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.

Review 63 chapters in: Personally I hate systems fic, the only reason i clicked on this one is the lack of arcane fics with more than 3 updates. And I was glad to do it. Not a power wank fic, system is as realistic as a system can be. Good balance of crude-witty-lighthearted and depressed-heavy-serious themes. MCs personality is a good balance of the meme you see in the first chapter and a genuine good person behind all that. Also for those who care for romance it is not a multi partner/harem fic so another plus in my eyes. SPOILER BEYOND THIS POINT . . . . . . . Here are some good and bad points about this fic: good: System - in my opinion the worst part about this trope is that any progress character makes seems not earned, system itself serves as a deux ex that makes up for generally lazy writing. None of that here. System allows MC to survive, gain some power in terms of plasmids and weapons, allows character to create some technologies that don't exist in Piltover (by providing transistors), BUT are not to far fetched (etc wireless telegram). And that is it. Furthermore in the last chapter the actual mechanic behind the system is explained, and while reactions have been mixed between the people in the comments, I personally loved it. However with what is going on in the fic now, as well as the mechanics behind the system it is likely that it will play only a minor role in the future due to reveal of system mechanics. The only bad part about it, in my opinion is the creating of the vita chamber. While it serves as a convenient mechanic in the bioshock game, if one were to make a novelisation of the bioshock verse, vita chamber respawn mechanic would be to broken and OP, but again that is my opinion of the subject, who knows what will author do with it in the future Neutral: World events - The MC has a minor impact on the plot, despite knowing what was coming in advance. It feels somewhat forced, but it is explained in a sufficiently decent way so it doesn't bug me that much (tldr victor caused cannon event) Multiverse travel - this is NOT a multiverse fic where character will jump between realities like a squirel on meth. There will be a single hop and a return trip, and the universe is, suprisingly bioshock. In my opinion it is well written, with 100% realistic reasons for it, which i will not disclose as it is connected to the system mechanic which i don't want to spoil. Bad: Vita chamber - as i said, unless nerfed this piece of technology would be to broken for future developments, but it seems that it is nerfed somewhat so it is fine for now Potential timeskip - now this is not yet the case, but it seems we will get a 4 year gap between end of season 1 arc 1 and the next arcane verse based chapter. Now this is still OK in my opinion as if i remember correctly there is a 6, 7 or 8 year timeskip, depending on the source, between arc1 and arc2, so there is still legroom for MC to make his dream of creating Rupture a reality before shit goes down in arc2 and beyond, but again in my opinion that is to little time to accomplish anything with chem-barons and silco on your ass. My own suggestions for the fic, feel free to comment on any of them, (63 chapters in), if you hadn't read it yet there is no reason to look at this part of the review: 1.Consider focusing on arcane verse, by either making frequent timeskips in the bioshock verse, or by making the entire experience into one big one. If you wish to make a 100 chapter content in bioshock consider making another fic spin off that will show the details of what happened there. That way you might also get more of bioshock fandom into this fic. 2. Have MC focus on gaining knowledge of technology, aside from just strength, while on the bioshock side of things (maybe done by a semi-humorous flashback about him being forced to learn by elizabeth at gunpoint to prepare for his return trip, some conflict or something else). Can't have a "leader" of new rupture rely on Ekko/Jinx every time he needs to create something new after all, it's bad for the rap for the leader of scientific utopia to not be a scientist himself! Hell you got 4 years to copy some concepts from rupture to make them usable in your homeverse (once you start messing with chem barons you are unlikely to get a chance to inovate trough trial and error after all). It would also allow MC to reduce his relliance on the system (which, considering it is not 100% reliable) 3. Take in consideration other factions of the league verse that hadn't been fully explored in the series (lead example black rose, check out a nexrit video about the history of le blanc, mordekaiser, vladimir and black rose). There are SO MANY potential villans/challenges in the league verse that are actually connected to piltover/Zaun by some way or another. 4. Use fireflies as a reliable allies after timeskip, no sense in building rupture alone from scratch. And I personally believe they would make for better allies than silco whose entire economy was built on drugs. (Seriously, what was his plan in canon for generating currency post independence? Zauns chief export in canon was crime, followed by cheap labor) 5. Consider making the new rupture moto be something like being prepared for the watchers decent (currently frozen in frelyord), void creatures (shurima) or return of mordekaiser (noxus). Focusing on a powerfull external threat could be a good way to politically unite Zaun and piltover post independence. Message to author: Good work so far, don't let haters get to you (myself included), hope to see more chapters soon. Write what you want to write regardless of what I or anyone else says, anything else will end up being forced.
