Donuts and Dysfunction

A Beige Witch influencer turns up dead in Hazel's donut cart. It's giving frame job.

Hazel's spent her whole life smoothing things over, keeping the peace, putting everyone else first. This summer, she's finally choosing herself — a thriving donut cart, real confidence in her magic, and Elliot, the crow-shifter cop who's never once needed her to shrink to fit his life. Then a murder sends Blue Moon Bay into a frenzy, and mounting evidence points to Hazel's sister, Bea.

The family's golden child, dutiful and Pinterest-perfect, Bea's clashed with Hazel their whole lives. Still, Hazel doesn't believe for a second that Bea's a killer. But clearing Bea's name means digging into the one thing Hazel's always avoided: her family's dysfunction.

Bea isn't the only one keeping secrets. Mother's frenemy, the new witch in town, is hiding something of her own. And with Britt's and Max's love lives falling apart around her, Hazel starts to wonder if happy endings are even real — especially as a shifter-family picnic, of all things, turns into the first real fight of her and Elliot's relationship.

With murder, magic, and old family wounds rising to the surface, Hazel will need her power, her people, and the courage to stop people-pleasing her way through danger. Can Hazel clear her sister's name before Blue Moon Bay's magic and secrets boil over?
