When they said the red beans and rice were to die for, they didn’t mean it literally.

Althea has accepted her witch heritage, but she still hasn’t committed to staying in New Orleans. In the meantime, she’s revived the coven’s shop and cafe with the help of her best friend, Evangeline.

While planning the menu and selecting merchandise, Thea continues to investigate her mother's murder and Evangeline's husband's disappearance. And she’s trying to convince her mother to restore her childhood memories.

With her best friend accused of murder, Althea needs to solve this mystery first. And now tensions in the paranormal community are about to boil over because of mutual mistrust..
