Black Hallow, the place where anything can happen. But can a banshee, named April, help solve the mystery of the circus? Or will she be played the fool?
I loved this story. I love Black Hallow! I can not wait to read more of the adventures that will happen there. April and Wyatt clearly love people, love helping those in need and love making others happy. But how can all that be tied into death, accidental or murder.
Author Robbie Cox pulls you in on the first page and continues to hold you until the very end. Highly recommend this story!
LOVED! The mystery in this book kept me hanging. Seriously, once I started it I was so drawn in that I did not put it down. April is a banshee… and the powers that be call her to pay a visit to Wyatt. She has a vision of his Grandfather dying. Once a banshee is called then there is no changing fate. How often does a banshee see the person that they were sent to warn at a time when they can have a conversation? How bad can his be? The events that unfold are meant to happen, however there can always be a better ending. There is more than mystery and death to this story. The journey to April and Wyatt’s HEA is filled with heat, danger, and more.
APRIL’S FOOL is the fourteenth book in the multi-author Black Hollow series. Each one is a stand-alone paranormal romance set in the mythical town of Black Hollow where paranormal people are safe to be themselves.
You can’t call it a meet-cute when she’s – literally – a screaming banshee and he can’t understand a word she’s saying as she is trying to warn him of the impending death of a family member. Then she sees him again, and, for the first time in her very long life, she has the chance to repeat her warning in English!
As they race to try to prevent murders they believe will happen, they question their feelings that are quickly developing. Because of her magic, she is more intimately associated with death. I believe that makes her more accepting of the idea that she and Wyatt should grab the passion they feel while it’s in front of them, regardless of the circus concerns they are also facing.
I have loved the Black Hollow books I have been privileged to read thus far – I only wish I had read them all! As a child, I wanted to be a witch, a genie, a mermaid. Now, I want to be a witch, a genie, or a mermaid who lives in Black Hollow.

Fantastic!
A very mysterious and suspenseful story!
A paranormal circus – just boggles the mind, but opens up so many unique and interesting possibilities!
I love the family relationship within the circus and the obvious love and loyalty Wyatt has for his Grandfather and Ringleader of the Phantom Circus. This story takes unusual beings that one associates with the unknown, fear, horror and death and makes them into magical people with mad skills. It takes the normal and the mystery out of the equation and makes them part of the surreal story. The bearded woman gets replaced by the korrigan that can shift into anything!
It’s all about solving an unexplained death, a warning by a banshee of impending death of a loved one and a future death yet unknown. Almost everyone is under suspicion, there is a possible murder, betrayal and there is a very sweet romance with a magical love, oh, and there is hot sex!
You get it all the right here, folks! Come one, come all! Great story, I loved it!
This story was so creative and very emotional.. April and Wyatt met in the most unconventional way but she is drawn to him and will go against everything she is and knows to help save his family and circus.. This story was so good and original.. I am addicted to Black Hollow .. I love the characters and the stories they just keep getting more and more amazing and creative..
Murder has come to Black Hollow along with a paranormal circus. Amidst this atmosphere a Banshee and a human/korrigan hybrid fall in love. This is a sweet sometimes sad tale of love and murder. A fantastic addition to Black Hollow.
Black Hollow: April’s Fool by Robbie Cox.
A good read. Good story and some good characters. I liked the cover too. 4*.
Circus is in town
Black Hollow is a paranormal town and the circus has arrived. This story really had my imagination going with the possibilities of the circus being run by paranormals.
I enjoyed April and Wyatt’s story. It had a lot of twists and was emotional.
April is resigned to her fate as a banshee in Black Hollow. However, things become personal when she warns Wyatt that his grandfather, the Ringmaster of Compton’s Phantom Circus, is in mortal danger. Being part korrigan, Wyatt is used to strange things, but he cannot forget the screaming persona he saw, and April can’t get Wyatt out of her system, either. Robbie Cox has created a love story within a suspenseful mystery. I loved reading about this half korrigan and banshee couple, and the fantastic circus family.

The circus has come to the town of Black Hollow, this time bringing a killer along and compelling Banshee April McCray and half-korrigan Wyatt Compton to join forces in a race to save his grandfather. Their task is made much more difficult with the killer being a korrigan, small dwarf-like shapeshifting spirits who used to haunt fountains, which can be hiding under anyone’s identity! Yet despite the fast-action sleuthing, the two find themselves beginning to fall in love. Can the two of them stop the killer from killing the Ringmaster? Or does Fate have something else planned?
This is a wonderful story line that will draw the reader in with the suspense. The characters are well-portrayed and likable. Grab your copy and come to the circus – if you dare!
This is an intriguing and well written book to the Black Hollow series with the paranormal circus in town. The author once again does a fantastic job bringing a cast of strong characters , centering on April and Wyatt and a story filled with suspense,mystery and murder. Add in the sweet love story and you have a true page turner that captured and held me from start to finish. Another great book to the Black Hollow series!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
Robbie Cox is an author I now look for. See the name on the cover and you know the story will be original, well written and memorable. This book proves that point. The storyline revolves about some superbly charismatic characters, a twisting plot, and a creatively detailed background. The book blurb accurately describes the story outline but gives none of the detail away.
I could not put the book down, and knew this would be the case from previous incidents. I started early morning and read with only a minimum outbreaks until the end.
Loved it!
5 stars from me.

I have to say, this book wasn’t what I was expecting. It has a circus full of paranormals and a banshee that is trying to help one of her victims. Murder and mayhem abound. This was a really good mystery/love story. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it.
