Once Wicked: a Paranormal Cozy Mystery

“A cast of characters that keep you laughing, guessing, and turning the pages.”. A girl would have to be crazy to move to a town that had once killed her long-ago grandmother for being a witch. Especially since attitudes toward witchery haven’t changed much for some residents. But the quaint New England village with its historical stone bridges and tree-lined streets could charm the sense out of anyone, including Hazel.. Besides, she’s good at keeping secrets, and the quiet town is the ideal place to open a tea shop. She swears she won’t stir up trouble…in a cauldron or otherwise, while she quietly digs for information about her grandmother.. Then someone poisons her customer’s husband, messing with her perfectly-laid plans, and she ends up on the suspect list. To make matters worse, the handsome police chief, who doesn’t like witches, decides he likes her.. Lucky for Hazel, a snarky orange tabby, who may or may not be older than time, and a ghost from the past reluctantly agree to help her. She figures she’ll be fine…as long as they discover the murderer before she’s forced to cast another spell.. Once Wicked is the first book in the Teas and Temptations Paranormal Cozy Mystery series (best enjoyed in order). If you love endearing characters, picturesque scenery, and murder most foul, you’ll adore Cindy Stark’s enchanting cozy mysteries.. Get your copy of Once Wicked because you deserve a fun escape into a world of delightful magic!. PG-rated fun that contains no gore, adult situations, or swearing.
