Why the Aura Glow Gloams: A Murder, She Witches Mystery
By Kat McGee
Some mirrors reveal your true colors. This one reveals your expiration date.
Octavia Grimstone, co-owner of the Three Witches Bookstore, thought a relaxing day at Luscious Locks Beauty Salon was just what she needed. That plan gets thoroughly shattered when a rival elemental witch takes one look into a mysterious new aura mirror and flees in terror, straight into the path of an oncoming car.
What begins as a tragic accident soon proves to be something far more sinister. The mirror, etched with ancient binding symbols, doesn’t just show auras but omens. As more people who gazed into its depths turn up dead, a skeptical inspector finds himself stumped by a case that defies all logic.
With her bookstore co-owners by her side, Octavia must turn to her own investigative skills. Aided by her scathingly brilliant familiar, Elzadora, and the devastatingly handsome witch doctor, Cassius Morgenthrall, she navigates a world of quirky suspects, from glamour witches to grudge-holding leprechauns.
They’re dealing with stolen beauty formulas, weaponized vanity, and magic so old it bends the rules of reality. In a town obsessed with appearances, the deadliest secrets are the ones you can’t see coming.
