Toil & Trouble (Magic Island #5)

Book your ticket to Magic Island, where the potions are brewed fresh daily, the beaches are perfect for creature-watching, and the fangs and fur are on full display.Long-buried secrets about the family she's never known have come to light, leaving novice witch Wren Winters reeling. Trying to keep herself from having a nervous breakdown is no easy task, especially when she also has to contend with a duct-taped wand, a boyfriend with more than one skeleton in his closet, a close friend who's chosen the strangest of bedfellows... and a powerful wizard who refuses to admit to the truth. When an innocent gnome is thrown in jail for a murder he didn't commit, Wren is grateful for the distraction, and immediately throws herself head-first into the investigation. Between attending a self-defense class for small magical creatures, going on a nighttime broomstick tour of the island, and visiting a gloomy forest where rogue werewolves roam, she has plenty to keep her occupied. But as she closes in on the killer, Wren is forced to face an uncomfortable truth.Sometimes things-and people-are not what they appear to be. Author's Note: Each book includes a self-contained mystery, but there are longer, ongoing subplots that continue throughout the series.
