Serendipity by Kristen Proby Release Blitz

From New York Times bestselling author, Kristen Proby, comes Serendipity, the final installment in her gripping Bayou Magic series…

My sight is a gift and also a curse. It cost me the love of my life. We may have been young, but some things you don’t get over. Like being the cause of the biggest tragedy of your boyfriend’s life. It’s something I’ll never forget, and a reflection of who I am.

But now that Jackson’s back in town, with scars and a hero’s badge of honor, it’s time for me to be brave, too.

A malevolent evil hell-bent on making my sisters and me pay for rebuffing him is still stalking my family, and some ancient writings portended that the six were the only ones who could defeat him.

Jackson Pruitt and I round out that magical number, which means I have to face the evil and the things Jack makes me feel, to save my family and my city.

I never sought to reconnect with Jack. Working with him now means opening myself up to my feelings for him.

Refusing means destruction for us all.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is the last book in the trilogy, and without a shadow of a doubt, you need to read these in order to fully appreciate the plots and interwoven storylines. I almost envy someone who gets to read these all afresh in one go, and I have added them to my must reread list. I am going to assume you are up to date in my review.

With both Brielle and Millie in wonderful relationships, Daphne is feeling the weight of responsibility falling on her alone. Both her sisters are keen on her too falling in love, and the fact that her one-time crush, Jackson, is not only back in town, but also clearly interested, is fuelling their thoughts. I loved how we have the story of their past revealed to us, and how the shadow cast by their difficult past must not prevent them from having a future. Jackson has no intention of failing and makes that clear from the beginning, which is very alluring, and thankfully effective.

Kristen Proby has done a great job of balancing the dark with the light. There is plenty of danger spilled over from previous books and it is getting ever closer. We are given significant reminders of the forces at work in disrupting the peace of the Landry sisters, and what protection they have against them. I don't want to spoil the story, so will not say more.

I am very hopeful that this is not the last time that this talented author pens a paranormal romance, because I have enjoyed these very much.

Daphne and Jackson’s story is finally here. Daphne and Jackson lost touch after Jackson lost his father in a tragic death. Not wanting to hear what Daphne saw, Jackson withdrew and left his coven for the Army.

When Jackson returns, Daphne isn't really willing to put herself out there again for Jackson. She knows what it's like to be hurt by him and she doesn't want to feel that again.

Jackson knows that he was wrong to blame Daphne all those years ago, but he can feel that something big is happening and he doesn't want to lose Daphne to it.

As everyone gathers together to fight their final battle, you can't help but cheer them on. I do wish that there was more resolution around their battle. It almost felt anticlimactic. Yes, the battle was hard fought, and yes, it took everyone's gift working together, but it also didn't really have a lot of angst or turmoil either.

Overall, I'm super glad that I was able to read this series. It was full of love, intrigue, strong women and men who are swoon worthy. I look forward to what Proby has coming up next!

Spells by Kristen Proby Blog Tour

From New York Times bestselling author, Kristen Proby, comes Spells, the next installment in her gripping Bayou Magic series…

As a powerful hedgewitch and psychic, there isn’t much I can’t work to my advantage and finesse with a spell. Love, fortune, and even the perfect cup of coffee are all possible with the snap of my fingers.

But some things are utterly beyond my control.

Like the powerful and broody warlock who’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—and even the lifetimes I often can’t. Things almost as dangerous as Lucien Bergeron’s hold on me and the breathtaking smiles only I get to see.

Or the evil still stalking the streets of New Orleans that beckons to me to see. To feel. To die.

With everything riding on a razors-edge, and things that have been portended coming to fruition, threatening both me and those I love, I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to resist my fate. Or his charm.

If I work with Lucien, it could mean the end for both of us.

If I don’t, those I love most will pay.

Millie and her sisters are still recovering from what happened last year. With Lucien on her mind and her shop in full swing getting ready for Halloween, Millie will have enough on her plate without the taunting that Horace has planned for her.

Horace is not finished with the sisters and he wants to make Millie pay, most of all. Lucien knows what it is to lose to Horace again and again. He wants to prevent the loss again, but unless he can convince Millie to let him in, he'll be watching it happen again.

With mystery, murder, and witchcraft, this is the perfect story before Halloween. You'll want to stay up late to finish this story.

I can't wait to see what happens in the final installment. It can't come soon enough. These are fun, spooky, intriguing stories.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
4.5 stars of paranormal frights and romance!

This is the second book in the series, and I would definitely suggest that they need reading in order, as this is an ongoing story involving three very interesting and talented sisters. In this story, Millie is the focus, but Brielle and Daphne are key to the whole plot, so they get plenty of attention too.

Before I say more, and I have no intention of revealing anything very much, I am a big baby when it comes to scary, but even knowing that Kristen Proby has (at least) another book to write in the series, so nothing truly, truly awful can happen, I found myself having to put it down and have a quick deep breath or two before diving straight back in... repeatedly! The tension is so effectively built up and Horace is truly evil, and yet we then get the MOST beautiful, off-the-scales romantic interludes with Millie and Lucien. Really just so totally lovely, and then the level of perfect is ramped up even further. Yum, yum, yum!

