Review: Spells by Kristen Proby

Spells by Kristen Proby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this second installment to the Bayou Magic series. This one sticks to what Proby does best, romance. The romance between Lucien and Millie is front and center, and the paranormal and thriller elements move the plot along really nicely. They have such great chemistry and work really well together as a couple. This isn't quite as dark and gruesome as the first book. It still has its moments but they aren't quite as grisly. I really feel like the author has found her stride mixing romance and paranormal together and I can't wait for the third book.

This follows Millie, owner of a local coffee shop and the only practicing witch of the three sisters that star in this series. They each have unique powers, but Millie is the only one who has really embraced her power and uses it regularly. After escaping a horrific childhood, and banishing the evil spirit of their father all seems well, but when strange things start to happen again the sisters fear that their evil father has returned to haunt them. Millie has always had feelings for Lucien, so it comes as no surprise when secrets about their mystical past come to light linking them together. They must work together if they want to defeat the evil once and for all, but each of the sisters must find her partner and close the circle before the prophecy can come to fruition.

I feel like romance readers and paranormal readers alike will enjoy this. I'm very much looking forward to the final installment to see how the fabled six finally come together and defeat the lurking evil. This series is really fun despite being a bit dark. I really like the characters and the magical aspects. If you need a spooky read for Halloween or anytime of year, pick this up!
