About this eBook

Enjoy this FREE paranormal series starter by USA Today Bestselling cozy mystery author Shéa MacLeod.

Welcome to Deepwood, Oregon, a town of witches, magic, and murder…

Emory Chastain loves her herbs and spices and spells. So much so that when she’s not baking self-confidence into chocolate chip cookies, she’s in her shop selling everything from love potions to herbal tea blends. She’s also one of the most powerful witches of the modern era.

When a strange madness afflicts seemingly unrelated people in her quirky little town, turning ordinary citizens into raving beasts, Emory and her friends are convinced there’s more to the mystery than a simple virus. Turns out they’re right. Somebody is using a magic spell to poison people, and if they don’t stop the killer, there will be more death in the town of Deepwood.

Potions, Poisons, and Peril is the first book in the paranormal cozy mystery series, Deepwood Witches Mysteries, although all books can be read as standalones. For fans of Renee George, Patti Larsen, K.J. Emerick, Sam Cheever, and Dakota Cassidy, this is the first exciting mystery in a complete series that will keep you turning pages until the satisfying and happy ending.

Ratings and reviews

The story was good but there were a few places where things just sort of jumped ahead. It would have been better if the transitions were smoother. also, There were a few typos. even/ever etc.

an engaging story with characters that grow on you page after page. a well written world and story with enough romance and adventure to keep a cozy mystery lover happy.

I really enjoyed a cold, rainy afternoon with an upbeat and fast paced story. Well told. The ladies are lovely and actually eat and live life. looking forward to reading other works.
