Book 1:

When the 23-year-old witch arrives in California, a man gets shot during the parade on the 4th of July. Somehow, she gets involved in the investigation. She assures her cat Shadow that her relationship with Detective Colvin is purely professional, but at the same time, she isn’t certain whether or not the single father is interested in more than friendship.

Meanwhile, the two interrogate family, friends, employees, and suspicious individuals that may lead them to the discovery of the perpetrator. From hoarding ex-wives to disgruntled hotel workers, the investigation is a puzzle to solve.

As she sets up her little shop with spices and potions, searches for valuable gems in zoos, and flies on her mop to beach volleyball tournaments, Cammy keeps her magical powers to herself as much as possible. However, when their research leads to a dead end, she finds herself in an awkward dilemma: Should she use magic to uncover the truth and catch the murderer? Or should she avoid the risk of revealing what she really is?

Book 2:

Cammy, a young witch, has had enough of it. After a disappointing disaster date on the beach with a guy she actually liked, she decides to leave her little Californian town and temporarily head for the mountains. There, she and her talking cat experience how it is to go camping.

When a storm pushes a teenage girl off a dangerous cliff, Cammy flies on her mop to the tree that was supposed to catch her fall. Shockingly, however, the teenage girl is missing. Cammy teams up with the sheriff in the little mountain town to investigate the disappearance of the girl. They run into psychotic weirdos, visitors with illegal guns, and lumberjacks.

When two other girls disappear as well, Cammy cannot help but wonder who or what the vague, black shade in the forest is, and if it has anything to do with the mystery of the teenagers disappearing.
