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.

I really love this new story and I really, really, really hope it is picked to be continued. I was just thinking the other day that there really weren't tons of thief/con man stories on this site and some of the ones that were here were VRMMO stories where there were very little actual stealing/heists and more traditional fighting against monsters. However, just as I was getting frustrated, low and behold Webnovel actually adds a potential thief novel! I love movies like Ocean's 11 and the Sting, and this scratches that heist itch. For those who can't get behind rooting for a thief/criminal or find the schemes of those heist movies a little too unbelievable, don't worry. This novel does not have those problems. First, the heist depicted in this story is actually a drill to test out the preparedness of the police officers and the bank security. The main character is simply pretending to be a robber. As such, no one is actually hurt or harmed during this process. Second, the main character takes a very realistic approach for his heist. Rather than walking in with nothing but a suit like some heist movies might do, he walks into the bank with a mask as well as fake guns and grenades to simulate what a real bank robber would do. It feels realistic. However, it is not boring either. The various schemes, strategies, and precautions he uses against the authorities really make it feel like there is a complex scheme in play like any of the heist movies. Even now when the heist is reaching its final stages in chapter 20, I still don't know how he will get away. While many stories are by the numbers on this site and you can easily predict how confrontations will end, a story that can surprise you to the very last moments is a precious treasure. As a final bonus, the story takes place in the United States, so as an American reader, I can more easily connect to the characters and the story. There is one tiny slip up at one point where they use the measurement "catties" instead of pounds, but other than that it is easy to get immersed in the story. In conclusion, read this novel if you like fun heist stories that surprise you. You will not have to worry that this story will be too unrealistic or the character is hard to root for.
