Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

The best modern gothic romance novels are many. 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman has a unique take on the gothic. It's set in a graveyard and follows the story of a boy raised by ghosts. There's a sense of mystery and a touch of romance in the relationships he forms.

What are the best gothic horror romance novels?
A really good one is 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley. Although it's mainly known as a horror story about a monster, there are elements of a love - hate relationship between Victor Frankenstein and his creation that can be seen as a perverse form of 'romance' in the gothic sense. The desolate landscapes and the horror of the unnatural creation add to the gothic horror aspect. 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde also has gothic horror romance elements. Dorian's pursuit of pleasure and his relationship with Basil Hallward has a strange, dark quality, while the portrait that ages instead of him adds a gothic and somewhat romantic (in a twisted way) dimension to the story.
