Maddy Madrigal Mysteries

Maddy Madrigal thinks her days of wrangling monsters for the LAPD are over when she takes a cushy security job in an exclusive gated community. She expects higher pay, peaceful evenings cooking Mexican food, and quiet companionship with her unusual new cat. But in Barely Magic, a supernatural predator begins hunting residents behind the guarded gates. To stop the carnage, Maddy must embrace a startling truth: she possesses inherited bruja abilities, and her glamorous new sanctuary hides deadly supernatural secrets.

The protective barrier around Maddy Madrigal’s exclusive Los Angeles enclave is collapsing, and ravenous creatures are clawing at the gates. In Somewhat Magic, Maddy’s powers are still finding their footing, yet demanding bosses expect immediate miracles. Between dodging assassination attempts, fighting off a greedy developer after her home, and facing ravenous paranormal beasts, Maddy must unlock the full depth of her bruja heritage before the neighborhood’s defenses shatter completely.

Peace in Chavez Ravine is walking a razor’s edge. When an actress is brutally murdered in her home—her body riddled with savage bite marks—Maddy Madrigal finds her detective instincts and nascent magic pushed to the brink. In Desperate Magic, she must outmaneuver an abrasive police detective looking to humiliate her while hunting a vicious killer before the body count climbs. Dark forces are gathering in Phantom’s Pass, forcing Maddy to summon her bruja heritage before the hunter becomes the prey.

A romantic getaway goes sideways when Maddy Madrigal’s powers start glitching at the worst possible time. In Mortal Magic, chaos erupts across Los Angeles with rioting garden gnomes in Beverly Hills and an ancient, bloodthirsty menace roosting right outside Chavez Ravine. With her spells failing, creatures refusing to stay dead, and an agitated cat at her side, Maddy must plunge into a forgotten lineage of brujería and neighborhood history to unmask who summoned this lethal nightmare.

A rare quiet stretch in Chavez Ravine shatters when strange emergence holes pit the ground and a bizarre magical curse strikes Maddy Madrigal’s closest friends, robbing them of their greatest talents. In Tangled Magic, Maddy juggles aggressive HOA budget cuts, a fraught romance, and the ticking clock of the fast-approaching Day of the Dead Festival. Blending hard-nosed detective work with her evolving bruja powers, she must uncover who is targeting the community before its soul is stripped away.

A joyous celebration turns into absolute terror when a deadlier, ultra-aggressive breed of monsters invades Chavez Ravine. Immune to Maddy Madrigal’s usual entity-taming arsenal, these savage beasts launch a brutal rampage. In Major Magic, Maddy must draw upon generations of brujas and the ancient magic of her ancestors to stand a fighting chance. But as the community teeters on the brink of ruin, she faces a chilling question: did her own powers summon this unstoppable paranormal outbreak?
