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.

I’m not much of a paranormal fan in general, but I am a HUGE Kristen Proby fan and I needed to read this series. It is so good! It’s an intricate story of sisterhood ultimately and if you are a Nora Roberts fan, you will love this series as well. I’m so glad KP decided to step out of her romance comfort zone and explore this genre. So good!!!
This is the perfect release right before Halloween and I couldn’t put it down. I love the world, characters, and story created. The sisters, magic, mystery, suspense, and of course the burning heat between the characters. I was on edge and I made sure I didn’t read this at night because it will also spook you. I loved it!
Spells is a fantastic paranormal read just in time to get you in the Halloween spirit. This is book two in the Bayou Magic series and I highly recommend you read this in series order. This is Millicent and Lucien’s story. Their love is one of centuries in the making. Their souls are tied and it is such a beautiful yet tragic story. This is one full of love, magic and those twist and turns you do not want to miss. All I can say is I loved every moment of this one and cannot wait for more of the sisters Millie, Brielle and Daphne to come. I really do not want to give away anything about this book besides how much I really do love Millie and Lucien. You really need to experience this one now.
OOOHMAHGAWD!!! I freaking loved this book! I have been waiting for what seems like ages for this book and let me just tell you that it. Was. Worth. It! Kristen Proby has slayed me with the second novel in her Bayou Magic series. If I thought I loved the first novel, Shadows then I was blown away by SPELLS! I ate up every bit of the romance with a spoon and hung on every word! Lucien and Millie’s romance was so much more than what I wished for. Their connection spans centuries, their chemistry is absolute magic, and their romance is nothing short of epic. They are the definition of soulmates. Spells is captivating, slightly creepy, and altogether consuming. It is equal parts romance and thriller and utterly unmissable. I can’t wait for the final novel in the series and what new spell Kristen Proby will cast over me. 5 spellbinding stars!
This book absolutely deserves more than 5 Bayou Magic stars!!
As always, this author has me hooked, no matter what she writes!! Spells is no difference, I finished this book throughout the day! Could not put it down!!
This book is about Millie and Lucien, and it’s simply everything. It’s swoony, lovely, you can feel the chemistry, the energy and the magic, and it’s also scary and just fantastic and nothing short of amazing!
I can’t wait to see how the story continues and am already looking forward to next year!!
This series is just getting better and better! I really enjoyed Shadows and I can promise you that Spells did not disappoint! It was a wonderful addition to the Bayou Magic trilogy and the paranormal and the dark undertones of this novel just bleed so well into one another.
I absolutely adored Millie and Lucien and I love that the two of them are each other’s soul mates, in every life they lead.
Once I started reading this, I couldn’t put it down. You know when books just transport you to their world and you wish you were living in it? Well this is exactly how I feel about this story, and the New Orleans world that Kristen has created.
I can’t believe we now have to wait until October 2021 for the conclusion of this trilogy. Daphne and Jackson intrigue me, so you know I’ll be reading Serendipity as soon as it releases!
Once again, Kristen Proby has written a beautiful, heartfelt and paranormal romance and I am in awe of her worlds and characters.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Spells was a toe curling, goosebump rising, heart racing PNR with a lot of suspense, heat and three fabulous sisters I adore!
I am digging these sisters and their witchy ways so much! Spells is full of twists, spooks, crackling with tension romance and a storyline that is crazy good. You can’t beat this kind of book. It keeps a reader glued to their chair from start to finish and its a perfect story for upcoming Halloween. I highly recommend it!
Spells gets a SPOOKTASTIC FIVE AMAZING AND THRILLING STARS!
Spells is Millicent and Lucien’s story, as well as a continuation of the story from Shadows. This book was just as creepy and suspenseful as the first. I loved learning more about the coven and it’s history, along with Lucine and Millie’s love story. It was interesting to learn why they’re so connected. I don’t want to give anything away but I loved this book and this series!
This is the second book of this series, which is the first paranormal series written by Kristen Proby.
Well, the first book was an impact…Discover the story of these three sisters which was slowly unfolding, and this evil paranormal sociopath is very impacting. Now, we will discover Millie and Lucien’s story and it is so beautiful, a couple connected for a millennium.
He is strong and romantic, and she is the modern, strong woman that completes this man and together they will face this evil serial killer. We get to know more about the six and how they will face this evil.
A very good book and entertainment, super well written and I recommend reading with a good cup of hot chocolate in a beautiful moonlight.
I loved it!
