From New York Times Bestselling Author, Kristen Proby, comes Spells, the next installment in her gripping Bayou Magic series… control.
Like the powerful and broody warlock who’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember—and even the lifetimes I often can’t. Things almost as dangerous as Lucien Bergeron’s hold on me and the breathtaking smiles only I get to see.
Or the evil still stalking the streets of New Orleans that beckons to me to see. To feel. To die.
With everything riding on a razors-edge, and things that have been portended coming to fruition, threatening both me and those I love, I’m not sure if I’m strong enough to resist my fate. Or his charm.
If I work with Lucien, it could mean the end for both of us.
If I don’t, those I love most will pay.

Another great book done by Kristen Proby. I love this series and I can’t wait for the next book (wish it was sooner)! If you haven’t read this series yet, then I would start right now. You won’t be sorry if you get this series. I love the whole can see dead people and see the future thing.
Spells is the second of three books in the Bayou Magic series. You must read Shadows first as Spells is a continuation. If you were to ask me if I’m a fan of supernatural books, I’d say no. I usually find them hokey and a bit far fetched. Honestly, this series is so incredibly well written and absolutely believable. It is quite graphic as you are dealing with a sadistic serial killer and the story is presented from his POV at times. This is some of my favorite work by Kristen Proby, and that’s saying something!
Spells is the next step in the story of three sisters, Brielle, Millie, and Daphne. All three sisters come from a magical background and all possess special gifts. In Spells, we follow Maggie and her journey towards self discovery and a battle she knows is coming. She is the only of the three sisters who is a practicing witch. She’s very involved with her coven and practices her spell making abilities daily. She is a “kitchen witch,” so she specializes in potions and uses these skills frequently in her cafe “The Witches Brew.” Millie has seen signs that the horrible Horace has returned, but she’s ignoring them. Will she realize that she MUST take a stand, recognize what is right in front of her, and use her skills and talents to defeat Horace again?
Kristen Proby definitely had me under her spell with Spells!! She knows how to weave an intricate tale that will keep you captivated right from the start. You must read Shadows first as this is a continuation of that story. I absolutely loved it!!
I am usually not much for paranormal romance, but this series- Bayou Magic- by Kristen Proby is absolutely fantastic! I can’t believe how drawn I am to it!
Millie, a hedgewitch and psychic, loves her life with the local coven, her sisters, and her little coffee shop Witches Brew. But after things went down with Brielle the previous year, they’re waiting for more. Lucien, another witch in the coven, is determined for Millie to realize that they’re meant to be forever. Horace is back to taunt them, and they must come together to defeat him, yet again. And they’ll need all their Powers to accomplish that.
Oh my goddess, this was so good! I absolutely loved Lucien and Millie! Their love was so connected, and it was just so pure! I got wrapped up in the story and couldn’t put it down!
This series just keeps getting better~ and I don’t know how I’ll wait for Daphne’s story to find out the absolute conclusion. Spells is the second book in this series of connected stand-alones. While you don’t have to read Shadows first, it would be highly recommended to (as it will give you the backstory). I can’t wait for more
Words just can not describe how much I am loving this series…but I’ll try lol.
I love paranormal romance! But I haven’t much lately you know tastes change and evolve. But I still have my favorites Heather Graham, Kay Hooper, and especially Nora Roberts and her amazing paranormal trilogies.
Shadows and Spells have had all the best feelings that a N.R series brought me but even better because no one can make me care for their characters as Kristen Proby can. Which just makes for a book you want to read again and again..Which is why I’m on my 3rd reading because I can’t get enough.
Millie and Lucien’s love story was absolutely beautiful.Their romance is so strong and their story is fasinating. They are just the very definition of soul mates. Like I said these characters are so amazing. Esme is quirky and I just love her, I love seeing some favorites from New Orleans. Brielle & Cash are dreamy and I can’t wait for Daphne & Jackson in Serendipity.
Let’s not forget the paranormal part of paranormal romance.
1. I love that the three sisters are witches. I can’t wait to see the whole story completed. It’s going to be epic.
2. Their daddy gives me serious creeps haha.
3. Horace is just goosebump inducing goodness haha. The term flesh suit is going to stay with me for a while. lol
Spells was an absolute 5-star amazing read. I can’t wait for more when the six are finally together.
Spells was the perfect read as we near Halloween. It has a mix of scary, sweet, romance, and mystery. I was entranced as I read this book. The intensity and the suspense-I couldn’t wait to see how it would play out. Kristen Proby is a gifted storyteller and Spells demonstrates that. Lucien and Millie are the true definition of soulmates. I loved their story. This is a captivating and enchanting read. I can’t wait for Serendipity, the last book in this trilogy and see how it all culminates. Man the year needs to go fast haha.
4.5 stars! If you give soulmates and witches I’m 100% sure I’m going to like the book. We met Millie and Lucian in Shadows and I was so excited for this book. I’m all about the paranormal right now, just in time for Halloween. This was the perfect book for the season. I love that she is releasing these books during this season, but I don’t want to wait till next year for Daphne’s story!
Lucian knows that Millie is his soulmate. They have been meeting in each lifetime and he remembers each time they have fallen in love. Millie’s gift is growing and she is starting to dream of her lives with Lucian and is ready to not fight her destiny anymore. As soon as she accepts her fate as Lucian’s soulmate, she begins to feel the power that grows inside them both because of their connection. They have been fighting the same force each lifetime and each lifetime they are ripped apart early. This lifetime is going to be different. The 6 will come together to fight this spirit and they will all be able to carry out their destinies.
I loved the soulmate aspect. Coming back in each lifetime to be reunited with each other. It makes my heart soar. I just wish I didn’t pick up on the twist in the book so early, and the end was a little rushed to me. I really cannot wait for the next book in this series and can’t wait for more of these sisters and their loves that were written in the stars.
And the magic continues. I really enjoyed book one – it had me reading way past bed time. But I simply adore Millie and Lucien. Their story melted my heart. The thought of a love like theirs lasting through lifetimes – sigh. Loved this book!
Once again Kristen has delivered a read that’s spine-chilling, blood-curdling and goosebump inducing from the evil lurking page after page of this captivating read.
Be prepared…… once you start reading you won’t be able to stop because it will intrigue you with the story, enchant you with the characters and seduce you with the love story that unfolds between Millie and Lucien.
If you thought Shadows was creepy, menacing and shocking you haven’t seen anything yet; in fact, you may not want to read this one in the dark (evil laughs)!
Until recently, I’ve never been much of a paranormal fan, but Kristen Proby has absolutely revolutionized the genre for me. She blew me away with Shadows and now with Spells, she masterfully crafts an intricate thriller, where our serial killer is still on the loose and is set on exacting his revenge.
Her tale of witchcraft & wizardry will cast a magical spell on you, keeping you hanging on to every word to see if the ever-present evil lurking about will finally reveal itself. And if that weren’t enough, the tale of a love so true – souls that have been bound to one another through the millenia- will totally melt your heart.
“I remember each time we met and fell in love and got married. I remember our children, when they were born and how it felt to hold them. I remember making love to you. We’ve shared so much good over the millennia we’ve been linked, Millie. I’m glad I remember it.”
Lucien and Millie were born for one another and will absolutely have you believing in soul mates. I loved that they were stronger together and they were just so in tune with one another. I’ve fallen so hard for these three sisters, I feel invested in their fight and cannot wait until the six are together to defeat all odds.
