Of Murders and Mages — Nikki Haverstock

Three ways that Ella's life is totally messed up: __ her new coworker is as cranky as he is attractive__ a mischievous cat has decided she needs a familiar__ she just found out she's a witch who can read the emotional hologram of a magical death (and isn't that a mouthful)And oh yeah, there's five dead bodies, and no one knows how they are connected. Now she's drawn into a madcap investigation at the casino where she's managed to snag a job. She must navigate learning her new mage abilities, a topless burlesque show, a jealous girlfriend, gamblers of all varieties, and magical chocolate cake, all while not setting herself or others on fire before the murderer makes her the next victim.
