Angora Alchemy

Lookout, Dr. Frankenstein, because here comes Wanda Depraysie…

It’s not as though I meant to create a life.

I didn’t, but that life is still here, all the same.

And the worst part? I created it with… sigh… my detested cousin, Maverick.

Now, before you think I’m a double-timing, good-for-nothing witch, I’m not.

It was all an accident. Swear.

And the even craziest part? This little mixup isn’t even the worst thing that’s happened to me this week.

No, that award goes to the invitation I receive to my own funeral—a party sponsored by the leader of the vampires, Rupert, featuring me as the guest of honor.

Should be fun.

Dark Explosive Magic and the Threat of War Comes to Haven Hollow

This is the 20th book in the Haven Hollow series. It is a collaboration between HP Mallory and JR Rain. The book falls in the Paranormal Women’s Fiction genre.

This is my favourite Haven Hollow book yet. Wanda is changing again. She’s no longer a Blood Witch and her original bond with Lorcan has been broken but something else is happening; a new bond is forming at a much deeper level and Wanda herself is physically changing. Into what? She has no idea.

This book has a lot going on. Maverick’s new Blood Warlock powers combined with Wanda’s magic in an explosive fashion, resulting in an anomaly which cannot be ignored or hidden. There is an escalation in tension between the Portland Vampire Clan and Haven Hollow’s Scapegrace Coven, which if allowed to continue, could lead to a fourth Blood War between Vampires and Witches. Wanda is forced into an unenviable position where she might have to sacrifice herself to save her family and friends.

The Haven Hollow series is written from a variety of points of view and features stories from Wanda’s Witchery, Poppy’s Potions, Spook Society, Haven Homes and Remarkable Remedies. They all run in parallel with each other. The reading order so far is:

Gypsy Magic : Poppy’s Potions (Haven Hollow, Book 1)
Cashmere Curses : Wanda’s Witchery (Haven Hollow, Book 2)
Faery Enchantment : Poppy’s Potions (Haven Hollow, Book 3)
Spandex Sorcery : Wanda’s Witchery (Haven Hollow, Book 4)
Love’s Goddess : Poppy’s Potions (Haven Hollow, Book 5)
Demon in Denim : Wanda’s Witchery (Haven Hollow, Book 6)
Taffeta Trickery : Wanda’s Witchery (Haven Hollow, Book 7)
The Black Cat Cocktail Club : Poppy’s Potions (Haven Hollow, Book 8)
French Country Frights : Haven Homes (Haven Hollow, Book 9)
All Hallows Eve : Remarkable Remedies (Haven Hollow, Book 10)
Mystic Veil : Poppy’s Potions (Haven Hollow, Book 11)
The Yule Log : Remarkable Remedies (Haven Hollow, Book 12)
The Broken Mirror : Remarkable Remedies (Haven Hollow, Book 13)
Art Deco Apparitions : Hallowed Homes (Haven Hollow, Book 14)
The Vampire’s Grave : Remarkable Remedies (Haven Hollow, Book 15)
Herringbone Hexes : Wanda’s Witchery (Haven Hollow, Book 16)
Raising Cain : Spook Society (Haven Hollow, Book 17)

The gang is back and Wanda is not having a good week besides the fact she has gotten an invitation to her own funeral , trying to figure out her feeling for Lorcan .Her and her brother accidently created a child by blowing up a mannequin. Now she has to figure out her feelings and what to do with a child that can shape shift oh and find her brother who well disappeared . What's a witch to do .

OMG I am in love with this series and I am in love with Wanda she has been one of my favorite characters through out this series . Usually she is snarky and standoffish but in this book she is growing and becoming well lets just say more human. She is really starting to care for others more and more. She is truly growing up and taking care of the family that springing up around her. Maverick is in this story and actually has a big part of the story . He is also growing up and realizing that he needs more family then he realizes . We find out what type of life he had before he got away from the coven and it explains a lot of why he is the way he is . Poppy and the gang are back and better then ever . Poppy is always the sunshine that people need . Lorcan is still as suave as ever. I have truly loved these characters and how they have grown .

I was so excited to get my hands on this book , yes I know it is book 20 in the series but this series isn't getting stale . I love how the authors make each book about a different character living in Haven Hallow. They have made it fun to read , you can just see all the characters moving around the town and you really get involved in their lives . The story is fast paced and action packed . So if you want to a fun read check out this series . Add it to your reading list

Am I the only one that wants more of Maverick??? I love Wanda and all the craziness that tends to come her way but Maverick caught my attention a few books back and I just can't give up on him.

Back to Wanda and the heap of trouble that seems to follow her everywhere. Every time this witch thinks she has some type of control she steps into another mishap. This time around the vampire she's been avoiding has come a calling and he's done being patient. It's time to pay the pied piper.

This installment seemed to pick up the pace in Wanda's world.. which was a good and bad thing. Yes we finally are seeing some closer to certain circumstances in her life but at the same time things seem to be rushed too... Am I complaining.. No, Just prepare for a wild ride!

Wanda has been my favorite character for some time. Whenever a Haven Hollow book comes out I stop what I am reading and put it on hold to see what Wanda has been up to and yes, I do feel guilty about it. Witnessing Wanda acknowledge feelings, other than anger, is amazing and so rare. I've always loved Lorcan but am surprised at how much Maverick is getting on my preferred list. Such a fun and eventful addition to this series!

Blood witch to dead witch and mother

Wanda and Maverick have a bit of an accident which is actually caused by an invitation being delivered. The invitation is from Rupert and borders on threatening all of Haven Hollow. Now they have to figure out how to deal with the repercussions of the accident as well as the ensuing Blood War with Rupert.

Good book!

Wanda has had a heck of a week. She brings something else to life (because the ghost and zombie weren’t enough) and it involves not only her magic but Maverick’s, too. Then, she received an invitation to Rupert’s lair and it’s not one she can decline. Looks like Wanda may become a vampire, after all.

Angora Alchemy is another fantastic and fun novel in the Haven Hollow series. I love Wanda and her motley crew. They aren’t your typical coven but that’s what makes them all so incredible. I was fully engaged in Angora Alchemy. I loved the story, characters, setting, and writing.

The Wanda's Witchery series by J.R. Rain and H.P. Mallory is excellent. This writing duo brings interesting stories, intriguing characters, and thought-provoking mysteries to life. The character development provides history and growth, and the world-building creates a fantastic world to watch the characters do their thing.
