It’s a tangled web of intrigue and magic as Rowan and Ivy come face to face with some carefully concealed secrets. They’re going to have to work together if they expect to survive the murderer running free on The Bounding Storm.

It’s vacation time for Harper Harlow and her boyfriend Jared Monroe. They have big plans to head to northern Lower Michigan for a wine tasting event – which happens to be close to a small town called Shadow Lake – and they’re even taking Zander and Shawn along for the ride. In Shadow Lake, Ivy Morgan finds herself in a good mood. It’s officially the start of morel season (her favorite holiday) and she knows exactly how she’s going to spend the next three weeks of her life, much to her fiancé Jack Harker’s chagrin. Everything changes when the two groups meet in the woods – the whimsy of morel hunting too much for Harper’s group to turn away from – and they happen to stumble across a body. It seems a local woman, a party enthusiast with a bad reputation, was shot down in the middle of the forest and it appears someone is out there hunting people rather than animals or mushrooms … making for a very dangerous morel season.

Hannah Hickok has a lot on her mind. She’s engaged, with a wedding around the corner. She and her husband-to-be Cooper Wyatt are building a house near the cosplay western town she inherited from her late grandmother. And she’s gearing up for a fight with the witch who wants to steal her magic and kill her. All of that falls by the wayside when Hannah realizes that people are starting to develop magical crushes...and the outcome is ugly when the fighting begins.

The newly minted couple are in a good place, so when Jared asks Whisper Cove's favorite ghost hunter to go to Harsens Island to visit an old friend and his family, Harper jumps at the chance. Josh Stoker and Jared have a lot to catch up on, including the hard financial times the Stoker family is struggling to deal with. In an effort to keep their business empire afloat, the Stokers have turned their ancestral family home into an inn, and this week they just happen to be hosting a murder mystery event.

It’s been years since Ivy Morgan, Harper Harlow, Maddie Graves, and Rowan Gray married the loves of their lives and decided to settle down. Since that time, they’ve joined together to form a fearsome magical quartet. The plan was to stand with one another. Now that plan is being put to the test. While out morel hunting with her brother, daughter, and nephews, Ivy stumbles across a body, a ritual dagger causing her to fear they’re dealing with something more dangerous than a normal human. Right away, she calls for reinforcements from her magical friends…and they come running.

Zombies in Casper Creek? Say it ain’t so. Unfortunately, it looks to be true...and Hannah Hickok and her motley crew of helpers have a mess on their hands. As Cooper Wyatt struggles with the perfect way to propose, his girlfriend is buried in zombie lore...and seemingly having a good time digging up solutions. The bodies are rising from two different cemeteries, one so old it hasn’t seen a new resident in 30 years. Why, though?

Jack Harker says the honeymoon will never be over, but it’s back to reality for him and his wife Ivy. Unfortunately for them, that means murder is on the menu...and this newest body is dropped in Ivy’s nursery parking lot. Jack is a mess when he realizes a sniper took out a local woman. Ivy, although shocked because it happened right in front of her eyes, is also intrigued. When the duo starts digging, they find themselves drawn into an ugly underworld that’s happening right under their noses.

Ivy Morgan was convinced she was heading toward a smooth future, until she was arrested and charged with criminal trespass. Sure, she was saving a woman from certain death at the time, but in order for the criminal case to hold up against a murderer, she has to face the music. Fear is the one thing Ivy hates more than anything else, so in order to make herself feel better, she decides to fix her Aunt Felicity’s love life. That includes tracking down an old love...who just so happens to have set up shop one town over.

Ivy Morgan is getting married, which means she needs a dress. Now that she’s finally embraced the idea of planning for the wedding (rather than just enjoying the marriage and honeymoon), she’s gung-ho to check things off her list. The local dressmaker Zelda Morris has just the thing for Ivy. Before she can show it to her, though, she’s murdered in the back of her own store while Ivy waits for her to return to the storefront. Unfortunately for Ivy, because she didn’t hear a thing, that makes her a suspect.

For years, Rowan Gray has been searching for answers. She’s finally going to get them. The group of people haunting her, the society that ripped her family apart, are due to arrive on the bounding storm...and nobody believes their goals are altruistic. That’s only proven true when death visits the bounding storm in their wake, leaving a mountain of questions and not enough answers. Who are these people? What do they want?

