SENSIBLE SPELLS

A Cozy Urban Fantasy Adventure of Witches, Magical Mysteries, and Family Secrets

🔮 The magic is getting stranger. The water won't stop rising. And the truth about her family could cost Missy everything.

Missy Due thought inheriting a magical hotel was complicated enough.

Between running the Dusty Rose Hotel & Curio Shoppe, managing a ghost with strong opinions, keeping an eye on one suspiciously clever cat, and learning to control the witchcraft her mother sealed away twenty years ago, she already has more than enough on her plate.

But something is wrong with the hotel.

A mysterious bowl keeps filling with salt water. The pipes hum the sound of the ocean. Cracks spread through the building, and strange magic begins reaching into places it has no business being.

Then Missy discovers a hidden journal written by her mother—and learns that the history of Due, California, is far darker than anyone has admitted.

More than a century ago, a witch named Ada made a bargain with something beneath the desert. That bargain created a door, and generation after generation of witches have been forced to pay its price.

Now the shadow is stirring again.

And it knows Missy's name.

When her estranged mother suddenly returns to Due, Missy finally learns why she was taken away as a teenager, why her magic was sealed, and what her family has been running from for twenty years. But the revelations come with a terrible cost: her beloved great-aunt Clementine is trapped on the other side of the door, slowly fading away.

The shadow offers Missy a way to bring Clementine back.

All it wants is a few pages from the magical book keeping it contained.

What could possibly go wrong?

With the help of her eccentric small-town friends, a resourceful local witch, a ghostly hotel resident, and a cat who knows far more than he lets on, Missy must uncover the truth behind an ancient magical bargain and find a way to save Clementine without sacrificing herself—or unleashing something neither witches nor magic can easily control.

Because some doors aren't meant to be locked forever.

And some family secrets are worth risking everything to uncover.
