Taffeta Trickery - Wanda's Witchery (Haven Hollow, Book 7) : HP Mallory & JR Rain

A blast from the past to destroy Wanda’s future. Time is running out to break her curse.

This is the fourth Wanda’s Witchery book and the seventh in the Haven Hollow series. It is a collaboration between HP Mallory and JR Rain. The book falls in the Paranormal Women’s Fiction genre and although there’s the potential for romance, there are no scenes of a sexual nature.

The Haven Hollow stories (Wanda’s Witchery and Poppy’s Potions) are a joy to read. HP Mallory and JR Rain work really well together; their writing flows well and really draws you in. The stories are fun, interesting and well paced. The characters are well developed and continue to grow with each book. Wanda is a moody witch and Poppy is a Gypsy who seems to nurture and mother everyone, including the reluctant Wanda. Their friendship is unexpected; it goes against all the rules of the supernatural and yet it works.

As if her life wasn’t chaotic enough, Wanda seems to have drawn the ire of a mysterious magical being. Despite all of her magical protections, someone is breaking into her shop on a regular basis and they are trying to destroy her business. At the same time, she has to deal with the worst of all Bridezillas, attend a wedding she has no interest in attending, break the curse which has transformed her into a blood witch and deal with her increasing and undeniable attraction to Lorcan, which goes against all of her instincts. 

Wanda’s status as a blood witch still carries the death sentence and the month the vampires granted her to break the curse one way or another is almost up; the spells she is trying aren’t working and she is running out of options. The break-ins and attacks on her business are having an impact and if she wants to remain in Haven’s Hollow, she needs to get to the bottom of who, or what, is doing this. The answer will surprise everyone. 

I am really looking forward to the next book. I want to see if she can break her curse. I want to know if her attraction to Lorcan is due to the curse or because they are meant to be together. I loved the end of this book and I want to know where Wanda’s journey will go from here.
