#NewRlease #BookReview ~ Crepe Capers: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel: (Wanda's Witchery, Book 11) (Haven Hollow, Book 46) by J.R. Rain and H.P. Mallory #PWF

 

Crepe Capers
Wanda's Witchery, Book 11
Haven Hollow, Book 46



About the Book:

If there’s one thing I’ve learned as Haven Hollow’s High Witch, it’s this: when life gets weird, it usually means someone cursed something.

And lately? Things are getting very weird.

It started with a simple package delivered to my shop, Wanda’s Witchery. Inside were two rings—one for me and one for my cousin Astrid. I thought they were a sweet surprise.

Turns out they were a curse.

Now Astrid has her humanity back… and I’ve been turned into the very thing I’ve spent my life fighting.

A vampire.

No heartbeat. No magic. And an overwhelming craving for blood that I’m trying very hard not to indulge—especially when it comes to my annoyingly attractive vampire husband, Lorcan.

But becoming undead is only the beginning of my problems.

Someone hired private investigators to spy on me. The vampire establishment is starting to question whether my “turning” was real. And if they discover the truth about the lie that kept me alive, they won’t just be angry.

They’ll kill me.

As if that weren’t enough, the cursed rings may be connected to a terrifying entity using my cousin as a pawn—a creature powerful enough to rewrite magic itself.

Which means my sudden transformation might not be an accident.

It might be a move in someone else’s game.

Now I have to figure out who’s behind the curse, why they targeted us, and how to survive vampire politics without losing the town—and the life—I love.

Because I may be undead now…

…but I’m still Wanda Depraysie.

And if someone thinks turning me into a vampire is going to stop me from solving this mystery, they clearly don’t know witches very well.


My Review:

Crepe Capers is book 11 in the Wanda’s Witchery series, a spin-off of, and book 46 in the Haven Hollow series. Things are really crazy in Haven Hollow in this book. A PI has been hired to catch Wanda being less than truthful in her turning into a vampire. With fortuitous timing, Wanda and Astrid fall victim to a pair of cursed rings that swap them; Astrid becomes mortal and Wanda becomes a vampire. A blast from Lorcan’s past turns up, causing mayhem. The final straw? The same being using Maverick as a pawn in whatever game is being played, has now contacted Wanda with an incredible, but totally unhinged, offer.

Crepe Capers is another fantastic and fun novel in the Haven Hollow series. I love Wanda, Lorcan, and the entire crew. We don’t get a whole lot of the other Haven Hollows characters in this book but buckle up for a wild ride with those we do get to see. I loved the story, characters, setting, and writing.

The Wanda's Witchery series by J.R. Rain and H.P. Mallory is excellent. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters grow and evolve.

#Review ~ Dead Reckoning: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Gwen's Ghosts, Book 5) by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain

 

Dead Reckoning 
Gwen's Ghosts, Book 5
by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain

ASIN: ‎ B0C4R3KDYZ
Publisher: ‎ Rain Press (August 16, 2023)
Publication Date: ‎ August 16, 2023
Print Length: ‎ 167 pages

A paranormal women’s fiction ghost mystery series from HP Mallory and JR Rain, authors of the Haven Hollow Series!

Not wanting to pay any attention to my messy love life (I’ve got not one man vying for my attentions, but two!), I’m happy to put all my focus into my newest case…

Hugo Williams, one of Morley-on-Avon’s residents and an employee at the antique shop, has gone missing.

Or has he simply gone on vacation? By the fact that he packed a bag before he disappeared, it’s a little unclear.

Yet his girlfriend, Fiona, swears there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark… Or England, as the case may be.

After doing a little snooping (with the help of my ghostly friend, Petra), I’m starting to agree with her.

And that’s the absolute last thing Inspector Lean wants to hear—seeing as how I’ve already been involved in every mystery in Morley since I arrived here.

To make a sticky situation even stickier? I have a feeling the culprit might be none other than Fiona’s father…

My Review:

Dead Reckoning is book 5 in the Gwen's Ghosts series.

Dead Reckoning is another great book in the Gwen’s Ghosts series. Full of twists and turns Gwen continues her investigation in locating a missing man. The police still don’t believe he’s missing, but Gwen’s affinity for seeing ghosts proves otherwise. The mystery is unique, and the authors are developing Gwen’s world well. I was engaged from the very beginning.

I enjoyed every single thing about this story. The setting is simple yet perfect for the story being told. The characters are three-dimensional, interesting, and written well. I'm excited to see where these extraordinary authors take us in the next book.

About the Book:

After waking up with a could-be killer in my bed, I’m understandably panicked.

