HAPPY MONDAY ALL
Good morning my peeps . I hope you all are having a great summer so far and surviving the heat . It has gotten so hot on the farm my house has turned into a meat locker. Which gives me a great excuse to snuggle under a blanket and get caught up on some great summer reads. Today I have for you book 3 in the Daughter of the Moon series . THE STAR by Hp Mallory.
BOOK BLURB
KATE:
I’m finally getting used to being a Daughter of the Moon.
Getting used to living in my aunt’s wacky castle in Vermont, getting used to my enormous… assets, and getting used to living with a talking goat, an annoying shrunken head, and my oafish barbarian of a protector.
The thing I haven’t quite wrapped my head around? The fact that my mother is now living in a nudist colony up the street .And that’s not the worst of it.
Apparently, my mother has her own set of powers, she’s bumping uglies with my protector, and she won’t keep her nose out of my business.Tuesday, July 16, 2024

Good morning my peeps , I am back , yes I know I have been mia for awhile. I kind of had a bit of burn out after the reader roundup and things going on the farm. I am back with book 38 in the Haven Hollow series . SATIN SUPERSTITIONS by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain
BOOK BLURB
It's Lorcan's and my anniversary and I'm determined to make it a night to remember.
That might not sound like such a big deal, but I'm a witch, which means I haven't been trained in the art of romance. In fact, a few years ago, I wouldn't have even considered being in a relationship with a man, let alone married to one.
While I might like to put all my focus on planning the ultimate night out, something wicked this way comes in Haven Hollow. Seems someone is randomly cursing objects in town.
While I'm certainly not the type to want to involve myself in such things, the case turns personal when one of my clients is the subject of such a curse. Soon, I find myself working alongside Taliyah, our Chief of Police, as we both race against the clock to figure out whodunnit and why.

Good morning my peeps . we made it to Tuesday. Today I have book five in the Misty Hollow series . SIREN'S CALL by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain.
BOOK BLURB
I have a lot of secrets.
But one of those secrets, the one that causes me the most guilt, just got uncovered on page six of the Times Picayune newspaper.
And that secret has everything to do with my former partner, Mike Stewart—the man who accidentally heard my siren song and it made him lose his mind.
Now Mike is dead—stabbed to death in New Orleans—and I’m determined to solve his murder.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned by now, it’s that nothing in Misty Hollow is ever straightforward.
Not only am I trying to find out whodunit to bring justice to Mike, but just when things start to get a little, ahem, hot between weregator, Jean-Baptiste, and me… we get attacked.
And when I find out the attack has nothing to do with the creature in the swamp, I’ve now got two mysteries to solve.
Two mysteries that will see me reconnoitering with demons in the underground, appealing to the mercies of a surly witch, and literally facing a fate worse than death…

GOOD MORNING PEEPS
Good morning my peeps , it is Friday eve and it looks like it might be a wet weekend here . So I have all my books lined up for a weekend of reading . Today I have for you HEXES AND HOARFROST book 3i in the Haven Hollow series by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain.
BOOK BLURB
Being possessed is no walk in the park.
Especially when the roommate in your head happens to be a witch that a lot of people want dead—as in the ‘doornail’ sort of dead.
Indigo Hallewell, the witch within me, is the exact reason I very nearly met my fate once already. I was able to narrowly escape that debacle owing to my very sexy guardian, Angelo, who also happens to be an incubus.
And in case you aren’t sure what an incubus is—it’s a sex demon.
Right.
I’m literally shacked up with a sex demon. Only this one seems to have a conscience—maybe that’s the reason he hasn’t made a move on me yet.
But Angelo’s not my only guardian.
Enter Marty Zach, human and graphic designer, ghost hunter, and now the newest monster hunter recruit. Yep, Marty is what’s called a null which means magic doesn’t work on him—a good trait to have in a guardian.
As far as I’m concerned, a girl can’t have too many protectors—especially when there’s some sort of magical beast on the loose, and I’m pretty sure it’s got its sights set on me.
But that’s not even the worst of what I’m going through at the moment—no, that ignoble title is reserved for the truth I learn about Indigo and just why she’s at the top of everyone’s most wanted list.
MY REVIEW
Welcome back to the hollow , Lydia is trying to set up her new oddities shop along with Angelo but Indigo the dead witch who is sharing Lydia's body. She is having a rough time of it getting divorced, catching the eye of an incubus and now someone wants to take Lydia out because of Indigo. She needs all the help she can get between Angelo and Marty her new guardians it should be ok right . Well wrong an ice monster is making life unbearable for her and Indigo isn't helping at all. When push comes to shove the people ,super naturals , of Haven Hollow will help each other out and save the day.
Lydia and Angelo well they are like all the couples in the hollow . They know they like each other but can't let their feeling out . Lydia is a gypsy actually a distant cousin of Poppy , but she is a lot more. She is also a witch with latent powers and also possessed by a powerful witch that can help her if she wanted to. She is a sweet woman but a little naive in some ways also. Angelo is an incubus an actual sex demon but he may be sexy and alluring he does have some morals, He really likes Lydia and that is one reason he hasn't pressed her into anything, They belong together but Marty the mundane who is a null throws a kink into the plan when he come up with the fact he could be a guardian to her also. I feel for Marty he is trying to find the one for him and having no luck . He is a sweet normal guy who has had a run of bad luck . I really like Marty . He is the sweetest guy ever . The rest of the gang is also back and ready to help out .
This series and its branches are just getting funnier and funnier, I love how the authors can add new characters but keep the complexity of the original characters . You can easily fall into the ways of life in the Hollow and be part of it . The sub series of this series is Occult Oddities and this is the second book in the series . These books are just fun to read and you can read them in an evening . The characters will take you away and into a town which is more like a family then friends and keep you entertained . A great beach read for your summer .

BOOK BLURB

From then he is forced to leave his family to journey into the Land of Celestial, where he encounter's other many other spirit tamers in different class rankings from all over who too have opened the box of spirits in hopes of gaining favor for the king of creation.

Beta Creatures who are beasts that were never ready for the worlds. And of course Sins, controlled by the Unholy father, Magi whom seeks out Daniel Twist for some ominous reason.
MY REVIEW
Daniel Twist is completing his level of a spirit tamer to advance his training in becoming a soldier in an Elite group. He is force to leave his family and travel to a faraway land of Celestial where he meets other spirit tamers, who have opened the box of spirits . In hopes of getting close to the King of Creation. But like with everything there are hidden dangers and when sins start to unfold and announce themselves to Daniel. He finds himself facing Omni Spirits that make Alpha spirits look like a walk in the park. Those sins are controlled by an unholy Magi who has eyes on Daniel for some dark reason.
The characters in this book are well written . Daniel is a young man wanting to do what is right and rank up as a soldier . He is a no nonsense guy with a good head on his shoulders . He knows the difference between right and wrong but when push comes to shove With the cast of characters that come in and help Daniel out through out his training . We get to see some friends start to become family and help each other out .
This is such a good story, there is action and adventure through out the book . The author paints a picture of a time and a place where spirits are caught and tamed . Where good and bad are entwined in a way that you don't know if they are really that bad or that good . I honestly felt like it was in the same category a of another wizarding book . But this book is darker and just a little edgier. I truly enjoyed this story and want to see more from him . So if you have a teen that enjoys fantasy books , check it out for a good summer read .
