Elle Adams

Bookshop assistant Aurora "Rory" Hawthorn thinks reality will never be as interesting as fiction. Content to spend her time escaping into a good book to avoid her micromanaging boss, the very last thing she expects is to be cornered by a group of terrifying strangers hunting down a journal that belonged to her late father.

It turns out Dad was keeping a secret or two… most importantly, that he was a wizard, and that Rory has a hidden magical family she's never met. When her witchy relatives invite her to live with them in their enchanted library on the south coast of England, it's literally a dream come true.

Until she stumbles upon a dead body concealed behind a bookshelf.

Juggling a new family and job would be enough of a challenge without also having to deal with a murder mystery, cranky familiars, and the attention of the local reaper -- even if he is the hottest guy in town.

It's up to Rory to embrace her new witchy powers to help catch a killer before she loses the new life she never knew she wanted.

Hollis McCarthy

A Library Witch Mystery

Spells & Shelves

It's Valentine's Day in Ivory Beach, and Rory's family's magical library is ready for the occasion. Rory is hoping for a visit from a certain Reaper, but instead finds herself drawn into another mystery when the person hired to play Cupid and deliver Valentine's cards to the town's citizens is found shot by one of his own arrows.

On top of that, a blind dating craze goes sour, with tempers rising and curses flying left and right. Can Rory get to the truth in time to stop the mayhem from engulfing the library, too, or will it all end in disaster?

Love Spells & Late Fees

It's been several months since Rory left her old life behind to move to her family's magical library in the coastal town of Ivory Beach. When her best friend from back home gets in touch, she can't wait to introduce her to her new family -- even if she can't share the truth of the magical world with an outsider.

When a vampire shows up dead, however, Rory finds herself revisiting a more unwelcome part of her history, and the scheming vampires who've made it their goal to get their hands on Rory's late father's journal.

Did one of the vampires commit murder, or is there a new enemy about to enter Rory's life? If she wants the truth, she's going to have to face her fears… or her loved ones might well be the ones to suffer the consequences.

Fangs & Fiction

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?

Wraiths & Writers

Life is good for Rory Hawthorn. She's progressing well in her magical lessons and is also finally unearthing her father's long-kept secrets. If not for the Grim Reaper trying to interfere in her love life, things would be perfect.

Until the Grim Reaper goes missing, at the same time as a lethal curse is set loose in Ivory Beach which leaves even Rory's family stumped. With the local curse-breaker being as unhelpful as ever, a particularly annoying local celebrity in town and the vampires scheming, it's a wonder she has any time to uncover the secrets her father kept hidden in his journal - even if his past is linked to the present in more ways than she knows.

Can Rory and Xavier put an end to the deadly curse and win themselves back into the Grim Reaper's good graces?

Curses & Cliffhangers

With summer on the way, Rory is looking forward to relaxing at the beach between her latest set of magical exams.

A mysterious beast appearing from the sea and terrifying everyone was not part of her plan.

Rory's cousin Cass, who responds to anything involving magical beasts by instantly making friends with it, is first to take an interest. But this beastie seems to have no intention of playing nice, and between her cousin's antics and Aunt Candace's unending hunt for a good story, Rory has her hands full trying to stop her relatives from running headlong into danger.

The strange new family in town who have an affinity with animals might be the key to helping her solve the mystery of what the creature is and where it came from. But Robin and her squirrel familiar, Tansy, have their own secrets - and if Rory isn't careful, their presence in town might expose the library's hidden depths for everyone to see.

Can Rory get to the bottom of the mystery before her family lands in a pit of trouble as deep as the ocean floor?

Monsters & Manuscripts

The summer carnival has arrived at Ivory Beach, and Rory and her magical family are ready to enjoy the festivities.

At least until a vampire shows up dead, a stake in his back, and a furious Evangeline sweeps in to take over the murder investigation. Edwin, head of the police, pleads with Rory to make her see reason, but the fearsome leader of the local vampires refuses to be taken for a fool. Regardless, the murder brings to mind Rory's terrifying induction to the magical world, and the group of deadly vampires set on getting their hands on the library's deepest secrets.

The recent death might have nothing to do with the Founders, but Rory refuses to take that chance. To protect her family and her newly turned vampire best friend Laney, she is determined to find answers.

Can Rory manage to cooperate with Evangeline and catch a killer, or will she find herself in an early grave?

Vampires & Verses

Rory Hawthorn knows her family's magical library contains an endless array of secrets, but even her fellow biblio-witches little expect a corridor that’s been missing for over two decades to suddenly materialise again.

They don’t expect it to put a curse upon Rory’s aunt Candace, either.

With the library once again at the centre of a potential disaster, can Rory help her family unravel the mysteries of the lost corridor and break the curse, or will she be the next to succumb?

Bewitchments & Bookworms

Rory and her magical family have been through their fair share of tribulations. The sudden reappearance of a hidden corridor in the library has unleashed a series of baffling riddles left by the library’s creator, but Rory’s deceased grandmother’s motives are as shrouded in mystery as ever.

When a professor is poisoned to death at the local university, everyone thinks it’s an accident. Only Rory and her family know of a potential link with a notorious group of vampires who are tangled up with her family’s own history. Before she knows it, danger is afoot, and the past is intruding on the present in unexpected ways.

Can Rory unearth the truth before she ends up consigned to the pages of history herself?

Potions & Paperbacks

Rory Hawthorn is in a bind - and not the sort that involves book pages. Her best friend has fallen into a coma, courtesy of rare poison without any known cure. The only source of information lies with the Founders, the knowledge-hunting vampires who want revenge on Rory for thwarting their plans - and to infiltrate the library and steal its secrets.

A potential lifeline appears when a strange Reaper shows up in town with her ghostly brother, claiming to want to help a group of lost spirits that have appeared at the Founders’ old house. To help the ghosts and save her best friend, Rory walks a dangerous tightrope between the Reapers and the vampires as she draws closer to the truth.

Can Rory survive long enough to pull off a miracle, or will the next lost soul to show up in the Grim Reaper’s domain be her own?
