To get a fresh start away from a bad relationship, Kylie Strange moves across the country to open a shop in a seemingly quiet town in rural Maine. During renovations on Strange Herbs & Teas, she discovers a peculiar and ancient codex, The Booke of the Hidden, bricked into the wall. Every small town has its legends and unusual histories, and this artifact sends Kylie right into the center of Moody Bog's biggest secret.
While puzzling over the tome's oddly blank pages, Kylie gets an unexpected visitor—Erasmus Dark, an inscrutable stranger who claims to be a demon, knows she has the book, and warns her that she has opened a portal to the netherworld. Kylie brushes off this nonsense, until a series of bizarre murders put her, the newcomer, at the center. With the help of the demon and a coven of witches she befriends while dodging the handsome but sharp-eyed sheriff, Kylie hunts for a killer—that might not be human.
Contains mature themes.

      This cozy paranormal romance pits the titular book and its centuries-old demon guardian against a tea shop owner and a modern coven (whose members search for information on Wiccanpedia). Kylie Strange impulsively moves cross-country to rural Moody Bog, Maine, to open an herb and tea shop. She finds an ancient book hidden in the walls and incautiously opens it, unleashing both a succubus and a mysterious, English-accented figure who counsels her on how to recapture the loose spirit before it destroys her. Fortunately, the local plasterer is also the leader of a small group of witches; unfortunately, the local biker gang is also into its own brand of demon summoning. Westerson (the Crispin Guest medieval noir mysteries) ventures into a supernatural yarn that focuses more on the romantic entanglements of its protagonists than on their specter-hunting skills. The pacing of the novel is slowed by the reluctance of characters to accept unnatural events that readers will move right through. Readers sad about the ending of Charlaine Harris’s Midnight, Texas trilogy will find some consolation in Moody Bog. Agent: Lisa Rodgers, JABberwocky Literary.
