Good morning my peeps, sorry its been awhile but you know the Christmas rush is on . Today I have for you a brand new series for Hp Mallory, THE FOOL the Daughter of the moon book one.
BOOK BLURB
An irreverent, sexy, and hysterical romp through the tarot…
KATEYou know that quote about most people living quiet lives of desperation? Well, that pretty much describes me to a T.
I’m middle-aged, divorced, built like a tree stump, with nothing but a failing romance-writing career to call my own. Yep, no kids, no social life and no pets—not even a chinchilla to greet when I walk through the door of my crappy apartment.
The only thing I do have? Spare Tire Sandy who lives around my waist. Oh, and a nicotine habit I’m desperately trying to kick.
When my eccentric Aunt Artemis ups and dies, leaving me her ‘castle’ in Vermont, I start thinking maybe my luck is taking a turn for the better.
Yeah , no.
The property, in the tiny town of Maplewood, is literally a castle but not like something you’d see in Scotland. This is more like Medieval England had a battle with The Tarot and neither won.
Which means it’s going to be a bitch and a half to sell.
To make matters worse? There’s a tenant in ‘Tarot Castle’ and not like the squatter sort—more like the talking goat sort. Right—Rocco sounds like a New York mobster which is grating enough, but throw in the fact that I’m now responsible for him and I’m not a happy camper.
And let’s not even discuss the shrunken head, Yolanda, who literally WILL NOT STOP TALKING!
The only person who can help me make sense of my new inheritance is Luke Montgomery, owner of the coffee/ bookstore in town. Luke is friendly, really hot in a J. Crew sort of way, and also annoyingly hush-hush about the legacy I’ve apparently been born into: some BS about being a Daughter of the Moon.
And then there’s Magnus Stormrider, my self-proclaimed guardian, who looks like the love-child of Conan the Barbarian and Fabio. The best way to describe Magnus? If the ground opened up and swallowed him whole, I wouldn’t mind—not for one second.
According to my aunt’s never-ending posthumous letters that keep appearing from literally nowhere, I’m supposedly on the journey of The Fool, the first card of the Major Arcana of the tarot.
And that’s pretty damned fitting because if there’s one thing I’m sure of—it’s that I was the biggest fool to have ever agreed to come out here in the first place…
MY REVIEW
Welcome to Maplewood Vermont, where Kate is about have the weirdest time of her life . After her aunt dies and Kate inherits a castle, she is in for the shock of her life. Her life is about to change for the better or worse depends on who you talk to. When she finds out what her aunt was and what she is to become. With the help of Luke, a sexy bookstore owner , who knows more then he is telling Kate . Magnus Stormrider the well lets just say viking or an 90s romance cover model , guardian are there to protect her and guide her , oh and then there is Rocco, he just came with the castle and yes he is a New York sounding goat. ( yes he is a taking goat ). Will Kate make it through her first journey on becoming a daughter of the moon or is this just a fools dream.
OMG here we go with another fun series, The characters are fantastic, Kate is a middle aged divorcee who is trying to pull it together but failing big time. She is stuck and really doesn't know what to do . There are moments through out the book you just want to either hug her or hit her upside the head with a frying pan. Luke is the type of guy that you could fall in love with very easily. He is sweet and kind and he owns a book store. There is something a little more to Luke though, he has secrets that pertain to Kate. Magnus well he is one of those people that well just barrel into your life . Who knew that he was even there until he burst out of her closet and chased her around the garden. He is quite literal in all things that pertain to keeping Kate safe . Ok I have saved the best character for last when I first heard about this character I was chomping at the bit waiting . Let me introduce to you Rocco the goat . But this is no ordinary goat, he is a talking goat who sounds like he should be running a mob family in New York. He is basically squatting there and will be providing Kate with advice if she wants it or not . I can't wait to see where the author is going to take these characters through out the books .
Like I said this is a brand new series for this author and she started off with a bang. The characters are so well written and honestly so fricken funny right out of the gate . I can't wait to see where she takes them through out the series . You will be laughing so hard through out this book you will have tears rolling down your face . Especially when you meet Magnus and Rocco. The series is going to be like going through a deck of tarot cards. The Fool is a great title for the first book because Kate really does make a fool out of herself a lot . There are so many possibilities for this series and I can't wait for the next book to come out . So if you want a fun new series check it out .
