Title: Mystic Treasure
Author: Ada Bell (also known as Laura Heffernan)
Date: 2021
Quote: "Today was the perfect day to win a fortune."
But Aluminum "Aly" Reynolds is not fated to be the heir of the fortune. In the fictional town of Shady Grove, New York (in no way confusible with the real Shady Grove, Maryland), many people have some sort of magical power, though it may be weak and confusible. Aly sometimes sees visions associated with objects but they're usually not clear or complete enough to be really useful. The town is holding a treasure hunt. The treasure is the title to an abandoned house. Aly could use a house, so she's hunting, but what her powers will help her find is the rightful heir to the house.
This short, mildly funny, whimsical fantasy comes somewhere in the middle of a series of longer novels, having been added when Amazon's analyses reported that the most successful marketing technique was to have a shorter volume in a series that could be given away as an introduction to the rest of the series. It didn't leave me longing to own the whole series. If you enjoyed "Charmed" and "Bewitched," it might have that effect on you.
