A Bit of Hocus Pocus by Kelly Elliott
5.0
'A must-read Halloween romance that has thrills, chills, spells and spice. Kelly Elliott delivers a story that is not what it seems, and has something up its spooky sleeve! -TheBritishBibliophile
As a reader of Kelly's for almost a decade, you bet your literary pants I was excited to see her announce not one, but four brand new standalone novellas in a series all its own! Behold, dear readers, the Holidaze in Salem series. First up, A Bit of Hocus Pocus.
Keeping things in time with the seasonal spirit and by the name of the book's title, A Bit of Hocus Pocus our first trip to Salem, Massachusetts, kicks the series off with a Halloween-themed romance between Lucas Dayton and Hollie Craft. The latter--according to the blurb--put a spell on the former, and now both of their paths are linked until said spell can be broken.
After all, there's only so long a person can be in sunder.
My biggest compliment to this book and to Kelly, has to be the amount of laughs I had while reading it. Kelly always injects some humour into her stories one way or another, but I haven't laughed while reading a book like this for a very long time. You'll all get to read what happens when Lucas is in sunder, and it gave me flashbacks to another rather unlucky character from a story way back when. Truitt Carter from Lucky in Love , book four in Kelly's Southern Bride series. The two are very alike in the lacking in luck department, but I have to hand it to Lucas, he knows how to woo a woman. Talk about swoon central!
I can honestly say that despite not being a Halloween person myself, I did enjoy this story more than I thought I would. I'm a Christmas person through and through, so I surprised myself with this one. There was never any doubt in Kelly or her creative abilities, and I'm glad that I put in a request to read this delightful novella.
All in all, I'm over-the-moon happy with this and the fantastic potential the rest of the series possesses already. Is it Christmas yet?
Five stars!