Her father may be back in her life but things are hardly smooth sailing for Rowan Gray. He faked his death to get away from a group of people investigating psychic abilities - a group he is convinced is still out to get him - and he’s positive the group want his daughter for the same nefarious reasons. Rowan is simply happy to have him in her life. She gets to spend time with him and her uncle and plot for a future they might never have.

Ivy Morgan and Jack Harker don’t have many complaints. Things are good, life is quiet, and the only big thing on their to-do lists is picking a date for their wedding. Which is exactly what they’re doing when a local celebutante approaches with an offer for Jack to be on a dating show. He turns her down flat and goes on his way, but the next morning, she’s found dead and the list of suspects is endless thanks to the production landing smackdab in the middle of Shadow Lake.

Ten years ago, Rowan Gray’s father didn’t return from a routine day at work. The police believed he accidentally drove into a nearby lake thanks to inclement weather, but no sign of him or the car he was driving was ever found. Now, Rowan Gray is a photographer on a cruise ship. She’s in love with the head of security Quinn Davenport, and living a life she never thought possible. Things are going well…and her father is back. Paul Gray is going by another name but he’s a guest on The Bounding Storm, which happens to be hosting a group of authors from across the world.

Rowan Gray has a lot on her mind. Between her uncle dropping a bomb about the father she believed dead actually being alive and a mountain of feuding cheerleaders descending on The Bounding Storm, Rowan can’t quite seem to get a handle on her emotions. She has a job to do and opts to focus on that rather than her missing uncle - which is the professional thing, of course - but her mind is a busy place to visit. When the infamous omen pops up, it seems one of the warring cheer coaches is in trouble. Rowan dedicates herself to finding who might have murder on the mind.

It’s the most magical time of the year... for Harper and Zander, that is. Not Christmas, mind you, but Halloween. That’s right, Whisper Cove’s favorite ghost-hunting duo are decking out their house for their favorite holiday - and they’re only mildly fighting while doing it. All that comes to a screeching halt when Harper notices her neighbor acting odd and realizes he’s dead... leaving nothing but a cranky ghost and a lot of questions behind.

Hannah Hickok is looking forward to her first Christmas in Casper Creek. She has plans for cookies, cuddles with her fiancé Cooper Wyatt, and a visit from Chris Kringle. Instead, the man who visits isn’t the one Hannah was inspecting. No, it’s her former fiancé Michael…and he’s arrived with an agenda. Michael has more attitude than brains, and he’s ready to make life difficult for Hannah…right up to the point where his new fiancée is killed and her body goes missing from the morgue.

Hannah Hickok and Cooper Wyatt are newly engaged, and ready to celebrate. Cooper just didn’t think the celebration would involve a hike to a long-abandoned boom town called Blackridge. He had something more romantic in mind. Despite that, he agrees, and believes the trip will be fine - right up until they stumble across a homeless man, warning them away from their destination. He's more than a ghost. He’s more than a shadow. He’s a monster who can straddle two worlds. And he needs Hannah to lift the curse that has kept him trapped for a century.

Ivy Morgan-Harker has everything she’s ever wanted, including a devoted new husband and an upcoming break from her nursery business for the Michigan winter. Then the unthinkable happens. Upon arriving at Morgan Nursery early one morning, she finds a body strung up in the middle of her happy sanctum...and there’s a message attached telling her that she’s next. The victim is the son of a well-known bar owner, a bar that Ivy helped bring down when she broke up a local prostitution ring.

Now that she’s absorbed the power of the Casper Creek nexus, Hannah Hickok is a witch on a mission. Her new powers require regular venting, and she’s surpassed even her limited expectations. It’s not magic on her mind when her father comes for a visit, though. Brad Hickok has always wanted to see Casper Creek, and now that he gets to visit, he’s extremely excited. He’s not alone, though. He’s brought his new girlfriend...and Hannah is thrown for a loop by her appearance.

Jared Monroe decided to surprise his new wife with a honeymoon in Salem, Massachusetts. The goal was to have fun, bask in the sun, and eat some good seafood. The fact that there’s a ghost hunting conference happening at the same time is just added icing on the cupcake of life. Then the unthinkable happens, and Harper’s best friend Zander Pritchett magically shows up for the conference...and decides to hijack their honeymoon. Jared might be able to put up with Zander, but when a missing girl and several ghosts rile up the atmosphere, things threaten to spiral out of control.
