Ella Bloom Mysteries

The only thing sweeter than honey, is revenge. When magic returns to Gloamington, the town holds a Spring Awakening Festival. It should be an opportunity to celebrate. Instead, it becomes the perfect stage for murder. When the mayor is found dead at the festival, Malcolm Fawkes and Ella Bloom find themselves hunting a killer among the celebrating crowd. The sheriff calls it an accident but the great detective knows better. The mayor had more enemies than friends. From the baker whose dreams he crushed to the beekeeper he battled, everyone had a reason to want Mayor Estes gone. As magical races flood back to town demanding permits, properties and long–lost treasures, Ella and Malcolm race to uncover the truth. But in a town drunk on newly returned magic, where honey flows through everything and old grievances run deep, nothing is what it seems. Can Ella and Malcolm catch a killer before it's too late? Or will the sweetest revenge claim another victim? Magic Can Bee Deadly is the second book in the enchanting Ella Bloom Mysteries.

Ella Bloom can see magic no one else can-and it's leading her straight to a killer. When Ella accepts a mysterious job in the picturesque town of Gloamington, all she wants is six weeks of peace and a place to call home. Instead, she finds herself assistant to Malcolm Fawkes, a renowned paranormal detective with no memory of hiring her-or much of anything else. When magic that only Ella can see leads her to a murder, she discovers Gloamington isn't the quaint small town it appears to be. Five years ago, it was a magical haven until something went terribly wrong. Now the town's dormant wellspring-the Gloaming-is stirring again, awakening with Ella's arrival. With a reluctant Malcolm by her side, Ella must navigate a web of secrets, suspicious townspeople and her own mysterious connection to Gloamington's magical past. Someone in town is willing to kill to keep magic buried forever. Ella's unusual abilities make her their next likely target. The Gloaming is opening once more. Could Ella Bloom be the key to everything? Dying for Magic is the first in an enchanting mystery series from the creator of the blockbuster Beaufont universe.
