After misusing her magic to try to save the life of her cancer-stricken ex-husband, Quinn Callahan is sent from Seattle to a small village in Ireland to make a new start. She's taking over the house and bookstore of another witch who also needed to be moved.

Enchanted with her new home, Quinn is eager to make a new start. However, she doesn't expect to find the body of the local lothario when she first visits her new bookstore. Nor does she expect to find the local vampires holding book club meetings late at night in her club space.

And when she keeps finding clues to the reason for Declan O'Connor's death pushed under her door or hidden in her book stacks, she calls on her new vampire friends and some of the locals to help her solve the murder.

Lucy arrives at her grandmother's for a visit, only to discover that her grandmother passed away a few weeks before.
