I thought a free latte would be the highlight of my day. Instead, it changed my life.
What was supposed to be a simple errand for my aunt—a quick delivery to a nearby town—spirals into a whirlwind of magical mishaps, suspicious detours, and way too much fur when I accidentally adopt a dog… much to my cat’s dismay.
Now I’m dealing with enchanted caffeine, a missing family member, and two talkative pets with a lot of opinions. The only person who might be able to help? My ex-high-school sweetheart, Jones—the last person I want back in my life.
But with danger brewing and long-buried secrets bubbling to the surface, Jones may be my only option. Mockingbird Springs may be a small Southern town, but something big is stirring—and if I don’t figure it out fast, this latte might just be my last.
Murder, magic, and muffins—bless your heart if you think this week’s gonna be normal.
Small towns have secrets. Mine brews them fresh daily. Welcome to Mockingbird Springs, home of my quirky little coffee shop, Magickal Beans. Running a small business was supposed to be a peaceful gig—serve lattes, sell baked goods, and avoid accidentally poisoning anyone. Simple enough.
Then a local land developer drops dead, and since he had his eye on my property, the blame lands squarely on me. Now I’ve drawn the attention of a detective who’s all side-eye and sharp cheekbones.
Oh, and let’s not forget my two chatty pets who think they’re helping solve a murder and my ex, who’s suddenly keen on rebuilding our friendship in hopes of a do-over. Because of course he is.
If I don’t clear my name, I could lose everything—my café, my reputation, and what’s left of my social life. Good thing I’ve got strong coffee, a stronger support system, and just enough weirdness to survive the most chaotic week of my life.
The Cursed Coffee Beans is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery filled with magical mishaps, adorable animals, and enough caffeine to keep a small Southern town buzzed for days.
Murder, magic, and misfits—secrets are steeping in Mockingbird Springs.
I thought life at Magickal Beans was finally settling down. Then my cousin Ross arrived from the U.K. with a posh accent, a mysterious past, and a flair for reading tea leaves. Letting him hang his shingle in a quiet corner of the coffee shop was supposed to be a quirky attraction.
Then he pretended to predict a murder, and someone had the gall to make it come true.
Now the police are pointing fingers, and Ross is suspect number one. It’s up to me to prove my cosmopolitan cousin is as harmless as his fish and chips addiction. When the tea leaves get murkier, my pets launch their own magical investigation.
Tension in town is heating up faster than a whistling kettle, and secrets are bubbling to the surface. To clear Ross’s name and get him back across the pond where he belongs, I’ll need every ounce of courage, caffeine, and charm I’ve got.
The Tainted Tea Leaves is a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery filled with mystical mischief, cheeky charm, and enough enchanted tea to keep a small town buzzing with gossip.
