Halo Effect

Welcome to Spellbound, where paranormal is the new normal.

Life is good for Emma Hart. She's married to the love of her life, raising an amazing daughter, surrounded by close friends, and working at a job that makes a difference. When some of her more cantankerous friends start exhibiting signs of sweetness and light against their normal natures, it seems that Emma's influence has finally taken hold—except their behavior seems off in a way that Emma can't quite identify.

In the meantime, Spellbound receives a visit from Ember Rose, Starry Hollow's intrepid reporter who's in town with her daughter and raccoon familiar seeking information from an unlikely source about her ancestor, the One True Witch. Emma offers to help in any way she can, despite the growing tide of unease in connection with certain residents' excessive virtue.

Will Emma get to the bottom of the change before the whole town becomes a zombie horde of Stepford paranormals or will her voice of reason be drowned out by a tsunami of sweetness?
