Dahlia Poplar is a genuine witch, an unofficial gofer, and Luna Lane's only cursed resident. With a werewolf best friend, a vampire ex-boyfriend, and a ghost for a hanger-on, Dahlia is far from the most unusual dweller of her sleepy small town, but she's the only one unable to leave. Dahlia has to perform at least one good deed per day-or she's one step closer to turning to stone. Fortunately, the residents of Luna Lane have plenty of tasks for Dahlia to complete to avert the curse until Cable Woodward, fetching professor and nephew of her elderly neighbor, stops by for the semester on sabbatical. Attempting to help Cable's uncle work through the trauma of losing his wife, Dahlia uncovers the man's collection of board games, which leads to him reminiscing about the long-forgotten Luna Lane Games Club. Dahlia reestablishes Games Club, only to find evidence of a number of horrible demises connected to the original group. While trying to uncover the truth about the deaths, Dahlia has to fight off her curse, protect her elderly neighbor from becoming the next victim, and most vexing of all, keep Cable from figuring out Luna Lane's supernatural secrets. Only with eerie board games like these, there may not be a loser-or even a winner-who survives.
Dahlia Poplar, a witch cursed to turn to stone if she fails to perform a good deed daily, must uncover the truth behind a series of deaths linked to a forgotten board game club. Her supernatural existence in the small town of Luna Lane is complicated by a werewolf best friend, a vampire ex-boyfriend, and a ghost, but her primary challenge arises when a visiting professor, Cable Woodward, arrives. While helping Cable's uncle, Dahlia discovers a collection of board games that sparks the revival of the Luna Lane Games Club, inadvertently unearthing a dark history of demises connected to its original members. Dahlia must now race against time to solve the mystery, protect her elderly neighbor, and prevent Cable from discovering the town's supernatural secrets, all while battling her own impending petrification.**
The premise sets up a cozy mystery with a paranormal twist, blending elements of magic, friendship, and romance. The narrative appears to focus on Dahlia's efforts to manage her curse while investigating a historical mystery, suggesting a blend of lighthearted supernatural elements with suspenseful plot developments. The inclusion of a potential romantic interest in Cable Woodward indicates that relationship dynamics will likely play a significant role alongside the central mystery. The story's resolution will likely hinge on Dahlia's ability to unravel the secrets of the board games and the original club members, thereby averting further tragedy and potentially finding a way to manage her own curse.
