When Aunt Candace is nominated for a literary award, Rory and her family are thrilled that the library is chosen to host the ceremony. But the night ends in disaster when the organiser of the event turns up dead.
Needless to say, since the group of suspects all write about murders for a living, finding the culprit will be tricky. With her best friend also dealing with her newfound vampire nature and her dad's secrets on the brink of coming to the surface, Rory has her work cut out. Can she find the culprit among the guests before another victim is claimed?
It's the new year in Ivory Beach, and Rory is nursing a broken heart after Xavier's abrupt departure from town. A distraction comes in the form of a batch of new tourists visiting the library, but when a holidaying stranger returns a rare book to her family and is then found dead, Rory finds herself in hot water again.
Handling rare books is second nature to Rory's family, but this one has a little more personality than Rory is used to. Not only is it refusing to divulge its secrets, the killer might still be lurking among the hotel's other guests. When Rory meets fellow witch Blair Wilkes, visiting from the town of Fairy Falls with her boyfriend Nathan, Blair offers to use her unusual magical talent to help Rory to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Complicating matters, the Reaper returns to town along with his terrifying boss. Working with Xavier again might be the only way for Rory to solve the murder, but more than her heart is in danger this time.
Can Rory solve the mystery, repair her relationship with Xavier and stop the killer before he strikes again?

With people dropping off their brooms like flies, it's not a great time for Blair to try mastering flight. But without it, she'll fail her test and be doomed to spend her life being laughed at by witches half her age.
Can Blair keep it together, learn to fly, and catch a killer while she's at it? Or has her luck run out?
Blair's life is starting to look up. Life is back to normal, she's found a clue about her family history, and her relationship with Nathan might finally be getting somewhere. Naturally, that's when a dead body shows up in her boss's office.
With the paranormal hunters in town, one mistake might lead to catastrophe. And what's she to do when the person she suspects of committing the murder is already behind bars?
Can Blair get to the truth, or will she be the one to end up on trial?

Nobody in town likes the wand-maker. There might be a dozen people with a grudge... or he might be hiding another secret of his own.

To make things worse, a magical wishing box intended for the weekend's event disappears, and soon after, a string of inexplicable pranks hits the inn, seemingly a result of the box's powerful magic.
Carol is inclined to blame both the theft and the pranks on her long-term business rival, Janice, but all too soon, events are spiraling out of control. Can Carol fix the trouble before the holiday cheer is ruined?

Maura’s past experience says the Wardens aren’t to be trusted, but with her own skills limited and the law enforcement standing in her way at every turn, she’s forced to accept a reluctant alliance with the newcomers… in particular, with Perry, a witch who may be hiding as many secrets as Maura herself is.
Can Maura and the squad of monster hunters deal with their newest adversary? Or will Maura herself end up being hunted instead?
