Natural Magic

Welcome back to the Mudpuddle Bookshop and Cafe, where trouble is brewing in Primrose Court again... Zani Marinescu doesn't settle down. She chases cursed relics across continents... until the legendary Bloodstone Amulet vanishes from her travel case on the train home to Primrose Court. "Uh oh" doesn't half cover how much trouble she's in. Confined to a desk job in the Arcane Archives beneath the Mudpuddle Bookshop, Zani spends her days plotting her escape from her formidable great-aunt and the worst fate of all: staying put for more than five minutes. At least Will Porter, the irrepressibly charming half-fae, isn't letting her face it alone. Then a devastatingly polite vampire shows up in town with secrets of his own and a century-old mystery begins to unravel beneath Zani's feet. It seems the missing Bloodstone was only the beginning... An unputdownable cozy fantasy about magic and mishaps, found family and the revolutionary act of choosing yourself. Also featured: enchanted travel gear, lethargic vampires, portal-hopping through time for epic sandwiches and one very cursed piece of jewelry. Perfect for fans of J. Penner and Sarah Beth Durst. - Cottagecore cozy fantasy - Magical bookshop & café setting - He fell first, slow burn - Grumpy × Sunshine - Accidental time travel What readers are saying about this book: " Cosy, magical, timeslip adventure - leaves me craving the next book.

"If you love cozy fantasy, you do NOT want to miss this series! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!" Reader review, 5 stars Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea and let the Mudpuddle Bookshop work its magic. An unputdownable cozy fantasy for anyone who believes it's never too late for second chances, true love's kiss, or a really good cookie... Maida Westabrook has never set foot in Primrose Court-the hidden magical neighbourhood her mother left behind. But when she inherits the Mudpuddle Bookshop and Cafe, a creaky, enchanted Queen Anne house where the tea is always brewing and the lemon drizzle cookies vanish faster than you can bake them, she's pulled into a world she was never meant for. There's just one problem: Maida is Ordinary. No magic, no powers, no pointy boots. Its longtime caretaker-her formidable great-grandaunt Minerva-has spent decades protecting the shop and its priceless magical archives. She's not about to hand it all over to a girl who can't even cast a cleaning spell. But when a mysterious locket appears and the Mudpuddle vanishes without a trace, Maida discovers she may not be quite as Ordinary as everyone assumed. Now, surrounded by feuding witches, volatile shifters, terrible cheese puns, and a century-old love story that refuses to stay buried, she must uncover her family's magical legacy before it's lost for good.
