As the mist rolls off the ocean and into Bedlam, October brings with it all manner of haunts and spooks. But the mist doesn’t arrive alone. Fata Morgana returns from the depths of the ocean, bringing with her a message. One of the ancient vampires has risen. He’s coming for Maddy, and he’ll eliminate anybody who stands in his way. Now, the witches wild must band together one more time, if they can keep from destroying each other first.

As a long time LOVER of her books, I have come to expect fun and action packed storylines and this next installment does not disappoint. I own every single book by this author and will continue to buy anything with her name on it in any format I can get it. I love how the characters are real people with doubts and flaws doing the best they can for their loved ones and others. If this is your first foray into one of Mrs. Galenorn's worlds, this book can stand alone however it is so all-encompassing you will want to go back and buy all the others. You will fall in love with Maddy and her friends. And the best part is you as a reader, feel like a part of the family. I absolutely love it!!!!

This series must be read in order. The first book is "Bewitching Bedlam". The second book is "Maudlin's Mayhem". The third book is "Siren's Song". This is the fourth book. I can't wait to read "Casting Curses"!
Maudlin has been missing Fata Morgana since she since she disappeared into the ocean over 100 years ago. Maudlin fears Fata's return as much, if not more, than she misses her. What has Fata become out in the Ocean Mother's embrace? Will they even recognize their old friend in her? Can she be reasoned with? Or will she be completely mad? When will Fata show herself? Will it be a boon or a curse? Can they survive this reunion?
Ok the title of this is perfect! It was a wild ride! I have to say that this has to be my favorite book out of the entire series so far. Getting to meet Fata and finally know the reason why she left. OMG! Also there is a HUGE ( and I mean HUGE) plot twist halfway through. Shocked me. I wasn't expecting that AT ALL! I had to put the book down and sit there for just a minute with my jaw hanging open. I can not wait to see where this goes. Only thing I know is that its going to be a wild and crazy path to get there! Thank you Yasmine for this wonderful world you have created. You always manage to impress me (and that's not an easy feat lol)
Maddie, Aegis, Bubba, Sandy, Max, and the rest of Bedlam’s denizens are back for another adventure. There is lots of excitement and action in this book: Fata Morgana is back, Maddie and Aegis celebrate one year together, Maddie almost drowns, The Boys of Bedlam break up with DreamGen, Jenna and Maddie each lose their mothers, brutal vampire attacks are solved, Maddie gets a familiar, and so much more. This is an exciting chapter but I highly recommend starting with the first book and continuing in sequence. There is a huge amount of backstory, history, character development, and relationships that have developed in the previous books.
I'm loving how the characters grow in each volume of the series. It's still a light-hearted easy read, a comfort rather than a challenge, but the characters become more mature, less superficial, their relationships become more complex. The magic parts are also interesting, and I appreciate the author's authority on the subject and the responsibility with which she deals with the matters. I also appreciate the nuances she provides for interspecies insight. A useful frame for understanding human variation.
I missed this book before, but thoroughly enjoyed it since I found it!
I don’t know how, but I had missed this book my first time through the series. Then I noticed it in my library, but it wasn’t marked as Read. So I went back to it and read it and I’m SO GLAD that I did! I throughly enjoyed it and it cleared up some questions that I had. Now, for the next time I read this series, I have all the books in order! Yasmine Galenorn is one of my ne w favorite authors! Highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yasmine never fails to keep you enticed in her stories and this one is no exception. It starts with an anniversary dinner and ends with much love to go around. The much awaited arrival of Fata Morgana brings a problem that Maddy and Sandy did not see coming and then there is the little problem with a rogue vampire, one that is a bigger problem then Fata Morgana. This is a must read.
Another great book from Yasmine!! There has been some weird storms and weather going on in Bedlam, leaving Maddy and Sandy wondering if their long lost friend Fata Morgana is coming to town. On top of this there has been some dead bodies show up all over Bedlam, and Maddy has a strange feeling about them. Now it's up to Maddy to figure out who is doing the killing and what to do with Fata Morgana if she shows up. Will she figure it all out before she becomes the next victim??
Yasmine Galenorn creates a world where you become absorbed in the struggles of the characters, each and every story will immerse you in a realm you can only visit through the pages. Once again she hits this right on the head! You will be laughing one minute and bitching about something that happened in the story. The story becomes so real that I've been known to complain about something one of the characters did to my husband as if they were a real person.
I chose this rating bc I love the way Yasmine writes. She entrances you in her story to wear you almost feel like you are the main character. And you can feel their emotions. And a lot of Mauldins life occurrences that happened reminded me of how crazy my life is and I related and enjoyed jumping to her world and gave myself an escape from reality. I love the worlds she creates and this one is enticing.
So much happened in this book that sets a foundation for what will happen in the future. I deeply enjoyed the story. I was sad at the end because I did not want it to end. A must read in the series and if you haven't read this series yet I highly recommend it. Also it is good to note that reading the novellas are a must to get the added details.
Yasmine Galenorn never ceases to amaze me. I loved every moment of this book. Fans of the series will love getting more of the Witches Wild back story, which could be it's own series, while as well as the ending. Can't wait for the next one!
This one seriously pulled on my heart strings. I loved it! It needs a slight tissue warning. But as always, yasmine has out done herself and I can't wait to return to bedlam.
So much excitement, adventure, family, and romance. Love the introduction of Fata and how her story evolved. Great to add Dracula and explain the difference between him and Vlad.
Absolutely getting wrapped up in the new adventures of the characters in this series. Yasmine has a way of getting you hooked and waiting for more. Yet another fun series.
Having a friend return changed is hard, but part of life. I love the conclusion to that relationship, and I didn't see it coming. I truly hope there's more to this series.
Very good book. Brought them back together and let you know more is coming. I love that she brings characters in and let's you know them. And when they are leaving you want them back. Can't wait for next book
This series is fantastic! It is a must read! Wonderful characters that follow through out the series and great plot twists. I highly recommend this series.
I love the zany world of the Bedlam series, and enjoyed reading more about the mysterious Fata Morgana. These books are the perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it has everything you could want in a book, fantastic characters, great storyline, magic, mystery, vampires and witches
