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.

Reminiscent of deep baked video game lore, and perhaps a close resemblance to Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”, your writing style is rather interesting and easy to follow. The uncommon choice in protagonist for the story is also an interesting direction, one that I believe holds a lot of merit and intrigue. While I wouldn’t quite compare it to the excellent world building of overlord, it does have its own unique style.

Definitely one of, if not the best novels I’ve ever read. A majority of the main cast is interesting, with few exceptions (*cough* Kai *cough*). The lore behind the dream realm is also really interesting. MC is OP but often faces enemies out of his league so his victories don’t feel unearned. The power system is great. Although the scaling can be a bit wacky(Morgan fight, Tyris Vs Cormac). There hasn’t been any genre-defining moments so far. So I’d say it’s similar to Tbate with a better setting and faster uploads If the writing quality remains consistent throughout the remaining thousands of chapters, it will be deserving of 5 stars.

I love Forsaken a LOT, and the fact that it's gotten a webnovel actually made me (and my friends) jump out of my seat. I've read loads of fanfics and Forsaken stories on Wattpad, but never have I ever actually read a Roblox fanfic of this quality. Already in Chapter 1, the book pays close attention to the original source material (likely because an actual Forsaken Dev wrote this) and integrates a lot of the ARG and side stories. The novel does a pretty good job at setting up the plot (I have a theory that it was The Spectre's puppets who sent Elliot into Damnation, but this likely isn't true considering they talked about finding someone "connected," which I'm pretty sure will be elaborated upon in the later chapters). I also love how the dialogue is handled. I don't know how to describe it, but it's just very real. Like, Person A can say X, and, surprised, Person B can ask X for confirmation. I'd describe the dialogue to be something along the lines of Cormac McCarthy. The dialogue is just realistic in a way. And that's not to mention the The Last Guest easter eggs (which I hope the book continues doing).