And that panic only increases when I realize Bastian realizes there’s something off about me.

I need to get this guy out of my house (and probably my life) pronto!

Yet it doesn’t seem things are going to be quite so easy.

And while what few clues there are point to Bastian, I can’t help but feel like he’s innocent—or is that just wishful thinking on my part since I sort of like him?

Whatever my reasons, I’m now determined to find Victoria’s killer—whether that killer is Bastian or not.

But what I’m not planning on is finding myself breaking and entering, hiding from the police, and the worst shock of all?

Meeting Leo’s wife…

Please Note: This is a novella series, so each book is a faster read!


My Review:

Dead and Gone is heart-stopping and full of twists and turns. The mystery is unique and the authors are developing it well. I was engaged from the very beginning. Gwen finds herself possibly in bed with a killer. She takes it upon herself to use her status as a mystery writer to insert herself into the town's gossip mill. Gwen wants to find out as much as she can about Victoria in hopes it will help reveal who may have wanted her dead.

I enjoyed every single thing about this story. The setting is simple yet perfect for the story being told. The characters are three-dimensional, interesting, and written well. I'm excited to see where these extraordinary authors take us in the next book.

This novella ends on a mild cliffhanger so be prepared.

#ParanormalWomensFiction #Review ~ Mermaid Mayhem (Eerie Investigations) (Misty Hollow Book 1) by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain #Mermaid #Vampire #HPMallory #JRRain

 


Book Details:

ASIN: ‎ B0B7Z8MS26
Publisher: ‎ Rain Press (March 17, 2023)
Publication Date: ‎ March 17, 2023
Print Length: ‎ 241 pages


Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62696354-mermaid-mayhem

About the Book:

My name is Marina Estuary, and I’m a mermaid.

Actually, I’m a lot more than a mermaid—I’m a siren, but I have to keep that little tidbit on the down-low. Why? Because anyone who hears the song of the siren will either lose their mind or become desperately in love with me.

That’s usually a buzzkill to most people.

Anyway, not only am I a siren-in-hiding, but I’m also a private investigator. And I’ve been called to the newest of the supernatural hollows, Misty Hollow, to investigate the disappearance of three women.

Not only did the women go missing from the blossoming hollow (which is more like an old west 

boomtown dropped into the middle of a Louisiana swamp), but the facts behind their disappearance are hazy at best.

I’m not entirely sure that the quick-talking, devious and secretive vampire mayor of Misty Hollow, Alistair Beaumont, didn’t have something to do with it.

Or could the truth lie with the unfriendly leader of the weregator community, Jean-Baptiste, a man as surly as he is sexy?

Good thing for me that I’m an expert at unearthing truths that don’t want to be unearthed…

My Review:

Mermaid Mayhem is the first book in the new Misty Hollows series by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain. While Misty Hollows is a spin-off of the wonderful writing duo’s Haven Hollows series, the setting, characters, and shenanigans are vastly different.

Misty Hollows is set in Louisianna and still under construction. Our main character is a mermaid who’s running from her past while trying to keep her true identity a secret. I love her spunk and how different she is from characters in Haven Hollow. In fact, all the characters in Misty Hollow are different, unusual, and fun.

The writing duo of H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain bring interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.

Dance With the Dead (Gwen's Ghosts, Book 1) by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain ~ A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novella #PWF #Paranormal #Review

 

ASIN: ‎ B0BXBK6L5Z
Publisher: ‎ Rain Press
Publication Date: ‎ March 1, 2023
Print Length: ‎ 156 pages

Goodreads:  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123180573-dance-with-the-dead

About the Book:

From the time I was eight years old, I could see ghosts.

One ghost in particular occupied most of my attention: Petra Shearwater.

That was mostly because Petra decided to become my forever tagalong, traveling with me from the small, English country town of Morley-on-Avon, where she’d died, to the bustling cosmopolitan city of The Big Apple.

Now, thirty-four years later, as a mystery novelist just out of a lackluster fifteen-year relationship, I’m in need of a new start and some inspiration for a new book.

So, I find myself setting off for the one town that captured my interest all those years ago: Morley-on-Avon.

And, yes, Petra is along for the ride.

Now at the fresh age of forty-two, I’m looking for a new start, a new book, and even new love—something I’m hoping to find with the local blacksmith named Leo.

Leo seems to be all contradictions: hulking but shy, soft-spoken yet enormous, boyish yet in his mid-forties.

What I’m not planning on, however, is that the little cottage I’ve moved into, called Bluebells, is haunted!

