A Hazel Thorne Paranormal Cozy Mystery with Magic, Murder & a Psychic Cat
I thought judging a baking contest would be simple taste the pastries, smile at the crowd, sip my tea. But Ashwick has a way of turning even the sweetest traditions into something strange… and deadly.
It started with a dusty old cookbook a relic pulled from the back of the library archives just in time for the Harvest Festival. The pages shimmered when no one was looking, and the recipes? They didn’t just call for sugar and spice, but for intention. Heart. Greed. Guilt. Bake the wrong way… and you’d get more than a soggy bottom.
When a contestant drops dead mid-competition, all eyes turn to the tent. My psychic cat Whiskers senses something off the magic lingers, and it’s hungry. Suddenly, I’m knee-deep in cursed crusts, cryptic messages hidden between the margins, and townsfolk with more secrets than pie fillings.
Officer Finn, ever the skeptic, is trying to keep things under control. But this time, even he can’t explain away the glowing runes, disappearing ingredients, or the recipe that rewrites itself. Together, we must sift through gossip, ghostly whispers, and family feuds to uncover who or what is behind the cookbook’s curse.
The ovens are hot. The stakes are higher. And in Ashwick, even a slice of pie might be the last thing you ever eat.
If you love magical mysteries, sassy cats, charming small towns, and a dash of danger with your dessert, you’ll devour The Cursed Cookbook.
Perfect for fans of paranormal cozy mysteries, enchanted recipes, and slow-burning suspense with heart. Thank you for reading The Cursed Cookbook. If you made it to the final page with Hazel, Whiskers, and a warm mug of something cozy in hand… then you’re part of Ashwick now. 🌙
