Karma can kiss it.

When Felix Simms took over the position of mayor in the small town of Havers-by-the-Sea, he had no idea he’d inherit so many problems. Between the town of Fayet suing them for magical appropriation, a looming budget crisis, and the butt cheek bandit’s reign of terror, the last thing Felix needs is to be saddled with his delinquent sister’s urchins over the holidays. And he certainly doesn’t have time to deal with Liam Montgomery trying to make amends for suggesting the disastrous “polycule proposal” that broke Felix’s heart senior year.

But Liam is desperate to prove he and Felix are meant to be together. Unfortunately, Liam’s pending divorce has taken a nasty turn, and juggling that and the Havers’s rumor mill is seriously affecting his mental health.

Meanwhile, a new threat is rising, putting all of Havers in danger. To face it, Felix and Liam have to put their differences aside. Because if they can’t, it’s not just the town that’s in jeopardy, it’s everyone they love, and Jena and Chase will be the first to fall.

What readers are saying:

If you want a romance with family drama and magic then this is the book to read. – Sandra, Goodreads

 

Weres and Warlocks was everything I hoped it would be. My sweet baby Felix finally got his happily ever after after all, not that there wasn’t some bumps along the way.
Such a great little holiday read. It has a little bit of everything in it. Some spice, some yearning, a little bit of magic, found family, and I love a good animal sidekick. I stayed up until 2am this morning to finish it because I couldn’t go another day without knowing how it ends.

-In a world of ink, Goodreads

 

I highly recommend reading this, especially if you like magic/paranormal books – Kerry Batchelor

Karma’s a witch.

When witch Jena Seymore returns home to Havers-by-the-Sea to care for her dying aunt, old town politics and prejudices are rekindled. Between the local Westside Pack’s vendetta against her family and the coven pressuring Jena to become guardian of the magical node outside of town, she has enough problems without adding Chase Montgomery to the mix.

But Chase has plenty of problems of his own, and how to make amends with Jena and win her heart is at the top of the list. Unbeknownst to his pack, Jena is his fated mate, and after her leaving town the first time almost killed him, he’s not letting her get away again—no matter what the backlash might be.

And meanwhile, the node is turning wild, jeopardizing Havers-by-the Sea’s existence as tensions threaten to tear it apart from within. Deep-seated small town secrets could hold the key to its future—but only if they’re discovered before Samhain, when the blue moon rises.

What readers are saying:

“I loved this story! It has everything I like in a good book, angst, anger, laughter, tears, fun, heat, love, loyal best friend, quirky side characters and an HEA. It doesn’t get any better than that. The storyline is solid, engaging, the world building is multi-dimensional and once you start you won’t want to put it down.” – @sunshinewhispers

 

“Wow, what a cracking book this is. Twists, turns and lots of magic so what’s not to like. I couldn’t put it down till I’d finished it, I was completely engrossed. I loved it.” – @sbanacek

 

“I started reading this book at 9pm and read straight through to 4am. … FOUR. A. M. Crazy, right?! Let me tell you, this book had me hooked from the start with its humor, drama, character chemistry, character personalities, drama, romance, banter, action, and spice. ‘Weres and Witchery’ is among one of the best escapes I’ve had in a while.” – @Morally_Gray_Nola

Maybe he can get his brothers for fall for her.

But his plan is crushed when danger threatens all he holds dear.

Short review: Read it!

Cherise Sinclair is a must buy, must read author. This stand-alone is easy to follow and difficult to put down. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Compelling, beautiful storyline of healing hearts, minds and a town. Descriptive writing that draws the reader into each scene. Realistic procedures, actions and reactions. The responses of the characters to various problems shows how it can and should be done to build a better life for all concerned. Believable characters with distinct personalities and their own emotional baggage. Thought-provoking, memorable and occasionally humorous dialogue.

“I think it’s because IQ and testosterone are incompatible, so when one increases, the other goes down.”

I will re-read this story and always look forward to, pre-order when possible, new works by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heather’s Story
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023

This is Heather’s story who we met over the past several books but got to know more in the previous book. This one is about “those dang Canadians” apparently. The way things go down with Pete were interesting, I did find it odd that Herne kept him alive. It doesn’t seem to be his normal MO with The Laws and such. But him and Gretchen were sort of after thoughts and the tension from outside the relationship was really nil. Most of the conflict arose from their own preconceived notions. I did like mates. I like how we see them over time getting to know Heather but I didn’t like how some things were glossed over, or how we would mention some people and then kind of they’d disappear. Overall I enjoyed the book and can’t wait to see what happens with Moya.

Feeling a bit betrayed...
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019

I say betrayed because in book one Theoden talked about how he usually doesn't 'share' his children, but in book two he's sharing them out left and right, even using them as pawns to get things he wants. He pimps Noel out more than once to acquire things to further his own ends, and not just Noel either. On one hand Theoden 'thinks' to himself about caring about Noel, and then his actions betray that by his pimping Noel out at the drop of a hat. How can you care about someone but then treat them like their some object without feelings? But then again we're talking about a sadomasochist who tortures and maims people and sends children to slaughter. I just felt the author wasn't consistent with Theoden's view of his children. You can't say, "I don't usually share" and then the following book be handing them out like candy... unless the author is trying to portray him as some sort of hypocrite who, like so many humans, say one thing but do the exact opposite while still believing they're behaving like they initially claim.

Overall the book was awesome and I couldn't put it down... now I'm looking forward to continuing Dante's saga and hearing more of how things go with Deacon's new 'mate

Can there be too much sex?
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
If you like violent dominating vampires, torture and LOTS of M/M sex, you will love this author. But about this point in the series it starts to get to the point where you really want them to get on with the actual plot and all the sex and violence is sort of in the way. Because this author actually has a pretty interesting plot under all that sex. I know! who expects that? So I found I was actually getting bored with the sex scenes (which is so unlike me). I will say I liked the previous books in this series slightly better as they had a good balance going between telling the story and hot scenes of lust and dominance- and hope to get back to see if the series finds its equilibrium again in the next part

This is the second book in The New Haven Book Series
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020
What can I say about this book of for this whole series well I started with Joel's story Chained in Darkness I'm not gonna lie this type of book is very hard for me to read . I had to stop and start a lot I just hated everybody except Noel . I hated what happened too him how he was betrayed and how he was turned/Embraced against his will but I kept going because I was hoping for a story in stead of all the over the top SEX . I get that because of their nature being the children of Theoden that they have to live a certain way and I understood that after the Author finally explained this . And the story got better and better after I found out about all the brother's their back story and what kind of men they where before they were embraced . Not only that but I understood were Theoden was coming from in the way he ran his family and city . And finally we get to see Noel evolve into the vampire that he will become . I'm actually looking forward too continuing this series and trust me I didn't think that I'd ever say that Lol
