Magic & Mixology Mystery

Lily Locke has barely had time to sink into her role as the Isle's newest Mixologist, when a series of events sends her world spiraling out of control. Her vampire cousin is overtaken by a serious bout of blood intolerance issues, and the key ingredient for the antidote is missing. Meanwhile, Zin is training day and night under the watchful eye of Grandma Hettie to break into the elite, male-dominated world of the Ranger security force, but it's a constant uphill battle. Then, Ranger X turns Lily's world upside down when he breaks the longstanding rules of the island and throws both her heart and her head into a tailspin. Hooded strangers, dangerous potions, and a budding romance threaten to ruin all that Lily's worked to achieve. Add in a stolen spellbook, and Lily's barely able to hold her head above water. When a body turns up on the beach, Lily must catch the murderer before a true battle begins.

The time has finally arrived! The Trials are in full swing and celebratory parties fill the Isle as Candidates go head-to-head to prove themselves worthy of the coveted Ranger title. Drinks, dances, and masquerade balls set the stage for a glamorous series of events until suddenly, it all changes. The most dangerous criminal on the island escapes from prison. Tragedy strikes. The Isle is thrown into chaos due to old, forbidden black magic, and only one person can help. As the island's Mixologist, Lily is expected to step in and save the day. When she's forced to keep secrets from X while deciphering decades-old clues, however, she's pushed to the edges of her sanity. With the help of her family, the Core, and her new boyfriend, X, Lily must stop the Puppeteer from taking over the island before it's too late. Because if she doesn't succeed, nobody will.

Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight . . . A childhood chant turns near deadly for Lily Locke when she's swept into The Faction's latest triumph-the overthrowing of the hidden, magical city of Wishery. When Ainsley and her team at MAGIC, Inc. beg Lily for her help, she agrees, taking on a load of problems that pile up faster than she can say Abracadabra. A new revolution in black magic stumps the island's burgeoning Mixologist, while a haunted house, a surprise birthday party, and rising familial troubles back on The Isle compete for her already-limited time and attention. Lily's barely hanging on by a thread, juggling life, love, and the pursuit of magic, when islanders start disappearing-one at a time. When a man warns her the next disappearance is imminent, Lily must crack the curse . . . before she's next. I wish I may, I wish I might . . . have the wish I wish tonight.

Life for Lily Locke has not been normal ever since she learned of her witchy heritage, but now more than ever, her world is spiraling out of control. When a series of strange events begin to tear her beloved island apart, it's up to the famed Mixologist to seek out the most powerful wizard in the world and spare him from death. However, as Lily begins the hunt for the Master of Magic, she encounters a prophecy that could destroy everyone she's come to know and love.

With a wedding on the horizon and her father tucked safely away in prison, the future is looking bright for Lily Locke. Unfortunately, life on The Isle is never calm for long. When a Ranger is killed brutally in plain sight, Lily and her fiancé-the renowned Ranger X-find themselves hunting a murderer more ruthless than any they've ever encountered before. However, unraveling the killer's intricate plot isn't her only problem. She has a cousin who is nowhere to be found. A dangerous hunter has escaped from prison. Ranger X is all but obsessed with his latest case, and she worries it's consuming him entirely. On top of all that, Lily must make a decision that will affect not only her own life but also the life of the man she loves more than anything else-and once that decision's made, there'll be no turning back.

When Lily Locke receives a royal decree summoning her to the Kingdom of Crystalvia, she can hardly turn down the request; however, the invitation comes with a catch. When the queen begs Lily to crack a curse that has held their village captive for three years, Lily promises to do everything she can to free them-because, if she doesn't, the kingdom will eventually languish... and disappear forever. But as Lily digs deeper into the mystery behind their endless winter, she finds the truth is a lot more than she bargained for. And when her father becomes involved, the situation turns more dangerous than ever. Still, only one thing is certain: if Lily can't fix the curse before the clock runs out, someone will die... and her name is up next.

When the king of the mermaids is poisoned, Lily is called to help with a problem she's never faced before-one beneath the surface of the water. As she sets about creating a potion to save his life, however, she realizes this is only one part of a much much larger problem. One morning, Lily receives a letter from an anonymous source stating that The Faction is planning to launch an attack against The Isle. Can Lily stop her father and The Faction before it's too late?
