Ink, Spells and Cinnamon Rolls

Ella Janssen, spunky, physics major, and soon-to-be college grad, is looking forward to a summer of relaxation before her future unfolds.

Instead, she finds herself reluctantly agreeing to fill in for her mom while she went on an extended honeymoon with her new husband, and begins managing a bustling cafe nestled within an esoteric bookstore in the heart of Paradise Cove.

Just as Ella starts balancing lattes, laughter, and looming graduation, the murder of a charismatic exchange student leads to an investigation that shatters the tranquility of her beach town.

Thrust into the heart of the investigation, Ella finds herself alongside a handsome detective and a mysterious young man from Hungary claiming to be the victim's best friend.

Yet nothing in Paradise Cove is as it seems. Hidden beneath its surface are native lore of shapeshifters, ancient magic, and a sinister underbelly that threatens to destroy the harmony of the town. Luckily, a psychic cat and Oscar the talking parrot are here to help.

In a race against time to solve the mystery, Ella must rise to the occasion, or crumble under the heat in the tale of Ink, Spells and Cinnamon Rolls.
