A Spell of Longing and Death
She’s out for blood. He’s after the spell she’s hiding.
Natasha Farm witch Natasha Foxglove has one avenge her mother and grandmother’s deaths. She’s determined to take down their killer, even if that monster turns out to be her own father.
Armed with the same deadly magic used to destroy her family, Natasha’s heart burns with vengeance, and nothing will stand in her way. Not even a sexy daemon whose scorching touch tempts her to lower her walls. Because once she’s had her revenge, Remiel will leave, and Natasha will be alone on her hill--exactly how she likes it. So why does losing Remiel feel more terrifying than facing the man who destroyed her family?
Remiel Getting a shotgun shoved in your face would make most people think twice--unless you’re Remiel, Daemon Lord of Hell City’s library. Tasked with retrieving the stolen Occidere Spell, he finds himself face-to-face with its a fiery little farm witch hellbent on revenge.
But Natasha isn’t just holding the spell he needs--she’s his fated mate. Now, keeping her alive is his top priority--if he can only convince her to put down her shotgun long enough to see he’s not the enemy.
With danger closing in and their chemistry sparking hotter than a wildfire, Natasha and Remiel must decide if their connection is strong enough to bridge the gap between vengeance and fate.

Hi Wonderful Reader, this book holds a special place in my heart (I'll explain why in the acknowledgements) but I do want to warn about some of the content in case this story isn't for you. As a spicy paranormal romance story, you can expect multiple steamy scenes and since my hero is a daemon, you can also expect his anatomy to be slightly unusual. Don’t worry – my heroine loves that about him!
But because your wellbeing matters, I also want to call out some of the more serious themes visited in the
Maternal death (off page)Grandparent death (on page)Patricide (on page)Multiple violent scenesMultiple death scenesTortureIf you still want to join me on this journey, I hope you enjoy meeting Remiel and Tash (and a couple of their pets).
Cheers, HMH

Natasha, the female witch lead, raced home from college, following her intuition, to find her last living relative, her grandmother, killed. Certain her biological father is at fault, she determined never to leave the family property again. Now, ten years later, she’s shocked to find a stranger on her doorstep, offering her money in her father’s name for a spell that he killed her mother over.
Remiel, the male daemon librarian lead, is chasing a spell that was stolen from his library and holds the balance of power critical to maintaining Hell. He’s shocked, however, to realise that he knows Natasha’s magic, having felt it float through Hell on multiple occasions, and that it provokes an unreasonable physical response in him.
Desperate to keep Natasha safe, Remiel says and does whatever he needs to convince her to accept his protection, leaving her infuriated at him overriding her agency. But when Remiel is at risk, Natasha is also willing to provide protection for him. Just not live with him forever…right?
This story is dual POV, well written, and a sweet and steamy, contemporary fantasy, daemon/witch romance. I enjoyed Remiel’s willingness to acknowledge how much he cared for Natasha and to go out of his way for her. I empathised with Natasha’s anger and wish to be alone, given her personal history. I enjoyed her character development. I enjoyed the intimate scenes. I enjoyed the non-romance plot.
I received a complimentary copy from the author and this is my voluntary honest review.

Well, this one was certainly death and longing and desire and all the feels … and I loved it. Tash and Remeil were a great match for each other, and it was a treat to run into Rohan the Red again 😉 Another fast-paced and action-packed story with dialogue and banter to keep the pages turning. HM sure knows how to bring the characters alive on the page. A must-read for lovers of romantasy.
