Cascade Lorne is recently divorced and days away from turning 50, when she receives a strange gift that plunges her immediately into an entirely different world. A parallel one right alongside hers that she never saw before. The only problem is that witches are supposed to get their magic during puberty. And Cas is...well, past puberty. This is a box set that includes the first three books in the Crystal Springs Cozy Witch Mystery series. 

Paige Murphy loves her new life in Italy, where she can sip wine, eat pasta, and while the days away working on her romance novel. But all that changes when her beloved aunt falls ill, and she must fly back home to Texas - a place she thought she’d left behind. In a blink, she finds herself with a failing beachside bookstore, jealous cousins out to get her, and pesky suitors who won’t leave her alone. As if that wasn’t enough, buried treasure and hidden secrets could prove to be deadly!

Zoey Rivers has experienced a lot of ups and downs as Chief of Staff at a retirement home for witches. The place is now home to other paranormals, too, such as a djinn, a demon, and a clairvoyant. But the adventures keep coming, and Zoey and her residents and friends find themselves in more strange situations that require investigating.

She's the Chief of Staff at a retirement home, which doesn't sound odd on its own, but when you consider it's a retirement home for witches and other paranormals, the strange factor ratchets up.

If she doesn't figure out who's causing havoc at the Home, the place might not be standing for much longer.

And, of course, that’s not the end of it. The police detective seems bent on fingering a resident or staff member for the crime.
