Book excerpt: Surprise scales. Death curses. Merman family drama. Just another day at the beach for our favorite fish-out-of-water witch. Frankie's idea of making waves? A bubble bath, not sprouting a tail bigger than her ego. But hey, who needs legs when you can breathe underwater, right? Just as she's getting used to her new sushi-adjacent lifestyle, Zane drops a bombshell—or rather, a cursed seashell. Note to self: Maybe don't pick up shiny, death-infused objects from the ocean floor. Oops. Cue floating corpses, because why have a relaxing swim when you can have a murder mystery? With Zane potentially next on the chopping block, Frankie's diving headfirst into danger. Destination? Zane's Mediterranean home turf. The catch? His family's expecting a pure-bred witch, not a magical mutt with more sass than sense. Oh, and did we mention the whole "might die horribly" thing? Mission impossible: Solve the murders, break the curse, and fool Zane's family into thinking she's witch royalty. All while trying not to become fish food. Will Frankie crack the case and win over her would-be in-laws? Or is she destined to sleep with the fishes—literally? Dive in, little minnow. Normal's for landlubbers, and Frankie's about to make waves like never before. If you love a paranormal cozy series with a kick ass witch who can take care of business even without her magic, then welcome to the Marina Witches Mysteries. Perfect for fans of Misty Bane, Amanda M. Lee, and Lily Harper Hart, as well as Dionne Lister, Morgana Best, and Jane Hinchey. Join Frankie and Dex as they take on dark forces and injustice along with Frankie's hot, but equally mysterious, neighbor. With Zane around, the main danger is to Frankie's heart.
