Her life was finally sweet--until everything went hex-shaped. All Torie Bliss wanted was to throw a birthday party, hex a brownie recipe, and finally settle into her new life--with her besties by her side and a certain smoldering werewolf always showing up at just the right moment. But when Singing Falls' beloved mayor turns up dead--and Torie's name gets tangled with the investigation--her plans go straight out the window. Add nosy houseguests, a string of spell disasters, and a creeping darkness no one can explain, and her peaceful new chapter quickly spirals into magical chaos. She might still be figuring out the whole late-blooming witch thing, but Torie's not about to let her town fall apart--not while she still has friends to protect, mysteries to solve, and just enough hex left to raise hell if she has to. Welcome to Hex and Chocolate--a witchy urban fantasy full of sharp spells, fierce friendships, and midlife magic that bites back.
