Book’s Spotlight Post
Coming Soon

Landing the leading role could be a deadly mistake for one town favourite.

Hollywood heartthrob Elliott Malone is back in Saltwater Cove to direct the Shakespearean classic, Macbeth. But as rehearsals begin, the infamous curse of the play strikes and begins to weave its dark magic. The line between reality and superstition blurs, and it soon becomes apparent magic and danger lurk in the shadows.

Harriet’s on cloud nine when her flair for the dramatic lands her the classic role of Lady Macbeth, not to mention Elliott’s heart. Yet, as mysterious accidents plague the production, tensions reach boiling point when Elliott narrowly escapes death. It becomes clear that something wicked this way comes. Is it the curse, or is someone casting spells to sabotage the show and get rid of him for good?

With opening night fast approaching, the mystery unravels, and Evelyn, with the help of her trusted friends, must uncover the truth and save Elliott before the curse claims its next victim. Can they break the spell, or will Saltwater Cove become the stage for a real-life witch hunt?

If you like witty witches, talking cats, and magical murder mysteries, then step into the fun and flirty romantic paranormal cozy mystery world of the Melting Pot Café series where the spells are flowing, and the adventure is sure to leave you craving more.
