Hi all,
I received an advance copy of this latest novel by H.P.
Mallory from NetGalley and Montlake in exchange for my honest review. I came
into this novel without having read book one of the series, but that didn't
seem to make a difference. It was fairly easy to catch up with what was going
on in the story. I have read other books by H.P. Mallory, so I knew what her
writing style was like and I was looking forward to an entertaining read. So…on
to the book and the review.
Peyton Clark Book Two
H.P. Mallory
After agreeing to let the spirit of Drake Montague inhabit
her body, Peyton soon discovers that the twentieth-century French policeman may
be dead but his lothario longings sure aren’t. Now she has to find a way to
explain to her sweet, sexy boyfriend, Ryan Kelly, that a spirit has taken up
residence in her head, whispering French words of affection day and night.
While Peyton is torn between her love for a living man and her growing affection for one deceased, supernatural activity in New Orleans spikes—and something wicked this way comes. With the help of her friends (and a little voodoo), Peyton learns that the demonic spirit of the Axeman may still dwell in her home. To stop bloody history from repeating itself, Peyton will have to travel back a century to confront the Axeman at his roots, with the help of a certain handsome—and suddenly flesh and blood—police officer in the Big Easy.

My Review:
Peyton Clark has a problem—she is currently possessed by
Drake Montague, a twentieth-century French policeman who happens to also be
quite sexy. Peyton hasn't yet been able to tell the new man in her life, Ryan
Kelly, about the man who inhabits her body because she knows he won't be very
happy about it. On top of that, spirit activity is going crazy in New Orleans,
and Peyton finds it is up to her and Drake to figure out what is responsible and
stop it. All in a day's work, right?
Once Haunted, Twice
Shy has all the right elements for those who love a good paranormal romance
story and adore New Orleans. Peyton is a strong character who is trying hard to
deal with, not only having a stranger occupying her body, but managing that along
with her budding romantic relationship. Strong description brings you into the
scenes of the story. Voodoo, demons, and spirits abound in this fast-paced
novel with an ending that will have you wanting for more. And luckily, there
will be more!
About H.P. Mallory:
I started my writing career as a self-published author and
was lucky enough to hit both the Amazon and the Barnes and Noble bestseller’s
lists with my two series, the Jolie Wilkins series and the Dulcie O’Neil
series. Most recently I hit the New York Times and the USA Today lists with
books in the Jolie series.
I signed with Random House (Bantam imprint) to write three books in the Jolie Wilkins series (Witchful Thinking, The Witch is Back and Something Witchy This Way Comes). Now I love the fact that I’m both a traditionally published author as well as a self-published one (with my Dulcie O’Neil series).
I’m a huge fan of anything paranormal and I always have been. I get super excited whenever they have those Twilight Zone Marathon days and anything ghost or vampire related will always attract my attention.
My interests are varied but aside from writing, I’m most excited about traveling. I’m extremely fortunate to have been able to live in England and Scotland, both places really having a profound effect on my books.
