Familiar Kitten Mysteries

Kinsley never thought she would go home. She left Coventry and didn't look back. But after a divorce, she packed up her stuff and drove toward the only place that she knew would accept her. Life hadn't been easy for Kinsley since she left town. She'd spent her entire adult life rebelling against what she was, and that meant hiding her true self from the world. Kinsley left Coventry on a mission to be ordinary. But you know what they say about the best-laid plans. Coventry isn't your typical town. It's home to the most powerful family of witches in the world. Two ancient witch families united when her parents married, and she was supposed to be their leader. Nobody ever asked Kinsley if that's what she wanted. Funny how the universe worked because there she was rolling into Coventry in her broken-down car. The welcome party was short-lived, because a dead guy turned up. The town's sheriff starts to give Kinsley the side-eye. But, a lot of people wanted the victim dead. There's a murderer on the loose, and Kinsley's got to learn to harness her powers. And, then there's Meri, the black cat familiar. Someone decides to grant him one wish for his service, and it doesn't go as planned.

The Midnight Magic Festival is upon Coventry, and Kinley Skeenbauer is excited to participate for the first time. Since her shop, Summoned Goods & Sundries, is the newest thing in Coventry, she's been invited to provide swag bags and decorations for the festivities. With Meri at her side, Kinsley is ready to pull out all the stops and make this year's Midnight Magic Festival the best her hometown has ever seen. There's just one problem . . . A new witch, Astra Argent, has moved to Coventry and opened a competing shop across the street from Kinsley's store. When Kinsley comes to work one morning only to find her windows smashed, decorations destroyed, swag bags missing, and Astra's wallet in the glass, she's furious. A confrontation the whole town witnesses goes down in front of Astra's shop, The Summoning Scroll. Thirteen hours later, Astra is found dead on Kinsley's front porch. Her body is sitting in a rocking chair with a cocktail in her hand. The macabre staged scene sends a shockwave through Coventry. Someone wanted Astra dead, and they wanted Kinsley to go down for the crime. Can Kinsley and her friends solve the murder, or will she end up caught in a killer's wicked snare?

When someone close to Kinsley is cursed, she turns to a Voodoo Priestess to help her break the awful spell. This seems to be the right solution . . . until the Priestess turns up dead. A detective from New Orleans arrives in Coventry, determined to prove that Kinsley had something to do with the murder. Worse yet, the Priestess's husband, and fellow Voodoo Priest, rolls into town the next day, but he's not looking for justice. His eye is on revenge. But, is he as innocent as he claims to be? After all, most people know that most of the time, it's the husband that did the deed . . . But the suspect list doesn't end there. A few Coventry residents didn't like that Kinsley brought a Voodoo Priestess into their town. Did it make them angry enough to kill? Kinsley and friends are a pinprick away from danger while working to solve this case. Can she conjure the truth? Or will Kinsley end up caught in a killer's bedeviled snare? Come along as the intrepid residents of Coventry solve this crime one spell at a time.
