Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

The gods exist. The Supernatural is real. But poor foolish Mortals can never pierce through the Truth hidden by the Veil. They say Ignorance is Bliss. But for Adam, such Bliss woven by a lie is worthless. In his opinion, Ignorance may be Bliss but --- Knowledge is power. This was the truest fact; something Adam built his empire around. ---- He wasn’t always this rich. He wasn’t always this powerful. There was a time he too struggled to earn enough for the treatment of his sick and dying mother. But one day, on a Halloween night, his life was forever changed. His eyes were opened to a completely new Reality. The truth that was hidden from the eyes of all normal humans. An entirely different world, rules, and society exist just in front of us. Follow Adam, as he uncovers the Truth about his identity, the power in his blood, and his adventures as he rises to the throne that is rightfully his. To attain his goal, he will not hesitate. He will even become the God of Crime if that is necessary. --------- The story will be moderately slow-paced during the First four volumes as I set Adam in the world and slowly develop the world-building and Adam starts to adapt to the new reality. I know it might not be to the taste of everyone, but I believe it's worth it. We discover the world together with Adam and how he will grow from someone who knew absolutely nothing about the supernatural world to being someone no one can ignore. This will be a long road and I would be happy if you are willing to walk this road with me. ---- (Alternative title: Midnight Prince: Empire of Sin) [ Tags ]: Mature| Grimdark | Gore |Netori | Harem | Milf | Young & Mature | Supernatural |Action | Gang War | Criminal Empire | System | Gigolo | Handsome MC | Weak to Strong MC | Antihero| Neutral good to Lawful Neutral Evil. | Showbiz | Psychic | ****** ) ----- Disclaimer: The cover picture is AI made and is the art for Adam as [Magician] Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HikaruGenji Discord: https://discord.gg/3v2xvhvD6j My other work Son of The Hero King: https://www.webnovel.com/book/son-of-the-hero-king_24153504605334705

Well, for best - selling crime novels with a dry feel, 'Sharp Objects' is quite good. It has a dry, almost desolate setting that adds to the overall sense of unease in the story. The characters are complex and the mystery is slowly unraveled in a way that keeps you reading. 'The Dry' itself by Jane Harper is a prime example. It's set in a drought - stricken Australian town and has a dry, unforgiving landscape that mirrors the dark secrets and crimes in the story. Also, 'The Killing' by David Hewson is a best - seller that offers a dry, methodical look at a crime investigation.

Definitely. 'The Snowman' is a best - selling crime novel that has a dry, cold atmosphere (both literally and figuratively) which suits the dark crime story. 'The Kind Worth Killing' has a dry, calculating tone that makes the complex plot of murder and revenge all the more interesting. And 'The Woman in the Window' has a dry, claustrophobic feel as the agoraphobic main character observes the outside world and the mystery unfolds from her limited perspective.

Well, it might be. Some best - selling crime novels play with complex ideas, and recursion could fit in. For example, if the detective keeps coming back to the same clues or suspects in a cyclical way, that's a form of recursion in the story. It can make the plot more engaging as the reader tries to figure out how the cycle will be broken or what new information will emerge from the repeated elements.

There's also Agatha Christie. While some of her works have elements of character drama, many of her detective stories, especially those featuring Hercule Poirot, can be considered dry crime novels. She presents the crimes and the solving process in a very logical and unembellished way. And then there's Henning Mankell. His crime novels are often focused on the crime itself and the search for the truth, with a rather dry, straightforward narrative style.

They often lack excessive emotional drama. The focus is mainly on the crime itself, the investigation process, and the logical deduction. For example, in many classic dry crime novels, the detective simply presents the facts and evidence without much personal emotional turmoil involved.
