"Amid magical shenanigans...this book might just have you laughing out loud." —Hazel Beck for Witches Get Stuff Done
Shy, sunshiney small-town antiques expert and full-time witch-slash-ghost wrangler catches feelings for the charming, perfectly polished customer in an expensive suit as they work together to renovate his family's historic (and definitely haunted) hotel.
Alice Seastairs is in a precarious position for a witch—isolated from her coven and regretting a lot of her choices. Keeping herself from her sisters is the only way she can protect them from a threat only she knows is coming. While Alice should be searching for the final missing Welling locks and protecting the ghostly residents of Shaddow House, she distracts herself with a job offer from Collin Bancroft. Handsome, surprisingly sweet and filthy rich, Collin needs her expertise to restore his historic Duchess Hotel from the previous owner's ghastly citrus-toned taste. Little does he know, Alice is also the perfect consultant for what to do when you discover a ghost running nightly through the hotel hallways. Spoiler alert: The solution is almost always late night snacking and smooching.
The weight of Alice's secrets only gets worse when her manipulative grandparents threaten to ruin her relationship with Collin. And because her life isn't complicated enough, Collin's delusional ex walks back into his life like she never left. And then there's the minor problem of an ancient magical family trying to take over Shaddow House, using the ghosts within for who-knows-what to further their nefarious agenda. Alice can only avoid her coven for so long before they come looking for her… She could really use a friend—or a house full of family, both living and dead.
Will Alice break from generational toxic patterns and claim the joy that she deserves? A witch doesn't kiss and spell...

My Thoughts:
It’s giving a lighter and airier episode of Charmed. Tell my why I started this series with the 3rd book because I am obsessed. This had the perfect spooky mystery vibes, just in time for my 2025 fall reading list compilation. I need to go back and read books one and two. Supposedly this is the final book in the series but that is just unacceptable, you must reconsider Molly! Romance-wise, this book isn’t very steamy but the storyline and the writing stand strong enough that you don’t miss it. While Alice does share a budding romance with millionaire hotelier Collin, this leans more towards sweet than steamy. I take no issue with that, I love a witchy romance with or without smut. There is quite a large cast of characters that you’d be more familiar with if you’d read the first two books because two of Alice’s other coven members have their own book in the series. That being said, you can read this book without feeling like you’ve missed some large plot point. There’s tons of ghosts, witches, witches doing witchy things and mysterious stuff happening. In the midst of all of that, Alice has some truly terrible grandparents to deal with in addition to her ex AND Collin’s. I can promise you that you will not be bored! If you love witchy romances like I do, this is a CANNOT MISS!
