The Witches of Keating Hollow series has been a blast. I’ve been devouring the books off Kindle Unlimited.
I just love the small town of Keating Hollow. It’s a wonderful magical community where everyone knows everyone and what’s going on. Each book in the series brings us a new couple to enjoy as well as new drama and emotional struggles. I just love the light magical feel and the heartfelt romances. This series is full of facing what life throughs at us, healing oneself, finding love and family and friendships.
Hope “Luna” Scott grew up in foster care and has bounced around. Chad Garber is trying to start over after losing everything important to him. These two both have secrets that will turn their lives upside down.
This book is a bit different from previous books in the series (maybe a little darker).. It talks about the treatment on foster kids. We also get several surprises twists and meet a street teen, Levi. Hope & Chad’s romance might be able bloom if the demons from their past don’t destroy what they are building. There are sweet moments and emotional struggles (have tissues on hand). This was another emotional and sweet romance.
Rated: 4 Stars
Love of the Witch is the sixth book in the Witches of Keating Hollow series. I recommend reading the series in order as the books build upon each other. Love of the Witch is an expressive novel with surprising twists and arousing interludes. Deanna Chase has an engaging writing style that draws the reader into the story. Hope or Luna as she wishes to be called just wants a new start and to finally put down roots. After her adoptive mother died, she was moved from one foster home to another. The last person Luna expected to encounter is Chad Garber. Chad knew Luna as Hope five years ago and he provided a safe haven from her latest foster home. But then the incident happened, and Luna’s plans went down the drain. Chad has lost his career after injuring his arm and has returned to his hometown. He is surprised to see Luna, but it will provide Chad with a chance to rectify the past. Each have past issues that are bothering them and Levi, a street teen, might be the answer. I do not want to say too much and spoil the story for you. I like how everything tied together into one magical tale. I enjoy the Townsend family with their caring hearts and generous nature. There are sweet moments that will touch your heart in Love of the Witch (have a tissue on hand). Love of the Witch is an emotional novel with unexpected revelations that will affect many lives in Keating Hollow.
Audiobook review: Love Hope & Chad’s story. The storyline is interesting, entertaining, heart breaking, & heart warming. The characters are likable and believable. The narrator did a fantastic job!!
As with all books in this series, there’s a sense that you’re watching a Witchy Hallmark channel. This book turns a little dark again as Chase tackles some difficult topics: injustice in the foster care system, and homosexuality. As someone who was adopted at birth, when she started talking about birth parents, and choosing your family when you don’t have quality family to choose from, it hit home on some strong emotions.
The characters weren’t my favorite in the series, but they weren’t unlikeable. Until chapter what, 3?, Luna was sooo mousey that I wasn’t sure how well the book would go if she would continue to be so timid, shy, and afraid of darn near everything. It was so different from how she ended up being. Thankfully we have a couple that starts talking through issues from the beginning! The book was a little predictable, but when Chase threw the curveball, son of a witch was it a doozie! And they just kept coming! These are only a few of the books I’ve read where I physically gasp when there’s a twist, and that’s saying something. There were a few times during the story where Chase would set a scene, and start to explain something, and the scene would change to something else so it didn’t seem as fluid as it should have been. The characters would kind of accept what was said without questioning further and as a reader, I sat back and said HUH? Until a few chapters down the road, it would be finally explained.
In all, this was still a gut-wrenching, chalk full of happiness, exceptional paranormal romance book by Chase, and I can’t wait to read the next one!
The sixth installment of the series of Keating Hollows for me while it was sweet and had a dash of romance I felt like it was a bit serious and bittersweet. No spoilers, but know that it is such a great read. I may have cried a few times. My heart ached for what Luna experienced at a younger age as well as ache for another character we get to meet in this book.
I listened to the audiobook, and I highly recommend it. Gabra does a great job and literally she gutted me (in a good way) in this particular book. Bravo!!
Keating Hollow an home village full of witches who everyone knows every one business and everyone protects everyone.
Luna Scott moved here for a fresh start. Her birth mom had named her hope then Dumped her into the system. Were life sucked. So she changed her name, new job plus she works with a well known healer saving people’s lives. Then someone from her past showed up. Chad Garber ex famous piano player. He has come home to Keating Hollow.
Then there is a young boy needing help. Let’s not forget bad guys I love to hate on the bad guys!
Wow what a story so many twists and turns it’s amazing. I loved everyone of them! Plus there is action, drama, mystery, and more . I couldn’t put it down and didn’t want to. I didn’t want it to be over! Lol don’t miss it. The woman that read this in audible is fantastic and really adds to this story.
Voluntarily review a copy and I honestly loved it
I liked the characters, but the magic was disappointing. No real rhyme or reason to why they had magic and what could be done with it. I read the second book, too, and can see that the series is formulaic. I usually her books, but this was not up to her normal standards.
4 stars. Love the characters.
Love the characters and setting ofvthisvseries
While I’ve been reading books by this author for years, I have to say it seems that she just gets better and better with each novel. This one doesn’t disappoint for one single word. Luna, the new “witch” in town has years of pain and disappointment following her but all she wants out of life is a fresh start and a family of her own. Too bad Chad has also found his way to Keating Hollow. Chad is her biggest heartbreak, though he doesn’t even realize it. As a man 10 years her senior, he was just trying to help the teen foster kid in the neighborhood. Now that they are both adults, he sees Luna in a different light. All the feels are in this one and it’s a wonderful reading experience.