And I’m fairly sure that the ghost haunting it, Victoria Willis, is trying to tell me something about her death… a death I’m not convinced was an accident, as all the Morley locals might like me to believe…

Please Note: This is a novella series, so each book is a faster read!

My Review:

Dance with the Dead is heartstopping and full of twists and turns. The mystery is unique and the authors are developing it well. I was engaged from the very beginning while learning about how Gwen met Petra, a small amount of New York backstory, and how they ended up back in England.

I enjoyed every single thing about this story. The setting is simple yet perfect for the story being told. The characters are three-dimensional, interesting, and written well. I'm excited to see where these extraordinary authors take us in book two.

This novella ends on a cliffhanger so be prepared.

#Review ~ Blood Rose: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel: (Blood Rose Academy) (Haven Hollow Book 26) by J.R. Rain and H.P. Mallory #JRRain #HPMallory #PWF #ParanormalWomensFiction

Print Length: ‎ 205 pages

Amazon: https://amzn.to/3XmMkQx
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/87569314-blood-rose

About the Book:

I’m finally going to Blood Rose Academy, where I’ll be trained in witch magic, and I can’t wait…

Except Blood Rose Academy isn’t exactly how I hoped it would be.

First off, the witches are all catty and hex-happy, and I’ve been targeted as their newest victim.

And if that weren’t bad enough, there’s a longstanding feud between the witches and the vampires, which means all vampires hate the witches and vice-versa.

Maybe that wouldn’t suck so hard (no pun intended) if I didn’t sorta, kinda have a crush on one of the vamps—a loner named Rook, who happens to be the headmaster’s son.

But Rook doesn’t even know I exist. Well… it’s actually worse: he does know I exist, but he’s made it pretty clear he can’t stand me.

Fun times!

The ‘fun’ only increases when I learn that a handful of Fae students have gone missing and my only friend, a faerie named Oleander, insists there’s foul play.

Suddenly recruited into a club of rebels, I find myself helping them to solve the mystery of the missing students.

And guess who happens to be in this club?

Right—Rook.

To say he’s unhappy to see me is an understatement. Now, if I could just train my wayward heart to get over him… things might start looking up.

Between battling my own kind, trying to keep from getting drained by the vamps, searching for the missing students, and uncovering my own shocking truths, I’m wondering if I should have just stayed home.

My Review:

I have loved the Haven Hollow series since book one. Full of wonderful characters, excellent storylines, and a perfectly created setting, I immerse myself in each and every book. There are multiple spin-offs that focus on one of the main characters, and Blood Rose is told from Astrid's POV. She finally gets to go to Blood Rose Academy to be properly trained in witch magic. Astrid's world comes crashing down when she realizes the Academy isn't at all what she had hope it would be. She is on the end of a lot of hazing, and right in the middle of a feud between the witches and the vampires. Learning about missing Fae just adds to her misery. 

Astrid's book is by far one of my absolute favorites in the series. I love them all but Blood Rose was
exceptional. I love Astrid's character and love that she got her own spin-off. Astrid is a wonderfully written character. She's so likable and her attitude and personality is so different than the witches at Blood Rose. I'm excited to see how everything goes in the next book. Blood Rose left a lot of things hanging.

The series also just continues to get better and better with every story. Blood Rose is the first book in the Blood Rose Academy series (and book 26 in the Haven Hollow series) by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.

Book #Review ~ Day Dream: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel: (Remarkable Remedies, Book 6) (Haven Hollow, Book 21) by J.R. Rain and H.P. Mallory @HPMallory #PWF

 


ASIN: ‎ B09JMCWV38

Publication Date: ‎ September 16, 2022
Print Length: ‎ 215 pages


Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60597452-day-dream-remarkable-remedies-6

About the Book:

I’ve just moved to the legendary Haven Hollow to start the next chapter of my life…

My name is Sydney Blackstone, better known as The Sandman.

After losing my wife two years ago and getting lost in grief ever since, I decided I needed to start over.

So, I find myself in Haven Hollow, where I plan to open my own mattress store, Sandman Syd’s.

Almost as soon as I move to Haven Hollow, though, I realize my work is cut out for me—someone is having not only bad dreams but dangerous ones.

As the Sandman, it’s my responsibility to relieve this sleeper of whatever night terror is after them.

Little do I know the culprit is the infamous Jormungandr, the legendary serpent from Midgard.

With such a powerful predator on the loose, I don’t have much time to ensure the citizens of Haven Hollow are safe and, more pointedly, one citizen in particular: Bailey Bennett.

At the moment Bailey, a psychic from Spook Society, walks through my door, I have a feeling she won’t be walking out anytime soon.

