The Love Street Detectives Vol. 1
On the corner of Love Street and St George's Park, right in the heart of London, there is a little crystal and magic shop run by the Sheerwood family; an establishment that, to those in the know, is better recognised as the Love Street Detectives.
After generations of crystal sellers and mystery solvers alike, the shop is now run by Anemone Sheerwood and her younger twin, Bluebell. The sisters couldn't be more different, but they share the same goal: to help both magical and ordinary people alike peacefully resolve whatever troubles arrive to disrupt their daily lives. Be it mundane in nature – or anything but!
Join them through their trials and tribulations, along with the very old (and perhaps just a little cranky) witch called Spider, an intriguing cast of friends, and their strange and mysterious family. Together they'll be doing everything they can to help people, solve magical mysteries, and just maybe defeat the mythical monsters that are hiding in plain sight.
The Love Street Detectives Vol 2

Heaven in hell
My name was Hazel. Back when I was alive, I mean. I like to think that I was a good person – I certainly tried to be.
I was honest, helpful, loving, loyal and most of all, I always tried. Tried to do my best, tried to help, tried to always be better.
So imagine my surprise when I woke after my death, and found myself in hell.
