Today we’re bringing you a deep dive follow up to a very exciting and mostly spoiler free author interview episode with Hazel Mack all about the monster romcom series that stole our hearts: Haven Ever After! We’ll be discussing all NINE books that complete this lighthearted happily ever after series including eight full length books, and one short novella.

This series has every type of monster - gargoyles to vampires, witches to werewolves, and everyone in between… and they are ALL falling in love. Single dad, sports romance, enemies to lovers, fated mates, second chance romance, and he falls first are just some of the tropes we love. And don’t worry… every book is at least a 3-4 on the spice scale, despite the Gilmore Girls vibes. 😉

We hope you’re going on this journey to the magical, sentient town of Ever with us. If not, there’s still time! We give a brief description of the series as a whole and then get into our least and most favorite moments, MMCs, FMCs, and couples, and even share notable quotes and an overall ranking of every book. Just read it, we promise you’ll love it!

And then stick around for a good old fashioned fave and fail about vacation prep, good bookmail days, and a Ricky Bobby baby, and a smash or pass full of monsters!
