When danger and desire collide, a witch with a sordid past and a special agent with nothing to lose must form an unlikely alliance.

While trying to escape her past, kick-ass witch Willow McCray dispenses her own brand of justice swiftly and without mercy, until she crosses paths with sexy Magickal Bureau of Investigations Agent, Alex Denopoulos.

Now, she must use her powers for good if she wants to stay out of the mage prison, Hellios.

Alex will stop at nothing to catch a killer, including recruiting notorious felon, Willow McCray, to work for the agency. While under his guard, the lines between duty and passion become blurred with the red-haired beauty.

His penchant for justice and deep-seated hatred of witches makes a future together seem impossible.

But he’s not ready to let her go. Now he’ll risk more than his badge to keep her alive.

If only Willow can vanquish the evil surrounding them and give Alex what he wants—before she loses her heart and even her very soul in the process.

If you like Hailey Edwards, Lisa Edmonds, BR Kingsolver, or Jennifer Blackstream, you’ll love this paranormal romance with mystery, magic, and suspense!

4.0 out of 5 stars Urban Fantasy Romance
Reviewed in Canada on May 7, 2019
Willow McCray is trying to escape from the demon crime lord she used to work for. She is hoping her friend Maeve will be able to help her, but discovers that she has been murdered. Willow gets swept up in the investigation of Maeve’s death, and it soon becomes clear that someone is killing witches from her old coven. She reluctantly works with Magickal Bureau of Investigations agent Alex Denopoulos. Alex hates witches and doesn’t trust Willow, but needs her skills and her knowledge of the coven. Together they work to uncover the murderer while fighting their increasing desire for each other.
This is an enjoyable urban fantasy romance. I appreciated that Willow was a strong character who could take care of herself. Alex was conflicted and fought his initial attraction to Willow. It was nice that the characters didn’t jump into bed right away. I would have liked if the mystery had been solved using some investigation rather than Willow using her powers to find the truth. Willow, and the bureau agents, all missed a fairly obvious clue as to how the murderer was getting access to the witches of the coven. The novel moved quickly, however, and was a fun read. Contains some pretty explicit sexual content.

I would recommend this book for fans of urban fantasy and paranormal romance.

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the summer!
Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2020
I found this book to be a nice easy read. The characters are relatable and the story has a nice flow. Though I found the dialogue to be overly dramatic and basic at time, the bones of the story are good. I can also see how this could easily lead to future books with the same group of characters. Perfect for summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Made my heart race and plunge to my feet. . .
Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2019
Willow McCray is a witch who can take care of herself and blurs the lines between self-preservation and vigilante. From the moment she sees Alex, a sizzling attraction burns inside her. When she discovers who Alex is and that her best friend has been brutally murdered, she teams up with Alex as a psychic to find the serial killer who’s exterminating witches and absorbing their powers across the city. The closer they get to discovering who the killer is, the hotter the passion ignites between Willow and Alex. Willow doesn’t want to be a one-night stand but she can’t deny how she feels. As they explore their new relationship, the killer has its sights set on Willow. Will Alex be able to protect her from the serial killer or will Alex lose his nerve once again?

Wow, this book made my heart race and plunge to my feet as I was reading it. There’s so much to this story than just the passion between Willow and Alex. There’s suspenseful scenes with everyone trying to catch the serial witch killer. There’s the hateful bias Alex has against witches. There’s the family dynamics of a coven and overcoming bad feelings to work together for the common good. There’s the loneliness Willow feels and her yearnings to be a part of a family. There’s action, magic and romance which brings everything together in one gripping story.

The writing is so well done, I didn’t want to put it down. I kept thinking about who the killer may be and why it is murdering these witches in such a sadistic way when I wasn’t reading. A few plot twists I didn’t see coming made me gasp aloud. The ending was just, wow! It whets my appetite for the next book.

If you’re looking for an urban fantasy which will keep you enthralled, pick up Midnight Desire today. I can’t wait to read more!

Disclaimer: I received a copy from the author in the hopes I'd review it.

Favorite Character/Quote: Willow. She seriously kicks butt and I love that about her. She reminds me of Faith in Buffy. A lonely woman who hides behind a mask of sarcasm. Her growth throughout the book is immense and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

My Rating: 5+ stars

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Characters
Reviewed in Canada on April 26, 2019
Although this novel could benefit from more editing, as several errors slipped through the cracks, it was still a very enjoyable read. The characters have strong personalities and show depth and growth. The antagonist is truly evil and although it was at times disturbing to read, his madness really helped showcase Willow's goodness and strength of will. There's also a fair amount of action, as well as a rather steamy romance. I would definitely consider reading more from this author! *Update: I've been told the errors have been corrected now :)

Characters: Firstly a witch, then a witch hater, then two murders.....sounds good so far. Then the story is highjacked by a teenage sex fantasy......everytime she looks at him "her nipples harden" everytime he looks at her "she can feel his erection " .....He worked through a dead body investigation with his erection trying to burst out of his pants.......OMG how childish......I got to 32% and decided I didn't want to read this dross. There is no way around the poor writing to get to the story.

This is the first tale in the Witches of Raven's Hollow series. I read the second book first but they are stand alones and can be enjoyed out of order as I did. Willow is a feisty and brave heroine and Alex a drool-worthy hero. Their love is sizzling, so be prepared for some hot scenes! Where Alex started as a macho character, he became very caring and brave with Willow's help. They face a fearsome villain and some perilous situations so the book was well-paced. If you like paranormals, don't miss this interesting, well-written and unique series!
