Review: 🌟🌟🌟
The first in a series of standalone paranormal romances featuring a spunky young witch's apprentice and the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow.
Stevie Rourke is a seer living in Sleepy Hollow, which means that she can see the many ghostly residents that reside within the haunted town. She thrives as a witch's assistant and manages to stay mostly under the radar. That is, until the eye of the Hollow opens and the ghosts can see her in return. Now, Stevie finds herself pursued by the Headless Horseman as he demands she helps him find his missing head. The mystery thickens as Stevie and the Headless Horseman work to uncover all the secrets that the Hollow hides within as time ticks towards the Headless Horseman's final demise.
This is the first book in a series of paranormal romances featuring a variety of monsters and mythical creatures. I enjoyed my time with the introduction to the "Bewitching Hour" series and I look forward to reading other books in this series!
I must say that I don't think that I am the biggest fan of Sleepy Hollow or the Headless Horseman mythos. I've read books featuring the Headless Horseman and I just don't think that they are my cup of tea. Despite this, I still had a pretty solid time with this unique romance.
Having the Headless Horseman as a love interest made for some odd circumstances and a great form of romantic tension due to the fact that Stevie can't touch him (or see his face) for the majority of the book. Kit, also known as the Headless Horseman, is a charming individual. The fact that Stevie can't physically interact with him until some other magic occurs later in the book makes for some great romantic tension. Stevie yearns to see his face and feel his touch, but she can't because he's a ghost. I'm sure that there are quite a few ghost romances out there and I must admit that I've read a few, but this is the first steamy one that I've encountered, which made for a different reading experience.
One of my favorite parts about this book was the mystery element. Stevie and Kit are looking for the Headless Horseman's famous head in order to save Kit from a disastrous fate. The magic system in this one isn't super original, but it was easy to understand and a set in a straightforward world, which I enjoyed. A simple magic system and a hint of mystery made for a great pairing and a fun read.
Overall, "Bewitched by the Headless Horseman" is a fun witchy read with an intriguing love interest. Having a ghost as the male love interest was different and made the steamy scenes quite unique. I enjoyed my time dwelling in Sleepy Hollow with Stevie and the rest of the magical residents. This may not be the most original or complex read, but it was certainly a fun good time. I look forward to exploring other books in this series!

I don’t want to be famous. I can’t be.
When I sing at Memaw’s Bar every weekend, there’s one hard and fast rule: no recording of any kind. It’s not a bar rule, it’s a Hali rule.
Because if people were to post videos or audio clips of my performances, word would get out, and this tiny island off Georgia’s coast would be overrun with people trying to meet me. To discover me and bring me into the limelight.
And that’s not my ego talking. It’s a fact. The crowds that come to see me aren’t just captivated by my talent. They’re enthralled by my magic.
Only my mother knows the truth––I’m not human. I’m a mermaid, and my siren’s song is all-powerful. Mom found me on the beach when I was a toddler, and she took me in. Raised me. Loved me. Kept my secret.
And now that she’s sick, it’s my turn to take care of her. And that means risking my secret for tips every Friday and Saturday night. And even though no one has ever recorded me, word of mouth is a powerful thing.
That’s why he’s here. Brendan Howser. Talent agent and temporary next door neighbor.
He thinks he can wear me down and get me to sign with his agency, but it’s not going to happen. It can’t. But Brendan doesn’t give up easily.
And neither does the stranger who’s started following me and snapping pictures from behind bushes. When he shows up at Memaw’s wearing noise-cancelling headphones and screaming about siren magic, I realize the truth––he knows.
And he’s determined to prove it to the world.

