Gorgon Gone Wild (Misty Hollow, Book 3) - HP Mallory & JR Rain

Things are ramping up in this spooky series

This series gets spookier with every book and I love it! This is a new Hollow series from these authors with a dark and sinister feel. Grab yourself a cuppa, a snack and a footstool because you’ll want to read this in one go.

Things in the swamp have gone from bad to worse. Teen weregators are missing, presumed dead and the mystery predator in the swamp seems to be the prime suspect. Things go from worse to disastrous when the weregator community’s pleas for asylum are rejected by the Hollow’s Vampire Mayor and tragedy ensues.

Dory is a Gorgon on a mission. She’s a descendent of Medusa who has left her reclusive colony and gone out into the wider world. Hired as protection by the weregators, she’s involved in their efforts to seek asylum in the hollow. 

She’s strangely drawn to the Mayor and he seems equally fascinated by her. During the course of her negotiations, she uncovers his secret and the reasons why the hollow is being built in an unconventional way. It’s worse than any of them could have imagined.

We finally get to see who the Mayor is and what makes him tick. I can’t wait for the next book.

The Misty Hollow series is written from a variety of points of view which all run in parallel with each other. They have an underlying story arc, so need to be read in the correct order. 

The reading order so far is:

Book 1 : Mermaid Mayhem (Eerie Investigations)

Book 2 : Big Girls Don’t Scry (Miscellaneous Magic)

Book 3 : Gorgon Gone Wild (Serpentine Solutions)

Available from Amazon

Big Girls Don't Scry (Misty Hollow, Book 2) - HP Mallory & JR Rain

This series has me hooked and it’s only book two!

This series is getting increasingly spooky and I love it! This is a new Hollow series from these authors but it has a very different feel to that of Haven Hollow. This already feels darker and more sinister. 

Something is not quite right in the Hollow. Something is not quite right with the resident vampire Mayor. Something is most definitely very wrong in the swamp surrounding the hollow. Trouble is afoot and no-one has any idea of what they are facing. The neighbouring weregator community are under threat and still at odds with the Mayor; tensions are rising. 

Bruja for hire, Gillette arrives at the partially built Hollow with her young daughter Luna. Hired to help put up protective wards, she soon discovers that the hollow is not being built to effectively make use of the ley lines and that there is something sinister behind that decision. 

Luna is coming into her own uncontrolled Bruja powers far too young, so Gillette has to stay in Misty Hollow to keep her daughter safe from her own coven. But at what cost?

As with the Haven Hollow series, Misty Hollow seems to be written from a variety of points of view which all run in parallel with each other and have an underlying story arc, so need to be read in the correct order.. 

The reading order so far is:

Book 1 : Mermaid Mayhem (Eerie Investigations)

Book 2 : Big Girls Don’t Scry (Miscellaneous Magic)

Mermaid Mayhem (Misty Hollow, Book 1) HP Mallory & JR Rain

Great start to a new series

I enjoyed this book. I’ve read the Haven Hollow series by the same authors and honestly, I was expecting more of the same, however this Hollow seems to be a little different. For a start, it's still under construction and it's owned by a vampire.

The characters are fun and different. There is the potential for romance but none in this book. I like that although we are in another Hollow, the setting is so far removed from Haven Hollow that it couldn't possibly be compared.

I was pleasantly surprised to find the main character is not just a mermaid living in a hot swamp, she’s a siren with a difficult past and needs a safe place to be. She’s also a private investigator who has been called in to investigate the disappearance of three key members of the unfinished Hollow. No spoilers here but the perp wasn’t the obvious suspect and that made me happy. The ending also had a wonderfully creepy feel and that made me even happier.

I’m looking forward to the next book now.
