This book checked so many boxes off for me. Witches, set in Salem, podcast, the paranormal, murder mystery! I always find cozies a little cheesy, but they’re just so much fun that I never can resist.

The MC, Mia loses her job, and having no place to go (as she also ends up breaking up with her longtime boyfriend) ends up in Salem, in a last ditch attempt to be a podcaster. Mia and her new friends are a trip, hunting ghosts, and eventually even a murderer, and I can honestly say I’m looking forward to reading book 2!
