About this ebook

Guardian to an ancient magic?

 

You’re joking right?!!

 

A girlie road trip around Ireland seems like just the thing I need to escape my narcissistic boss and the breakup of my long-term relationship. But when a stop off at an old graveyard ends in an unexplained seizure, all chances for fun go out the window.


The dreams that follow are so vivid and disturbing that they haunt my waking hours almost as much as my sleeping ones. But what if they’re not really dreams?


When a sexy stranger appears spouting stories about the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomorians I’m convinced he’s a conman. He claims I’m Guardian of an ancient magic. I say he’s crazy.


So, what do you do when crazy turns out to be true?


With magic gone from our world, I’m the only one standing between two ancient races and an agenda that I can’t even begin to comprehend.


I need to pick a side, and I need to do it quickly. Because it’s not just my sanity at stake anymore…


It’s the lives of everyone around me.


If you like your urban fantasy with a modern twist on mythology, you'll love the Celtic Curses series. Series completing October 2025 - start reading now!

✴️✴️ONE HEART-POUNDING RIDE✴️✴️ Punching pals Pam! Hatchell delivers one action-packed, hard-hitting, pulse-racing, adrenaline-pumping, page-flipping, rock-our-world, rollercoaster. Winding through the strategic twists and canny turns as the riveting drama, spellbinding intrigue, arresting danger and hair-raising suspense abound. Thrown into a nightmare chocked-full as astonishing trials and wicked tribulations arise, as revelations are disclosed and allies are forged, melding this wicked jewel together flawlessly. The characters are complex, original and realistic with defining attributes and respective natures that blend smoothly, with amazing depth and diversity, rocketing this baby to life brilliantly. Fabulous job Hatchell, thanks for sharing this amazing treat with us.

I enjoy urban fantasy, but I don't usually find prequels very interesting as they usually seem to fill in details you don't need. This was different! Our hero has been drawn into a fight she didn't know anything about, or want to have anything to do with. The writing is well paced, the characters are quickly sketched, and interesting. Ireland itself is a character, and also draws you in. In other words, I can't wait to read the first book in the series!. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
