Hidden Salem ( Salem Series #1) By Kiki Howell. My Review.

                                                         

Intuition alone brought Makayla to Salem,MA in search of a story, but her research has her confronting more than she bargained for. With her empathic gifts stronger in Witch City, she physically suffers, landing her literally unconscious in the arms of both Noah Ayers ,local cop and Dylan Baines , local history teacher. Yet, it is Laurie, a witch who owns a local shop , who teaches Makayla about who she is and what she can do.
Unfortunately for all of them , Makayla also stumbles upon a coven in the woods practicing a dark magic ritual. Now they are after her , threatening  her life and the lives of those she has quickly come to care about. Immersed in things she never expected , like an old legend and necromancy due to residual hauntings , the race is on to stay safe from the coven and protect her heart from a certain sexy cop.
But, is Laurie correct in thinking Makayla might just have encountered the only real witch in Salem from 1692? And, do they share the same bloodline? 

 ★★★★★
Makayla is an empath,  she can feel the emotions of the people around her and residual emotion even from places. Now she has sold up her house to go on an adventure. She has been stand to Salem.  A place rich in history,  and a place that might help her understand her own abilities. 
As soon as she gets there her visions and feelings seem to get out of her control.  She comes to in the arms of a sexy cop.
Makayla meet two men who she is drawn to in different ways. One makes her feel safe and has a calming effect on her. The other makes her emotions spin so much she doesn't know which emotions are hers and which are his.
Being drawn to some very bad emotions puts Makayla and those near her in very very dangerous situation.  Not all the witches in Salem are good. Some play with power they do not know how to control. 
This book is a whirlwind of emotional energy. Poor Makayla gets hit with so much all at once,  it's a wonder she is not locked up in a loony bin by the end. A few beautiful love scenes,  but not graphic.  I could see a good series growing from this book.

                                                         
Ever since she was young , Kiki Howell has loved to listen to a well-woven tale with real characters, inspired plots , and delightful resolutions. Kik could spend hours lost in a book, and soon she knew that creating lives, loves, and losses with just words had to be the greatest thing she could do. To that end , she pursued her study of literature and writing, earning a bachelor´s degree in English from Kent State University. 
¨After a long break having my boys , I finally just had to write again. And, as soon as I gave the stories the space, they entered it. It´s both awesome and humbling to find the words in my mind become characters on a page and create their lives.¨
Kiki is a multi-published author residing on Northeast Ohio with her incredibly handsome and talented , singer / songwriter husband and two children.
