Life was great until a man turned up dead at her favorite bakery. Now, she has nowhere to satisfy her sweet tooth and a cupcake might be the culprit! The local police are getting nowhere. Nova has no choice but to dust off her cauldron and solve the case. With her brave dog by her side, Nova is willing to risk it all to reopen the Bewitching Bakery. Enjoy the first book in the Witchy Bakery series! 

Pie witch Reese is living her dream: running the bakery she’s always wanted, selling magical pies, and landing a date with handsome Prince Forrest of the Autumn Court. But then people around her start vanishing, returning hours or days later with no memory of their missing time. When her delivery boy is the next victim, Reese sets aside her pies, determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. But her prince is just as determined to keep her out of harm’s way, keeping her in the dark and even pushing her out of his own investigation. Then the disappearances accelerate, hitting closer to home and leaving her with little choice but to get involved. Can Reese bake up a plan to save the town? Or will she be the next to disappear? Vanilla Bean Vampire is the first in the Pie-Jinks series, a contemporary fantasy that is perfect for fans of Gilmore Girls and Practical Magic. If you like light, small-town stories, whimsical magic, and a touch of both romance and high-stakes mystery, you will love Selina J. Eckert’s book! This book takes place after the events of Pumpkin Spice Pie-Jinks in the Seasons of Magic: Pumpkins & Shades series, but Vanilla Bean Vampire can be read as a standalone. You do not need to read the novella to enjoy this series.
