I’ve been a fan of Melissa Bourbon ever since I discovered her Lola Cruz series. She has mastered the craft of storytelling and it shows in the series that bears her name. I’m so excited to share with you the cover reveal for the next book in the “Book Magic” mystery series, coming July 2021.

Book Synopsis
As Pippin delves deeper into her father’s research, she discovers new information about the curse that plagues the Lanes. At the same time, when a visiting archeologist stays at Sea Captain’s Inn, an ancient discovery leads to murder. Could it be connected to her family? Pippin must get to the truth to save the reputation of Sea Captain’s Inn, and to peel back another layer of Lane family secrets.
