The Lane women are bibliomancers, but Cassie sees her divination not as a gift, but as a curse--one from which she desperately wants to escape. It turns out, though, that running from her fate isn’t as easy as she thought it would be. When a woman goes missing, and a neighbor turns up dead, Cassie turns to the books she’s always avoided to help her find the truth.
“A magical blend of books, mystery, and smart sleuthing, Melissa
Bourbon’s Murder in Devil’s Cove offers mystery readers everything they
crave and stands out in the crowded cozy genre. This captivating new
series will leave readers spellbound.”
-NYT and USA bestselling author, Ellery Adams
Every book tells two stories—one written on the pages with pen and ink,
and one woven into the paper, a story of the soul. The Lane women have
the gift of bibliomancy. They can read both.
But Cassie Lane
doesn’t see this as a gift. For her, it is a curse because the book
magic comes with a price--the Lane women die young and the men are lost
to the sea. As soon as she’s able, she leaves Laurel Point, Oregon,
running from her past and her fate, ending up on the Outer Banks of
North Carolina. There she meets Leo Hawthorne and lives a perfect life
with him in an old Sea Captain’s house.
Perfect, that is, until an old book foretells the future, and the curse that has plagued the Lane women comes true for Cassie.
Twenty
years later, Cassie and Leo's children, twins Pippin and Grey, are back
in Devil's Cove. Long forgotten secrets surface and an old crime comes
to light. Now Pippin must learn how to be a bibliomancer if she is to
discover the truth about her father and continue his effort to stop the
curse.
Two best-selling authors, one magical universe.
In
the Book Magic Mystery Series, best-selling authors Melissa Bourbon and
Wendy Lyn Watson bring you the story of cousins Pippin Lane Hawthorne
and Cora Lane. The cousins live on opposite coasts (Pippin in Devil’s
Cove, North Carolina, and Cora in Laurel Point, Oregon), but they share
the family gift of bibliomancy: the ability to foresee the future and
unravel the past with the help of the books we love. Join Pippin and
Cora as they use their otherworldly power to solve mysteries in their
respective worlds.
