GOOD MORNING ALL

 Well 2020 is almost over and to end the year we have a new book from JR. Rain and Hp Mallory CASHMERE CURSES ( book one in the Wanda's Witchery series )

                            BOOK BLURB 

    Time to walk softly and carry a big stake…

I had it all.

A powerful coven. A charming Victorian mansion. A sexy car. A couture closet. Credit cards up the wazoo, and an endearing familiar.

Actually, scratch that, Hellcat would never be described as ‘endearing’. More like: the bane of my existence.

So, I almost had it all.

Then a vampire came along and ruined it when he turned me into a Blood Witch.

Now, I’ve been kicked out of my coven, kicked out of the mansion, I have no credit to speak of, the Lexus is a thing of the past and, not only am I driving something from the 80s, but it’s also unapologetically yellow. And rusted.

But the biggest kicker of all? I’m still stuck with Hellcat.

Even though my luck has too much in common with a toilet, if Wanda Depraysie is anything… it’s determined. Determined to make a go of things all by myself—determined to start over.

So, I pack up the few items I can actually call my own and I move to the only place that doesn’t fall under coven ownership—a little town in Oregon called Haven Hollow.

Imagine my surprise when I find out a gypsy has already taken up residence in this afterthought of a town. Well, no worries, witch magic trumps gypsy magic and I’ll make short work of her. After all, Haven Hollow is way too small for the two of us.

No, the gypsy won’t be an issue. It’s my new landlord who’s going to be the death of me… possibly quite literally. Why? Because he’s none other than the vampire who turned me into a Blood Witch in the first place, thereby ruining my life.

Lorcan Rowe is the most infuriatingly smug, irritatingly determined and offensively nosy person I’ve ever met and if my magic were functioning correctly, I’d hex him into oblivion.

But, that’s just it—my magic is on the fritz. And that won’t do—especially when I need to open my enchanted clothing store, Wanda’s Witchery, yesterday.

When my fabrics go missing at the same time that my magic stops working, I can only blame one person: Lorcan.

Well, that vampire is about to learn a very valuable lesson—you don’t mess with a witch, blood or otherwise, because when the going gets tough, the tough get a really sharp stake.

                     MY REVIEW 

  Wanda is not having a good week . She leaves her coven because her mother wants to hide her away because of what happened to her . She is on the hunt for a new place where she can call home. When she comes to Haven Hollow where she feels at home . Until she finds out that there is a gypsy living there and to top it off the Vampire that turned her into a blood witch is now her landlord and her neighbor .  When things start to go missing and her magic goes on the fritz she has to enlist the friends of Haven Hollow to help find out what is going on before she stakes the one man who actually makes her heart beat a little faster .

 Ok I am going to tell you a little something when I started reading Wanda's book . I really didn't like her , to me she was whiny and was coming of as a brat . All she was doing was thinking about herself and how she was going to get rid of her competition or what she thought of as her competition . As I read I found out that she was growing on me and that I really started to care for her . She really grows up and realizes that there is more to being a person then what you can do . Its about the friends that you get along the way and you might actually find love along the way too.  Lorcan is hilarious as you see him worry and obsessing  about Wanda ,  There are characters from Poppy's potions that come out to play in this book also . Together everyone is so fun to read and you will love them 

   I truly love these two authors and their writing styles complement each other . They love to take you a roller coaster ride that will have you laughing all the way through it . The characters they write have their flaws but you get to see them work through the flaws and come out better people. This is a book you can sit down in an evening and read and trust me there are parts of the book that will have you laughing so hard you could snort . I can't wait to see where the authors take the characters and who they bring in to other books in the series . So if you want a fun book to end off the year check it out .

WOW TWO DAYS AND COUNTING

 Good morning all , its two days and counting until Christmas where did the year go . Today I have the seventh book in the Mists of Mayhem and Magic series . ONE WITH SHADOWS  by Hp Mallory. 

                            BOOK BLURB

   Episode 7: One With Shadows

After finding out all her schoolmates are possessed with the ghosts of long dead Druids, and narrowly escaping a close call with the Vryloka, Emma is on the run with the only man she trusts—her professor, Stone Draper. What will happen once they find themselves ensconced in a small cabin, out in the middle of nowhere?

Pagan isn’t sure it’s such a great idea to break into the Masked Magistrates with Nyx, in order to steal something—something unknown to him. But, when they get caught, and Pagan narrowly escapes, what will he do when he finds out Nyx never escaped?

Jolie is still haunted by her feelings for Rand, meanwhile her feelings for Morse are becoming more and more difficult to ignore and fight. She can’t help but wonder, though, what Morse is hiding? The more she thinks about him, the more she realizes she really doesn’t know who he is.

And Laucian finds himself more and more taken with the vampire hunter sent to murder him. When he appeals to her to help him defend Rowan, will she take the job?

                      MY REVIEW 

  Wow there is so much going on in this installment of the series .  Jolie is still being haunted by her feeling for Rand as her feeling for Morse are becoming harder to fight.  Poor Emma is running from possessed classmates and the only person she can trust is Stone .  Pagan is having second thoughts about Nyx and helping her out . And we have Laucain who well is trying hard not to fall for the vampire hunter that is after him and will she help him to protect Rowan . 

 Ok with this being the seventh book in the series we are finally getting to see more action . Each character is having so much going on . Emma is being chased and Stone is protecting her and boy do the sparks finally fly in the tiny cabin in the middle of nowhere.  Jolie finally gets to the spot where she finds out why she is being kept in the Abyss and why . I really love all of these characters and who with each episode of the series you see how much they have grown and become so much more complex . Even the new characters we see them growing and becoming more and more complex . They are holding their own with the characters we love . 

   This series is really becoming one of my favourite series . The author takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride in each book . She packs a lot into a short book. Each and every book in the series is just a fun read . I strongly suggest you read in order so you can get to really know these guys .  So if you want a good series to take you into the new year check them out, I promise you will fall in love with each and every character.

.

  This anthology has some great novellas from some great authors and some new authors to me . There are different genres for everyone . There are some stories i preferred over other but over all the stories had my Christmas spirit soaring

 The one story that I really loved was THE CHRISTMAS CONTEST  by Theresa Sederholt . 

It is a sweet story of a grandfather wanting his grandson to find love and the way he does that is to have a contest to win his house in Nantucket .When Jack finds out well of course he is going to do something to stop it . Will Donald be able to bring Jack and Holly together in time for Christmas . 

 i truly loved these characters, Holly is the sweet woman who wants to get out of her dead end job . She will melt your heart . Jack well he is your typical guy who left to advance his career . They are sweet when they come together . Donald well I want him for a grandpa . he is a character and man you will fall in love with him from the first moment he gives you an oatmeal cookie . 

  This is a sweet novella that will have you wanting to hug grandpa and praying that Jack and Holly come together .  There is a moment in the book that you might shed a tear and have a hardy laugh. You will also want one of those oatmeal cookies that Donald makes and pays everyone off with . 

 This is just one of the fun filled stories you will find in this anthology . So if you want some time to yourself this holiday season this could be the book for you . A great book to curl up with so grab your glass of wine and a cozy blanket and snuggle on in.