A fantastically written PNR that is addictive and magical with a little bit of a sociopath on the side, this book reminds me why I love PNR so much !!
I cant express enough how much I loved this book , well this series so far . Spells continues on from shadows and this time its millies story and ahh its a beautiful story of true soul mates, a story that is full of love, longing and heartache that transcends all time ,there is so many layers to this story and Kristen writes it beautifully.
But this is also a story of a sociopathic serial killer who reeks havoc ,death and destruction in a disturbing way .
I loved every minute of reading these books and I cant wait for the conclusion.
If you are like me and love a good pnr that grips you and pulls you into these magical worlds or even if you don’t think its your thing ….trust me it is!!
Very highly recommended
*4,5 stars*
Spells is the next installment in this PNR trilogy and is the story of Millie and Lucien who we have met in Shadows and I was very excited to read their story. Another heartstopping rollercoaster ride that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Really can’t wait to read the next one!
Millie is the owner of Witches Brew and also has magical powers since she can remember. Being a hedgewitch she has learned a lot over the years but being near Lucien always had her so confused. With everything going on around her and a looming threat still there, she realises it is time to truly find out what she and Lucien have. Finally letting go of everything makes them closer and unlocks more of their past. When a lot is happening, their bond continues to grow and even strengthens both their powers. Will they be able to fight evil again or will it be the end of it all?…
Another spooky gem. There were times when I had to put this book down, and pick it up in the daylight. I loved Millie and Lucien’s story, and I absolutely cannot wait time see how it all ends in the next installment!
Spells is the second book in the Bayou Magic series by Kristen Proby and let me tell you if you loved Shadows you will love this one too!!
Spells is the story of Millie and Lucien story, and OMG when i finished the first book i was so intrigued about this couple and what is next for the sisters and let me tell you Kristen wrote an AMAZING story!!! The sisters keep fighting the evil magic but they won’t have it easy they need to keep working together and ask for help for other people. I won´t tell you a lot about the story so you can enjoy it but let me tell you will want to read as soon as is available, because the story about this couple is just perfect. Of course the book has its suspense part that is the one it really intrigues me too and mix it with magic and all of that this book was a favorite for me!
Seriously i dont read a lot of paranormal series but this series had me captive is soo good!! if you love suspense, romance and spooky things. PLEASE I recommend you to give it a chance to this series.
I’m so excited for the last book coming next year so i can finally know how this ends for the sisters and her group!!
Spells is the second book in the Bayou Magic series by Kristen Proby. It can be read as standalone but I highly recommend reading Shadows so you have the complete story. Three sister witches. One evil being. Brielle found her love and now it’s time for Millie to give into hers. A man who is her soul mate.
Lucien and Millie have known each other for years. She started seeing him in her dreams and nightmares since childhood. Then, she saw him a decade ago in real life. From that moment she felt something between them and since then she has put up her walls. Magically and emotionally. She has enough going on in her life. He should be easy to stay away from but he has other plans. Lucien won’t push but he knows they are soul mates and have been over many lifetimes. And, now his stubborn Millicent needs to believe it. He knew something dark was coming and they need their powers, together to fight. To survive in this lifetime.
I can’t really say more than that. I can say that this is the perfect Halloween read. I am a Halloween baby so I love books like this. Witches. Evilness. Spells. This has it all and more. Family. These sisters are the best. They each bring something to the table. Magically and in support.
Overall, it’s full of witchy goodness, family, love, suspense, and brew. I can’t wait for the next book! I love that Proby releases right around Halloween.
Quotes:
“Stop reading my mind. I didn’t give you permission to do that.”
“Meow.”
“You’re new here,” I say, pointing to Sanguine. “You don’t get an opinion.”
“I can’t read you, and you know it,” Lucien replies. “And it’s damn frustrating.”
“I’m an air sign, you know,” I say.
“Oh, I’m aware. Our connection affects the energy around us. Electricity is energy. We might blow a fuse or two tonight.”
“Fun.”
“I wonder what it’s like,” I murmur as my lips trail down her neck, “to have sex in a library.”
“I think we’re about to find out.”
This book was perfect to read during the Halloween season. Absolutely perfect. It wasn’t as creepy as the first book but it definitely dealt with the creepy parts of having a serial killer after them. This one is about Millie and Lucien and they have been meant for each other for hundreds of years. In this life they hope to get rid of the evil for good so that they can finally grow old together. The story of how they are going to do that is this entire book because Horace is back and he is badder than ever. I seriously can’t wait for the final book next year like I need it now. Millie’s book was everything I wanted it to be and Daphne’s book will be just as good.
