Wedding Day Brews
by Bella Colby
A Wedding Witch Cozy Mystery – Prequel
Bad enough she didn’t get the job, but when she finds the successful candidate dead, can this witch-in-hiding clear her name without waving her wand?
Forced to return to her home soil, reluctant witch Skylar Blackwood is penniless, jobless and homeless in the sleepiest seaside town. Desperate for employment, she interviews for a wedding celebrant position, which is ironic for a woman who doesn’t believe in love. Skylar fails to get the job, but when she discovers her competition dead, she realises she could have bigger problems.
Despite constant nagging from Wolfie, her grey wolf magical protector, Skylar has refused to use magic since the love spell she cast on her teenage crush got her thrown out of her strict family coven years before. But as evidence against her grows, is Skylar finally up spell-creek without a wand?
With half the town having a motive for murder, proving she’s innocent, without using her powers, is mysteriously challenging.
Wedding Day Brews is the short story prequel to the Wedding Witch cozy mystery series.
If you like a confusing crime to clear up, a sleepy fishing town and a snarky sleuth with more secrets than you can curse a cauldron with, you’ll love Wedding Day Brews.
