The (Un)Lucky Valley series by Michelle M. Pillow is a charming and humorous take on the cozy paranormal mystery genre. Set in the oddly-named Lucky Valley, Colorado, the series follows Lily Goode as she navigates the unexpected inheritance of a massive Victorian house that comes with its own set of “quirks”—including garden gnomes that are more than just lawn ornaments and an eccentric aunt who claims they are both witches.
What makes this series stand out is its lighthearted approach to the supernatural. Lily isn’t a powerful sorceress fighting world-ending threats; she’s a relatable woman trying to fix up a house while dealing with magical misfires and small-town drama. With its blend of “whodunit” mysteries, sweet romance, and a cast of eccentric characters (and pets!), the (Un)Lucky Valley series is a perfect read for those who enjoy their paranormal stories with a side of laughter.
