The first box set of this fantastic series, full of the supernatural, the spooky and the scary.
This is the first box set for the Midlife Spirits series and contains books 1-3: Afraid of the Dark, A Ghost of a Chance, and Mischief Brewing. The books are set in modern day New Orleans. I know I've reviewed all of these as individual novels but they have just been released as a box set and I love them so much, I thought I'd shout about it.
The books are written in HP Mallory’s usual easy to read and fluent style. The stories are well paced and make the reader feel like they are being taken on a journey. The character development and world building are very good; all the characters are interesting, relatable and have depth. You want to get to know them and their journeys.
I love this series. It follows the life of Peyton Clark, a 40-something recently divorced woman who inherits an old Antebellum house in the Garden District of New Orleans. For Peyton, this is a sign that she can start afresh, 2000 miles away from her abusive ex. Her new life introduces her to Ryan, her neighbour who is a potential new love interest, as well as Drake, the ghost of a former police officer who haunts her house and her dreams.
The stories are full of the supernatural; ghosts, malevolent entities, witches, warlocks and voodoo priestesses. The books have wonderfully descriptive scenes of frustrated passions, hauntings, possession and a glimpse into the ritual practices of voodoo witchcraft. The story arc which crosses the first three books ends on a dramatic note and leaves the reader itching to dive into book four, which fortunately is published.
