Can Nola complete her mission before falling completely under his spell? Nana Fee, on her deathbed, makes her granddaughter Nola Leary promise to hunt down the Elements, four everyday objects owned by Nola's late grandfather.
If Nola can't find them quickly, her family's renowned healing abilities will disappear. The Elements are most likely hidden somewhere in Nola's grandfather's bookstore, now owned by vampire Jane Jameson. Nola reluctantly heads from Ireland to Kentucky and enlists the help of Jane and her friends while trying not to be distracted by hunky local Jed Trudeau, who has a few secrets of his own. Harper fans will be thrilled by this return to the hysterical world of Jane and crew, and even more delighted to add Nola's new face to the mix.
I don't think it ever 'boiled' actually, even at the climax. The odd laugh here and there. It seemed more like a book written as a roundabout way to check in with characters from previous books, who are already loved by readers, than a tale belonging to its main character. Who was rather mild, bordering on boring for a witch, now that I mention it. I didn't really feel invested in her plight. Jed was pretty 'meh' too. Aside from that, the writ This was a slow boil type of book. Aside from that, the writing flowed well enough.
Cute and inoffensive overall I guess. Nov 29, Deanie Nelder rated it really liked it. In order to save her family's magical legacy, Irish witch Nola Leary has to cross an ocean to Half-Moon Hollow, Kentucky, to find four magical objects her grandmother entrusted to her grandfather -- a man Nola's never met. Molly Harper is great at supernatural rom-com, though I think this might have been better if I'd read the previous Jane Jameson and Half-Moon Hollow books I've read some, but not all.

The story was a bit thin, the love story was all tell no show and I didn't really warm to the characters. It wasn't a bad book, but it's really not a good book either.

There are some funny bits and old friends from previous books and those were a reason enough to keep reading it. Another enjoyable entry into this series! Fun plot, likeable leads, awesome fun times with Jane and her beloved gang, and just excellent escapism. Definitely recommend this series to paranormal romance fans and listening to it is a must!
Feb 19, Feminista rated it really liked it Shelves: arc , paranormal-romance. On this journey that she meets her great-great-great times-a-couple grandfather, Jane Jameson from another Molly Harper series, and several other great people, but most importantly of all, she meets Jed.
What I loved most about this novel was its sweet paranormal romance. About half way through the book, there is a sweet moment when she is like to him, you are so pretty. I melted. Man, we girls need to do it more often!!! It was also refreshing to read about them sweet talking in bed, rather than dirty talking. Anyways, other than that, I loved how Molly Harper infused humour throughout her story.
I loved her secondary characters, of course some of these secondary characters are the primary characters in her other novels, but it is obvious that those characters are well-developed. If Molly Harper usually writes like this and manages to develop her characters well, such as she did in this instance - even in a stand-alone novel, I will definitely enjoy her other paranormal series.

She is on my auto-buy list for a reason. I count on Molly Harper to make me laugh every time I pick up one of her books not a fail. This is the reason I read Molly Harper! The Half Moon Hollow crew is back in this book in their supporting roles. You can count on Jane and crew to make you laugh, in this book we have newcomer to the crew Nola.
She is on a task to find her families artifacts, if she fails, her entire family may lose their magic. Back in Ireland Nola is the most practical of her family; I like that in this book she loses a bit of that out of necessity. Her task in general is a bit crazy so she has to go outside her comfort zone quite a bit to reach her goal. Back home, she has a straight laced boring boyfriend.
In Half Moon Hollow she has a gorgeous neighbor that tempts her more then he ought to, especially since she has a perfectly lovely boyfriend back home, or is he? While in Half Moon Hollow, things start falling apart between her and her man. Jed, is muscled, sexy and good with power tools! Plus he is a savior of small marsupials.
I mean really how can you turn that down, for boring? Lola starts asking herself that question on a regular basis. The romance in the story is a bit slow to start, for a while I was wondering if it was going to happen at all.
I pick up Molly Harper because I want to laugh uproariously and that mission was accomplished with this book. I consider that a win! While this book is light on the romance it in heavy on the laughs. So if you want to laugh, pick this one up! No other compensation was provided. Rating: 4. May 21, SoBeA rated it liked it Shelves: rt-mag , pnr. So Quickly my issues: the first half is slow, in particular on the romance front. I almost abandoned it altogether. The hero is a Total beta I've gotten to the point where this doesn't bug me as often as it used to, BUT, this time, i think his view point would have made it a lot easier for me to like him, and the rest of the story to boot.
Also, and this is really a technicality, but this is a secret baby book. Granted the h, was the secret baby, but i found myself so freaking mad at her grandmother for playing the 'I-know-best' game, and not even bothering to tell the father of her kid that he helped to create a freaking life. Now granted this is the second book in the series, and I didn't read the first, nor the series featuring Jane Jameson who appears quite a bit in this book so that could have been why, but as those two, IIRC, are both Vampire related rather then Witchy, i figured I'd be okay.
So yeah, 3 stars. Jan 16, Ian rated it really liked it Recommends it for: pretty much anyone. Molly Harper is great. Shelves: g-paranormal , t-vampires-werewolves-witches , g-cute-quirky-romance. After the death of her grandmother, Nola becomes the head of her coven of witches. Her first duty is to travel from Ireland to Half Moon Hollow, Kentucky and retrieve four magical items —— talismans that contain the power to bind their arch rivals, a coven of witches who would use their powers for evil.
On arrival she literally runs into Jed, her enigmatic neighbor who goes to ridiculous lengths to avoid being outside when the moon is out. He's hiding something but exactly what it is she can't q After the death of her grandmother, Nola becomes the head of her coven of witches. He's hiding something but exactly what it is she can't quite figure out. I honestly have no idea how she does it. This series should be getting tired but once again she manages to deliver a book enthralls from beginning to end with a very healthy dose of Molly Harper's trademark snark.
You always know what you're getting when you pick up a book from Molly Harper And this book was just that a book filled with Fantastic funny characters that you would love to meet Nola is a witch sent to Half moon hollow to retrieve some family heirlooms, there she meets some familiar and new characters.

