Serpent's Kiss

An ancient restriction has been lifted and Joanna, Freya, and Ingrid are free to practice magic in the sleepy town of North Hampton. Freya transforms the local tavern with pop-up drinks and special effects, while her sister Ingrid offers special "counseling services" on her lunch hour at the public library. Joanna, like most mothers, worries after her daughters and spends her spare time baking—and decoding cryptic messages from the dead. Freya's twin brother Fryr has escaped Limbo and is hiding in a local hotel. He's now claiming to be innocent of a long-ago crime. Freya will keep his location secret, but his accusations make her doubt the man closest to her heart. Ingrid wrestles with her feelings for police detective Matt Noble, and Joanna juggles a new romantic interest even as her affection for her estranged husband is rekindled. As the romance heats up, so does the mystery—and the danger.
