Book 3 of this funny, paranormal sci-fi romance series keeps you on the edge of your seat. Amazing chase and fight scenes and red hot romance! Winnie's powerhouse narration style and plots full of twists and turns make every page jump. ~~~ 5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Mess With Magic Folk Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2019 Verified Purchase I absolutely loved this. There were so many twists and turns that turned one story into 3 different stories that fed into each other. Each one compelling on its own, yet you know that they are all going to come together for an epic conclusion. And of course, because it's Magic, New Mexico, you all know it will be done with laughter and humor. I loved that so much of the town and different characters were used to truly make it a Magical book! ~~~ Their spirits are free… but their town is under siege. Tashi, a dazzling firebird-moon elf, packs a lot of magical power in her punch. Her discovery that Magic, New Mexico is in trouble sends her winging to the town with a dire warning of doom. It also sets her on a collision course with a super hot warlock. Zac takes one look and knows he has to have Tashi. He’s spent a lifetime turning away from his dark side; now he’s ready to capture this little free-spirited hedonist living her life in wild abandon. Feisty and fearless, she belongs to no one. Zac is determined to make Tashi his, regardless of the cost. Tashi and Zac face three different enemies, each resolved to steal away or destroy the town’s magical residents. In a battle of wits, unusual spells, and bewitching ingenuity, Tashi and Zac’s future together depends on the resilience of love in a world out of kilter. They take their stand against allies once considered friends, a cruel alien race bent on their enslavement, and a vengeful Djinn with a god complex. In a life flipped upside down, what could go right?

Couldn’t put it down. 5.0 out of 5 stars ~~~ A lie meant to protect her could lead to her destruction... Sylvia’s brother, Theo, reveals the unimaginable—their parents were anything but human. Her half-brother may be a dragon, but Sylvia has inherited both their parents’ magic. Her life was already complicated; now the sudden appearance of a handsome, haughty Djinn with anger management issues doubles the tension. She is both drawn to and repulsed by Rafi, which is adding to her confusion. Rafi is shaken when he meets the sweet and sexy Sylvia. How can he—a sworn hater of humanity—be attracted to a human?! He can’t shake the power she has over him or his raging desire for her. As he struggles, determined to win Sylvia and become her forever lover, his own magical brother’s growing madness and violence threatens to overwhelm them all. Sylvia learns there’s a spell covering her, one meant to protect her and hide her magic. She struggles to break the protecting enchantment so she can fight, alongside her brother, against the pestilence that is coming. Is Rafi on their side, or will the fidelity of brotherhood bind him to evil? Facing a master of magic, Sylvia knows her steadfast belief in the human heart and harmony within the forces of the earth isn’t much use. As she races to find the answer to unlocking her magic, she can’t help wondering if their love—connecting Rafi’s wind and her water—can find balance and be enough to protect them and those they love from a force intent on their destruction.

Winnie's powerhouse narration style and plots full of twists and turns make every page jump. ~~~ 5.0 out of 5 stars WHO REALLY WANTS GOOD TO PREVAIL? Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019 Verified Purchase Good vs Evil is an expected in Winnie's beloved Magic, New Mexico tales, but an unexpected twist arises as to who is really wants Good to prevail. I clued in on some inspiration Winnie wove into her Magic characters that made my heart leap. ~~~ Evil has already destroyed her heart — now it wants to ruin the world. Trini is built for murder. A harpy who escaped a lifetime of abuse, she struggles with everything and her fight or flight instincts leave blood and tears in her wake. Wellie is pulled in a direction he never expects — to Trini’s spirit. He searches to find her, convinced that she is the one for him. Whether he can survive her is another matter. Deep in the center of New Orleans the intersection of real and magical worlds is hidden — a portal now under attack by dark forces. The Vapors are determined to upend the balance between light and dark. Their plot is to force the portal to open, but there is one problem — Trini holds the key. The course of humanity hinges on Trini’s ability to overcome her past. Standing at the edge of another Dark Ages, Wellie is willing to die to protect Trini. The question is — is Trini willing to let go and live for him? If you love a fast-paced, good vs. evil tale, grab Harpy Gumbo!

