Once upon a time in Wilmington, North Carolina, three witches ran a curio shop named Smuggler’s Arcane. But as the years passed, their magical powers started to fade—leaving them no choice but to conjure up a retirement package…  
Before they could blink their eyes or twitch their noses, Molly, Elsie, and Olivia somehow became eligible for AARP. But they can’t fly off to Boca Raton just yet. First they must give up their magic, recruit and train three new witches, and pass on their cherished spellbook.
They’ve barely begun to consider potential practitioners when Olivia winds up dead and their spellbook is stolen. To honor their friend and reclaim their spells, Molly and Elsie are about to go wand-to-wand with a dangerous young witch more powerful than the trio was in their prime. And this time they’re going to need more than magic up their sleeves…

Willow wand and herb of sage,

My review:

Spell Booked is the first in a brand new series called , A Retired Witches Mystery.  I just finished reading this book and I loved the storyline. Three  witches have come to the realization  that they are old. Elise Molly and Oliva have to pass on all they know to 3 new witches.  The problems start when one of their own Oliva dies. Now they are only 2 and need to carry on. The problem is there are too many obstacles in their way and their spell book has been stolen. This is another great book by these two authors.  I give this book a 4/5.  I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
