Jo Wiley has built a comfortable, quirky life in Ljubljana — she runs a teahouse, surrounds herself with friends, and keeps life relatively low-key. But when a body turns up at a glitzy party and one of her lovers is murdered, everything shatters. Jo discovers she has a latent ability to communicate with the dead — ghosts, demons, and ancient gods — and finds herself as the crucial link between the living and the departed. As more friends begin dying, Jo realizes she may be the cause. To survive and bring peace to the restless spirits, she must unravel the mystery — and fast.

Ash Holland — known as “the Ink Master” — is from a long line of monster-hunters, but her real job is as a librarian. She’s more than a little inept at witchcraft. When she accidentally summons a demon — not just any demon, but an actual Prince of Hell named Chaos — she traps it in her head. Now Ash has two weeks to exorcise Chaos — or he’ll take over entirely, and she’ll be gone. Perfect timing, too: a full-scale monster uprising is about to hit Salem. With demons, snarky witches, and magic run amok, Ash must navigate her chaotic new reality — if she doesn’t lose herself first.
Of Murders and Mages / Nikki Haverstock / Casino Witch Mysteries (Book 1)
This author has multiple Urban Fantasy series!
Free on Amazon, Free with Kobo Plus, Free on Google books
Ella’s life just got a whole lot crazier. She’s landed a job at a casino — which would be challenging enough — but now she’s discovered she’s a witch. On top of that, a cranky coworker, a mischievous cat familiar, and a magical ability to read the “emotional hologram” of a magical death all complicate her already messy new reality. Then five dead bodies show up — each with magical death signatures — and Ella finds herself pulled into an absurd, chaotic investigation. Between magical chocolate cake, a topless burlesque show, jealous lovers, gamblers, and the threat that she might be next, Ella must juggle her fledgling mage abilities, a strange cat, and murder — all while trying not to set herself (or others) on fire. It’s paranormal cozy mystery with heart, humor, and plenty of magic.
I hope one of these authors becomes a new favorite for you. I wish you a series that you love and devour. I wish you mythical creatures and wild magics!
