The Grimoire Girls. Midlife Magic in Moondip, #1

Magic got them into this mess. Now it's their only way out.Layney's life looks perfectly respectable - solid marriage, sensible routine and a teenage daughter who mostly behaves. Until she doesn't. When her daughter's personality shifts overnight and long-buried memories begin to surface, Layney realises her life isn't quite what she thought it was. Years ago, her gran cast a spell to keep them safe.
Now it's wearing off. After one argument too many, Layney heads for Scotland - drawn back to the remote Isle of Whye, where her past may hold the answers. But on arrival, she's met with unsettling news: her gran has died, leaving her a crumbling bookshop in a village that doesn't officially exist. And a murder no one seems keen to explain. As Layney begins to piece together what's real - and what isn't - she's forced to confront old choices, new dangers and the inconvenient return of a man she never quite forgot.with occasional and highly questionable assistance from a sharp-tongued talking cat.
A witty mystery of magic, secrets and second chances.
