The Cozy Mystery in a Fantasy World Series, Book 1
By Rachel Parisi
High fantasy meets cozy mystery with a jubilant, feel-good twist and a slow-burn lesbian romance baked in.
When Clara O’Connell decided it was finally time to shake things up, she had envisioned getting an edgy haircut, renewing her quest for the perfect girlfriend, or maybe just canceling her cable.
What she couldn’t possibly have imagined was being dropped into another world, one that resembled the magical role-playing game fantasy realms she had loved playing in for years.
Other things Clara could not have imagined:
The dead body she bumped into within minutes of arriving in the new world.
Being a murder suspect.
Coming face-to-face with dwarves, dragonkind, orcs, and more.
And definitely not realizing that maybe she had been unlucky at love because her “type” was apparently a sexy, gorgeous lady elf named Lore.
One thing is certain. Clara is shaking things up in every way. Will this new world be what she hadn’t even known she was looking for?
Fans of Legends & Lattes, Bookshops & Bonedust, Cursed Cocktails, and Beers & Beards have another delicious world to inhabit in Magic & Mead. You will love this book if you enjoy cozy fantasy, cozy mystery, D&D-like worlds, kindness, slow-burn lesbian romance, found family themes, and imperfect female protagonists.
