Magical Misfit Murders

Release Date: July 8, 2026

Main Characters: Declan and Gideon

Hexes, hops, and a whole lot of trouble. Welcome back to Ravenstone!

Declan is finally starting to settle into life as a witch in a magical little town where the coffee is strong, the misfit monsters are delightfully odd, and there’s always something interesting happening.

Like the Get Hopped Up Beer Festival.

Between sampling new brews, spending time with his very protective (and very handsome) wolf shifter boyfriend, and making plans to open a bakery, Declan is having the time of his life… until a brewmaster turns up dead in a vat of beer.

Since, apparently, that’s just how things go in Ravenstone.

Declan and Gideon don’t mean to get involved, but with rumors being shared faster than a sourdough starter and whispers of magic and hexes floating through town, staying out of trouble was never really an option.

Because in a small town, someone always has a secret.

And this time? It’s deadly.

Tags: MM paranormal romance, cozy mystery vibes with a bit of heat, a newbie witch who is trying to figure out this whole magic thing, an alpha who still doesn’t have his wolf, more misfit monster shenanigans, supernatural small town, low angst, buckets of coffee (and a few pints of beer), hexes everywhere, and (accidentally) a big ol’ batch of truth muffins!

Magic, murder, and a whole lot of coffee—welcome to Ravenstone!

Declan Hawthorne is just your average caffeine-addicted guy—until a visit to his grandfather reveals: magic is real, witches exist, and apparently, Declan’s one of them.

Now he’s getting to know Ravenstone, a supernatural small town where the coffee is strong, the monsters are quirky, and someone just murdered a vampire at the first annual Magic Festival.

His ally? Gideon Blackwood—a gorgeous wolf shifter who can’t shift but still manages to growl in all the right ways. He knows he can’t be Alpha, but that doesn’t stop him from protecting everyone else… including one reckless new witch who doesn’t know when to quit.

Between magical cookies and cakes, a bunch of meddling misfit monsters, and a lot of spilled coffee, Declan and Gideon have their hands full. But if they want to catch a killer—and maybe fall a little in love—they’ll have to trust their instincts and maybe their magic.

Because in Ravenstone, coffee solves most problems. The rest? Magic and a hot wolf usually do the trick.
