Welcome to Hollywood Lakes, where friends are family and the magic begins at midlife.

Since moving to Hollywood Lakes, Shay's life has been full of surprises—like the mysterious crow gifts she keeps finding on her porch and her childhood summer camp turning into a getaway for adults.

It's all cocktails and crafts until Color Wars begins, and Shay learns her former nemesis is captain of the opposing team—even meaner now than she was then. Shay's determined to win . . . until word witch duty calls.

A famous actor—and Shay's former client—disappears, threatening to derail the camp's success. Who's taken him and what do they want? And does it have something to do with the mysterious circle of oak trees at the forest's edge?

Shay's about to learn that being the word witch isn't only fun and games because sometimes, midlife comes with faery strife.
