The Bean Baile

Serena Gray has made a mistake. She has made several mistakes, in fact. First, she has angered the police department with her latest article. A good reporter doesn't add opinion. Even when it is glaring. This left her without a usual haunt to sip coffee and type her latest scoop. The Bean Baile seems like any other coffee shop. There are cappuccinos, chai lattes, muffins, and croissants. It is tucked into a cozy strip mall just off the college campus. But this coffeehouse holds more than a caffeine jolt-it holds secrets. Gathered behind its doors are professors, athletes, students, and a resident cat-or so it seems. Look deeper and you might see orcs, satyrs, fairies, and gremlins. It is little wonder that Barnabas Gentry, owner of the Bean Baile, wants to keep out technology. The old ways are best when dealing with the fae. Cassie wants to change all that. She's a Youtuber who desperately wants to film with the backdrop of a fireplace surrounded by books. The only thing standing in her way is the lack of Wi-Fi. Her hope for a change comes stumbling in one blustery day in the form of a wayward reporter.
