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.

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror.

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

If you are looking for a new book that is lyrical at times as well as philosophically challenging without pandering or becoming formulaic, this is it! I was vaguely reminded of House of Leaves by Danielewski, as I don’t recall being challenged like this since attempting to read that cult (now) classic.

The translator has done a wonderful job on conveying the story, especially on keeping the terminology approachable. I would recommend this as a great beginner novel into Wuxia/Xianxia, as despite the futuristic setting, it clearly describes cultivation progression better than many classic setting novels IMO. I appreciate the effort the author has made in blending future settings and governments with the traditional cult/sect models as well, this story has one of the best world designs I've read.

Today, I was pampered by the devil again.

The world-famous demon king had fallen in love with a little girl and had been pampered by her side every day. The little girl was beautiful, soft and delicate, like a fairy. She gently tugged at the Great Demon King's sleeve and looked at him with a pair of starry eyes. "Big brother, can you buy me candy?" Her smile was so sweet that it made one's heart soften. Everyone said that the Great Demon King was cruel and heartless. However, when faced with the little girl who said that she loved him once every day, the tips of his ears secretly turned red. At that time, everyone realized that the Great Demon King had found a wife to play with! -- The throne of the Great Demon King was empty, and the courtiers urged him to appoint an empress every day. That night, the Great Demon King pressed Yan Jiu down." You've grown up. Now, you can either marry me or be eaten by me. Choose one." Hmm?" Remembering that the Great Demon King had once dug up her bones and scattered her ashes, Yan Jiu's expression changed. She took out a knife and stabbed the Great Demon King. She smiled and asked, "Shall I scatter your ashes first?" Everyone thought that the little girl was weak and weak. She had no status or background, so she was definitely easy to bully. However, they did not know that the little girl was a big shot. On the surface, she was soft and harmless, but in fact, she was like a demon king who killed without batting an eye.

I'm just a spectator, so why do you always want me to join in? Alright, since that's the case, here I come!

The salted fish princess teaches people how to be a man online

Mu Xingran was originally a rain master in the 21st century. She had accidentally traveled back to 3,000 years ago and descended to the mortal world to experience the tribulation, becoming the imperial concubine of the Red Flame Kingdom. However, she did not expect that after three years of marriage, the man she once loved deeply would rob her entire family and kill her entire family! Mu Xingran was filled with grief and anger. On the day of the execution, her mana went berserk and opened the door to the underworld. The demons took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the human world was in chaos. Time and space were greatly distorted, and she returned to two years ago. Mu Xingran's originally leisurely life as an imperial concubine had undergone earth-shaking changes. She picked up the talisman, broke the ghost formation, controlled the spirit beast, and collected the hundred demons. Then, on a quiet night, she left a letter and escaped. Jun Yuyan looked at the letter in his hand and his eyes were filled with ferocity. He gritted his teeth and said," Mu Xingran, without my permission, you won't be able to escape!" "Do you know how many years I've been looking for you?" "What do you owe me? Come back!" Mu Xingran, who had been caught, glared at the man in front of her in disbelief after learning his identity. This was a story of a reunion after a long separation and a reconciliation. There was no such thing as fate. Everything was something I couldn't forget.