As long as I can keep her safe, that is…

My Review:

Day Dream is Book 6 in the Remarkable Remedies series and Book 21 in the Haven Hollows series. Following newcomer Sydney Blackstone, aka Sandman Syd, Day Dream almost seems like a standalone in both of the forementioned series'. The story focuses on more of the secondary characters as Syd tries to settle into his new life in Haven Hollow. Very different storytelling in Day Dream but yet completely intertwined in the Haven Hollow setting. 

I enjoyed Day Dream, learning about Syd, and following his integration into Haven Hollow. Day Dream is another fantastic and fun novel in the Remarkable Remedies/Haven Hollow series. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.

About the Book:

Lookout, Dr. Frankenstein, because here comes Wanda Depraysie…

It’s not as though I meant to create a life.

I didn’t, but that life is still here, all the same.

And the worst part? I created it with… sigh… my detested cousin, Maverick.

Now, before you think I’m a double-timing, good-for-nothing witch, I’m not.

It was all an accident. Swear.

And the even craziest part? This little mixup isn’t even the worst thing that’s happened to me this week.

No, that award goes to the invitation I receive to my own funeral—a party sponsored by the leader of the vampires, Rupert, featuring me as the guest of honor.

Should be fun.

Review & Rating:

Angora Alchemy (Wanda's Witchery, #6) (Haven Hollow, #21)

Angora Alchemy (Wanda's Witchery, #6) by J.R. Rain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wanda has had a heck of a week. She brings something else to life (because the ghost and zombie weren’t enough) and it involves not only her magic but Maverick’s, too. Then, she received an invitation to Rupert’s lair and it’s not one she can decline. Looks like Wanda may become a vampire, after all.

Angora Alchemy is another fantastic and fun novel in the Haven Hollow series. I love Wanda and her motley crew. They aren’t your typical coven but that’s what makes them all so incredible. I was fully engaged in Angora Alchemy. I loved the story, characters, setting, and writing.

The Wanda's Witchery series by J.R. Rain and H.P. Mallory is excellent. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.

Paranormal Women's Fiction #Review ~ The Broken Mirror (Haven Hollow #13) (Remarkable Remedies #1) by J.R. Rain and H.P. Mallory #PWF @HPMallory

 

When Poppy accidentally breaks her bedroom mirror, she has no idea the bad luck she’s in for!

With just about everything going wrong, Poppy’s first order of business is to reverse the curse of the broken mirror ASAP! Unfortunately for her, though, that’s not quite how the cosmos work.

Saddled with a serious case of misfortune, imagine Poppy’s surprise when one of her clients walks into her store with yet another mirror! This one isn’t cursed, though.

It’s haunted.

The ghost of the woman stuck inside the mirror appears to be from pioneer times, and as she yells in silent horror and pounds against the glass, it’s pretty clear she wants out.

But just how does one free a ghost from a mirror?

Poppy’s about to find out… the hard way.

The Broken Mirror (Haven Hollow #) (Remarkable Remedies #1)The Broken Mirror (Haven Hollow #) by J.R. Rain
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Broken Mirror is the 13th book (fitting, I think) in the Haven Hollow series, but it’s also book 1 in the Remarkable Remedies spin-off. I love all the different books in the same world. In this book, Poppy’s day starts off incredibly bad. She breaks a mirror in her rush to get moving in the morning and her luck snowballs from there. When she discovers the 7-years-of-bad-luck curse if real and she’s living proof, she knows she must figure out how to break the curse.

In the middle of her crisis, a new customer seeks Poppy out for assistance. It would appear she purchased an antique mirror at a local estate sale that might just be haunted. Poppy is curious and when she inspects the mirror – yes, indeed, the mirror is haunted. A woman is trapped inside, reliving whatever horror trapped her in the first place. Poppy sure is going to be busy in The Broken Mirror.

The Broken Mirror is another fantastic and fun novel in the Haven Hollow series. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.

Paranormal Women's Fiction Book Review ~ A Ghost of a Chance (Midlife Spirits #2) by H.P. Mallory @HPMallory ~ #PWF #PNR

 


Living in a haunted house is going to be the death of me…
Potentially literally.

In an attempt to cleanse whatever entity Trina and I let into my house after our bout with a Ouija board, things have only gotten worse.

When the entity begins to sap Drake’s strength, I realize I have to do something, and that something needs to be done now…

While Drake does drive me crazy with his pretentious airs, his womanizing ways, and his jealousy, the idea of coming home to an empty house leaves me feeling… well, empty. Yes, it’s true—I’m pretty fond of my ghostly Casanova.

