What's a witch to do when the meanest man in the county drops dead in his coleslaw during her shift at the local barbecue joint?

Desperate to put it all behind her, she packs her bags, and heads to the bar in Coastal Florida that she'd inherited from her father, sight unseen, to start over. Once she gets there, all is sunshine and fruity cocktails, until she finds an odd, old book in a hidden safe, and a cryptic letter from her father. At first, she writes it off to his eccentricity - that is, until she accidentally summons a storm when her ex pushes her one step too far.

Barbecue, craft fairs, and murder? Just another weekend with the Flynn witches.

The winter doldrums have everybody in a funk, so Coralee decides a pre-spring makeover special is just the thing to lighten the mood.

A handsome faerie comes to the Enchanted Coast for a killer vacation, but nobody counted on it being literal.

Sunshine, island music, and fabulous food - what else can a witch ask for? That is, until a Valkyrie's best friend is murdered during an Enchanted Coast Luau.

Witch Destiny Maganti loves working at a tiki bar on the Enchanted Coast, a beach getaway for paranormals. Between delivering drinks to mermaids and serving rare steaks to werewolves, she meets all sorts of interesting people. Plus, as a water witch, she's right at home on the ocean. The only downside is dealing with her boss, a disgraced angel who thinks the world owes him a living just because of his ancestry. An hour after he publicly humiliates her, he ends up dead.

Unfortunately, she has a lot to learn about perfection and finds out the hard way that growing up has nothing to do with age, and being independent doesn’t mean that you don’t occasionally need a little help.

A meddling mother, an ex who shows up out of the blue, and a centuries-old vampire with a God complex is enough to keep any girl busy.

When two people are murdered, all eyes turn to Cori to solve the crimes in time to prevent another killing. As details come to light, it appears that the next life she saves might be her own.

Keyhole Lake has its fair share of oddballs and ne'er-do-wells, but sometimes even good folks do bad things, right? At first, the crimes seem to stem from desperation or teenage rebellion, but when the president of the ladies' auxiliary is busted stealing church funds, Noelle starts to piece together a pattern that points to a much more nefarious - and magical - explanation.

As if her hands weren't full enough, the mysterious, impulsive vampire who founded the town has decided he doesn't like the way the town is running.

Moonlight, a handsome man, and...a dead body? Definitely not what Noelle expected when she cast off with Hunter to do a little romantic night fishing. The identity of the murdered girl is a mystery, and the only clue they have is a ring she was wearing on a chain around her neck.

Sunshine, massages, and drinks with little umbrellas in them. That's what cruises are all about, right? Maybe, unless you're a witch with a habit of finding trouble.
