A GHOST’S GUIDE TO HAUNTING A WITCH (AND OTHER BAD DECISIONS) the spellbinding, cosy, BRAND NEW witchy romance. Perfect for spooky season (The Pepperday Witches Book 1)



πŸŽƒ Curl up with a pumpkin spiced latte and fall for the first book in a bewitching, new magical romance series! πŸŽƒ

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Every single thing was amazing. 100% must read for 2026!’

Augustine Pepperday has never fallen in love. Trust her heart to start with a ghost.

Augustine has spent her life being the
ordinary Pepperday witch.

Her sisters read the stars and make magic look effortless. Augustine runs a sage-scented little shop selling overpriced candles and salmon-flavoured healing tea for emotionally overwrought cats.

Then Theo walks through her door.

He’s gorgeous. He smells of cinnamon. And he looks at Augustine like she isn’t ordinary at all. As though she’s exactly who he’s been looking for.

He makes her laugh. He makes her heart race.

There’s just one problem.

Theo is dead. And he needs Augustine’s help to find out why.

The cards might hold the answer. If Augustine can figure out how to read them.

Every clue brings her closer to the truth . . . and closer to Theo.

But falling in love with a ghost is impossible.

Then again, so is a Pepperday witch with no magic.

What if Augustine has been wrong about both?

An autumn romance for anyone who loves pumpkin-lit high streets, their witches underestimated, and their ghosts unfairly attractive! Perfect for readers of The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating, Assistant to the Villain, Laurie Gilmore, Joss Wood, A. T. Qureshi, Ali Hazelwood, Lucy Jane Wood and for anyone who loves Practical Magic and BBC's Ghosts!

Book Review

A Ghost’s Guide to Haunting a Witch by Sharon Ibbotson 

This was SO MUCH FUN!!! πŸ˜­πŸ‚✨ A cute, cozy, whimsical and funny read that I completely devoured in ONE DAY because once I started, I genuinely didn’t want it to end! 

Honestly, this was the PERFECT book to welcome the autumn season.  It has magic, witches, ghosts, mystery and the kind of cozy atmosphere that makes you want to grab a blanket and disappear into the story.

Book Review : Beauty and the Biker

 

BEAUTY & THE BIKER: Beauty and the Biker: A Found Family MC Romance with an Alpha Enforcer, Cartel Danger & Touch-Her-and-Die Obsession



She ran from a cartel king. Now she belongs to a biker beast. πŸ”₯🏍️
She thought she could hide. He won’t let her.

Marianna crossed the border with nothing but scars, secrets, and a vow to never again fall under the thumb of a powerful man. Once the cartel boss’s “possession,” she’s now a ghost in the misty forests outside Seattle—cutting hair, trimming beards, and living off the grid, hoping her past never finds her.

But predators always hunt what they’ve lost.
And the cartel has found her scent.

Then Beast walks into her life.
The Iron Kings MC’s enforcer. Towering. Tattooed. Scarred. Every inch the monster she should fear. His hands are calloused, his voice a growl, his stare a promise. Mariana knows better than to trust a man like him… yet when he touches her, her body betrays her. His rough hands don’t bruise—
they brand her soul.

Now she’s trapped between two dangerous men—one who destroyed her, and one who might just save her. When the cartel closes in, the Iron Kings roar to war. And Beast will burn the world down to protect what’s his.

He’s the biker beast.
She’s the beauty who finally belongs to herself.
Together, they’re fire—and fire consumes everything.

If you crave dark passion, fierce brotherhood, and a heroine worth fighting for, Beauty & the Biker will set your heart racing and leave you breathless.

Left at the altar, but the real scandal is just beginning.

Seraphina Dalton isn’t crying over her runaway fiancΓ©—she has experiments to run. But the gossips’

tongues won't stop wagging, and her father’s patience has evaporated. Now, she has one month to

secure a match, or face a marriage that would end her love affair with science forever.

Enter Lord Trevor Wembley. He’s a man of few words and many plants, with a mind that moves as

fast as Seraphina’s own. He’s never been the hero of a ballroom, yet he’s the only one who sees the

brilliance behind Seraphina’s frivolous public persona.

A marriage of convenience is the perfect solution. But logic doesn’t explain the spark that ignites

whenever they’re together. Seraphina is used to solving problems, but it will take everything she has

to prove to Trevor that he’s more than just a convenient escape.

Synopsis

Leonie Hunt

I’ve loved Raphael in secret for as long as I can remember. And always believed he’d never love me back. He’s not only older and my brothers’ associate, but his vow of celibacy is notorious in the Underworld.

That’s okay. I am used to not being anyone’s first choice, dreaming of the impossible, and experiencing life through the lens of my camera.

Then an opportunity arises, and I move to Miami for three months to prepare for a gallery show featuring my photography.

I never imagined we’d get close.

I never imagined he’d give in.

I can’t help myself indulging.

But I have to end it. If my brothers find out, they will destroy him without hesitation.

Raphael Moreno

As the cartel boss, I lead a busy life with no time for distractions and no patience for anything else. The more I work, the less time I have to battle the demons that have haunted me my entire life. Then my associates ask me to guard their little sister, the task annoying me to no end. Of all the damn cities, it had to be mine.

She’s too sheltered.

Too pure.

Too damn young for a hardened man like me, but I can’t refuse.

She’s a princess caught in my dark lair, ripe to be devoured, taunting me to claim her.

The first day in, she gets hurt, and I spiral down a path of no return.

No woman has broken my iron will. Yet every second I spend in her vicinity, I crave more to the point of losing my damn sanity.

Wanting her is out of my control.

Having her is forbidden.

Keeping her will end me.

Not being able to stay away seals my fate. She's worth burning my empire down for.
