Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

“Never mix witchcraft and vodka”—or maybe you should? This silly book is like a grown up version of Sabrina the Teenaged Witch. It has all the fall vibes tied together with a romance and fall festivals. Goes well with vodka, salty popcorn, and hot apple cider. 

A Spoonful of Murder by Connie Archer
