Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. She, her mom, and her cousin have formed a new and powerful coven; she’s running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she’s started mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween approaches, there’s only one problem—Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow. Wells has come to Graves Glen to re-establish his family’s connection to the town they founded as well as to make a new life for himself after years of being the dutiful son in Wales. When he opens up a shop of his own, Penhallow’s, just across the street from Something Wicked, he quickly learns he’s gotten more than he bargained for in this witchy shop rivalry. When their professional competition leads to a very personal—and very hot—kiss, both Wells and Gwyn are determined to stay away from each other, convinced the kiss was just a magical fluke. But when a mysterious new coven of witches come to town and Gwyn’s powers begin fading, she and Wells must work together to figure out just what these new witches want and how to restore Gwyn’s magic before it’s too late in this magical second chance romance.

Unfortunately, normalcy is a luxury I can't afford as a lowly human born into a powerful supernatural family embroiled in magic. They've always been quick to remind me that I have an expiration date. Imagine everyone's surprise when it’s me standing above their graves, not the other way around. The fire that took their lives wasn't my fault, yet everyone is blaming me, especially the vampires. Now I have a target on my back and a bounty on my head. Without the protection of my family, I’m caught up in a tangled web of supernatural dynasties and arcane power struggles. So when a handsome stranger and his young daughter take pity on me and offer me a ride, I don’t say no. It’s a mistake. One I hope doesn’t cost us all our lives.

The moment her husband returns to the capital, the house turns against Beatriz — cold spots, voices, red eyes in the dark, and dreams that leave marks.

As strange events accumulate around Taylor, it becomes clear that the island sits on a fault line between older forces.\n\nThe book leans on the familiar furniture of YA paranormal romance: the outsider heroine, the wealthy and secretive love interest, a small town with a hidden order beneath it.

She has her own reason for being there — a missing friend, a debt she means to repay — and she is prepared to lie to everyone, including the wolf now watching her every move. The trouble is that Lowe sees more than she expects, and the longer she stays inside his territory, the harder it becomes to tell strategy from feeling.\n\nThe first book in Ali Hazelwood's paranormal Bride series, this is a fated-mates romance wrapped around vampire-and-werewolf politics: sharp banter, slow-building heat, and a heroine who trusts no one. It trades Hazelwood's usual STEM settings for a supernatural world without losing her signature voice.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkc5sfepp075wr9d80g5yj9d.jpg","LHG8yM_2009F9ZtQ~qxu8_M{%M%M","4.17",12,401,[1146],{"id":1147,"slug":1148,"name":1149},"01kjq7eft1103spcym1x8024nz","ali-hazelwood-sext","Ali Hazelwood",[1151,1152,1153,1154,1155,1156],{"id":43,"name":44,"slug":45,"is_fiction":21},{"id":47,"name":48,"slug":49,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":21},{"id":59,"name":60,"slug":61,"is_fiction":21},{"id":281,"name":282,"slug":283,"is_fiction":21},{"id":39,"name":40,"slug":41,"is_fiction":21},[1158],{"id":1159,"slug":1160,"name":1161,"position":208,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kwevcff2mt15gba2p1dc3zeq","the-bride-fhia","The Bride",{"pace":121,"complexity":7,"audience":122,"mood":1163,"themes":1164,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[217,125,166],[1165,320],"marriage-of-convenience",{"id":1167,"slug":1168,"title":1169,"description":1170,"primary_cover_url":1171,"cover_blurhash":1172,"first_publish_year":646,"community_rating_avg":1173,"community_rating_count":534,"page_count":1174,"authors":1175,"genres":1184,"series":1193,"enrichment":1198},"01kjsvte05p7pdh5kw34eq70yb","from-blood-and-ash-n2cy","From Blood and Ash","Chosen from birth, Penellaphe — known to the kingdom of Solis only as the Maiden — has spent her life in isolation, forbidden to be touched, to speak unless spoken to, or to look anyone in the eye. She waits, veiled and guarded, for the day of her Ascension, a sacred rite that will supposedly lift her people closer to the gods. But Poppy is restless, curious, and desperate for a taste of the life she has been denied.\n\nWhen Hawke, a charming and lethal guard, is assigned to protect her, the careful walls around Poppy's world begin to crack. Their forbidden attraction pulls her toward everything she is supposed to resist — and as the bloodthirsty Craven threaten Solis and the truth behind the Ascension begins to surface, Poppy must decide how much of what she has been taught is a lie, and how much she is willing to risk to be free.\n\nThe opening book of Jennifer L. Armentrout's runaway-bestselling Blood and Ash series, this is fast-paced, high-heat fantasy romance built on a forbidden guard-and-charge romance, a richly drawn kingdom, and secrets that reshape everything Poppy thought she knew.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz3qd18j2pzmsngg55dwrmx.jpg","L27m{Uo#4TR*^*E1M{KO9u$jtQ+^","4.38",493,[1176,1180],{"id":1177,"slug":1178,"name":1179},"01kjsvte1tzz926kq5mwjpr06m","jennifer-l-armentrout-dzs2","Jennifer L.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Bloodlust Curse, the third book in the Charley Underwood series, delivered another captivating cozy paranormal mystery. Once again, readers are transported to the town of Crimson, where they have another opportunity to hang out with Charley and friends.\n\nAh! I had a blast returning to Crimson Town. Just when one believes things in this town couldn't get stranger, someone leaves a macabre package on Charley's front step. The contents of the package led to the discovery that someone was murdering witches. With that knowledge, it was clear that Charley's life was also in danger. The question among the crew was who left the package and why?\n\nBloodlust Curse dove deeper into Charley's past and her heritage. The revelations were shocking. It also showed her gaining control of her powers, which have grown more potent.\n\nFirst there is her romantic relationship with the mysterious vampire Samuel. I loved how he went out of his way to protect her, not that she needed it. Now not much is mentioned about his past but it's clear he is hiding something. It appears, however, that his secrets will not remain hidden for long. Also, there is Beau, her bartender, and a friend who attempts to navigate the recent and not so welcome changes in his life.\n\nIan Masterton another vampire who happens to be a thorn in their sides. He does serve his purpose, even though his actions may be a bit self-serving. He also brings some humor to the story.\n\nAction and suspense filled the pages of Bloodlust Curse as Charley and the crew searched for answers. The truth when revealed was shocking and hard to bear, but Charley never wavered in her bid to end the terror and put away the source behind it. However, the final threads relating to the case at hand were underwhelming. However, the ending came with a surprise that paved the path of the next installment.\n\nReaders who enjoy urban fantasy featuring a kickass witch will love the Charley Underwood series.\nThis review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxpq1cztxwbs65tp1bxyhz34",[],"2026-07-17T00:18:50.000000Z"]
