The Accidental Coven: A Cozy Witchy Fantasy Adventure
When three witches with undeveloped powers—all unknown to each other—learn they’ve inherited a mysterious house from the last member of a dying coven, they converge on the tiny town of Pirate’s Cove to claim their legacy. But when a ritual gone wrong accidentally imbues them with the former coven’s magic, they learn they’ve also inherited its enemies—and the responsibility for fixing its past mistakes.
Under attack from vampiric Fae who want to steal their magic, and aided by a hot mysterious Fae bounty hunter, a magical maintenance crew that moonlights singing sea shanties in tourist bars, and an ancient sea captain who’s more than he seems, Jinx, Melody and Gigi have to become a true coven to save themselves and their future—and learn that magic combined with friendship and courage is unstoppable.

I inhaled this. Will it change your life? No. Will you have a great time and love the characters and be absolutely riveted and not stressed out at all but totally engaged? Yes. I really loved these characters, even the side ones were well developed. I was devastated to discover the subsequent books aren’t out, this was a real pleasure to read. Cozy vibes, fun magic, witches, found family, and barely romance which was fine with me because the story was great. I can’t wait for more!

Jinx life turns into chaos when she finds out getting to Pirates Cove two other Witch's have claims to the mysterious house.
When a ritual goes wrong the three Witch's Jinx, Melody & Gigi gain the former Coven's magic as well as its enemies, its up to them to fix past mistakes which were caused by Jinx's mother.
Their under an attack from a Vampire Fae that wants to steal their magic, Jinx, Melody & Gigi have to work together to find out the truth of the past & defeat their enemies.

So I LOVE Jinx's voice. It's easily my favorite thing about this book. She sucks you right in and keeps you there, and I breezed through the first 7 or so chapters in a single night. I also kept having to pause reading because I was laughing so hard at something she said (and more than once, my dog trotted over to check on me like 'uhh you good there, human?').
I love how quirky Seaward House and Pirate's Cove are, and all the little world building details Moon has incorporated. They're all fun and really well-executed. I would also die for Melody's angry stick men, Finn's cat, and the friendships Gigi, Melody, and Jinx are building.
I can't wait to see where this series goes; I'm totally locked in for the ride :)

While this isn't my usual kind of read this is one of my favourite authors under a different name so I decided to give it a go and I am so glad that I did. My family are now of the opinion that I am absolutely crazy as I giggled and even laughed out loud at the shenanigans going on in this book. Jinx, Gigi and Melody are the kind of friends that everyone wants and then throw in the other characters and Seaward House and it is utter bedlam but in the nicest of ways. I can't wait for more books in this series and I may have found another genre to read or it maybe just be that Hollie writes descriptive worlds no matter which name she is using.

The Accidental Coven
A great introduction to a cost witch mystery, in a quaint supernatural lakeside resort. I loved the characters, the storyline and the humour from this book. I didn't want to put it down! There's some slow burn romance, a missing parent and the mystery relating to an inheritance. All in all a lovely way to escape to Pirate's Cove.
As a long time Anastasia Wilde reader, I'll say it's not one of her fast paced paranormal romances, it does have the sass and strong characters, but it has a charm all of its own!

4.5 stars - fabulous new series
This is a wonderful and enchanting new series, a cozy witchy adventure, full of mystery, intrigue, action and all tied together with wonderful characters.
I really enjoyed the intricate and compelling storyline and loved the characters, this kept me eagerly turning the pages trying to figure out all the twists and turns.
I highly recommend this book. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

What I most enjoyed about this non romance story was the characters. Between the humour and the action, the emotion and the magic (of course), there was a sense of family and connection. While this is not a romance, there are some romantic leanings that will appeal to those who want a more cozy vibe. Most of all, who doesn't want to live in a place called Pirate's Cove? Jinx, Melody and Gigi are exactly the kinds of friends you want to have.

3.5 stars.I really wanted to love this book and the reviews all seemed in awe but I found myself bored several times throughout. The book was a little too YA for me. Every time I felt like there should have been a twist or hyped moment, I felt like it fell short. It was a cute book and the characters have promise. I knew id be left with a cliff hangar but I still felt like the ending came out of the blue.

Laugh out loud funny, and put me through all the feels!
I felt like I right there with these fantastic characters! At one point I snort/laughed so hard my teenager checked on me out of concern. Lol! This story has great world and character building, with a slow burn romance being a side note to the heart of it. Jinx, Gigi and Melody are characters that everyone would want as their friend, so it was a fast paced ride read each chapter to the end. I can't wait for the next!

What a debut! Hollie Moon, what a book! This was light and fun with twist and turns. I was expecting a cliff hanger and there is one but nothing to drastic. I can not wait to learn more about all the characters!
The mystery of pirate Cove and it's inhabitants are going to keep us entertained for books to come!

Fun new coven
Accidental Coven is a fun romp with Dark Fae, Ghost pirates, inept witches, shape-shifting guardians and enough adventure I know where I want to go for my next vacation. Pirate's Cove, Oregon. You could stop here, but, like me, I know you will want to know what happens next. Read this one while waiting for book two.

I want a Baba Yaga Hut!!
This has to be one of the best books that I have read in a while. I’m in love with all of the characters and cannot wait to see how they evolve. I also want Sinclair the talking cat. This book has it all!! Witches, Fae, Shifters, Krakken, and more.

I really enjoyed this book. There are a lot of surprising little touches that I haven’t seen before that made reading this book fun. I’m a sucker for sentient houses and the one is this book is perfect. The main characters are varied and likable and the plot is great.

What a great start to a new series. Full of excitement, magic and suspense. The characters are unique and each brings something different to the story. It has witches, shifters, fae and pirates! Jinx and the others make a great team. I can't wait to learn more about all of them, including Sinclair.

A lot happened in this story. I like the town of Pirate's Cove. Jinx found her home, were she belonged. I will be waiting to see what happens next. See what they will do with the Lawyer. Plus there is a lot to take care of too.

Again I found a good read in this book. I would not mind more stories in this series. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy.

Magical Fun
I truly don't know what I love more, the house, the hut, or the cat. Jinx and Finn are adorable. I can't wait to see what Gigi and Melody get up to next.

Super cute story don't get me wrong, but WAY too much banter and over explaining. It may also just be me
