The Crescent Moon Tearoom : a novel / by Sivinski, Stacy,author.;
"Ever since the untimely death of their parents, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley have made a business of threading together the stories that rest in the swirls of chai, ginger, and cardamon of their customers' cups. Their days at the teashop are filled with talk of butterflies and good fortune intertwined with the sound of cinnamon shortbread being snapped by laced fingers. That is, until the Council of Witches comes calling with news that the city Diviner has lost her powers, and the sisters suddenly find themselves being pulled in different directions. As Anne's magic begins to develop beyond that of her sisters', Beatrix's writing attracts the attention of a publisher, and Violet is enchanted by the song of the circus-and perhaps a darkly mischievous trapeze artist threatening to sweep her off her feet-, it seems a family curse that threatens to separate the sisters is taking effect. With dwindling time to rewrite their future and help three other witches challenge their own destinies, the Quigleys set out to bargain with Fate. But in focusing so closely on saving each other, will they lose sight of themselves?"--

Creep / by Greenaway, R. M.,author.;
"It seems the October rains have brought death and disaster to North Vancouver. A missing hiker is found by his son and daughter - was he frightened to death? - on an old-growth trail in the Lynn Headwaters park; a foul smell leads to a mauled body in a crawl space; and a small boy is attacked and bitten by a man in wolf form. Yet it is only the beginning of the mayhem the North Shore RCMP will have to deal with before winter sets in. Once an up-and-coming Serious Crimes investigator, these days Constable Cal Dion is back on general duties, feeling out-of-the-loop and rebellious. On a routine canvassing task, he finds himself questioning a most attractive witness, one he feels is peripheral enough to the crawl space case that he would be safe in asking her out. Of course, it's the worst decision ... Meanwhile Constable David Leith is in the thick of the same investigation, a case complicated by rumours running wild and a most elusive suspect. Halloween has brought out the ghouls for Leith and his team ... and possibly a shapeshifter as well, with murder on its mind."--
