Ex marks the murder scene…or does it? New relationships can be fraught with emotional missteps. Charity Hughes’s awkward encounter with Shelby Howard, Noah Jenkins’s ex, at his front door certainly qualifies, but as they’re clearing up that sort-of-minor misunderstanding, a new challenge enters Charity’s shop. A witch’s cat familiar pining for the impossible — kittens of her own. The kitty conundrum takes a back seat when a frantic Shelby calls with a rather pointed problem. An ex-fiancé dead on her living room floor, run through with an antique sword. Now the prime suspect, Shelby begs Charity for help to prove her innocence. There’s just one problem. Using magic to solve the case risks outing her as a witch to the public...including Noah. But Charity brings all her somewhat-inconsistent abilities to bear in the investigation, even calling on Milo, the spaniel familiar, to nose around. But it’s the Tarot that cuts through the static toward a culprit who's definitely not an ex-anything. It's someone who opens a whole new kit and caboodle of lies. Note: Cauldrons and Cats is Book 2 in USA Today bestselling author Christine Pope’s “Familiar Spirits” series. Contains a cat familiar with mommy fever, a doggo familiar pining for his feline friend, and a killer who does it old school — up close and personal.

Grimassi has written extensively about Wicca, and Llewellyn specializes in books sympathetic to occult ways, so the combination is pretty predictable. He describes not only the usual magic practices, but also the religious and spiritual aspects of what believers say is inherited ancient European wisdom and scoffers say is made-up, new-age nonsense.

The world is full of amazing animals, but some “facts” about them often seem too strange to be true. Do goldfish really have short memories? Is cow flatulence really ruining the ozone layer? This book takes a magnifying glass to some of the wildest things people say about animals to find the truth behind the exaggerations, misunderstandings, or even lies we accidentally spread as fact. Fact boxes throughout the book help readers separate the facts from fiction, and entertaining cartoons and illustrations add to the animal fun.

Winged twins, Catherine and Connor Manchester, are the magical children of Penelope Manchester and St. Michael the Archangel. At the age of five, the fairies prophesize that the twins’ soul mates are also twins which haven’t been born yet. On a mission from God, Michael takes the twins to vanquish the demon Anti Anima Mate. This demon gains powers by killing one of a soul mate pair, while leaving the surviving mate to suffer tragic loss. But this demon escapes. On Catherine’s and Connor’s 16th birthday, all Manchester Covens worldwide meet at Castle Garrison in Scotland to celebrate the coming of magical age for the first Manchester twins to be born in four hundred years. Starting with the Elders, each Manchester presents the twins with a gift. The most important gift was the Zirconium Cauldron. Resembling a giant, hollowed-out diamond, this cauldron can only be yielded by twins to amplify their already tremendous powers even more. But more important than the Zirconium Cauldron, the magical twins meet their soul mates—Lilly and Grier Manchester Garrison. These distant cousins, also twins, are only eleven years old. They vow to meet again in ten years when they are old enough to court. Ten years later, both pairs of soul mates reunite. But before they can fulfill the prophecy, they must battle the demon Anti Anima Mate and the evil Chimera sorcerer who wishes to absorb their twin powers. Zirconium Cauldron is full of magical creatures, angels, demons, fairies, and even a dragon. Will fate prevail and bring two pairs of soul mates together?
