The last thing Amalie Holmes expected to do was to be hit by lightning-on purpose. Inheriting a cottage in Pine Lake was supposed to be the escape from her stressful life as a social worker. Instead, she's taking witch lessons from her crazy, lightning-wielding grandmother, juggling guardianship of a sassy pre-teen, and taking over a pet shop, all while trying to get used to her super-loud, super-new family. Too bad she can't clone herself.

Maybe there's a spell for that?

When the head of the local Witch Council is found dead, and Amalie's Grandma Vivian is named the prime suspect, Amalie's new-found family is in jeopardy. At the risk of losing everything she had just gained, Amalie takes it on herself to clear Vivian's name and find the real killer-if the real killer doesn't find her first.
