Description | Francie’s accidentally become a dark witch, her best friend is accused of murder and there’s an evil book on the loose… Luckily she’s got a grumpy cat and an octogenarian mentor to help crack the case.
Newly-minted dark witch and small town librarian Francie Vespertine would prefer her new magic to be fueled by rainbows and butterflies, but you can’t always get what you want. Neither can her feline familiar, Kongressman Kittles. When his favorite brand of cat litter is discontinued, he’s in an uproar–and if the cat’s not happy, no one is happy.
When a visiting author winds up dead, Francie’s best friend Penny is accused of the crime. Now she’s got to find the real killer before they strike again.
And to make matters worse, a book is missing. A missing book is a librarian’s nightmare on a good day, but this isn’t one. The book is bad. More than just give-you-a-paper-cut bad. It’s pure evil, written in blood–and drives whoever reads it insane.
Plus the ghost of Frankenstein (Victor, not his monster) is lurking in the Archives and he’s on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough. Maybe he can resurrect Francie’s love life, too?
With everything stacked against her, could this be the last page in the story for an ordinary witch and her extraordinary library cat?
This is a full-length paranormal cozy mystery novel with restless literary spirits, a fledgling middle-aged witch and a pampered pussycat in a secret supernatural town—plus a recipe easy enough for a weeknight meal yet fancy enough to please the most finicky of felines
