Always Be My Banshee
4 Stars

In the aftermath of discovering the ancient artifact in the rift, touch psychic Cordelia Canton joins forces with Brendan O'Connor, a rare male banshee, to uncover the secrets of the artifact and the reasons for its dangerous effects on the local population.

Cordelia and Brendan's romance is really sweet. As a touch psychic and a banshee who can see deaths of others, Cordelia and Brendan's abilities have resulted in a solitary and lonely existence for them both. This makes the fact that they have found each other even more delightful.

The town of Mystic Bayou and its quirky residents are the true highlights of this series. The couples from the previous books all join in the fun as the mystery surrounding the rift and the artifact is resolved. As with the previous books, there is a malevolent force working for the mysterious group within the league, and the identity of the culprit is actually quite a surprise.

Although the ongoing arc comes to a close, there is a new twist at the end and it will be interesting to see where Harper takes her characters next.

I will lump all six books of the Mystic Bayou series into one review because they follow the same charming formula that Molly Harper tends to use. The similarities between the stories don’t harm them, as long as you go into each knowing exactly what you will get. There will be a meet-cute, followed by lots of sexual tension, a mystery solved together with the requisite found family, and happily ever after for our star couple. Throw in a dragon, a were-bear, selkies, a dryad, a witch, and a gnome, and you have quite the community. I enjoyed every minute of listening to the series. ( )

Cordelia Canton is on a top-secret assignment: travel to Mystic Bayou and use her powers as a touch-know psychic to learn more about the mysterious artifact that's been pulled from the rift site. She's partnered with Brendan O'Connor, a rare male banshee whose tall, dark, and broody good looks are a major distraction. Before long, it becomes clear that the artifact they're studying is sentient - and brimming with supernatural power. Can they harness its magic in time to stop the secret forces conspiring to steal it? (les ( )

I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the Series

The Characters:

Cordelia Canton:
Brenden O'Connor:
Dani, Zed, Bael, Jillian, Will, Sonja,

The Story:

This is the first book we have that involves two outsiders and I loved it just as much as it’s predecessors. There were some heart stopping moments and I was really surprised by the villain. I’m not sure if there will be any more additions to this series after the way this wrapped up but I would love to continue to visit.

The Random Thoughts:

Bear adoption is gross but also very cute.
