About this book

Stella Campfield is a witch who prides herself on her independence, balancing paranormal consulting with a chaotic life in Wickwood. However, when a portal to another dimension accidentally opens, her world spirals into a dangerous supernatural crisis. To close the rift and banish the malevolent essence she feels responsible for, Stella is forced to partner with the one person she vowed to avoid: a skeptical police officer with a magnetic pull she cannot ignore.

Lucas Martinez is a man of facts and logic, but his latest investigation into a string of impossible events leaves him questioning reality. Drawn back into the orbit of the enchanting woman he met at a local bar, Lucas must bridge the gap between his badge and the occult. As the pair works to contain the encroaching darkness, the lines between professional curiosity and undeniable chemistry begin to blur, igniting a slow-burn romance that defies his rational worldview.

This gripping second installment of the Wickwood Chronicles masterfully blends cozy mystery with high-stakes paranormal tension. Featuring a reluctant partnership, a clash between science and sorcery, and a mystery that keeps you guessing, this story is a must-read for fans of atmospheric, steamy romance and complex, enchanting world-building.

Completely Enchanting!

January 26, 2021

I LOVED this second installment for the Wickwood Chronicles! McDonald busts this world wide open and brings it to new heights and dimensions. She easily navigates blending in all of the different plot points and relationships (romantic, family, and friendship) together into a fun and \"enchanting\" story. I loved learning more about Stella's magic, and McDonald wove it into how it effects her relationships and the romance so well, and it made me get attached to her all the more. Lucas is a...

Much better than the first one!

November 17, 2021

I liked the first book in this series fine, but this one was MUCH better. The world building and paranormal elements are much more complex, and a really strong, along with a good chemistry between the main characters and a male lead to die for. The pacing at the front end was a bit slow on the romance side, with some repetitive language I could have done without, but overall the mystery of how all the strange happenings tied together was really compelling and kept me reading at a fast clip Will...

Steamy, Enchanting, and Often Sweet

January 28, 2021

I read the first book in the series set in the same town. That was more of a rom com with a spooky house. This has a different feel because different characters--but we still get appearances by the characters from the last book which is always fun to see the interactions. She's a witch who was taught not to trust law enforcement. He's a cop who doesn't know about magic. But the spark of chemistry is there from the moment they meet. Now they'll have to deal with coming from two different worlds...

Creative Deeds Reads Review

February 16, 2021

I realized when I started reading Ghost of an Enchantment that I have a thing for characters that are clueless. Actually beyond clueless when it comes to the existence of the unexplained. To be honest, I probably realized it before I read Ghost of an Enchantment, but Lucas and his adamance against anything that couldn’t be explained by anything outside the norm reinforced it. Lucas and Stella are drawn together regardless of how hard they try to deny it – and they tried really hard. Fate had...

Magic, Mystery, and Organic Romance

May 28, 2021

I fell in love with this introverted witch and straight laced, charming cop with family issues bent on helping her pretty much by the end of page one. Filled with tender, mystery, and funny moments, it kept me just as captivated as the first Wickwood book. Each novel in this series deepens the world and mystery more and more, sucking me in completely until I can't wait for the next one! )
