Branchview: The Unexpected Journey
Steven Spencer paranormal novelist is beckoned to the Branchview Estate after receiving a mysterious message on his computer screen. Once there, he is confronted with some hidden secrets, thereby forcing him to bring Loraine Spencer, his lovely wife, to the estate.
Soon after the Spencer’s arrival, they found themselves entangled in the family’s centuries-old struggle with witchcraft, and a Satanic cult called the Secret Society. When two witches return from the dead intending to destroy the Branch family and steal their fortune, all hell breaks loose. Steven soon discovers he is the illegitimate child of the matriarch Penelope Locke Branch.
The couple seeks outside help from Loraine’s mentor Dr. Sheila Grayson, who is a Grand Witch of White Magic, and they find unexpected help from the immortal mermaid goddess Amphitrite, who oversees her aquatic kingdom from the nearby beach at Lighthouse Point. She in return is forced to take on the human guise of Dr. Amy Seagraves; where she learns the secret to the death of her lost love Mathew Branch.
In the Sequel to ‘The Unexpected Journey’ behind the scenes is a larger plot by the Secret Society to overthrow the U.S. Government and eventually establish a World Rule. This sets the wheels in motion for an inevitable “The Epic Showdown’ on the expansive grounds at Branchview. One in which the forces of good and evil supernaturally clash on the heels of a massive Hurricane brewing offshore in the Atlantic.

Best fantasy book series by branchview. A must-read for everyone.

I have been hearing rumors about this book and had to discover them for myself. Branchview ‘The Unexpected Journey’ kept me in my seat until the very end. But as I read the book, it reminded me of certain instances of forthcoming events in the world today. We all know the unbelievable situation America faced in 2020 and only seems to be escalating in 2021. Well, I must say Brian Jay Nelson captured those events perfectly in ‘The Unexpected Journey’ and somehow I do not see myself being disappointed in the sequel 'The Epic Showdown. Plus, a little birdy told me the author has more episodes of Branchview coming very soon, including the possibility of a big-screen movie. That will be a must-see.
This book dives into some very complicated events, in a light-hearted manner using comedy, sarcasm at its finest all while intertwining some romance. Oh my God. I got the chills so many times toward the end. It completely blew my mind and managed to surpass my high expectations. Nothing of what I expected to happen occurred. The plot twists are brilliantly layout to keep the reader engaged from start to finish.
I loved the character Steven Spencer a paranormal novelist, he becomes like a real person by the end. But the one character that everyone must keep a close eye on her actions is Charolette Locke. The storyline is so fully fleshed out and spine-tinglingly, it's almost as if the Branchview Estate traveled into your home to share the event in real life. My only complaint, the book ended.
