I was hoping life in Hollow Cove might give me a break.

Yeah, no.
First it was buildings disappearing like someone hit delete on the town. Then came the memories, slipping through my family’s heads as if they’d never existed. Even my aunts, who usually argue louder than a flock of geese, started forgetting things that should’ve been impossible to lose.
And Marcus? He’s acting… different. Too different.
Now I’m stuck chasing shadows while trying to keep my son safe, hold my family together, and figure out what kind of monster thinks reality itself is fair game. If I can’t stop it, Hollow Cove won’t just be in danger. It might not exist at all.
Just another week in my life.

So Disappointed. Couldn't Read It

I am so sad that I now have to stop the series. The AI writing in this book was just so over the top and bad that it ruined the story. It doesn't seem like there was even an attempt to edit the AI writing to make it less repetitive, less filled with fluff phrases that said nothing. Kim Richardson has always been a better storyteller than writer, and that was fine with me. But now the storytelling is so overshadowed by the bad AI writing but I can't even hang in with it.

Especially good story about a parasite called the Fade that has places, memories and people in Hollow Cove disappearing. Tessa and the other Davenport witches have their hands full trying to find and defeat this entity before everyone disappears, including, Marcus and Iris. Also, Tessa discovers the true origins of House and does a generous thing at the end.

I’ve enjoyed this series, until this one. I laughed at the aunts and Darian, but this story was not her best work. I’ll continue the last two of the series that are out… I hope they are better.

Caos con magia o Vacío en el caos.

Tessa y sus tías y amigos se enfrenta a una amenaza de proporciones apocalípticas, que pretende destruir la realidad y la memoria o recuerdos de esta, y con ella a la humanidad con una total destrucción. Si, tienes que leer el libro para entenderlo y disfrutar de una aventura épica, mientras Tessa intenta salvar a … y al mundo.