Luna was finally getting the life she wanted. She had a good job with a boss she liked in a town she could settle in for life. If only she could keep her secret. Things were going great until she saw Chad. What was a world-famous musician doing here? The man she’d had a crush on for years even when she was way too young. She isn’t too young anymore.
Chad couldn’t believe Hope/Luna was here in this town. She’d grown into a beautiful woman and his feelings were no longer just to help a kid who’d been run over by the foster system of some disgusting people.
When they started to see where or if they could take their feelings anywhere a young teen in a similar situation as she’d been in needed help. It wasn’t easy to gain his trust. Trying to settle into their professional lives, find time for each other, help the kid, and avoid her past made for a busy time. Could they possibly find a life together and help a deserving kid?
This is another consuming story in Keating Hollow and the witches who make up the town. Finding how the Townsend family fits into her life with one sister as her boss and others running businesses in town fill all the character needs any reader has as well as a story with unexpected twists. Loyalty and love fill the hearts of the people in this town making for one of those satisfied smiles after reading THE END.
Hope, who now goes by Luna, moves to Keating Hollow to work as a massage therapist at Faith Townsend’s spa. She runs into Chad at the brewery. He was a good friend to her when she was younger and she eventually fell in love with him even though he never knew it. Chad moved to Keating Hollow after he broke his hand and he could no longer play the piano. They both lived in abusive homes even though she did not know that Chad was going through the same issues that she was. He was her safe haven. Chad and Luna stumble across Levi when Chad was helping Luna move from Eureka to Keating Hollow. Levi had an abusive home life too. Chad and Luna take him in and try to provide a better environment for him. There were some big reveals and surprising twists in this book. This book is a little darker since it deals with the abuse that can occur in foster homes, but there are still many witchy elements in the story. This story still revolves around the Townsend girls and their connection to Luna. There is drama, intrigue, romance. I voluntarily reviewed this book.
The sixth installment of the Witches of Keating Hollow deals with hope, courage, love and family. That being said, it was a little dark for me. Too much emphasis put on treatment of foster kids in “the system”. I prefer more humor and more “witchiness” in my reading.
Again, Deanna Chase, as hit a home run with the Keating Hollow series. I am amazed that every book in the series has been the best one yet in my honest opinion! The author has out done herself with each book and every time I have read the next book in the series I think “Wow this has to be her best one yet” but the next book comes out and I say this is the best one…
Well this is the best one…
Hope “Luna” Scott wants a new lease on life…shuffled from foster home to foster home most of her life…she wants to put down roots. Her last foster home was the absolute worse one…her foster mom was selling illegal potions and had Hope running for her. But Hope gets caught and spends 3 years in juvenile detention.
When she gets out she moves to Keating Hollow and works as a massage therapist with Faith Townsend being her boss…things are starting to look up for Hope, who changed her name to Luna, trying to get a fresh start…
Enter Chad…Hope/Luna hasn’t seen him in 3 years and they become friends again. Life starts to pick up and Hope is thinking that just maybe she can put her past behind her…but can she? Can she forget what happened to her and start living her life in Keating Hollow?
So much happens in this book that I just couldn’t put it down…I had to keep reading. I had tears in my eyes and I was rooting for Hope to find the life that she wanted so badly…
Did Hope/Luna find happiness? Or does her past come back to haunt her…
You have to read the book to find out…I highly recommend the series “Witches of Keating Hollow” and again if the town was real I would be moving there so fast it would make your head spin!
I’m not one to fuss about covers but the covers for each of the 6 books in this series are amazing! You know the old saying Never judge a book by it’s cover…well the books are just as wonderful as the covers!
Highly recommend
This book was slightly different than the other books in the series. I don’t want to say much to spoil it, but this book is more than just the sweet romance we’ve come to expect from the series. In a good way, don’t worry. What this book also contains is the wonderful writing, sweet romance, and intriguing characters we know from this writer. Luna is a wounded woman who needs to find stability and love, and will Chad, a man from her past, fulfill that role, or will the demons from her past come back to take everything away? This has is all: love, redemption, second chances, surprises (what a surprise a couple things were!!), and tears. Love this book; it was a great addition to the series. Highly recommend! I received a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
Hope/Luna and Chad…
I was wondering where this story would take me but wow, I have to say I was totally surprised with the emotional roller coaster Love of the Witch took me on but it was a very pleasant surprise.
Hope/Luna has a past but then who doesn’t…lol as it turns out her past was so much more than even she knew and even though shit happened, in the end, it brought Hope/Luna to Keating Hollow, reunited her with Chad the guy she had a crush on years ago and brought so much magic into her life it will never be the same again in so many good ways.
The story was just fantastically sweet, I cried, I laughed, I got angry and I cried some more…
Hope proves you really can turn your life around and unexpected things are not always bad…
The twist and turns in this story just brought it all together beautifully I enjoyed it a lot probably the most out of the 6 books in this series so far.
