At her side is a sarcastic cat, headstrong cousins, and a whole host of townsfolk who are nothing short of interesting.

Life in Compass Cove felt like it was heading in the right direction, but events beyond her control force her to hit the road. It’s only been a month since she inherited her aunt’s bakery and business has already slowed down. Turns out being the new witch in town only brings in the crowds for so long, and an infestation of magical creatures in her apartment means she needs to shut everything down for three days. When disaster strikes, improvise.

There’s a Bread Fair on the calendar, and the locals take their dough very seriously. There’s a competition on the cards and prize money at stake, and apparently, it’s worth killing over. If that wasn’t enough to handle a new bread shop has opened in town, a voodoo-inspired bakery operated by a mysterious witch who is dabbling in dark magic or just very good at pretending. Her shop is full of rotting food and disturbing symbols, but the humans of Compass Cove are lapping it up, and lines are forming around the block. Zora’s convinced there’s more there than meets the eye. Zora also has to find a moment to wade through an awful morning of interviews for a bakery assistant, try and figure out why she saw her missing mother hiding in her bathroom mirror, and keep her boneheaded guardians from killing each other—if they don’t get killed by a troublesome magical pest first. On top of that one of Zora’s friends has fallen into trouble with sirens, a dark and brooding group of creatures that inhabit Compass Cove lake. Can she give the merfolk what they want without losing her friend?

There’s no loafing around for Zora, she’ll have to go against the grain and catch a killer before her plans go a-rye.

Things are looking up in the bakery, however. When a famous musician walks in and puts down a stack of cash for a personal commission, the job almost seems too good to be true.

Thrust into the middle of another murder mystery, Zora finds herself motivated by the fact that one of her closest friends is top of the suspect list. Clear a name, find the real killer, all in a day’s work. Missing ingredients with the potential to produce a dangerous brew must be tracked down by order of a strange old witch, Nana Bucktooth, who is demanding Zora take charge. To make matters worse her two guardians have been stuck together with a joining curse, meaning the alpha male rivals can go no further than ten feet from one another. Will they finally learn to get on, or just get straight to killing each other? If her wand was working properly, it might all be a little easier, but there’s only one creature in the town that can help get Zora a new wand, and they won’t lift a twiggy finger until Zora manages to solve a riddle that makes no sense. With so many plates spinning around her it’s enough to make a witch scream. Can Zora get through another week in the calamitous Compass Cove before she becomes its latest victim? Bad luck like this is enough to make a witch wonder if she’s cursed, but sometimes that’s just how the cookie crumbles…
