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.

It's one of the few novels that uses the 15th - 16th century timeline and the story is good, but i have a bit of a problem with how fast the story is progressing and how it feels like the MC is an edge lord with how he acts. nonetheless it's a great novel 😁

The cultivation world isn't peaceful now.

Buddhist health, good temper × black-bellied, humorous, a little naughty Lu Rujiu accidentally transmigrated into the book and became the evil female supporting character in the immortal cultivation novel. The female supporting character did many evil things and coveted the male protagonist. She either died or was injured. Lu Rujiu wanted to cry but had no tears. Could she still be saved if she repented on the spot? In order to avoid the death ending, she tried her best to draw a clear line between herself and the male lead. She even pulled in a reliable junior brother, Chu Changfeng, to cover for her. In the end, she knew everything about the male lead, but she led a wolf into her house. Her ending was even more miserable than the original owner. … Chu Changfeng returned to the sect he had joined many years ago with a motive. He pretended to be a thorn in the side and fought all day long. However, he met an open-minded and easy-going senior sister. She had a gentle smile, but she was clear-headed and efficient when she did things. She was to his liking. He would go all out and try his best to please her. Just as he was about to bring the beauty home, his identity was exposed. " I have bad intentions. In order to save the devil cultivator and return to the sect, I dug up your ancestral grave to get close to you. Lu Rujiu, you can only blame yourself for being blind and not judging people clearly." Lu Rujiu wanted to cry, but she stopped. Why did he start scolding her? …… Later on, Lu Rujiu had indeed taken the old path of sacrificing female supporting characters. Chu Changfeng rushed over to stop her. He was travel-worn and cried his eyes out. It did not match Lu Rujiu's aesthetic standards at all. … Chu Changfeng's life plan was clear, but it did not include his Little Senior Sister who fell in love with the sect. He had resisted and struggled before, but in the end, he still admitted defeat. …… PS: 1. Immortals are casually cultivated. If there is a problem, the author will eat the setting. 2.