*I received an ARC for an honest review*
Spells by Kristen Proby is 2 for 2 in my book for the paranormal genre. I never thought I would like this genre. But, Kristen has knocked another one out of the park! Totally loved the multiple POV”s. Especially Horace(he is sooo creepy). This particular type of paranormal is kinda intriguing to me. Felt like I was getting a history lesson on paranormal/witchcraft activities throughout time.
New Orleans has been on my bucket list since the Boudreaux Series. This series, Bayou Magic, is so fun, creepy, and romantic. Yes, romantic. Millie is stubborn, sassy, sexy, smart, and beautiful inside and out through all of her lifetimes. Lucien is so handsome(especially with his glasses), sexy, smart, and quite romantic when it comes to Millie. It’s so easy to cheer for them because we all want love and goodness to triumph over evil. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Absolutely 5 stars*****
Oh my goddess! Spells is the second book in the Bayou Magic series and phenomenal! This is Millie and Lucien’s book. Millie is a Hedgewitch and Psychic. She is one of three sisters who didn’t have the best childhood. There dad was mean, their mama was mean and the shadows were even meaner. But possession can do that to a person. But possession can also make you do things you don’t want to do. Evil things. As Miss Sophia had predicted, they hadn’t seen the last of Horace. But he changes things up, confusing everyone involved. But that doesn’t take long when his toys are getting discarded in front of Millie and Lucien. Millie and Lucien have history. Millie tries to stay away from the sexy warlock, but it’s inevitable. They are destined to be together. As we get glimpses back in time, we find out so much more. Can Lucien and Millie make it work this time? Can they defeat the evil that lurks in the shadows and their dreams? Kristen did a great job with details. I felt I was right there with them while I read this book. I was on the edge of my seat from page to page, I couldn’t put it down! The suspense and romance in this book just leaves me speechless. Definitely need to read the series in order. And I cannot wait for Serendipity.
Wow, just wow! Kristen wrote an amazing story here! 5 stars for this one!
Not giving anything away in this review, you must read this and experience it as you go! I will tell you this is Lucien & Millie’s story, and once you start reading it you will not want to put it down!
I’m not a paranormal fan, but this series by Kristen has woven it’s magic around me and pulled me into it with it’s spell!
Grab this one asap, and if you haven’t read Shadow’s yet, now’s your chance to read it and get up to speed on this bewitching series!
Spells is book 2 in the Bayou Magic series, and the book I had been patiently waiting a whole year for! Was it worth it? 1000% HELL YES!!!
Spells focusses on Millie, one of the 3 sisters who is a powerful practicing witch who adds kooky little spells to her drinks in her coffee shop, Witches Brew. Dreams plague Millies sleep and have done so for years, each one bringing her a part of the past long, long ago which she cannot decipher.
Lucien is a Warlock, who’s many lives span over centuries, each one of those lives including Millie by his side. Specialising in the study of blood, Lucien supports the local PD and FBI with their murder cases. He has pinned for Millie for a decade, and with evil looming, the evil the girls thought had been banished, Lucien needs Millie to recognise him and their history together, if they have any hope of beating him this time round.
Will they succeed in destroying Horaces spirit once more, or will they fail, losing the most important things in their lives, each other in the process?
This book was absolutely mind blowing and phenomenal! After loving Shadows so much, I couldn’t wait to see where Kristen went with Spells. She totally knocked it out of the park, yet again and blew me away with her originality and depth that this story oozed. From the very beginning she started off with a bang and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story.
There is so much to this series, each book has a level of complexity to it that makes perfect sense but at the same time leaves you guessing what will happen next! The sinister and gory detail was written to perfection and i could see everything play out in my mind.
The love that Millie and Lucien have for each other is enthralling and I found their many pasts, historic relationships and flash backs utterly fascinating. This book has a huge The Craft meets Practical Magic vibe to it and it’s totally perfect for this time of year. The fact that it’s different to Kristens other books, but still holds her magic that we have come to love so much made it so much more enjoyable!
I cannot wait to find out how these sisters story ends next year!
A huge top favourite read for 2020
5 spooky stars and moons!
Milly’s nightmares are back with a vengeance and soon she discovers that Lucien and her are destined to be together. The sparks are flying between these two! Soon it becomes clear that Lucien is the focus this time but not on Milly’s watch is she has her say. Banding together they need to once again beat back the darkness! Wow so so good!! The ending!! What I have to wait another year????
