Why Read This?

K.A. Bower crafts a world where the building has feelings, the cats have judgment, and the plant god's assistant has thorns and a soft spot for a sparkly witch. It is cozy, spicy, and genuinely funny murder mystery wrapped in lush paranormal romance.

Synopsis

Goldie Flynn—witch, librarian, and professional sparkle enthusiast—has enough on her plate between her coven, her on-again-off-again boyfriend, festival planning, and life in a sentient apartment building. But when a powerful bureaucrat turns up dead at the Green Holdings, Goldie is dragged into a mystery rooted in very old magic. Splice, the assistant to an ancient god, is unraveling. The Thornfather has been awake for too long, and the land is stirring in dangerous ways. Worse, a copper-haired witch keeps getting under his bark and into his thoughts. She shouldn’t matter. But she does. When their paths collide, Goldie and Splice are pulled together by circumstance… and something far more dangerous. What begins as reluctant cooperation twists into fascination, obsession, and a slow-burn spark neither of them is equipped to handle. Welcome back to Greymarket Towers, where the apartments have opinions, the cats judge your life choices, and love is just another kind of magic. Perfect for fans of cozy magical mysteries, lush urban fantasy, slow-burn monster romance, and cryptids with feelings.