After reading the last book in the series, I almost gave up hope. I decided to give it one more try. I am so glad I did. This book is humorous and I really enjoyed the story line. The book and the first makes the second feel as if it were written by a different author. I would loan this book to a friend. She was not wholly embracing of her abilities and seemed to want to be more normal, but happily by the end she was more comfortable in her own skin. I loved that Jane, Andrea, Dick, and Gabriel were in this one.
Enjoyed this one! Loved seeing so much of the gang! The twist was a real surprise! There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Be the first to start one ». Readers also enjoyed. About Molly Harper. Molly Harper. Molly Harper is the author of more than 30 romance titles including the Half-Moon Hollow series and the Mystic Bayou series. Yawning loudly, I decided to worry about cultural adjustments later. I was down-to-the-bone tired. My skirt and blouse were a grubby shambles. I smelled like airplane sweats and the manky Asian candy my seatmate insisted on munching for most of the flight from Dublin to New York.
It took an additional two-hour hop to Chicago and another hour ride on a tiny baby plane-let before I finally arrived in the Hollow. I just wanted to go inside, take a shower, and sleep. While I was prepared to sleep on the floor if necessary, I prayed the house was indeed furnished as Aunt Penny had promised. Living expenses were left to me to figure out. I would have to start looking for some acceptable part-time work as soon as my brain was functional again.
I squinted against the golden spring afternoon light pouring through the cab windows, interrupted only by the occasional patch of shade from tree branches arching over the little lane.
The sky was so clear and crystal blue that it almost hurt to look out at the odd little clusters of houses along the road. It was so tempting just to lay my head back, close my eyes, and let the warm sunshine beat hot and red through my eyelids. I started awake just in time to keep my face from colliding with the spotty cab window. Dwayne-Lee continued on, blithe as a newborn babe, completely oblivious. We used to dare each other to run up to the front door and ring the bell.
Dwayne-Lee had, after all, been nice enough to make a special trip to the Half-Moon Hollow Municipal Airport to pick me up. Dwayne-Lee had been sent by Iris Scanlon, who handled various business dealings for my new landlord. Anyone who tried to make my life easier was aces in my book. So from that moment on, I was a little in love with Iris Scanlon.
Less so with Dwayne-Lee, who was currently nattering on about the Wainwright place and its conversion to a rental duplex after Gilbert Wainwright had moved closer to town years before. I closed my eyes against the sunlight, and the next thing I knew, the cab was pulling to a stop. Once I knew it was skill, not lack there of I found it less distracting and was able to really enjoy the story.
Half Moon Hollow is always fun! I really enjoyed this book and was happy to learn Mr Wainwright had more family then he knew! I just wish he'd known about his granddaughter as he really would have loved her! As always Molly Harper injects a good dose of humour in her books! I love Nola's feisty attitude and she fits in well with Jane's group!
I also loved Jed and was intrigued by his abilities, I wish there could be another story with them so that maybe we could learn more about what kind of supernatural he is, if he ever finds out himself!
I loved the story and liked the resolution, that's another element of the story I'd love to learn the outcome of too. Does the treaty get worked out and does it hold up? I'd love if she did. The story was funny and sexy and Amanda did an amazing job with the voices. I enjoyed this book, however the voice for the main female character was very annoying. I can understand why the narrator had a problems with this character, her foreign accents aren't great at the best of times so being confronted with a character that has an accent that is both Irish and Bostonian must have been a really task.
The result was horrible. Apart from that the story was good. I have enjoyed this series and I am looking forward to the next one. The storyline is fantastic and great listening. I have read a lot of these books and still go back for more. I love all the books in this series. Great job by both Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi. The humor, romance and mystery is wonderfully mixed as always!
Onto the next! I'm Irish so it was harsh to listen to, apart from that it was great! Noella is funny, quippy and it's all delightfully quirky with some laugh out loud moments. Also Amanda Ronconni is amazing as always. Add to Cart failed. Please try again later. Add to Wish List failed. Remove from wishlist failed. Adding to library failed. Please try again.