Sparks fly when a talent agent looking to recruit the town's best singer collide in this paranormal romance by Piper James!
Hali Weston has done everything in her power to keep the fact that she is a siren a secret. Yes, she may sing at the local dive bar in order to make money to support her ailing mother and work at the turtle sanctuary in town, but beyond that, she keeps to herself. That is, until Brendan, a handsome talent agent appears on her doorstep trying to make her a star. Hali can't afford fame; her secret is too big to risk. When Brendan begins to slowly steal her heart, things become more complex as she begins to dream about a world outside her very limited bubble.
I thought this romance was so cute! From the get-go, Hali and Brendan are such likable characters and I was rooting for the enemies to become lovers as soon as possible. I absolutely adore the banter between these two and their less than happy conversations they have with one another when they first meet. Brendan is mystified about why Hali doesn't want to be discovered as a musical talent, but Hali is just as scared that she'll never be able to trust him at the risk of him learning she's a mermaid.
I also want to mention how much a gentleman Brendan is. He is just so sweet and treat Hali with the utmost respect, which is something that isn't always the case with the male love interest in spicy romance novels. I was so happy to see him treat Hali like a literal princess both in his actions as well as his words. He could have hounded about recruiting her the entire book, but he lets it fall to the wayside when he realizes that he has took his shot at convincing her and was nowhere close to succeeding.
Hali cares about her mother, Grace, more than anything else in the world, so it's super sweet when Brendan works to befriend Grace, too. Grace is physically disabled, which adds another level to Hali and Grace's relationship. They will do anything for one another, even if it limits the freedom that they are both allowed to have. It is so great seeing such strong mother daughter connections in books, especially romances.
The music aspects of this book are quite fun. Hali does have siren song abilities, but she uses them as sparingly as possible. Sirens are so neat, so I was happy to read a romance starring such a fun mythical creature. And the way that James combines this with the modern aspects of the music industry was really fun to see play out.
The third act conflict in this one was done immaculately. I must say, it is pretty obvious that Hali's secret will eventually come out, but I feel as though it was done in a pretty chill way. I greatly appreciate that the author didn't choose to go with something super dramatic, as this let the conflict focus more on Hali and Brendan's romance rather than the drama.
And the physical intimacy between the two of them? Amazing! They may have only known each other for about a week before they got in bed together, but I really enjoyed the emotional connection between the two of them that they had already established before this point. They may have both been a tad horny and overdue for getting laid, but I enjoyed how much I could feel they cherished one another in the moment.
Overall, "Bewitched by the Siren" was a very enjoyable read. I ate up the tension between Hali and Brendan due to both the recruiting deal and Hali's siren secret. Hali's bond with her mother was one of my favorite parts of this novel, as was the musical elements. This is a romance that I can get behind, so I'm glad that I got to read this fun, paranormal romance! I am definitely wanting to check out more of Piper James' work in this future, so hopefully that is an opportunity that is awarded to me someday.

Love at first bite? Not quite.
All Willow wanted was to find her true love. But when her "foolproof" matchmaking spell leads her straight to Kane Drake—the absurdly attractive CEO of Drake Produce and definitely a vampire—she does what any sensible witch would do: magically yeets him across town before he can even say hello. No way is she letting destiny saddle her with a vampire, thank you very much.
Too bad the universe (and Kane) didn't get the memo.

Review: 🌟🌟
A magical fall romcom between a witch and a vampire who are tasked with unraveling the curse that afflicts both their families.
When Willow attempts a spell to find her soulmate, things take a turn for the worse when she summons a naked vampire king who also happens to be the CEO of a very successful magical fruit company into her flower shop. Desperate to escape the awkward and potentially dangerous situation, Willow sends him away with another spell and hopes to never see him again. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to escape from one's mate. As Willow and Kane meet again and again, a strange curse begins to affect all the vampires. The two now must team up to break the curse afflicting both their families before it is too late.
The concept of this one is really fun. A spunky flower witch meets a hot vampire CEO of a highly successful fruit company in one of the most awkward meetups of all time. Unfortunately, I didn't really attach to either character which had me feeling pretty meh about most of this book.
The mystery element is what kept me turning the pages. I was quite curious to see just what was happening to all the fruit bat vampires. Side note: I've never heard of the concept of fruit bat vampires prior to this novel, and I find this idea to be really cool! Once elements of the curse on the Drake and Florence bloodlines started to appear, I genuinely needed to know what was going on.
The cozy autumn vibes of this book are pretty fun. There's a fall festival with festive activities and much of the book takes place in Willow's quaint flower shop. Both of these things invoke a cozy feeling despite the darker nature of the curse that consumes a bit of this story.
For the most part, I just found myself not that intrigued by most elements of the book and I really couldn't bring myself to care about the actual romance that makes up a huge part of the book. I didn't dislike my time with this one, but it took me a long time to make my way through this one simply because there was nothing that enthralled me enough to want to pick this one up again the next day, so I simply read it only when I was eating lunch and was too lazy to pull up my audiobook.
Overall, I wasn't very impressed with "Bewitched by the Fruit Bat King." There were elements of this book that were intriguing such as the curse and the situation with the fruit bat vampires, but not enough to truly hold my attention for long periods of time. I didn't like the romance all that much either, which made the entire experience pretty mid. I did appreciate the spunkiness and humorous nature of Dalton's writing though, so I'm interested in picking up some of her other books that I own and seeing how they compare to this one.

As a child, they called me a wicked witch, all because my magic appears as dark shadows.
I tried to be good, but nothing changed their minds. Then my college boyfriend Callum Renshaw broke my heart, and I decided being wicked wasn’t so bad after all.
Now Callum’s back, investigating the disappearances of half-shifter witches, and everyone’s pointing fingers at me. But he isn’t just trying to prove my innocence, he’s trying to win my heart again. The problem? He loved the good little witch I used to be, and now I embrace the wicked.
Despite Cosmo, my truth-spilling familiar, and my desire for life to stay the same, Callum’s confession shakes me. He left to save my life and never stopped loving me. Maybe cursing him wasn’t my best idea, because deep down, I still love him too.
But it might be too late. The town’s ready to pin a murder on me, and if Callum and I don’t work together to solve it, I’ll burn on a pyre.
