Aunt Lucywas annoyed that she didn’t get to be involved in the final takedown, and made sure we knew it when we went to eat dinner the following night at Aunt Debbie’s place, with none of us wanting to cook after a long day at the coffee shop.
“I can’t believe you didn’t invite me along,” she said, shaking her head. “Do you know how useful I am in these types of situations?”
“You would have broken a hip jumping through the skylight,” Leanne protested. “We couldn’t bring you.”
“Be careful, I can and will hex you,” Aunt Lucy replied, pulling out her wand and waving it threateningly at Leanne.
“It wasn’t supposed to be an adventure anyway,” I said. “We were just supposed to go in, find proof Gary had done it, and get out. And we found the proof. It was good thinking by you to forward it on to Ross. That way, no matter what happened to us, he still would have found the killer.”
“I’ve seen way too many TV shows where people sit on information and it ends up biting them in the rear,” Leanne replied. “I wasn’t about to let that happen to us. By the way… Ross?”
“Yeah, well, I can’t really call him Detective Andrews anymore, can I?” I muttered, embarrassed.
“Oooh, yes, less than twenty-four hours before the big date,” Kaillie grinned. “Are you excited?”
“I’m excited to stop talking about it right now,” I said.
“Someone’s testy,” Aunt Lucy said, helping herself to another pork chop.
“Well I think it’s nice that Eliza is settling in so well here,” Aunt Debbie added. “And you should leave her and her private life alone.”
“Yeah,” I said, glaring at the others.
“That said, I do wish you’d all be more careful. You’re my nieces, and I don’t want to see you in danger, and yet that’s exactly what happened the other day.”
“Again, we were breaking and entering, we didn’t expect to face off against a killer,” Leanne sighed, exasperated.
“Well, next time you’re committing a crime – even if it’s just a misdemeanor – I want an invite,” Aunt Lucy said.
“No, she doesn’t,” Aunt Debbie said, glaring at her sister. “Especially because there isn’t going to be a next time. You girls are going to stay on the right side of the law, right?”
“Of course we are,” Kaillie said, nodding enthusiastically. “You can count on us, Mom.”
I smiled as I looked around the table. These people were my family, and I couldn’t be happier. I was getting used to life here on Enchanted Enclave, and I couldn’t wait to see what the future had in store for me.
Book 3: A Witch, Dark Roast: When another body pops up at a new construction site in Enchanted Enclave, Eliza doesn't want to have anything to do with the investigation. After all, she's had a few close calls, and Detective Andrews warned her not to get involved in police matters in the future.
However, as more information comes out, there seems to be something strange afoot. When it becomes obvious that there's a paranormal hiding in their midst, Eliza and her cousins decide they need to get involved, not only for justice sake, but to keep the residents of Enchanted Enclave safe. But being so isolated from the paranormal world, they find themselves at a disadvantage.
Between finding the killer, trying to figure out why Aunt Lucy has been acting so secretive and dealing with some chaos at the coffee shop, Eliza has a lot of balls in the air. Will she be able to solve all of her problems before everything comes crashing down around her?
