Impending tragedy and a brush with the spirit world. Has our heroine put her own mortal soul in jeopardy?
This is book three 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 but no descriptive scenes of a sexual nature.
Peyton has successfully exorcised the malevolent demonic entity from her home but will it be enough? All signs point to a sudden spike in paranormal activity throughout the town which coincides with the exorcism and it seems as though she has only two days to try and figure out how to stop tragedy from striking the town again.
The local Priestess and Warlock who helped her before are concerned and seeing no other option, they take Peyton to see a powerful Voodoo Hoodoo Priestess. Can this Priestess be trusted though? Drake, the spirit possessing Peyton, doesn’t think so and he might be right. Is Peyton getting herself too embroiled in local witchcraft and putting herself at risk? Could this Priestess have traded Peyton’s soul? If she has, what is it in exchange for?
Meanwhile, she has to come clean to Ryan about Drake possessing her. How will Ryan react and what will it mean for their fledgeling relationship?
This book has wonderfully descriptive scenes of frustrated passions, hauntings, possession and a glimpse into the ritual practices of voodoo witchcraft. This story arc ends on a dramatic note and leaves the reader itching to dive into book four, which fortunately is now published.
As ever, HP Mallory’s fluent style of writing draws the reader in. The story is well paced and makes the reader feel like they are being taken on a journey. The character development and world building are good and I find myself further invested in what happens to Peyton, Ryan and Drake.
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
Available from Amazon
