Love Kelly Ethan's books about the Harrow family!
This time it's Holly's turn and what an adventure it is.
Holly , half witch/ half banshee, follows into the footsteps of her cousins Lila, the baker & Xandie, the librarian and starts sleuthing in New Orleans.
Vikings you say? Oh yes!
A murder, of course... And a Harrow right in the middle of it all..
Mayhem galore , what else do you expect from the Harrow family?

Holly Harrow gets an all expenses paid vacation! Yippee!!!
Ummm, yeah. As nearly all these all-inclusive holidays go, madness and mayhem erupt! It's an all-out battle of survival as Holly and her cousin, who had hoped to have a relaxing getaway and attend an auction, meet up with the ghost from hell! Will they survive the mayhem or will they need a bit of help?!? Well written and a fabulous read! Totally loved it!

Holly's free vacation is not at all what she hoped for but kind of expected.
She accidently buys a stuffed Raven and gets a sassy Viking spirit trapped in the stuffed bird hexed by a witch and woo hoo has a vengeful spirit after her too!
Laughs galore with Witches, banshee and Vikings just to give you a preview of what is to come.
The Harrow family is a hoot!

This one has a whole slew of cool and unusual things in it! Vikings, curses, zombies, talking ravens…well, one talking raven. I think I am going to love Holly’s stories! They promise to be full of chaos, mayhem and death. Oh, and the ending? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Whenever I start a book from Kelly Ethan, I know I'm in for a treat! There's never a dull moment, always full of mayhem, action and laughter. Can't get enough of the Harrows, especially Elspeth!

Did you know that there are Vikings in New Orleans? Did you know that they can be considered paranormal? The PIG does. Read story to find out what that stands for and then laugh!!!
So much for Holly's all-expenses paid trip from her bosses. She just wants to get to the auction and bid on the item they want. She bids all right. Gets a surprise too. All that and more!!!
Holly's turn at being the star. If your familiar with series and the three cousins. If you are not, don't worry. YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE THIS!!!!
So go ahead and read it, great introduction to all the books. You will definitely want to go read the others after this. Especially to see what they mean by the grandmother's mayhem. Just laughing thinking about her antics in the series. I especially like the hair.
Easily a standalone book. Good clean and fun read.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.

The funeral directors are away & a replacement comes. Seriously weird is what I think of this book, but, enjoyable. Poor Holly, she’s supervising a burial but the machine goes wrong & the coffin opens & there is a man inside who is alive, but bound in silver chains. He’s had a knock on the head & suffering from amnesia. There is so much strange stuff happening, much more than Elspeth could do, so Holly knows something needs to be done. There are a lot of dead people who are alive but with no pulse! Just one example of weird! Holly decides she’s as good a detective as her cousins as she gets more & more entangled in the mystery.

This story features Holly Harrow.
Poor thing thought she might possibly get away with having a real vacation when she travels on an all expenses paid trip to New Orleans to bid on a magical item for her bosses. She should have known better. Now Viking Zombies are hounding her and as usual, chaos and mayhem abound.
I quite liked her steadfast, planned approach to solving the murders and mysteries. And it's always fun when Elspeth joins the mayhem.
A fun, crazy, book that is worth your time.

Mayhem continues in Point Muse.
Now it's Holly's turn and it's a roller coaster just as you expect from the Harrow family.
Fun to read, hilarious, gripping and a grandmother that is out of control, as always. And the sidekicks are as entertaining as you remember them...
Another great storyline and your favourite characters and some interesting new introductions.
Point Muse never disappoints..

The Harrows are one of my all time favorite paranormal families! The chaos and mayhem that follows them…cough…Elspeth…cough…is truly hilarious and worthy of many gut-busting guffaws. I welcome each book with great delight. I had my suspicions about Nate from the get go and I was right! I also find Harry to be a barrel of laughs all by himself. A neurotic, germaphobe barrel. I loved reading this book!

Plenty of action, chaos, mayhem.
I loved reading a story with Holly as the main character! Elspeth is equal to herself, creating chaos every where she goes but, this time, she has some competition! As usual, there is so much action going on but at the same time the story is really sweet. Good job!
I received this book as part of an ARC team and this is my honest review.

Holly's bosses, the necromancy twins, are dealing with a "family emergency," so there's a backup mortician, a creepy one. Poor Holly is in charge of the burials, and there's a John Doe to bury, right now! Funny thing is.....
It's crazy fun chaos filled story that will keep you laughing.
What a fun story and maybe my favorite do far.
Nice to see Holly having her own stories now.

Holly and Xandie are on vacation in New Orleans. Well a working vacation as Holly's boss has sent her on a buying trip. As they are Harrow's, mayhem is sure to follow. Elsabeth also makes an appearance in this one to help the girls out. These books are always fun and such a laugh out loud read.

Exciting paranormal murder mystery involving the Harrow family who are the masters of mayhem. Holly and Xandie head to New Orleans for an auction. Vikings, Norsemen, zombies and witches are all trying to find the hidden treasure, how will it end?
March 1, 2023
Wow, what a story. You cannot get more excitement from a story, the Harrows are a class all by themselves. If you enjoy snark, fun, laughter and mayhem, this book is for you. The series is fun and you will love the characters. Highly recommend this book and the series.

Who would have thought that Vikings and voodoo went together? But, we are New Orleans where odd things happen. Holly has gone there to buy things at an auction for her bosses. Xandie is with her. Yes, very odd things happened & now Holly has her own “pet”! A very enjoyable read.
March 25, 2024
Absolutely hilarious! I loved Holly’s story! Nate is a fun addition and Harry, I love Harry. Holly has nothing on Harry’s germaphobia! It’s a brain tumor, even if it’s just a small headache. lol! I can’t wait for the next book.

Holly is sent to a burial but finds the body isn't really dead. Let the hijinks begin. The Harrow clan will always bring the drama and laughs to any book. I am glad Holly is getting her own series as she is a wacky character. Point Muse is the place to be for sure, I wouldn't mind visiting myself.

Who would chain an alive man and bury him? Why are people dying but coming back from the dead? Dazed and confused the buried man is on a mission to find out who he is and Holly doesn't leave his side. Great chemistry.
March 24, 2022
Love reading about the Harrow witch family who always seems to find dead bodies and have murders to solve. Entertaining from start to finish

Finally a story about Holly. Loved it. Vikings, treasures and murder. What a great addition to the Point Muse series.
April 27, 2024
What a fun and easy one sitting read. I didn't want it to end and can't wait for the next in the series.
