Salems Song by Kristen Proby Release Blitz

Submerge yourself in the final enthralling installment of New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby’s The Curse of the Blood Moon series.

Torn apart by tragedy, Lorelei has kept Xander at arm’s length, focusing on her career and gifts, rather than rekindling their love. But now that she’s back in Salem, she can’t avoid him and finds herself slowly softening toward the man she’s loved all of her life. However, the witch hunter they’ve been fighting still hasn’t been vanquished. Between that and breaking the curse of the Blood Moon, now is not the best time for her to give the sexy Xander another try.

Despite Lora pushing him away, Xander has never stopped loving her. But now that the stakes are higher with evil threatening them more than ever, he is done giving her time and space. With the curse that Jonas put into place long ago creating havoc with the innocent residents of Salem, the core six, their coven, and the witches from Hallows End need to work together to overcome true wickedness.

Will Xander and Lora find themselves once again amidst these stormy seas and their recent separation? Or will evil reign, throwing the core six, Salem and Hallows End into unimaginable peril?

This book begins where book two left off. They've defeated the "thing" once again, but everyone knows that this isn't over.

Lorelei and Xander have kept their distance for years, despite their souls calling out to one another. With nothing to really go on, their friends just aren't sure how to help these two fix their broken relationship. Everyone knows that these two are meant to be together.

Xander has been trying for years to fix what was broken between him and Lorelei, but she's stubborn and is holding on to their distance like a shield. Now, with danger lurking in literally any corner, Xander knows this is it. He either hovers and protects her without her approval – and risks ever repairing their relationship – or he lets others protect her, despite his instincts.

With the curse still looming and new, more dangerous revelations, it will take everyone's knowledge, everyone's love, and even forgiveness to fight this demon and lift the curse.

Twists, turns, betrayals, and secret messages will make this story exciting, fast paced, and super fun to read. It's a great story for around Halloween and although I wish the ending were even more drawn out to see a more complete epilogue, I loved how this all came together.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is third and final book in the series, and you most definitely need to read this in order, or you will not only miss some great storytelling, but really not understand what is happening! I loved how we have a mystery which crosses over time, which reminds us of the Salem Witch Trials, but brings it right up to date too. And best of all, finally we learn why things went wrong between Lorelei and Xander, and how good the future may be.

We have known from the beginning that these two should be together, but clearly there is a barrier making that impossible – it is incredibly frustrating for Xander, who has no idea what happened to break them. As things get more and more intense in the battle to end the 'thing,' Lora finally has to admit that her friends and family should know what led her to leave town. She learns a valuable lesson about what being a friend really means, as they all forgive her, but express their disappointment at not being able to help.

There is a level of tension which has been building throughout the series, but I think we were all pretty confident that things would be resolved to the good – these couples, their families, and covens have to be stronger than evil... otherwise, what would the world be like?

I have very much enjoyed this trilogy – Kristen Proby has secured her status as a talented paranormal author as well as a fabulous romance storyteller.

Cauldrons Call by Kristen Proby Release Blitz

Cauldrons Call, by New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, is the highly-anticipated second book in The Curse of the Blood Moon series.

Breena has known Giles all her life—and has loved him for nearly as long. Linked by the ties of family and coven, Breena has had a lifetime to discover everything there is to know about him. His intelligence and specialization in crystals and gems are truly things to admire, but it’s how he smiles at her that really makes her cauldron bubble. Too bad he’s completely oblivious.

Giles isn’t as oblivious as Breena thinks he is. A powerful witch, he’s spent most of his life hiding his true feelings from her, but he can’t ignore the fact that she’s hurting and plagued by the same nightmares that haunt him every night. So, getting her to move in with him so he can do just that seems like simple common sense. The hard part will be resisting the way Breena makes him feel.

But evil has invaded their world, and it has the power to kill every witch in Salem. Breena has no time to wallow in what might have been and Giles desire to protect her is stronger than the power contained in his crystals. Together they must lift the curse of the blood moon before time runs out. If they can’t, the people Breena loves the most are all in danger. It will take every skill she’s honed as a witch to protect what’s hers and the man who cast a spell on her heart.

Will they have time to kindle their love for each other, or will the clock run out at the hands of fate?

M/F Paranormal Romance

This is the second book in the series, and I definitely recommend that you read book one first. If you don't, you will be quite lost in the story and what happened to get to book two.

