With the Key in the Office: A Cozy Fantasy

by Lia Davis, L.A. Boruff, Lacey Carter

At Godmother Academy, Cendi has finally cleared her name for the second time, but her victory is short-lived.

When a mischievous ghost impersonates Cendi to steal a legendary key that unlocks any lock, chaos ensues. Cendi feels an unexplainable connection to this ghost, a bond that puzzles her as much as it threatens her safety.

With her loyal friend Jessie by her side and Robbie stepping up to help, Cendi must unravel the mystery behind the ghost's motives before it’s too late.

As they navigate the enchanting yet treacherous halls of the academy, Cendi races against time to reclaim her identity and stop a dangerous heist, all while trying to uncover the truth about her unexpected connection to the spirit. This time, the stakes are higher, and the academy’s faith in her hangs by a thread. Will Cendi be able to save herself and those she loves, or will she lose everything once more?

Good book. Reappearance of Drew & Ava; like their scenes & those of Cendi's cats Tilly & Simon. There's also a minor reappearance of Luci.
Another short book & apparently the end of this series/trilogy, disappointing. I thought there would be more but apparently not.
