Maggie O'Neill is a witch-in-training, an empath to be exact. While working at Enchantments, Maggie encounters Amanda Roberson a privileged high school student with attitude who later that same day disappears. Of course, Maggie can't keep her nose out of trouble and when evidence falls into her lap, instead of going to the police, she investigates herself. We've all seen the horror movies, so you know what happened next....

I really enjoy Maggie's fumbling attempts at solving mysteries. She just stumbles along from one clue to another with no idea and then with a little magic it all comes together. She always seems to get herself caught with the killer as she's searching for the final proof before handing it off to the police. Madelyn Alt puts the mystery together in pieces so solving it can't be done until the final piece is laid out. Great writing!
