A short quick story that is well written and one I enjoyed reading. Kerry Underwood comes to Black Hollow to look for her missing sister Brandie she meets Arden McCarthy, leprechaun and bank manager at The End of the Rainbow Savings & Trust. There is a mystery to be solved,suspense, drama, danger, cluricauns, leprechauns, ogres, brownies,theft, and romance. I recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Kerry has come to Black Hollow to find her sister. We first meet Kerry when she’s checking into the only inn in town. She believes the proprietor, Mr. Sandman, is pulling her leg about the rules of the establishment that have to do with the likes of banshees, brownies, sprites, and dragons! So you might imagine that she lets out a scream when she meets a leprechaun who can change from being three-feet tall—a leprechaun’s average height—to being a size that’s more normal in the outside world. The two team up to both find her sister and work on the mystery of who is stealing from the leprechaun bank, which is what her sister came there to help figure out.
Oh, my gosh! What an incredibly fun and magically delicious read (oh, yeah, I went there!). While I understand that Black Hollow is a series, this is the first installment that I’ve read, and seriously, it is a delight. The book is written with great humor, which is what makes it so much fun. In setting up the magical aspects of this world, the author employs dry, tongue-in-cheek humor that is just a pleasure to read. To the inhabitants of the town, their abnormal existence is entirely normal; the author plays this up well but then contrasts it with Kerry’s reaction to it.
As I said, this is the first book of the Black Hollow series that I’ve read, but it certainly will not be the last.
Beautiful Story
I will have to admit that I am falling in love with Black Hollow and hoping maybe I can move in. I love this little take on leprechauns and their pot of gold. Even the little people need some love.
This book gives you a mystery to try and solve and you find yourself trying to figure out who the bad person is. I always love a good puzzle when you read a book.
The characters in this book seem perfect for each other and they don’t automatically fall in love so you can watch it happen at a distance.
Until Next Time… Tabi
Fun story!
This is the first book I’ve read in the Black Hollow series. It can be read as a stand alone but I look forward to reading the other books and learn about this town and its residents.
I really enjoyed this book and getting a different perspective on the different fairy tale creatures, especially the leprechauns. I loved the chemistry between Arden and Kerry.
I highly recommend this book.
Short and sweet, but mysterious. Kerry goes to Black Hollow to find her sister. Something has happened and it is not good. Arden wants to know who is trying to rob the bank and where is the investigator he hired. Can these two work together when neither of them can even think around the other?
I loved this book and read it in one sitting. I was hooked and loved the twists. The characters are awesome and left me wanting more.
This story was so creative and original.. I have never thought of a leprechaun as sexy but I do now… The characters both human and paranormal are so interesting each with their own story you can’t help but fall on love with them.. I absolutely love this series and cant wait to see what comes next…
