Something wicked this way comes.
This novella is the first Remarkable Remedies book and the 10th 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. In this book there is no romance or scenes of a sexual nature. As the name suggests, this book is set at Halloween.
This series gets better and better. I really enjoy it. Secondary characters are being brought forward and given their own voices, which allows us to see life in the Hollow from new perspectives. As always, the collaboration between HP Mallory and JR Rain works really well. The writing is easy to read, the story moves at a good pace and the characters are well developed.
This book is told from the perspective of Astrid, Wanda’s 16 year old niece who was also banished from their former coven for defending Wanda and now lives with her aunt full time. Samhain is the biggest celebration in the Witches' calendar; Astrid is homesick for the festivities she grew up with and is struggling to adapt to the Halloween customs followed by humans in America. During her moping, she gets a surprise call from her estranged brother, Maverick; a Warlock who was previously banished from Haven Hollow after challenging Wanda and losing the right to claim sanctum. The offer of meeting up with him to celebrate the season like she used to is too great a temptation, even though Astrid knows Maverick isn't really to be trusted.
What follows is a series of mishaps, engineered by Maverick, which result in Astrid accidentally hexing Wanda and putting all their positions in the hollow at risk. How is she going to get herself and Wanda out of this? She’s a young witch, still in training. Nothing has prepared her for this.
