Welcome to Salem, where paranormals of all kinds live in harmony. Mostly.Gemma Bradbury used to be the epitome of a basic thirty-something woman—obsessed with social media, Netflix, and Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes. But when she stumbles into a new life in Magickal Salem, everything changes. Gemma finds herself tangled up in the suspicious death of an elderly shop owner, realizes her cat can … shop owner, realizes her cat can talk, and discovers she’s an actual witch.
She also finds out that she’s stuck in Salem. Forever.
But once the Coven assigns her a magical tutor—the drop-dead gorgeous Professor Beauregard Bacchus—and she makes friends with a real fairy princess, things start to look up.
All she has to do now is learn to navigate a new town full of witches, vampires and shifters, manage a magic shop, pass her first wand exam, and maybe flirt a bit with the handsome paranormal bachelors in her new town.
Oh, and find the shop owner’s real killer before Salem’s bumbling moose-shifter deputy tosses her in jail for murder.
Suddenly, this witch’s life isn’t so basic anymore.
Fans of witty cozy mysteries will love this magickal tale featuring a reluctant female sleuth, an opinionated feline familiar and a touch of romance set in a quaint (and gossipy) supernatural village.
Note: This book contains lighthearted and sarcastic humor, mild swearing, and sexual innuendos. Bonus recipes included.

Great cozy mystery read.
This is the first book I have read by Harmony Hart and it was a delight. It is filled with fun likeable characters, a witty, complex plotline and a mysterious town full of magic and mayhem that will draw you in.
Gemma Bradbury inherits a magic shop from her great-aunt in Salem, Oregon and she is not sure what to make of it. She’s not Wiccan, knows nothing of the world and just one day poof…she inherits a shop from an aunt she did not even know. After quitting another dead end job in the corporate world, she decides to jump in and try to make a go of it, hoping to finally discover a purpose for her life. She discovers quickly as the business slows to a crawl it is harder than she thought it would be, especially when she realizes her customers expect her to actually know something about magic. After diving into the books and materials in the shop to educate herself she feels comfortable enough to engage the customers and hopeful for a thriving business as an outcome. After closing one night she and her cat, Titus, fall through a bookcase into a hidden room that transports them to an alternate Salem…a magical Salem full of mystery and exciting new things. Oh, and the dead body she landed on upon her arrival. She now has a whole new world to navigate while trying to clear herself as the lead suspect in the murder and learn to control the magic that has emerged within her. I will definitely be on the lookout for other books by this author in this fun series. I look forward to seeing how Gemma’s powers develop and which love interest she chooses. *I voluntarily read/reviewed an ARC of this book.
