Ruling by fear, the new master vampire is throwing her fangs and strength around. It is up to Rachel and her friends to save the city from itself again. Okay, this is the Rachel I know and love. I don't know what was going on in the last book, but glad it is not crossing over. Still, the lack of Ivy and Al was a downer. Still a great addition to the series....more

Why did it take me so long to read this wonderful book? It has history, mystery, horror, suspense, creepy cutout dolls, and a silent evil child. Soon Why did it take me so long to read this wonderful book? It has history, mystery, horror, suspense, creepy cutout dolls, and a silent evil child. Soon as the companions entered the story, I was beyond scared. Why? I hate dolls. I hate anything that resembles dolls. Those weird staring eyes and painted faces. Just no. My oldest daughter terrorized me with her model wooden doll as a teenager until it mysterious caught on fire.
Did I know what was going to happen at the end? Yep, I pretty much guessed it. However, I didn't care. I was so involved in the story and these characters, I wanted more. Poor Anne created a monster that cursed her own family, didn't she? Highly recommend. Seriously go now!...more
I love me a good historical witches tale. Especially when the mention of the Salem Witch Trials has something loosely do with the background story. ItI love me a good historical witches tale. Especially when the mention of the Salem Witch Trials has something loosely do with the background story. It is told in two timelines, Margaret a witch in the 1800s and her descendant Augusta in the present day.
Margaret Harlowe, the only daughter from a well off family, has always been different. Different from her family and the townspeople. She has the power of witchcraft and uses it to help women in secret. She falls in love with a pretty boy with pretty words who breaks her heart. So what do you do when your heart is broken and the need for revenge takes you over? Apparently, you spend 150 years waiting around for your blood relative, so you can steal their soul.
Augusta in the present day has settled for a "safe" life. She is never one to make a fuss and just goes with the flow. Until she gets a new job at the historical Harlowe House. Strange things began happening to her. She is haunted by a spirit named Margaret and her story. Little does she know, Maraget as a plan for her descendant.
It is a story of love, betrayal, obsession and revenge. Definitely a great witching book. Recommend reading within a salt circle....more

The scriptures are the rules to live by. Immanuelle Moore was born into this world after her mother died giving birth to her after running off into the Darkwoods. Her father being burnt on the pyre for his sins, she is left to the mercy of her family. All her life she has been told to stay out of the Darkwood, the forest surrounding the city, where evil and the souls of the witches live. Years later, Immanuelle is lured into the woods, starting a bloody chain of plaques onto the land. She has to find a way to stop the plaques and the prophet before it is too late.
I hated the ending of this book. That is why it only got four stars. Immanuelle is better than I. I would have left all their butts to die. I am petty like that. I might have saved my man depending on how I felt about that day....more

Usually a horror, gothic novel is right up my alley. However, Jane got on my last nerve. One minute she claims to be indifferent. The next, she is a lovesick teenager panting over the good doctor. Then the belief that someone is going to go the miles she did to save a man she knew less than a week is unbelievable. I can ignore plot holes, but give a girl a break here. The ending makes zero sense and I refuse to reread it. This book tried to be too many things at once. It is all over the place. Major disappointment for me....more
Helen and Nate purchase forty-four acres of rural land to build the home of their dreams. Little do they know the land has a dark past. Their neighborHelen and Nate purchase forty-four acres of rural land to build the home of their dreams. Little do they know the land has a dark past. Their neighbor, 14-year-old Olive, knows all about the past and soon becomes a fixture at the house. Reeling from her mother abandoning her, Olive is trying to find her own answers.
Helen, a history teacher, quickly falls down the rabbit hole to discover the secrets of Hattie, the witch that resided and was hung on the land. Along the way the spirit of Hattie leads Helen to building materials-a beam from an old schoolroom, bricks from a mill, a mantel from a farmhouse--objects that draw her deeper into the story of Hattie and her descendants, three generations of Breckenridge women, each of whom died suspiciously. Piece by piece, the dark history is revealed.
Soon both Helen's and Olive's stories will intertwine, proving sometimes history needs to remain buried....more

One nigBilly Halleck living his best obese life, has it pretty good. He has a somewhat good marriage, a wonderful daughter, and a career as a lawyer. One night driving home his wife decides to play spank the monkey with him resulting with hitting and killing an elderly woman from a Romani family. Billy avoids being charged with manslaughter thanks to friends in high places. Lempke, the ancient father of the woman, places a curse on Billy by touching his cheek and whispering, "Thinner." The next few days finds Billy losing weight at an alarming rate. In fact Billy can't stop shedding the pounds no matter how much he eats. There are a lot of stereotypes flying around on both sides. A few gave me a good chuckle. Especially the curse of the white man from town.
