Nola Leary would have been content to stay in Kilcairy,
Ireland, healing villagers at her family’s clinic with a mix
of magic and modern medicine. But a series of ill-timed
omens and a deathbed promise to her grandmother have sent
her on a quest to Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky, to secure her
family’s magical potency for the next generation. Her
supernatural task? To unearth four artifacts hidden by her
grandfather before a rival magical family beats her to it.
Complication One: The artifacts are lost somewhere in
vampire Jane Jameson’s occult bookshop. Complication Two:
Her new neighbor Jed Trudeau keeps turning up half-naked at
the strangest times, a distraction Nola doesn’t need. And
teaming up with a real-life Adonis is as dangerous as it
sounds, especially since Jed’s got the face of an angel and
the abs of a washboard. Can Nola complete her mission before
falling completely under his spell?
Molly Harper has the gift of keeping her writing fresh. She also has a talent for bringing in brand new characters to an existing world and lets the story shine through, even with delicious glimpses into the lives of the characters who have become old friends to the reader. I love just about everything Harper has written (everything I have read, I loved) and I'm looking forward to new books in this series as well as others. (Diana Troldahl 1:40pm November 18, 2013)
