Possess Me Under the Mistletoe by T.F. Walsh – a Review
Description:
She’s innocent, wicked with magic, and off limits… Just his type.
It’s Christmas Eve and Cyra Mane’s landed her first solo mission to cleanse a haunted house. Easy. After all, she’s keen to make a good impression with the demon hunting company that hired her. But when Gunn, a seasoned hunter she’s desired for months, shows up, the seemingly simple cleansing task turns dangerous. And why’s he there when he’s ignored her for months?
Gunn’s kept his distance for a dark reason that’s followed him for years. And he sure as hell doesn’t intend to drag sweet Cyra into his mess, even if he can’t stop fantasizing about her. Besides, he’s there as a favor to her brother.
But when Cyra’s spell goes horribly wrong, not only are they imprisoned in the house, but they discover a portal to Hell in the attic. Can Cyra keep her mind off the brooding hunter and on protecting the elderly home owners before the demon hunting them turns them into Christmas dinner?
Review:
Possess Me Under the Mistletoe by T.F. Walsh is a special holiday addition to her Hell Unleashed series. Cyra Mane isn’t technically a demon hunter, but she can cast spells to get rid of ghosts. She was assigned the job of cleansing a haunted house and wants to impress her employer with her skills. She’s determined to show her independence to her brother by completing this job on her own. But what does her brother do? He sends Gunn to check up on her like she’s a baby that needs help. Gunn literally comes crashing onto the scene, wrecking his motorcycle and almost taking Cyra out. Ah ha, let the fun begin!!!!
Gunn wants to keeps his distance from Cyra, due to his past, but he can’t fight the connection and chemistry once they start working together. And this haunted house is anything but a simple haunted house. There is one seriously bad demon and a portal to Hell in the attic. Gunn and Cyra team up to help save themselves and the poor elderly couple that owns the house. Cyra’s spell goes wrong and the house gets completely covered in mistletoe. The mistletoe is so thick, it’s even blocked out the sun. When Gunn tried to open the door and cut his way through the mistletoe, it instantly grew back. Cyra doesn’t know what she did to mess up the spell and she can’t figure out what to do to save them all. And this demon is FREAKY! He’s a big bad dude with all kinds of creepy skills that he uses to hurt Gunn and Cyra. Poor Cyra, she goes on this solo job and gets dropped into a portal to Hell. That would make me rethink my career choices very quickly. This little stick of dynamite of a story is 199 pages of awesome.
T.F. Walsh packs everything into her writing and storytelling. There’s romance, chemistry, suspense, danger, and lots of humor. Where can you read about possessed mistletoe, a crazy demon and a zombie goose in one book? Yes folks, you read that right. A zombie goose with a very mean beak! It’s scary and funny all at the same time. Gunn and Cyra make a great pair, their humor and chemistry makes for great reading. All of her stories are page turners, I cannot stop reading until I’ve finished the book. I was reading Possess Me Under the Mistletoe while on my lunch break at work. I was so wrapped up in the story, I lost track of time and returned back to work late. Not too many writers can hold my attention like she does. T.F. Walsh is a fantastic, imaginative writer. Absolutely one of my favorites!
