Publisher's summary

Dead men tell no tales. I can make them talk. An echo remains in their blood. I can tap into it. I can speak to the dead. It might be dangerous, but what choice do I have? The vampire king might be in hell, but he still desires me. He'll stop at nothing to make me his. I refused to be his queen on earth. Does he really think he can compel me to become his queen in hell?

I'm Hailey Bradbury: hedge witch and vampire. My sire was staked moments after I was turned. As a youngling, the Voodoo Queen took me in. She taught me her art. I've been working with the new Mistress of the Vampire Council. She trained me in the ways of vampirism, the path of the night. Witchcraft plus voodoo plus vampirism equals what I call bloodwitchery. Most witches won't mess with the power latent in blood. It's dark. It's dangerous. But if you can master it...You can harness the power of life itself.

Ghouls and Grimoires is the fourth volume in Theophilus Monroe’s expansive Blood Witch Saga. Hailey Bradbury was only 16 when she was turned seven years ago. She might be a young vampire—but she’s an accomplished witch. After all, only the most daring of witches dabble in blood magic. Readers of Monroe’s Legacy of a Vampire Witch, Voodoo Academy series, or The Legend of Nyx, have encountered Hailey before. Now, she has come into her own. She may be a member of the vampire council, her mentor might be the Voodoo Queen, but no one tells this blood witch what to do. Ghouls and Grimoires is an action packed urban fantasy with a heavy dose of closed door paranormal romance.

Another well-written story from a very good author

Ghouls and Grimoires (The Blood Witch Saga Book 4), my thirty-third read from author Theophilus Monroe. Theophilus Monroe has become one of my favorite authors this year. Well written & enjoyable read, the fourth in his Blood Witch Saga series. I was given an Audible copy of this book (and own a Kindle copy as well so I could read along while being read to) & am voluntarily reviewing it. Kelley Hazen’s narration again adds to the book’s enjoyment. I look forward to Faeries and Fangs (The Blood Witch Saga Book 5), the next book in this series when it comes out in January of next year. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Great Read

Ghouls and Grimoires (The Blood Witch Saga Book 4) was a great read by Theophilus Monroe. Hailey was sixteen years old when she was turned seven years ago. She can make dead men talk by speaking to them. The vampire king still desires Hailey even if he might be in hell. Unfortunately for him Hailey refuses to be his queen. I loved the life that Kelley Hazen brought to the characters. I can't wait to read more by the authors.

Surprise!

Another great book in this series! This one had me hooked and I read/listened in one sitting! Hailey had quite the adventure with Connor. I was expecting it to be finishing up with what happened to Cain, but pleasantly surprised!

Excellent!

I absolutely love this series and the author's other books. This was my favorite entry in the series so far. Action packed fast moving series and I love the main character Hailey. She is such a snarky little spit-fire! Well done. Waiting for more!!!

Humorous Paranormal Mystery

I was entertained by book 4 of "The Blood Witch Saga" series. Hailey and her friends were looking for a grimoire and the path was filled with obstacles. The story was bizarre and wacky and filled with the usual humor found in a Theophilus Monroe's series. Kelley Hazen's narration was great and fit the story's ambiance well. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

And the race is on!

When Hailey is told she needs a particular grimoire to defeat Corbin, the race is on to obtain it. Like most quests, there are plenty of obstacles and maybe a few more objectives along the way. Saving Cain might just be one of those sub-quests. This author just keeps getting better and Kelley Hazen does an awesome job at narrating.

Always a treat

I love this series. There is so much going on and new characters and dilemmas coming about like faerie’s and ogres . Even having Lucifer return to down below. Hailey got her self a baby vamp so not what she wanted or needed . There was a lot of action and the narration was again perfect. The narrator does an amazing job juggling each character and their personas along with the sound effects. Just great!

A Great Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it very enjoyable. Hailey is still hunting the vampire king. Not only is he a dragon, but he also rules hell. With the help of her friends she's off the looking for a grimoire that will give her the advantage. So off she goes with two ghosts, 3 vampires and a wolf shifter, what could go wrong? Interesting characters and suspenseful, fast moving plot will keep you listen until the end. This is a very enjoyable series that just keeps getting better.
