue -- none of the town residents seem to recall the missing people ever living there.

Things only get stranger when Zora gets a free minute to remember that her familiar, Hermes, was recently revealed to be a world-renowned jewel thief. He's on the run and Magical Crimes Investigation are turning the world upside down to try and find him. A swat team of magical agents in your apartment while you read the morning paper? Just another Monday for Zora.

That's probably enough in itself to keep Zora's head spinning, but her adopted teenage daughter has just started high school and keeping adolescent emotions in check might just be the toughest nut to crack out of all of them.

Will Zora survive to see Christmas? Only time will tell.
