A Haven Hollow novel

Welcome to Haven Hollow, a town of monsters....

After dating a string of losers and banishing a poltergeist, I packed up my Los Angeles life and my 11-year-old son, and moved...to a town in Oregon with a population of 680. Well, 682 now.

Culture shock anyone? Ahem, never mind that.... New starts can happen anywhere, right?

I hope so, because I need to start the next chapter of my 43-year life pronto. So, why Haven Hollow? For one reason - there aren’t any witches here. And a witch can make a gypsy’s life...complicated.

Oh, right, I’ve put the cart before the horse....

Hi, I’m Poppy Morton, and I come from a long line of Scottish gypsies - gypsies who possess magic and make potions to treat any and all ailments. It’s been my dream to open my own potions store and I’m finally going to do it - in the picturesque and small town of Haven Hollow.

Once my son, Finn, and I get settled in our two-story ramshackle, decrepit and rickety farmhouse (that happens to be bordering a cemetery), the nightmares start. And they won’t stop. Almost every night, I find myself face to face with a shadow monster - and its victim. And I’m fairly sure it’s the victim sending me the night terrors, wanting me to figure out the mystery of who or what murdered him.

But, I’m not really sure I want to get involved. Between facing a huge remodel of the above-mentioned “house”, getting my son situated in his new school, opening my potions store and dealing with one of the ghosts from my last house who somehow thumbed a ride to this one, I’ve got my hands full. Actually, more than full.

Good thing I’ve got a few handsome neighbors to call on - Marty Zach, a self-professed ghost exorcist who just happens to have the sexiest smile, and Roy Osbourne, a bear of a man who looks like he alone coined the word ‘lumberjack.’

good listen

This was a good start to a series. There's plenty of interesting characters. The narration was done well.
I was given this free audiobook copy at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

love JR.

I've been a big fan of JR Rain for quite some time now. I try to binge read every book/series that comes out.
I've recently done audiobooks and I'm loving it. the narrator that's been popping up is Kelley Huston. she's fast becoming one of my favorites! you should check out her other works if you have the time!


On to the book!!!
I enjoyed this book. I did get a little lost and I felt like there should have been more background information on the characters. I legit had to look to see if I accidentally started the second book or listened out of order.
it's a cute quick and fun read. Poppy is a magic Gypsy. she can see ghosts and her and her son move to Haven Hollow. Freaky things start to happen and Pippy has sworn to just ignore it. She's promised her little boy Finn no more tag along ghosts after the most recent hell (this is where I got super confused, is this part of a different book maybe?) It doesn't go into detail about what exactly happens-- just kinda glosses over it. Unfortunately weird shit does happen and thst promise gets broken, especially when she begins to set up her own potions shop.
the story continues along this fashion about little mysteries and quirks happening in town. she has a crush on two of the residents. one not in the "know" and one of the locals. I'll let you decipher that meaning. 😏
Its a decent and easy read and I'll look into the next book for sure!

Good Story

This is a good story with interesting characters & creatures. I really like to world the author created for the story. The narrator was wonderful at bringing the story to life.

To Easy to Figure Out

I was not very far into the book when I figured out what was going on. I kept telling our MC Poppy come on it is obvious who, what everyone was. Narrator does a good job.

Truly Delightful!

Check for witches before selecting Haven Hollow as the perfect, quaint, small town for me and my 11 year old son? Absolutely! Check for Bigfoot, Werewolves, Vampires, Monsters other paranormals? Hmmmm what’s that sound? Ahhh yes, crickets! Gypsy Magic is pure delight! Beautifully written, filled with wonderful, quirky, complex characters that are not only unique, they are fully developed! I love how their true natures were teased at, then revealed over time as the story developed. No spoilers, you’ll have to listen to this gem to get the goods! Speaking of listening, the narration was stunning! I loved how I could tell who was speaking, and what they were feeling just by the voicing and inflections used in the narration! Amazing! It really helped me to not only understand what was going on, but really served to enhance the pleasure of this truly exceptional story! Five stars!
