Missing children and an unexpected magical alliance.
This is the second book in the Poppy’s Potions series. It’s another really enjoyable collaboration between HP Mallory and JR Rain. I first read this book in February 2021.
The book falls in the Paranormal Women’s Fiction genre and although there’s a little romance, there are no adult scenes and romance is not the main focus of this book.
We find ourselves back in Haven Hollow, USA following the increasingly complex and magical life of Poppy, a 40-something year old human descendant of Scottish Travellers. Poppy is just settling into small town life with her new boyfriend when a series of mysterious events turns her life upside down. Children are going missing and Poppy must join forces with the town’s resident witch, a traditional adversary of gypsies and travellers, to try and find them.
HP Mallory and JR Rain write well together, which makes for a smooth flowing story which is interesting and easy to become immersed in. The characters are developing well and Poppy is very down to earth and relatable. There is a fairly large cast of characters which cross over between this series and the Wanda’s Witchery series, which run parallel to each other, set in the same town. If you haven’t already read Gypsy Magic (Poppy’s Potions, Book One) and Cashmere Curses (Wanda’s Witchery, Book One), then I’d recommend reading both those books first.
I read this book in one sitting and really enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to the next books in both series.
Available from Amazon.
