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 a really refreshing uptake on the lead female ‘isekai’, transmigration and reincarnation genre. Some contents are within realistic (as far realistic possible on fantasy fiction novels anyway) timeframe and progression of characters and growth is not that bad. ❤️

Though I'm a fantasy and sci-fi minded reader, can't usually digest contemporary novels, but this one is just great. It's not that sophisticated, and I feel like it happens just next door, I liked it. the writing is smooth and the dialogues are fluent, and realistic, not like much of dialogues I see here. Good work author, really enjoyed it.

Counting with my fingers, I'm in trouble today.

Since Ateng had his own consciousness, he had been doing his own thing, arrogant and domineering. If someone got into trouble, they would take the blame and beat up whoever they didn't like. Until one day, Ah Teng picked up the son of an old friend. The little guy was talkative and used to making people happy. Ah Teng was in a good mood and simply took him in as his disciple. However, not long after, a little girl who claimed to be the female protagonist told her that she was the villain of a novel and that the one she picked up was the future male protagonist. They would kill each other in the future and die together. For the time being, it was recommended to stay away from them. Ah Teng looked at the obedient and sensible male lead, then at the so-called female lead. He smiled and gave a friendly suggestion." Is that so? Then why don't you stay away from me first? Otherwise, I won't be able to continue writing this book if I tell you…" [CP Attributes: High Force, Arrogant Big Boss Female Lead VS White Cut, Black Gentle Male Lead]
