The Witch's Wicked Bargain

Sage Poe's life is about to take a terrifying turn . . . again. When the new owner of the Bone Gap Gazette drops dead faster than Aunt Hecate's soufflés, Sage finds herself at the center of yet another murder investigation. With the town buzzing louder than a hive of magical bees, she must use her wit, charm, and occasionally malfunctioning magic to uncover the truth. As Sage delves deeper into the mystery, she unearths a twisted web of small-town secrets, shady deals, and a killer who's more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. With her sisters Lovage and Angelica by her side (and occasionally in the way), Sage must navigate the grumpy local sheriff, a suspiciously charming new doctor, and her own Aunt Hecate, whose magical outbursts are becoming more unpredictable than the weather during Mercury retrograde. But when Sage's snooping puts her in the killer's crosshairs, she must race against time to solve the case before she becomes the next headline. Can Sage crack the case and keep Aunt Hecate's magic in check, or will Bone Gap's latest scandal be her obituary?
