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.

This novel is a very interesting blend of story points if you are interested in military and spy novels this is for you. The FL seems to be a bit too overpowered but then again that is kind of typical for the spy genre for the main character to be overpowered. The story is slow moving and I wished there was more time skips.

I, the model of the righteous path, how can I become a demon!

Shang You stood on the mountain peak and looked at the broken sky above his head as he chanted softly. Above the green sky, immortals appear, and divine light gathers in the divination of heaven. The ancient ruins of the Nine Realms were explored, and the treasures of Kunlun were locked in secret boxes. The Eight Desolates Sects started to fight, and the four sects 'prodigies danced in the sky. Now that the immortal destiny had descended upon the Nine States, who in the world could ascend? His gaze was far-reaching, and his pupils constantly reflected images of his past. After Shang You transmigrated to this world, he worked hard to cultivate and successfully entered the Green Firmament Grotto-heaven with the help of his system that could help others realize their hopes and become stronger. In the sect, his fellow disciples admired him very much and called him a genius who was willing to help others and an honest scum. Outside the sect, the disciples of Tian Ji Sect said that he was a genius who was entangled with the sect master. The disciples of Nine Realms Sky Pavilion said that he was a kind person who was entangled with the saintess. The disciples of Karakorum Immortal Mansion said that he was entangled with the sect and that he was a bastard that only appeared once in ten thousand years. Being loved by Karakorum Immortal Mansion, Shang You had always felt a great pressure. Later on, Shang You felt even more pressure. Because he was showing signs of becoming a demon. The conversation between him and the demonic witch was still vivid in his mind. "Shang You, you're destined to come to my side." "Bullshit!" Sigh, I was really young and frivolous at that time. It would have been better if I had agreed. Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. It was time to risk his life. Shang You protected the lights below him and looked at the terrifying figures in the crack in the sky. He raised his sword and said angrily,"Damn it, where are the Ascendant cultivators?" Come and save me! He shouldn't have believed the words of those scammers from the Archaic Mysteries Sect! When I get back, I will beat up the people of Karakorum Immortal Mansion to vent my anger!"
