About this book

Maple Hollow remains the ultimate sanctuary for endless autumn vibes, gossiping ghosts, and pumpkin spice, but beneath the cozy facade, a sinister mystery is brewing. When souls begin vanishing into thin air, Ramona Henry, a sharp-suited demon, finds herself in a bind. To stop the disappearances, she must reluctantly partner with Iris Stonewood, a flirtatious apothecary witch who is as bold as she is troublesome.

What starts as a reluctant investigation quickly spirals into a high-stakes hunt through the shadows of the town. As a classic trope of enemies-to-lovers unfolds, the pair must navigate a web of suspects ranging from neighborhood busybodies to a local vampire knitting club. The banter between the two is lethal, yet it barely masks the sizzling chemistry that threatens to consume them both.

Blending the comfort of a cozy small-town setting with the high stakes of a dark paranormal romance, this sapphic tale delivers the perfect balance of humor and peril. Whether you are craving a mystery that keeps you guessing or a slow-burn romance that burns hotter than a Halloween bonfire, this hellish adventure is the must-read follow-up that proves love—and a little bit of damnation—is always in the air.

A very nice book!

Yet another story in the universe of Maple Hollow. I was impatiently waiting for this one to come out. I loved the first book in the series and had high hopes for this one, and I wasn’t disappointed. Maple Hollow seems like a wonderful place to be during the autumn season, with its magical atmosphere and Halloween vibes, but being a part of this community feels like a perfect place to belong. The citizens of this city are just like one big family, and families often fight, argue, disagree,...

Curses and Cold Brew gives you demons, witches, found family, mystery, and shenanigans. We pick back up in Maple Hollow following the ending of Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist, and continue Iris and Romona’s story and their deal (make sure you read PS&P first!) The romantic tension between the two is great and I like the way the relationship develops. It’s slightly instant-love but they have enough going on in the story that it doesn’t feel too sudden. The mystery gets “figured out” pretty early in...

Cozy Corny Read

November 2, 2025

This was a delightful read filled with cozy fall vibes! The story is fast paced and the characters start the book with a previous history that gets explained slowly. I wish we could have been apart of this backstory, but this is only because I prefer slow-burns. There’s a quite a bit of banter that elicits a good laugh and a picture-perfect small town filled with supernatural creatures. The world building is good for the short length of the book. A few things to note: - it does get a little...

Back to Maple Hollow with another problem to fix

November 10, 2025

Curses & Cold Brew takes us back to Maple Hallow and its supernatural inhabitants. I was eager to read Iris and Ramona’s story, especially after the glimpse, full of tension, we got in Pumpkin Spice & Poltergeist. And I was not disappointed. The tension was as scalding as it was in the glimpse. I mean… Ramona is a dark, brooding, and possessive/ protective demon who intimidates everyone, except Iris, her weakness. I loved how Iris kept proving that she is fearless and doesn’t need saving, but I...
