Time is running out. Peyton has the opportunity to vanquish the demon but it might cost her everything.
This is book four of Midlife Spirits, a Paranormal Women’s Fiction series of short novels from HP Mallory. The book is set in the Garden District of New Orleans, USA. There is some romantic interest and there are some mild descriptive scenes of a sexual nature.
I absolutely raced through this book. I couldn’t put it down.
A further visit to the Voodoo Hoodoo Priestess leaves Peyton’s senses fully open to the spirit world and a subsequent meeting with the mysterious and otherworldly Loa of the Dead, Baron Samedi, leads to her remembering her first session with the untrustworthy Priestess.
Peyton finds herself attempting the seemingly impossible in order to save herself and other members of the town from the impending bloodbath at the hands of the demon Axeman. To succeed she promises Baron Samedi anything he wants, which is a broad and dangerous promise to make.
While her relationship with Ryan is progressing well and she does love him, Peyton is finding herself increasingly drawn to Drake, who has become more to her than a haunting spirit residing within her body. The more she learns about Drake, the more she realises that she also loves him, despite the fact that a relationship with him will never be possible.
I love the complex dynamic of the relationship between Peyton, Ryan and Drake; how torn she is between the two men she loves and who both love her. I found myself getting increasingly invested in the story. That ending; I could feel everything Peyton was feeling, I was so drawn in. This story is well paced and beautifully crafted. I can’t wait for the next installment.
The reading order for this series is as follows:
Book 1: Afraid of the Dark
Book 2: A Ghost of a Chance
Book 3: Mischief Brewing
Book 4: Bump in the Night