This is Breena's book. Since book one, she's feeling slightly off kilter and needs to be surrounded by people who love her. Even though she's had a crush on Giles for years, she never told him. When it comes out, Breena doesn't know whether to be mad or relieved.

Giles doesn't know how he's not noticed Breena that way in so long. Of course he's noticed her, but really seeing her took what happened in book one for him to truly see her.

These two have a long, arduous road ahead of them. With evil lurking in every corner and the doorway to a different dimension on the brink of opening, Giles, Breena, and everyone in the coven will need to draw on all of their skills to fight the evil that's coming.

This is a sweet romance between Giles and Breena. They have an amazing foundation of friendship that helps their romance blossom in a more natural way. You'll cheer them on in both their fight for love and their fight to survive.

I can't wait for book three... I have a feeling that it's going to be even more epic than the first two.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the second book in the series, and you most definitely need to read them in order to understand the underlying plot, as well as the intricacies of all the relationships. I am assuming you have in my review.

As danger is still present in modern day Salem, I spent a good part of this book thinking, “I wouldn't be going there on my own!” I loved the low-level tension which that added to the book, as these powerful witches worked to prepare for the threat to their lives, and to change the past. Alongside, and due to this, Breena has to confront her embarrassment at the fact that her childhood crush was revealed to Giles, and move forward. Luckily that move is together not apart, although he remains the gentleman for as long as he can! I really enjoyed the carefulness with which they act, and the honesty of their love for each other. It was clear that the coven were expecting it, but as in other inevitable romances, patience that it would happen at the right time.

I enjoyed this installment, and the situation is clearly not entirely resolved, so already looking forward to the next – and hoping that another couple in particular will find their way together soon!

Hallows End by Kristen Proby Release Blitz

New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby returns to tales beyond the natural and normal with her brand-new, captivating paranormal romance series that is sure to capture your heart and make you believe in magic.

Returning to her beloved home of Salem after a trip away, Lucy Finch can’t shake the feeling of anxiety that suddenly plagues her. Nor can she shrug off her third eye’s urging that she has a mission she must undertake—a secret she must uncover.

As a green witch, Lucy has always felt strongest and the most at home in the forest, surrounded by nature. But when a disturbing dream wakes her and sends her fleeing into the woods, she isn’t prepared for what she finds. She expected her element. Perhaps a message from spirit. She didn’t expect to cross paths with a sexy-as-sin man, straight out of a movie scene.

Jonas Morley isn’t like the other residents of Hallows End. He knows the town’s secrets, as well as Salem’s, and it has been his honor and duty to protect them for as long as he can remember. But the gorgeous witch who graces the town’s hidden border shakes him and makes him second-guess his directive. She calls to him like no other. But can he save his home and those under his care and still make her his? Or will their union mean danger and destruction for not only them but also those who live within the town’s borders?

Curses don’t discriminate, and the curse of the blood moon is the most determined and dangerous of all.

Hallows End is the first book in The Curse of the Blood Moon series.

M/F Paranormal Romance

Lucy is a green witch who loves her life. She is incredibly close with her coven and when dreams start to plague her psyche, she knows that turning to her coven will help her figure out why everything seems to be changing. When Lucy has a particularly strange dream, it takes her to the end of her property. She sees a man who is familiar and yet, she's never met him before.

Jonas has been stuck living in Salem for centuries. But it's not the modern Salem, but Salem from 1692. However, Jonas can move between times, so he does see Lucy and feels a pull towards her that he can't explain.

Lucy and Jonas will need the help of everyone in Lucy's coven. They are racing the clock against an evil that nobody has ever seen before. It will take everyone's knowledge and a little ghostly intervention to make sure they all survive this time around.

I don't want to write too much because you'll want to read it yourself, but this is the perfect Fall story that will have you wishing for the second book to come quickly. You won't be disappointed in this new series.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the first book in a new series, and that is always a good thing from this talented author. There is a significant level of world building, which I am sure will be important in future installments too. I was certainly left wanting the next book as soon as I finished this one – there are plenty of questions to which I want answers!

Travelling between now and the period of the Salem witch trials, this book gives us two very engaging lead characters, supported by a significant group of friends. I loved that there is such openness to the possibilities of what they encounter, and how they may help to bring about resolution.

Lucy and Jonas clearly have a deep connection, but the issue of their age difference and life experiences certainly makes one think! I am really curious to understand how these can be addressed as they get ever closer.

Perfectly timed for an October read, I definitely feel more Halloween ready now!
