Mist At The Beach House: Mermaids and Murder: A Paranormal Seaside Mystery (Beach House Mysteries Book 1)

She came home for a funeral she didn't expect. She left as a murder suspect. Morgan Seaver returns to her family's beach house on Pearl Island expecting nothing more than a quiet homecoming. Instead, she finds her aunt dead on the floor — and the police pointing fingers straight at her. Then the mist comes. It wraps around her like it knows her, and from its depths steps a kitten who claims Morgan as his own before she's even decided whether to trust him. As Morgan digs for the truth, she uncovers a family legacy soaked in mermaid legend — and a centuries-old vendetta with Cora, a sea witch who doesn't forgive, doesn't forget, and has been waiting a very long time for a Seaver to come home. To clear her name, Morgan has to do more than solve a murder. She has to decide how much of her family's darkest bargain she's willing to inherit. Perfect for fans of small-town paranormal cozies with bite — where the magic is real, the secrets are older than anyone living, and the kitten might just be the most dangerous thing on the island
