The Caretaker
Dusty Hotte must be cursed. First she lost her job then her house caught fire. On the same day. There are worse things than starting over at fifty, right? But when someone threatens her granddaughter’s life, enough is enough. Seeking protection, they move to Dusty’s enchanted family farm - filled with elderly witches whose magic has gone a bit wonky, a horde of familiars, and a couple ghosts - in the safe town of Blackwood Grove, Wisconsin, where nothing can harm them. Or so she thought. Minutes after they arrive, a man is found dead in the family diner, and her cousin is wrongfully accused of murder. Things like this don't happen here. Ever. So did Dusty bring the curse with her, or is something more sinister at play? To find out, she must clear her cousin’s name and uncover the real killer, even if it means performing magic, something she swore she’d never do again.
