The Halloween Haunting
Updated at Jan 19, 2022, 14:39
Magical mind control Lina accidentally gave a batch of her fudge an extra wallop. Anyone who eats it becomes suggestable. Very suggestable. Is it mind control? First a nun robs a liquor store, then a kindergarten teacher punches a pedestrian. The International Criminal Witch Police are certain Lina’s fudge is to blame. When a third crime demonstrates an escalating pattern of violence, Lina is terrified a fourth offense will end with murder. Does the mastermind behind the crimes have a twisted sense of humor, or is there a more sinister connection behind the crimes? Join Lina as she cleans up the last (she hopes!) of her cursed candy messes and tracks down a potential killer.

Elvis is alive! Except he’s gone missing. And he’s not exactly Elvis. And perhaps he’s not exactly alive. But the man with a personal connection to the King and currently known as Patrick is definitely missing. Mallory won’t let the confusing nature of Patrick’s background stop her from investigating, not when there’s a mystery to solve. And who better to crack a case involving the weird and wondrous than the best (and hungriest) sleuthing vamp around? If she can just keep the mundane police in the dark and her budding romantic feelings for her partner under wraps, then she might have a shot at finding Elvis…Patrick, Patrick-Elvis.

The Selection Shenanigans
Updated at Jan 19, 2022, 14:38
Fairy farts and dragon tears Not everything sparkles like it should, or so Mallory is beginning to suspect. Fairy godmothers should be all about light and love, not rule-breaking and political intrigue. And dragons? Since when are dragons real? And who thought that was a good secret to keep from everyone’s favorite vegan vampire? Mallory ditches a few more magical misconceptions as she, Alex, and her crew hunt down a murderer and try to save the Society’s mayoral selection (not election) from imploding.
