Dead Wrong
Give the gift of life. Become a necromancer today!
Octavia Hollows’ necromancy abilities are on the fritz. Raising an army of reanimated corpses can do that. But this little hiccup couldn't come at a worse time. A vampire took a fae princess hostage. In retaliation, the King of the Winter Court is threatening war on all of Lavender Lotus if his daughter isn't returned.
Her werewolf has been brainwashed.
Her abilities are volatile.
And Death himself is tracking her every move.
As hopes for a peaceful resolution fade, Octavia is faced with the choice to sacrifice her future to save the present. With her ride-or-die swinekick at her side, can she prevent a supernatural war from reducing her beloved town to ash? Or are her dreams of achieving a happily-ever-after Dead Wrong?

This one began with another startling revelation.
The odds were certainly stacked against Octavia and her friends in the worst ways. How was she going to get everyone out of this heap of a mess? I needed to know!
Dead Wrong had a fast pace and plenty of twists and turns.
And the way this one ended was just cruel! I NEED MORE!!!!

Death never looked so, hot!?
Once again Octavia is in for a fight. This time she's flirting with Death.
Stacey's word play and wit kept me engrossed and wanting more, in a good way. But darn it, I need another book! The emotions and pain felt by the characters felt raw and real at times. The details painted each scene masterfully. At times I almost felt phantom pains along with the characters.

It seems like the cards are stacked against Octavia on multiple fronts in this installment. Her world is more than a little complicated with her brainwashed boyfriend, necromancer abilities going wonky, and a vengeful fae king, but then Death enters the picture and really throws a major wrench in the mix, leading to Octavia having to make an impossible choice. Those she could rely on are powerless to help her. Everyone she loves is in danger. The love between her and her sexy werewolf is put to the ultimate test. She has to find a way to save the town she knows and loves. Death forces Octavia to have to face the consequences of actions she has taken and choices she has made. All of this really weighs on Octavia, and Ms. Rourke does a fantastic job of portraying these internal struggles in her writing.
Honestly, to me, this book represents a transition for both the main character and the author. While those who have been with Octavia throughout this series know her as a snarky, strong female character who never really doubts herself, a whole other side to her is brought out in this story - the raw, emotional feelings that come with seeing those you love suffer and having to make heart wrenching decisions. This only makes Octavia all the more human and brings her character development to a new level. I am looking forward to seeing where Ms. Rourke takes her next.

Every one of the Octavia Hollows books leaves the reader smashed to pieces at the cliffhanger and begging for more. Book 4 left my jaw on the ground and had me sure that they were all doomed. I mean how could they escape the perilous situation they found themselves in?
And now throw in the literal grim reaper! Death himself. Gulp
This story has a trio of villains. Which one is the worst? And can Ocatvia and Connell stop them before the entire town is destroyed?
This is such a fun series! Octavia Hollows is tough, sassy, and knows how to kick ass. She continually finds herself with new friends, foes and people to call her family. Despite the tragedy, The books still convey all the warn]m fuzzies that she feels towards the people she loves. Such a fantastic writer!!
Dead Wrong is another 5 star read from Stacey Rourke!

Taking us on another grand adventure with Octavia and Bacon, Dead Wrong brings us right back into the incredible world of Octavia Hollows! It doesn't seem these two heroes will ever catch a break, but at least readers are in for another great time. With so many people counting on these two to save them, the stakes are high, but that doesn't mean we don't still get some laugh out loud moments because Octavia is still, well, Octavia and she is a hoot! This book will really pull at your heartstrings though, so be ready for some tears between the cheers. All in all, this was a great addition to this every expanding series, and I cannot wait for more Octavia and Bacon adventures!

Octavia is trying desperately to find and save her family. Octavia’s people have been taken by Connell’s sister and Dotty the vampire. Octavia is getting visits from Death. He is telling her she has been creating an imbalance that he has had to fix and if she continues to do so there will be consequences. The King of the Winter Court also pays a visit telling Octavia he will need to return Nora or the people of the town and the town will be destroyed. Octavia has a lot on her plate and once she gets the information, she needs she goes and gets her friends and family. It was quite and ending with Death dealing a heartbreaking blow. Looking forward to the next book.

Octavia is a hot mess for sure and we are here for it. Always with the best intentions always putting others first. Yet Nothing seems to go her way.
Bacon is the best swine kick a girl could ask for.
Her happy ending is always so close yet so far away.
That cliffhanger at the end had me in tears and also felt a little sorry for death.
Octavia is one chick you don’t want to cross.
This book kept me up with all the twists and turns. I had to know what happened next.
Just need the next book now

Even when faced with overwhelming odds, Octavia's sarcasm and snarky comebacks can't be beat. Her swine-kick, Bacon, is as adorable as ever.
This is a page-turner with its many twists and turns. Stacey Rourke has written another must-read, must have book.
I'm excited for the next entry in the Journals of Octavia Hollows.

Well, as per her writing, Stacey has another great story with Octavia and her little porker. From start to finish, this book can't be put down. Don't hesitate to pick up this book. It is a very exciting read!

I get so excited about reading this series. The story is super unique. It keeps you on your toes. And my favorite Bacon the pig. Book 5 was definitely a great read. Adventures, and so many emotions. And of course, I always crave more at the end.

What can I say.. Stacey has written another book that I couldn’t put down. From start to finish, then book had me rolling, edge of the seat and all the suspense. Bacon is a hoot, and a much loved character. I can’t wait to read more from her.

There are a few trigger warnings in this book. A Vampire gets some horrible things done to him, and I had a hard time with that part other than that the book was awesome.

The Queen of cliffhangers has out did herself again!
The characters were awesome!! Octavia is still my hero and I want to still be her when I grow up. And Bacon, we can't forget Bacon!! He's such a little knight in shining armor and still my favorite!!
The storyline was incredible. Rourke brought forth her sass and humor within the pages of this book. This book had all my feelings all over the place. The story is very well written with all its ups, downs and sideways turns that kept me turning the pages just to find out more. I literally couldn't put this book down. I also loved the small nod to another Rourke read from another series. And that cliffhanger made me mad and cry at the same time!! My heart feels broken. But if you wanna know what I am talking about, go get your copy to find out what I am talking about. I highly recommend this read.
