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.

It was very attractive to read. In addition, Alexandria Marinina was also a popular female detective novelist, and her works were widely acclaimed in Europe.

Well, 'War and Peace' is surely a top choice. It's a huge epic that gives a very comprehensive view of war and its effects. 'Life and Fate' by Vasily Grossman is also excellent. It examines the moral and ethical aspects of war, especially during the Second World War. And then there's 'The Cossacks' by Leo Tolstoy which, while not strictly a 'war novel' in the narrow sense, does a great job of showing the Cossack way of life which was deeply influenced by war and military traditions.

One of the top classic Russian novels is 'The Idiot' by Dostoevsky. It presents a pure - hearted but somewhat naive protagonist in a complex and often cruel society. 'A Hero of Our Time' by Mikhail Lermontov is also excellent. It gives insights into the life and psyche of a Byronic hero. And 'Fathers and Sons' by Ivan Turgenev is a significant work that examines the generational and ideological gaps in Russian society.
