The Witches of Scotland Romance Series: Byres Road (The Gathering of the Seven Book 1)
Steven P Aitchison
Tilly Firefly Nguyen spent her life perfecting the art of smiling through the pain, bending to the comfort of others while her own needs were buried deep within. A marriage that shattered her spirit and a life that never felt quite like her own led her to Salem, Massachusetts, where fate—disguised as a mysterious invitation—pulled her toward the Crescent Inn and the annual Blueberry Festival. Years later, Tilly is finally rediscovering herself among a new coven of friends, embracing a life where she can simply be. But just as she's finding peace amongst hot flashes and the tantalizing looks a certain stoic police chief with his own biting secret gives her, a new darkness sweeps into Salem. A trio of powerful witches arrives with odd magic and a dark agenda. The Lost Souls Coven finds itself thrust into the heart of a brewing war between magic and malevolence, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Between strange occurrences, whispers of a witch hunt, and a political battle of dark magic, Tilly’s newfound ability to feel the emotions of others while the whisper of her old friend anxiety tests her like never before. Anxiety, hot flashes, dark magic, and fangs... oh my. Will The Lost Souls Coven survive an ancient battle of dark magic? And will Tilly keep hold of herself amongst old ghosts, darkness and a burgeoning magic of her own? Welcome to Salem—where nothing is as it seems, and even the magic has secrets.
Whitney WMagical Realism and Romance At Its Finest
"This book was a total love–hate relationship. I absolutely loved it, but I hated that it closes the chapter on The Lost Souls Series. Once again, readers are swept into a world of magical realism, where the only things more potent than the drinks and hexes are the bonds between the women of the Lost Souls Coven. The plot in this one really ups the ante on both the magic and the drama. You’ll be on the edge of your seat for one reason or another. While this story focuses on Tilly, the entire coven shines once again. The alternating POV from Bess adds emotional depth, and we finally get the answers we’ve been craving about Crystal’s past. Tilly herself is such a layered character – I found myself constantly switching between empathizing with her and completely relating to her. And honestly, a chief of police who looks like a young Tom Selleck and happens to be a vampire… do I really need to say more? The Moon Drinks Mojitos is the perfect ending to this enchanting series. Finishing it feels like the bittersweet end of a long, cozy visit with dear friends. Reading The Lost Souls Series has always felt like those lazy afternoons spent on the couch with your closest people, you’re comfortable, supported, and never in a hurry to leave. ["
