Hex Support Mystery

Katherine Fairfield isn't a typical woman-or a typical witch. Once upon a time, she worked as an agent for Hex Support, a secret division within the Federal Bureau of Magic. Following the tragic death of her husband, she quit to focus on raising their twins. Now the kids are in college, and Kit spends her days at the enchanted family estate known as Dark Hollow along with her two younger sisters and a sanctuary of forgotten familiars. But then duty calls. Kit has no interest in returning to her previous life, but her former boss makes her an offer she can't refuse. A prominent supernatural socialite has been murdered in Savannah, and Hex Support could really use the talents of a Fairfield witch to crack the case. Begrudgingly, Kit dusts off her badge and heads to Savannah, where she meets the suspects-as well as a mysterious vampire known only as Palmer, who seems to know far more than he should. As Kit closes in on the killer, she's forced to call upon magical skills she's long ignored and face the reality of her new life. Will she retreat into the dark recesses of her sanctuary and let a killer go free, or will the Green Witch rise to the challenge and remind the supernatural world who's boss?

Elizabeth Fairfield is a powerful book witch with a lofty legacy to uphold. Much to her chagrin, that legacy has mainly involved caring for the family's enchanted house, Dark Hollow, and their sanctuary for animal companions. When Elizabeth finally stretches her wings and visits an old friend in Salem, Massachusetts, her trip takes a dark turn. A prestigious psychic has been found dead under puzzling circumstances and Hex Support, the secret division within the Federal Bureau of Magic, once again leans on the Fairfield witches by calling upon Elizabeth for help. Thankfully it isn't all gruesome puzzle-solving for the book witch. During the investigation, she crosses paths with Nathan, a werewolf with the body of a gym rat and the brains of a professor. Suddenly Elizabeth finds herself wanting to explore more than just his books...until the evidence points to him. Will Elizabeth experience her first taste of failure and let a killer go free, or will she rise to the challenge and prove herself worthy of the Fairfield name?

Youngest sister Grace Fairfield is the family rebel. Fun-loving, clever, and creative, she elevates rebelliousness to an art form, often resulting in chaos in Dark Hollow. When Grace is assigned her first Hex Support case at a haunted amusement park, she's thrilled to revisit her beloved stomping grounds from college. Unfortunately, the case involves an employee found dead on an expensive new rollercoaster that's supposed to bring in enough revenue to prevent the park's closure. Grace needs to act fast: if she can solve the case by Halloween, there's still a chance the new rollercoaster can open in time to save the park from bankruptcy. There is, however, one teensy complication in the form of Luke Brookstone, an old flame who worked at the park with her during college breaks. Even more distracting: he's human and knows nothing about the magical world. Despite their chemistry, Grace knows that a relationship with a human would be met with nothing but disapproval by her witchy ancestors. Then again, when was Grace Fairfield ever one to fall in line? The clock is ticking on the fate of the amusement park, as well as Grace's reunion with Luke. Can she stop the killer in time to save her beloved park, or will it all go downhill from here?
