Mia the kitchen witch has her hands full dealing with her grandmother's undead ex, her boyfriend's (Maltese) hellhound training, and investigating the death of a coven rep in New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon's irresistibly witchy cozy mystery for fans of Auralee Wallace, Eva Gates, Bailey Cates, and Esme Addison.
Mia's grandmother is feeling stress about an ex who's returned . . . from the dead. Mia's boyfriend is confined to his home for six weeks in a desperate attempt to get his fluffy Maltese pup, Cerby, trained as a hellhound. And Mia herself is being hassled by the coven, which is suddenly questioning the validity of her witch credentials!
Suspected of cheating on her exam, Mia is pressured to retake it. When she not only passes but moves up two levels, national coven rep Suzanne Parker is furious. Parker, a relative of a witch hanged in Salem, threatens Mia with a witch's worst nightmare. When she's found dead the very next day, the coven suspects the kitchen witch's potions contained an extra, very lethal ingredient.
With all this toil and trouble, Mia has no choice but to prove that she's a good witch—in every sense of the word . . .
