When Luke Montague was hit by a truck, courtesy of Angharad’s witch magic, I was in shock. But, when he opened his eyes and looked up at me, saying “ma minette,” I knew my life would never be the same again.
And I was right.
But, even with Drake alive again, everything isn’t daisies and roses. No, far from it.
I’m still playing puppet on a string to Guarda (ahem, zombie puppet on a string) and important artifacts are still going missing throughout New Orleans, stolen at the hands of ghostly children. As if that weren’t enough, there’s a witch terrorizing the city with wands of licorice that turn into deadly snakes.
And my sudden onslaught of dreams of the Colonial 17th century are somehow related, I’m sure. In my dreams, I’m in a garrison under attack from ghostly invaders and they’re searching for someone—someone who, in turn, is searching for me.
Yep, just another day in the life of Peyton Clark, spiritualist, medium and perpetual mess up.

Hauntingly Happy: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel by H.P. MalloryMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hauntingly Happy is book 10 in the Midlife Spirits series featuring Peyton Clark series. Picking up where book 9, Making Spirits Bright, left off, Peyton finds herself face-to-face with a very dead Luke Montague. When Luke re-animates though, the person looking back at her is decidedly not Luke. If she thought her world was crazy now, it’s about to crank up a few more notches.
The ghost children are still stealing certain artifacts from various placed around New Orleans. Mysterious women keep popping up in Peyton's dreams, visions, and life. There is no end to the weird occurrences in this book. I love the crossover into another series by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain. This installment of the series is fun, scary, and full of twists, turns, and surprises.
I love all the characters in this book. Petyon is a fantastic heroine. Drake, Maggie, Lovie, and Ryan make for a well-rounded support system for Peyton They are likable and complex. I enjoy the smooth and conversational writing style. The story is fun yet terrifying. I found this novella completely engaging, fast paced, and I couldn't put it down. The characters have grown throughout the series and the authors do a wonderful job writing them. The storylines in the book are not resolved, leaving the reader with a cliffhanger ending. I'm excited to read the next book.
