Hibernian Charm (An Occult Detective Urban Fantasy) (Hibernian Hollows Book 2) Kindle Edition

A tense urban fantasy mystery with charm!

Melanie Rosen hasn't settled for much, but her travels have brought her to Dublin, Ireland, where she works for the Occult Investigations Unit, exploring the strange and unknown.

Her fiery disposition and tendency to probe where she's not wanted keep her in the office with the paperwork, or chasing cases that don't seem to have an answer.

Then she gets a new case, where a killer slowly paralyses his victims, and leaves a calling card behind: a charm. Her Romani-Irish roots might come in useful, but the more she probes this case, the more she doesn't like the answer. All the clues keep pointing back to her.

This is a standalone tale in the Hibernian Hollows universe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easier to understand than the first book in the series
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2017

More straightforward and easy to understand than the first book in the series. An intriguing whodunit of a story with a magical twist.

Melanie Rosen works for the Occult Investigations Unit of the Irish police. She and her partner, Toby Eckhart, are given a new case. People have begun to turn up suffering from a slowly progressing form of paralysis. The only clues are charms that are attached to them. One of the victims, when asked who did this to her, points to Melanie.

Melanie is pretty sure she knows nothing about it, but apparently, she can’t trust herself not to have done it. This doubt plagues her through most of the investigation.

Melanie and Toby suspect it might be the new warlock in town, and get their magician friend, Ernest Constant, librarian at the National Library of Ireland, to help them take him on. There is a major battle at Ballyboden Bastion, former home of the O’Neill clan of vampires with the warlock, Malik Oaken. During the battle, some of the vampires show up – left from before their war, or called back to life by Malik Oaken. In battling them, Melanie discovers that she indeed has some power working with charms of her own. She defeats Malik and Toby shoots him. If he was the culprit, he is unable to tell how to reverse the paralysis of the victims, but Melanie hopes that there will be no more charm attacks.

No such luck. There are more attacks. They come to realize that the mysterious attacker is using the charms to block their senses one by one.
Melanie realizes that she needs to find the attacker before he blocks all their senses. She thinks several times she knows who it is, but each time turns out to be wrong. When the attacker is revealed, it is someone she would never have suspected.

5.0 out of 5 stars I was 'Charmed"
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2017
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

I loved the Hibernian Charm. You were introduced to Melanie in the first book, Hibernian Blood and I liked her right from the start as well as her partner Toby who always had humorous comments. But things aren't like they seem. As Melanie tries to figure out the case, she is also trying to figure out herself and where she fits in the world.
This has many of the things I look for in a book: sharp, witty writing, interesting and well developed characters. I enjoy paranormal stories so this was a winner for me. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Sorry, Dean. This book was rather disappointing after book one. The editing was sloppy and distracting. It also seemed ponderous at times. The ending was almost a given. I am very surprised this author usually delivers. Not this Ti,e

2.0 out of 5 stars Slow start
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017
I received a complimentary copy for an honest review and I was disappointed in this one. I found myself a little lost and confused with the fluidity of the story, it seemed that the first half of the book had absolutely nothing to do with the second half. I was actually quite bored with it for about 60% of it and there wasn't enough depth in the characters to even care what happened to them. Although this and Hibernian Blood are stand-alone stories there was mention of Rua and the vampire families from the other book but nothing more and quite frankly I wished this one had just explored more of Melanie instead, focusing on her background and the magic of the charms for the complete book because the last 40% of the book was actually really good with a nice amount of suspense, action and depth.

4.0 out of 5 stars And he's back!

Was a bit worried after Book 1 appeared to be a disappointment to me, but with "Charm", the master is back! If you're looking for an evolution of the tale begun in Book 1 with James and Rua, you're not going to get it. "Charm" is a completely different story. The only link is they both occur in Hibernian Hollows, although there is mention in passing of the Kavanagh/O'Neill battle. This is a bittersweet, short, somewhat romantic self actualization story you'll not want to miss!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great adventure story
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017
This is the next in the series and follows Melanie as she investigates for the occult activities. The storyline has adventure and the characters are great and helps develop the storyline. I can’t wait for the the next book. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A story of a different flavor
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2017
This is the 2nd book in Dean F. Wilson's "Hibernian Hollows" series of books. It's quite different from the first one, which was primarily a vampire war fantasy. This one, although occult, is mainly a detective mystery story. Either one that you choose will give you a great read just in a different flavor.

I received an advance reader copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars A tighly written and enjoyable novella.
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017
I received this as an Advanced Reading Copy.

Having read several long ARC's, I was expecting this to be a longer story too. So I skipped over to something I thought would be shorter. Since it was the weekend, I thought I would get this out of the way and try to catch up. I mention that because I was surprised to discover this was a short story. Perhaps more of a novella. I'm a fast reader and this was under an hour for me so it might be longer for others and therefore a bit more than just a short story.

As a shorter work of fiction, it was well done. It was tightly written, fast paced, and enjoyable. In some ways, it might even be considered better than the book before it. If you liked the previous title in this series you should like this one as well. It shifts the POV to that of two police officers trying to solve a crime. It is not so much a mystery as the point is less about discovering the culprit and more about catching a known culprit. Of course, things are not always what they seem.
