Booke of the Hidden (#1)
After a relationship gone sour in California, Kylie Strange moves to rural Maine for a fresh start. But she gets more than she bargained for when she finds a supernatural book bricked into the wall of her new shop, Strange Herbs & Teas. As soon as she opens the Booke of the Hidden, the quiet town of Moody Bog suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. First, a mysterious and handsome stranger calling himself Erasmus Dark shows up unannounced, warning Kylie of untold destruction. And then a local man turns up dead in a most peculiar way, and not long after, the ruggedly attractive Sheriff Ed targets Kylie as a suspect. It soon becomes apparent that this Erasmus Dark is not quite human at all and knows more than he is willing to admit. But with his reluctant help and the help of a ragtag group of misfit Wiccans, Kylie begins to unravel the Booke’s secrets, and finds that the killer is much more sinister than could ever be imagined.
Reviews
“Readers sad about the ending of Charlaine Harris’s Midnight, Texas trilogy will find some consolation in Moody Bog.”
“BOOKE OF THE HIDDEN is paranormal romance perfection [...] Jeri Westerson is flawless in this tale of adventure, mystery and saucy romance. The pages reverberate with passion, and absolutely no wrong can come from vivid characters and a hero to die for.”RT Book Reviews
“If you love well written tales of magic, curses, mystery and horror with a bit of romance I think you’d enjoy this book.”
“BOOKE OF THE HIDDEN is a perfect start to a new series and I can’t wait for the next one! [...] If you enjoy urban fantasy, don’t miss this book! Or should I say ‘Booke.'”
“Subversively clever, this book sneaks up on you, teasing you to a final twist that leaves you panting for the next book. Westerson creates an utterly believable history of witches, demons, and magic for her claustrophobic New England village and peoples it with rich and wonderful characters, including a heroine with enough spark, smarts, and stubbornness to keep both the bad guys and the deliciously dangerous love-interest on their toes. Definitely a keeper!”Kat Richardson, author of the Greywalker series
“The power of tea compels you to read this devilishly delightful Booke!”Maria Alexandra, Bram Stoker Award-winning Author of Snowed and Mr. Wicker