Book 3 of this funny, paranormal urban fantasy series keeps you laughing and makes you think! Winnie's powerhouse narration style and plots full of twists and turns make every page jump. ~~~ 5.0 out of 5 stars So Much FUN! Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021 Verified Purchase I am laughing and loving this series. Snarky, quirky, attitude, humor, a god in a speedo, a protecting cat that grows in size and ferocious fairies – what more do you need? This is a series that you need to start at the first one and work your way through. There is so much to enjoy here. Once again Patra is up to her cute butt in issues, bars and a few werewolves (ok it helps that they are hot!). Her best witchy friend is dealing with some new feelings and trying to lead her coven with a rogue witch and her ever-amusing mom (I know there is more to this mom as we keep getting glimpses of her incredible life). Wait – I forgot to mention – DRAGONS! This series manages to present a good story and food for thought at the same time keeps you reading because it is just FUN! ~~~ I had a handle on things, then the dragons showed up. On the average day, I juggle the human and magical worlds with a reasonable amount of skill. Based on the dude exhaling sparks in front of me, today isn’t most days. I’m Cleopatra O’Keefe, a one jigger juggernaut holding the line between the worlds while slinging drinks and using a symbiont book to help me parse these human, magical, and omnipotent miscreants. I’m just one woman, people. Reality much? Dragon-human hookups are impossible, but Sparky is as real as I am. Poseidon and his ratty red speedo are MIA, and the incoming info all points to the dragons. My question is, are dragons the bad guys or are Olympians pulling my chain? Their track record kinda sucks. The Speedo is down. Crud. Day 6,935 of the weirdest job on the planet.

Book 5 of this funny, paranormal urban fantasy series keeps you laughing and makes you think! Winnie's powerhouse narration style and plots full of twists and turns make every page jump. ~~~ 5.0 out of 5 stars Twisty, satisfying and heartbreaking. Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022 Verified Purchase I originally got into this series because of the clever blurb and the image of Poseidon in a Speedo. I haven't looked back, or been disappointed! In "Funkin' Weird" the world has just made a turn of cosmic proportions and the magical and non-magical elements are seeking balance--with the added complication of a new race. No one knows how this will go but the races are vying for the top spot! My mind was blown by the twisty way the plot unfolded and in no way could I have anticipated the way it manifested. With snarky humor and amazing insights into the nature of the universe as well as wonderful inner dialog from the main characters, Winnie Winkle delivers. Not to mention Titanic sex scenes, and Funkin' Weird drinks! I can't recommend this series enough! ~~~ Down is up, lore is lie, and when the titans aren’t busy boinkin’ they’re getting buzzed. It’s shading weird around here. What's really cookin' my logistical noodle is the immortals. They're dying. Not the most accurate branding, right? I've got a handful of puzzle pieces that don't fit, and a sense of doom that won't quit. What happens when an immortal dies? I wish I knew. As the Keeper, I’m trying to hold the magical and human worlds aligned. I’ve got a symbiotic book, a partner, and dumb luck. The upheaval in Olympus is tinder for a witch war. My lover’s a god who thinks gaming the system is fine, my bestie is a witch ready to toss the Olympians out on their butts, and I’ve got to save a new magical race that can’t find their behinds with both hands and a flashlight. Then the real deal showed up ready to burn the world to the ground. I’m screwed, and it’s only Wednesday.

Book 4 of this funny, paranormal urban fantasy series keeps you laughing and makes you think! Winnie's powerhouse narration style and plots full of twists and turns make every page jump. ~~~ I’m Cleopatra O’Keefe, and I’m tired AF. In the past year, I’ve managed to keep a pile of unappreciative gods and magicals on track, and now a rogue, full-on-jerk pixie king I didn’t know existed is determined to burn the world—and take me out with it. Normally, I'd see this as a shrug and slug back proposition, but the past year's ginormous battles had a price. I need a freaking miracle. The entire world is ready for a drink. And that pixie’s gotta go. So far, the cocktails are the only part I’ve got handled. My rock, my forever love, is on the other side of the globe working to help me, but the distance limits what he can do. We’re all in survival’s countdown, but I’m not down for the count. Yet. The pixie king’s army just blew my safe harbor to smithereens, and everyone I love is at risk. Time to pour a fat glass of payback. ~~~ Reviews for The Record Series: "A magnificent experience following a magical introduction to the Keeper. An urban magical sci-fi that will rock your socks bringing a new look at the lives and levels of gods, magicals of every form and the role of mankind. Reading this magically woven tale brings both warmth and sadness into your heart. It is sooo well written. I believe it is a tale to be kept once finished to read again and again when joy is needed in your life. So acquire "Boogie Beach: The Record, Book One" as soon as you can, because truly it will blow your socks off." Goodreads Review "I did not know what to expect going into the book and it was a wild, unexpected and fun ride! If you love snark, paranormal anything, and well-written, you will love this book." Verified Amazon Review "I loved this second book in the series because it really kept me guessing where things were going. I wasn't crying through this book, instead I was on the edge of my seat. Loved the ending in this one, but I still can't wait to see what happens in the next book!" Verified Amazon Review "Overall, it's a breezy fun novel that kept me guessing, laughing, and wanting more." Verified Amazon Review Winnie Winkle's story telling: "Smart writing full of dark humor that compels you to read page after page to see who, or what comes next." Goodreads Review "Winkle's extraordinary way of narration is absolutely remarkable. Every detail was neatly arranged and as the plot began to unravel there were so many moments of surprising twists." Goodreads Review

