Free Ebook Download: Faerie Cake Deadby J. M. Griffin









Faerie Cake Dead (The Luna Devere Series) by J. M. Griffin

 
Description
Tea, trust and trouble collide at Faerie Cake Junction. When divorcee, Luna Devere, owner of Faerie Cake Junction, meets general contractor, Devin Radford, chaos reigns. Devin instantly wreaks romantic havoc in Luna's life after she finds a corpse sitting in her tea shop as though awaiting service. The shop is surrounded by faeries who have befriended Luna. They know who left the dead man, but they aren't sharing. The sheriff is convinced Luna is daft and that she's the culprit. Devin wonders just how odd Luna is...even though he's drawn to her. And, Luna's ex-husband tries to incriminate her for reasons and purposes of his own. Will Luna survive? Only the faeries know. 

 Why I downloaded:

This synopsis really intrigued me. There's fairies, baked goods, romance and murder...what's not to love?
