The Enchantment Emporium

From bestselling author Tanya Huff comes the first in a series about an unconventional family where women cultivate power, men show a little horn, and aunties are almost always a step ahead

Growing up a Gale girl in rural Ontario meant all the freedom Alysha Gale wanted: tracing charms on her lovers, ruling the high school with her pack of cousins, dodging the aunties' more coercive pies. But at twenty-four, Allie is brokenhearted, out of a job, and not so much nestled in the bosom of her family as suffocated. Until her wild grandmother writes to announce she's dead and deeding Allie a junk shop in Calgary.

As soon as she steps into the Enchantment Emporium, Allie knows there's plenty to keep even a Gale girl busy. There's a monkey's paw sitting in the glass case. Her grandmother did business with a supernaturally odd collection of strays. And a smoking hot man with a dodgy cover story keeps inquiring about Granwho's vanished without a trace. But the shadows of Calgary hide more than one kind of threat. Allie could flee back home or discover if she can become a force to be reckoned with all by herself.
