About The Lanterns of Briarhollow: A Lantern Witch Mystery Book 1

The Harvest Lantern Festival was supposed to be the safest night of the year. Until the man who maintains Briarhollow’s enchanted lantern grid collapses in the middle of the celebration. Now the entire town is buzzing with rumors.

Some say it was an accident. Some say it was sabotage. And far too many people are starting to whisper the name Dina Whitlock.

Dina only came back to Briarhollow to reopen her grandmother’s candle shop, The Lantern & Wick, and keep her magic quiet. Instead, she’s become the town’s newest suspect. If she can’t figure out what really happened, the town council could shut down her shop before it even opens.

With the help of a stubborn dachshund who specializes in trouble, a sharp-eyed black cat who misses nothing, and a lantern filled with magic she barely understands, Dina starts digging for answers. But the deeper she investigates, the clearer it becomes that someone in Briarhollow is hiding dangerous secrets. Secrets someone will do anything to keep buried.

And if Dina doesn’t uncover the truth soon…she may be the one the town decides to blame. The Lanterns of Briarhollow is the first book in a charming witchy cozy mystery series featuring enchanted lantern magic, lovable animal sidekicks, and a magical small town filled with secrets.
