£6.19 Per Witching Hour is a great start to the Paranormal Personnel Saga series. I love paranormal reads so knew I would like this straight away.
Julia is 22 and a half elf half human living in London and her job is recruitment consultant at Paranormal employment agency. Julia spends her day trying to find jobs for paranormal beings
With vampires, werewolves, witches, trolls, elves, fairies and much more this truly gives a different perspective of London and what roams there.
Nathaniel who is a vampire wants Julia, but Vampires and Elf relationships are forbidden and with other paranormal beings going missing including Julia’s cousin Claudia, Julia tries to find her.

This is a hot and steamy paranormal romance but with suspense added too.
It’s a face pacing novel that gripped me from the start to the end and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Joanna Mazurkiewicz writes a compelling read that leaves you wanting more.

I LOVED this book!!

Right, what to say without giving away the story! I honestly had no idea how it wa going to end, so many twists, turns, things said to lead you down one path....i havent had a book where i didnt know how it would end for a long time!
....and then the cliffhanger!!! So still not sure! But i DO know ill be picking the next book up and reading it with complete relish!!

So - we follow Julia, a half elf working for a company called Paranormal Personnel, a recruitment agency purely for the supernatural. She works with vamps, mermaids, witches, and its fun to see her interviewing for roles such as the tooth fairy!

Of course theres a love interest - in the form of the owner of a vamp owner who asks for the Paranormal Personnel to provide workers. Nathaniel is a player, who doesnt "do" dating and sees sex as a fun pastime but thats it. The attraction between him and Julie is electric. Written so you sit and urge them to get together even though protocol says that Vamps should never get with elves as their blood is intoxicating....

A brilliant, fun, suspense, romance book all rolled into one!
Loved it and defiently recommend!

I really enjoyed this book. Although I found La Caz to be irritating in his overbearing insistence in pursuing Julia, I did like Julia and her family and friends.

It's an original idea with an unexpected twist but I did think it ended a little abruptly.

REVIEW:
This is a series that holds nothing back, with suspense, mystery, romance, and anything and everything supernatural that will hook you right from the start. I had no idea what to expect, but Joanna Mazurkiewicz has gained a fan in me with her new series.

£6.19 per Witching Hour follows Julia a young half human half fae who works for the Paranormal Personnel. She is a top consultant who helps supernaturals find work in a world where humans don’t know they exist. When Julia gets a promotion her first task is to handle their new client whom is looking for many supernatural employees. She meets Nathaniel La Caz the head honcho of the La Caz Corporation and a vampire who sparks something inside her. But when these two start to get closer dangers from each other’s past stir up trouble in their lives and in the supernatural world.

Julia is your “average” girl who goes to work, goes home and just wants to read a book. But again she has fae blood and life in the supernatural world is anything but normal. She really enjoys her job and has to control her fae abilities at times when she’s nervous or stressed. I liked that no matter what she is an old fashioned kind of girl who likes have a real relationship and not just hit the sack with any guy. After meeting Nathaniel her life gets a bit more chaotic but their chemistry and banter just kept me hooked on these two and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. The readers also get to know Julia’s family, her human mother and fae father. Her father is very protective and is an officer for the supernatural side and we get some insight on his cases. But most importantly this story focuses on Julia and how she is trying to survive getting involved with a vampire. A fae and vampire dating is a big no in the supernatural world.

Nathaniel is one smoking hot vampire, well kind of vampire. He is complicated and see’s Julia as an addiction almost. He cant resists her and makes sure she knows how much he wants her. The readers get bits of insight about him and his past and see even though he’s rich and “perfect” he has a lot of enemies. It was interesting to watch his character try to “grow up” and be a real gentleman toward Julia who was in no mood to be with a guy who cant commit. Plus being with him brings all kinds of danger to light. I was frustrated with him at times and I hope he can wake up and see how Julia can take on any challenge that comes to her. She is one tough girl.

Overall I loved this story, it is one long book that doesn’t leave any details out and you’ll never feel bored. I was constantly trying to solve the mystery that is going on; Julia’s father has a particular case he’s investigating plus the twist and turns just kept on coming. I love the idea that the Supernatural world hasn’t come out yet to the humans and how much of a challenge it is to keep hidden. Plus the supernaturals are just like humans trying to survive and life a “normal life”. The ending was a bit of a shocker for me and now I’m suffering while waiting for the next book but I’ll defiantly be continuing this series.

RECOMMENDATION:
This is an adult novel with lots of sexual and adult content that is for mature readers. Fans of Hannah Jayne’s Supernatural Detective Agency series and Phillipa Bornikova’s Linnet Ellery series will love £6.19 per Witching Hour by Joanna Mazurkiewicz.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. When I started reading I did not know what to expect. This book is about an agency that hires paranormal beings for other companies.

Julia Taylor is the main character that this book is about. She is a recruitment consultant for Paranormal Personnel. Her days are usually normal as normal for a super natural being until she meets Mr. La Caz.

It was interesting to read the chemistry between an Elf and a Damphir. The ending was a little bit of a let down.
