Eine Eule in Ruhe

Ein Wellness-Retreat für magisch Erschöpfte. Ein Guru, der in einem Isolationstank treibt. Ein „entspannendes“ Wochenende, das alles andere als Zen ist.

Nachdem sie gegen einen Elfen um die Seele ihrer Schwester gekämpft hat, ist Astra Arden bereit für ein Nickerchen. Ihre Schwester Althea, frisch zurück aus einer dimensionalen Entführung, braucht dringend Erholung. Die Lösung? Ein Mädelswochenende in Serenity Springs. Es erwarten sie Lavendelnebel, Kristallgitter und Stille ... bis diese Stille durch einen Schrei zerrissen wird.

Als der charismatische Guru des Retreats mit dem Gesicht nach unten in einem Isolationstank treibend gefunden wird, ist die „Kein Stress“-Politik offiziell hinfällig. Gefangen hinter Schutzzaubern, die ihre Magie dämpfen, um „tiefe Heilung“ zu gewährleisten, müssen Astra und ihre Schwestern ohne ihre üblichen Kräfte einen Mörder unter den Zen-besessenen Gästen entlarven.

Während Lothian versucht, verbotenes Koffein einzuschmuggeln, und Archie einen Revierkampf mit dem Pfau-Maskottchen des Retreats austrägt, muss Astra die Wahrheit ans Licht bringen, bevor aus ihrem entspannten Kurztrip ein Urlaub für die Ewigkeit wird.

Bemoeizucht en Toverkracht

Wanneer heks Astra Arden en haar beste vriendin rechercheur Emma Sullivan worden gestuurd om een reeks brandstichtingszaken te onderzoeken in de wereldhoofdstad van de paragnosten, krijgen ze meer dan waar ze op hadden gerekend.

Met Halloween-toeristen die de plek overspoelen, spookachtige bewoners van het beroemde spookstadje die verdwijnen, en huizen langs Main Street die in rook opgaan, stond er nog nooit zoveel op het spel.

Hangt er een samenzwering door de huizen van Cassandra als een giftige wierook? Of zit het gewoon vol met super rare mensen die hun hoofd uit de salie-rook moeten halen?
