Surprises aren’t Skye O’Malley’s favorite thing, but this gloomy February is full of them. Fix My Town, a reality renovation show, has set its sights on Skye’s little coffee shop — and won’t take her emphatic “no” for an answer. Worse, the producers are staying in the same rental that was the scene of a murder just a few months earlier.
A harbinger of things to come? Skye begins to wonder…especially when an apparition from the past blows into town. Alicia Petrucci, who abandoned Skye as a baby, is back to teach Skye the ways of Petrucci family magic.
Skye would like to throw her newly resurfaced mother out on her ear, but the temptation to strengthen her magic is hard to resist. With Alicia’s guidance, Skye’s true powers begin to emerge — along with the hope that she can build a relationship with the mother she never knew.
But when one of the show’s producers is murdered and Alicia is accused of the crime, Skye will need more than tea leaves and dreams to prove her innocence. She’ll need to move mountains...and outrun the real killer before she becomes the next victim.