REVIEW: The truth is that if we choose to be vulnerable and allow others in, much less love others, we will experience pain. Especially when someone we love dearly dies. Winkle has written a must-read for anyone, particularly women who have experienced a profound loss. Writing about the loss of her mother does not limit the power of this novel to those experiencing the same loss, for Winkle makes it clear that loss is loss. How does one move from the shock and pain to a life lived normally? This is at once a deeply spiritual read and a psychological journey into grief. How can the world around you keep moving as usual when you feel like you are stuck, standing still, gasping for some relief from the hollowness inside? Follow Winkle as she examines life and what makes it worth living. The book is beautifully written as two different stories that begin the transformation that must occur to overcome the devastation of loss so that joy can take hold in its purest form. I found this book to be truly soul-stretching and on point given the last year with losing a family member and so many friends and acquaintances to COVID. I am thankful that I found this at such a low point in my life for it gave me a huge boost back into joy and happiness. This is definitely the best novel dealing with grief I have ever read. ~~~ Unpacking life’s chaos and circles isn’t always a choice. Before breaking, she considered the edge of normal an ideal — cluttered with the screw-ups who couldn't handle life. Now she’s engaged in a bonkers conversation with her heart and mind as she and her mental miscreants scrabble through a facetious struggle to figure out life after loss. She soon discovers leaping from ‘normal’s cliff’ is a sloppy free-fall of rebirth loaded with cosmic oddities and ludicrous miscues. Standing on her edge, she wonders whether living beyond the boundaries is worth the cost of stepping off the abyss into the unknown. She’s about to find out. Discover what happens in this unique, insightful story about when your mind breaks and you have to learn the true meaning of living.

When you mess up your ecosystem to the point you’re on the menu, it’s time to call in the calvary. Specifically, Earth. Blleburbk arrives outside a Pennsylvania bar and hops in the back of a pink pickup. Bongo, whose husband decided he wanted to live (and poop, apparently) in the woods, left her. Since a timberland apron life is not Bongo’s goal, it’s a good thing her bestie, Delilah, surprised her with a Florida road trip. One slight issue: they end up as ground zero for Earth’s first contact. Now they’re helping Blleburbk, renamed Billy Bob by Delilah, who’s halfway to stealing their hearts. He has to find Earth volunteers without blowing his cover, and Delilah has the solution. A few quarts of makeup later, Billy Bob is ready to debut as a drag queen. An attack by a super creepy dude puts them on the run, and Billy Bob is running out of time. Help, in the form of an Elton John impersonator, a shrimp boat captain, and the queen of the Crazy Cute, Vivian Vavoom, may not be enough as Mr. Creepy finds them, and this time, he’s not farking around. Can they get it together and meet the mother ship? Will Billy make it out alive or be so much dissection fodder? Tune in for their first redonkulous caper. It’s Space~Snark~Booze time!

A funny, paranormal urban fantasy book that keeps you laughing and makes you think! Winnie's powerhouse narration style and plots full of twists and turns make every page jump. 5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilled to find such a well written and interesting book! Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022 Verified Purchase Beautifully written with a fresh take on an interaction with the pantheon. It grabbed me and wrenched emotions from me one after another. Loved it! And the best part is that there are more books in the series to read. Now please excuse me as I dive into the next one. ~~~ Two bars, one magical and one human, lie in the exact same space. That should work. It’d better; I run those joints and we’re under attack. I live a pretty weird life—as in gods in speedos, powerful witches with little patience for mere humans, and shifters whose vibrations make my guts quake. Plus, an oceanside bar and a magical book run my existence. Beach life and eccentric are besties. The record picked me, Cleopatra O’Keefe, to be the next Keeper. I took over the book and started chronicling the intersection and occasional asininity of the human and magical worlds. That’s when eccentric plunked its butt on the deck next to mine and we careened into the world of funky oddities seasoned with occasional mayhem. I’ve juggled the two worlds for almost twenty years, but my pier is under attack from the one entity feared by gods and magicals alike. Between slinging drinks, writing the history, and trying to keep the worlds in balance, I’m discovering that the Keeper’s job has way more depth than the magicals told me. Who’s lying? Which bits are truth? I’m at a crossroads and it’s time to make a choice. Toe the line and live, or save the world and die? Typical Tuesday.