Perfect Halloween reading, but really any day this will give you a wonderful way to escape from the everyday; thank you, Kristen Proby, for another hit!

Shadows by Kristen Proby Blog Tour

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes an all new paranormal romance set in the mystical city of New Orleans…

I am never alone. Not even when I am alone.
I see the unquiet dead, the souls that wander through the French Quarter.
They can’t move on, and I can’t stop seeing them.
I wear malachite for protection, and I control what I let in. It’s the only way to stay sane. Everything changes the day Cassian Winslow joins my ghost walking tour and knocks my world off its axis with green eyes the color of the stone around my neck.
An unspeakable evil is loose in New Orleans, taking young women and leaving a bloodbath in his wake. More shadows lurking for me. More unhappy dead. There might be a way to stop it.
Open myself up to Cassian.
If I do, it could spell his death.
But if I don’t, it’s mine.

“As I was about to walk down the street, I turned, and there was a shadow on the sidewalk. Just standing there. I’ve never seen her before.”

“Her?”

“Yeah, she was about my height. Very feminine.”

“Did she say anything?”

“Not that I heard. It just threw me because you know how careful I am about my route. I don’t like surprises, especially not like this. It’s creepy as hell. And, yes, I know I should be used to it by now, but—”

“It’s creepy, like you said.” She leans on the counter and bites her lip, thinking. “It probably means that someone recently died there.”

“I know that.”

“And now it’s a new spirit on your tour. Too bad she didn’t say anything. If she did, you could add it to your show. Could be fun. ‘Lucy was killed in this building three days ago, and her spirit now wanders the sidewalk in front of her former home.’”

“Talk about creepy.”

I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. “Did you sweep this area recently?”

“Is the floor dirty?”

I look at her as if she’s being obtuse on purpose. “You know what I mean.”

“It’s been about a week.”

“You need to do it again.”

Millie frowns, looking around the space. Her shields are as strong as mine, maybe stronger because she doesn’t just see the dead, she feels them, and that’s much more dangerous.

She fiddles with the amethyst around her neck.

“What do you see?”

I narrow my eyes. “I shouldn’t tell you.”

“I don’t want to look, Bri. I dropped my guard for just a second earlier and was slammed with the pervy thoughts of a nineteen-year-old college kid who couldn’t take his eyes off my ass. So, just tell me. Is it the little girl again?”

“Yeah. And she brought a friend.” I reach over to take my sister’s hand. “Don’t drop your shields anymore, Mill. Not for a minute. Ever. I know we live and work here in the Quarter because it’s where we make our living, but it could really hurt us.”

“I know.”

“I couldn’t bear it if I lost you, too.”

Brielle and her sisters have always had gifts. Despite her mom being a terrible human being and their dad even worse, the sisters always had each other. When they were old enough, they left their haunted house and moved to a place where they were safe. Brielle is an amazing storyteller and she is even more amazing at seeing ghosts. What she isn't crazy about are the ghosts that are following her.

There is a terrible, dangerous person roaming her town and they will stop at nothing to get Brielle and her sisters to notice them. The dynamic of the mystery behind the story is gripping and haunting. You'll be on the edge of your seat and you'll look over your shoulder.

Cash is also an amazing character. I loved that he was so easily likeable. He accepted what Brielle told him and that was all there was to it. They had an easy romance – no angst or miscommunication. He was willing to accept what others might not and willing to do whatever he could to make sure Brielle was safe and out of harm’s way.

Proby hit it out of the park again. I loved this story and can't wait for more. Despite this being out of her comfort zone, Proby didn't disappoint. This book had the same family feel and the characters were well thought out and easily relatable.

Oh what a great start to a new series by the talented Kristen Proby. I have always thought her books to be magical, but this time she has given us full on magic! Possibly even better, we have a clear indication of who will feature in future installments of this paranormal romance series. It felt like Proby was having fun with this book, and I loved the vibe throughout the book.

As a first book, we get world building, but just enough to be useful and not at the expense of the sweet and sexy story. Cash is a great new male lead and his relationship with Brielle is wonderfully refreshing as he at no time questions her experiences or those of her sisters. He doesn't judge, doesn't question, and is only ever keen to learn and support. It would seem he is not hard on the eyes either! His career had made him observant, but he is also open-minded, and thankfully has the contacts needed to help solve the mystery.

I love Brielle and her sisters – close to each other, but accepting of change – and the rest of their 'family.' I am so excited to read the next book and find out how they move forward now that there is some resolution in their family story. I also found the idea of shadows and how they affected her mental health to be an intriguing way of thinking about how we can be brought down by the things in our heads.

A book which combines mystery, magic, and love with great style and aplomb. Thank you, Kristen Proby, for finding time to write some paranormal romance – it was time well spent!

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.
