What's a witch to do when her boss is poisoned right after she wishes him dead?
Witch Destiny Maganti loves working at a tiki bar on the Enchanted Coast, a beach getaway for paranormals. Between delivering drinks to mermaids and serving rare steaks to werewolves, she meets all sorts of interesting people. Plus, as a water witch, she's right at home on the ocean.
The only downside is dealing with her boss, a disgraced angel who thinks the world owes him a living just because of his ancestry. An hour after he publicly humiliates her, he ends up dead. Though her friends know she's innocent, all the evidence points to her.
Can she clear her name before she's kicked off the Enchanted Coast forever?
The Deadly Daiquiri by Tegan Maher has a water witch working as a tiki bar waitress at a resort.
Can Destiny solve the murder before she’s taken in?
Destiny Maganti
Destiny Maganti is a water witch who works at a beach resort waitressing at the tiki bar. She loves her life working there despite how terrible her boss happens to be. Destiny is excellent at her job and keeping her customers happy even though, at times, they can get awful. Throughout the story, more about Destiny’s background is revealed, and I love how the author did Destiny’s background.
Destiny is a great character, and I loved learning about how all of these magical creatures seem to exist while enjoying a vacation at a magical creature resort.
The Mystery
Destiny was working at the tiki bar, and after she dropped drinks off at her boss’s table with some of his friends, Cassiel keeled over. Before that, Destiny was seen arguing with him, and some other people were arguing with him, but she was the main suspect. Destiny is determined to figure out who actually killed him off before the police take her in to go through their tribunal. I love learning about how different this magic system is and how their law works. Okay, and I have to admit I had no clue who could have done it until it was revealed. Now that I’m sitting here and thinking it over, the clues lined right up to who did it—well played, Ms. Maher.
Four Stars
I am giving four stars to The Deadly Daiquiri by Tegan Maher. It is a fabulous read. I honestly wouldn’t mind living at the beach year round. Primarily because if you think about it, you can dip your feet into the water whenever you want. Oh, I also recommend this book to anyone who wants an excellent paranormal cozy mystery to solve!

About Tegan Maher
I was born and raised in the South and even hung my motorcycle helmet in Colorado for a few months. I’ve always had a touch of wanderlust and have never feared just packing up and going on new adventures, whether in real life or via the pages of a great book.
I didn’t want to grow up to be a writer—I wanted to raise unicorns and be a superhero. When those gigs fell through, I chose the next best thing: creating my own magical lands filled with adventure, magic, and humor.
I live in Florida with my two dogs, and when I’m not writing or reading, I’m racing motorcycles, hanging out at the beach, or binge-watching anything magical on Netflix.
