Lipstick and Liches

The Seaspray Inn is open for business… unfortunately, so are the graves.

Tilly Hudgins is doing her best to keep things running smoothly at her family’s magical hotel. But with a grim-faced inspector sneaking around and threatening to revoke her license, she’s desperate for just two days of normal. Instead, her cousin Myrtle and her cat familiar Smudge accidentally swap bodies, and things spiral from weird to full-blown catastrophe.

Then the dead start rising.

As locals begin turning up half-eaten, all signs point to Aunt Pearl as the necromancer behind the chaos. Pearl, of course, claims she’s innocent (while suspiciously hoarding bones and muttering Latin). Now Tilly must juggle re-burying the undead, running her business, and keeping up with her new magical homeschooling course before the inspector slaps her with a big fat FAIL.

Oh, and her great-grandmother’s hypercritical ghost is now permanently trapped in every mirror on the property. Gee whiz.
If that weren’t enough, Tilly's caught in an awkward love triangle, and both of her would-be suitors are hiding something. It’s almost easier dealing with the dead than getting a man to say what’s on his mind.

It’s going to take more than a fresh coat of paint and a polite smile to survive this week on Seaspray Isle.
