Espresso and Evil Eyes

A Moonlight Café Mystery - Book Two

by H.F. Lawson

In the enchanted town of Moonlight Bay, memories can vanish with a single sip.

Marlowe Quinn thought she was beginning to understand the magic-infused café she inherited-until her customers start forgetting things they never meant to lose. Names. Faces. Entire pieces of their lives. And when her own memories begin slipping, one espresso at a time, Marlowe realizes the café isn't just reacting to the past. It's being rewritten.

As a Midsummer festival brews chaos in town, Marlowe uncovers a trail of cursed drinks, ghostly footprints, and a secret society known only as the Brethren of the Bitter Brew. With the help of a smug black cat familiar, a too-charming maybe-traitor, and a sentient pantry with trust issues, Marlowe must face the truth: magic tied to memory always comes at a cost.

And someone wants her to forget who she is before she remembers why she's here.

Perfect for fans of cozy witch mysteries, Legends & Lattes, and small towns that bite back, this second installment is steeped in charm, laced with danger, and full of magical mischief that lingers long after the last page.
