Hex at a House Party

Sometimes it takes a magic touch to solve a murder.
Twenty-six-year-old witch Alma may be a failed demon hunter, but she's never lacked magical ability-just an Incurable Inability to kill. Recovering from defending her small town from a recent supernatural attack, Alma has sworn off working for the Protectorate, the witch governing body, to devote herself to learning and teaching the old ways of magic-without hurting anyone.But soon she's drawn out of her cozy house in the redwoods to investigate a high-society witch at a week-long house party on the remote coast north of San Francisco. When the party turns deadly, she's forced to summon old powers and new, make allies she might not be able to trust, and face a shocking truth about her own identity. And maybe-if she can survive long enough-unmask a killer.