Meanwhile, whatever this entity is, it’s getting stronger and more aggressive. It appears to be mimicking the attacks of the Axeman, a murderer who terrorized New Orleans over one hundred years earlier.

And there’s only so much Ryan can do to help me, considering he’s corporeal.

When forced to make a decision to protect Drake, I’ll face a consequence that could put my blossoming relationship with Ryan on a forever hold.

My Review:

After Trina’s experiment with an Ouija board in Peyton’s newly inherited home let something sinister in, it’s time for Peyton to figure out how to remove the entity. Peyton heads to the only place she knows may be able to help – the local voodoo shop. With absolutely no experience and little assistance from the shop employee, Peyton embarks on the quest to cleanse her home. Except, Trina pops in right before Peyton and Ryan being the cleanse. Now, the entity is even more aggressive and Drake, her resident ghost, is no longer safe, and neither is she. It’s time to hit the heavies and the only thing Peyton can do to save Drake, is drastic and may hinder any potential relationship with Ryan indefinitely.

A Ghost of Chance is fun, romantic, intense, and scary. A lot goes on this book between Peyton and the entity, Peyton and Drake, and Peyton and Ryan. I love Peyton. She's fun, interesting, and her chemistry with Ryan is off the charts. Her relationship with Drake is flirty, fun, and dreamy, although a bit intense in this story. The continuation of the long-ago murder mystery and how it’s woven into book 2 is interesting. I found the book completely engaging, fast paced, and I couldn't put it down. I'm excited to read the next book.

Paranormal Women's Fiction Review ~ Spandex Sorcery (Wanda's Witchery, Book 2) by J.R. Rain & H.P. Mallory @HPMallory #PNR #PWF

 


A Haven Hollow Novel

Lorcan and I continue to attempt a spell that will return his vampire “kiss” and return me to the witch I once was, but the spell keeps failing.

To make matters worse, Lorcan is getting heat from the head vampire of his line, Rupert. Rupert wants Lorcan to either fully blood me or kill me. And while I’m not a fan of growing fangs, I’m really not a fan of growing worms.

When a stranger, who introduces himself as ‘Dev’, walks into my shop, and I suddenly start acting like a lovesick schoolgirl, I’m fairly sure magic is to blame.

Dev is definitely something supernatural, but I’m not sure what. All I do know is that he makes me feel alive in a very...carnal way. Soon, I’m having dreams that become a reality and I find myself getting more and more confused as to what’s real life and what isn’t.

One thing I do know is that I have to get to the bottom of Dev’s appearance in Haven Hollow and, more specifically, what he wants from me. Because it’s becoming pretty apparent that if he doesn’t want something from me, then he definitely just wants me…

My Review:

Demon in Denim is the third book in the Wanda’s Witchery series, set in the Haven Hollow world.
Wanda is half-witch and half-vampire, affectionately known as a blood witch. Having been cast out of her coven after being turned by Lorcan, she finds solace in the supernatural town of Haven Hollow. This book finds Wanda’s powers continuing to grow wildly out of control and now her dreams are becoming realities, very unpleasant realities. That's not even the half of Wanda's troubles.

A stranger waltzes into town, focused on Wanda. He's handsome, seductive, and has bewitched Wanda. Parts of her that have been dormant are beginning to come alive. Her libido is growing ever so out of control. Dev has some sort of supernatural power and Wanda can't figure out what it is. All she knows is the sight or very presence of Dev turns her into someone she doesn't recognize. Between the horrible and alive dreams, and her increased sexual awareness, Wanda is on the edge of either being arrested or turned into a vampire - neither of which are activities she currently has included on her bucket list.

It's time to bring in her backup and discover who Dev is, what he wants, and how he's able to manipulate her mind. When things get really bad, Wanda has to bring the heavies and hope they aid her instead of banishing or killing her. She hopes it doesn't come to either one of those last options. She quick likes the life she's created in Haven Hollow.

Demon in Denim is another fantastic and fun novel in the Haven Hollow series. Wanda's character is great. She acts tough and unfeeling but it’s just an act, one engrained in her since she was child in the coven. Even though it’s how she was raised to be, her character learns to relax a little in her new home. This book brings out even more of Wanda and we see a completely different side of her. Lorcan's character plays a huge and fantastic role in the story. I really enjoyed him, even when he was obsessing over Wanda. Many of the characters from the Poppy's Potions series make an appearance in Demon in Denim since both series' are set in the same town of Haven Hollow. I love the dual settings in Wanda's Witchery and Poppy's Potions. Completely different stories and points-of-view but with identical characters and setting.

The Wanda's Witchery series by H.P. Mallory and J.R. Rain is excellent. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.
