Moonshine & Menace: Moonshine Hollow #5

Rate this book
Polly Lurie had been battling evil for centuries, but everything changed when she was selected to teach Zoey Rode how to use her new powers. Together they defeated evil and Zoey took her place among the witches, even finding love with the dark and dangerous Slade. Polly wishes to find that same love. Only the one man she’s interested in doesn’t seem to think of her as anything but a friend.

Samuel Mannering had loved and lost during the war between good and evil. For four hundred years, he’d been Slade’s right hand as they fought evil together. Now witches are coming together once again, love is all around, and he only has eyes for Polly Lurie. The trouble is, he knows she can’t be his true love. Or can she?

Zoey and Slade know the happiness of the witches in Moonshine Hollow, Tennessee won’t last. She’s seen it in her visions. For the first time in four hundred years, witches feel safe. But that illusion of safety is about to be ruined. The war they once thought over is just beginning as menacing dark magic appears in Moonshine Hollow.

Another installment in the Moonshine Hallow series…. I’m enjoying these novellas. One more to go…. And I’m betting Moonshine Hallow gets its Happily Ever After.

It was such a thrill ...

To know, Moonshine Hollow continues...
But, Ms. Brooks, you're killing me here!
So much happened, Samuel finally opened his eyes, Polly is absolutely adored and happy,Galen and Jane's life changes dramatically with power, for both of them. And now the town is yet again. Under attack!
Zoey,Jane, and Polly all glimmer...but not their husbands, hmmm.
And then, with all your theatrical, amazing descriptions of each and every new evil, you sucked me in, and I have to wait till December to find out what's next?
ARGHHHHHH ...
Women of Power, Keenston, Shadow's Landing, Moonshine Hollow, etc... You draw your readers completely into the story such that we fight the battles, feel the evil, laugh till we cry, feel the strength of love, talk about stellar writing!
Four more weeks for the next installment of my Kathleen Brooke's addiction!
Awesome, every moment! One has to love Moonshine Hollow and all the witchery going on, and it continues ...

More ! Please!

Exceptional

I laughed and cried reading this. Moonshine Hollow is in grave danger who is causing all of this is anyone’s guess. Galen and Jane return from Scotland to join Slade and Zoey and Polly and Samuel. Evil is lurking and causing havoc. The townspeople are made aware of the witches but what will they want them to do - leave or stay. Another month before to finding out their decision.

Wow what an amazing read

Wow what an amazing read from Kathleen. Polly and Samuel have been Trey friends to Zoey and Slade and I’m glad they get their groove on in this book but also learn how their pasts have crossed and to find out what’s in their future too it’s also sad parts in this and I guess you can’t have light without dark you also can’t have birth without death. I can’t wait to read the next book

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!
Moonshine & Menace follows Polly and Samuel, two battle-hardened witches who have fought evil for centuries. Their slow-burn romance is full of longing and unspoken feelings, adding an emotional depth to the story. The magic in this installment feels darker, with foreboding visions and the realization that the war may not be over after all. Zoey and Slade’s role as protectors of their newfound witchy family remains a strong thread, but Polly and Samuel’s journey steals the show with its mix of heartache, hope, and danger.

A Continuous Series

This author is a wonderful writer and produces great stories! The only reason I gave it a 4 rather than a 5 is I really don’t like cliffhanger ending till the next story.

As this series continues, Zoey and Slade along with the other witches gear up for what they fear is the fight of their life. This is book 3 in the series with the final book coming shortly. It is a book of good versus evil and how love and friendship is what matters. I look forward to the conclusion of this series. You need to realize there is a cliffhanger in this book as it continues into the final book.
