Reviews"Inspired by Christina Rossetti's poem 'Goblin Market,' Ringle takes us to a Pacific Northwest town where magic can be sinister and creatures lead us far from the path. You won't want to go down into the faerie realm, but you won't be able to resist it either. Ringle's novel is fast-paced and sparkling with dangerous spells and unexpected delights. The goblins aren't ethereal and magical; they don't sparkle, shimmer, or shine. They repulse and draw you in -- all at the same time."- Kate Ristau, author of Shadow Girl and Clockbreakers, "This story cast just as much of a spell over me as the goblins cast over Skye. Once I entered Molly's beautifully crafted world where magic and reality mingled, I didn't want to leave!" --Rachel Morgan, author, the Creepy Hollow series, "The lion's share of this final volume is a slow boil, but while there's more introspection than in previous volumes, Ringle provides a thoroughly satisfying thread-tying conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly "Forget true love's kiss to break a spell, or slaying a dragon to rescue the princess; Ringle employs familiar fairy tale tropes but turns them on their heads to deliver something wholly unexpected and fresh." -- Publishers Weekly " The Goblins of Bellwater is flirty and romantic, deadly and dangerous, filled with love and curses; and it finds a cozy middle between magic and nightmares. A cautionary tale of magic that brings to life a dark and gritty fairytale." --Elizabeth Konkel, Seattle Book Review " Molly Ringle has . . . created a vivid and enjoyable erotic romp through the world of magical beings. Excellent descriptions of local settings, flora and fauna help place readers in the wintry world of the Pacific Northwest, where magic and love reside among the tall Douglas firs and waters of the sound." --Lee E. Cart, Shelf Awareness, " The Goblins of Bellwater is a delightfully creepy paranormal romance set in the rich landscape of the Pacific Northwest . . . a journey to a world that feels both familiar and freaky--a wonderful place to get lost." --Claire Foster, Foreword Reviews, "If you want a book that will challenge, excite and enthrall you, then this might be the book for you." -- Long and Short Reviews, "This was a beautiful story, and I'm really excited to see how it unfolds in future installments of the series." --Kaitlin Bevis, author, Persephone, "Once I entered Molly's beautifully crafted world where magic and reality mingled, I didn't want to leave!"- Rachel Morgan, Author of the Creepy Hollow series, "I read Persephone's Orchard a year ago and it still remains one of the most unique and engaging retellings of the Hades and Persephone myth I've ever read." --Rachel Alexander, Author of Receiver of Many, "Ringle's novel is fast-paced and sparkling with dangerous spells and unexpected delights. The goblins aren't ethereal and magical; they don't sparkle, shimmer, or shine. They repulse and draw you in -- all at the same time." --Kate Ristau, author, Shadow Girl and Clockbreakers, "The lion's share of this final volume is a slow boil, but while there's more introspection than in previous volumes, Ringle provides a thoroughly satisfying thread-tying conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly "Forget true love's kiss to break a spell, or slaying a dragon to rescue the princess; Ringle employs familiar fairy tale tropes but turns them on their heads to deliver something wholly unexpected and fresh." -- Publishers Weekly " The Goblins of Bellwater is flirty and romantic, deadly and dangerous, filled with love and curses; and it finds a cozy middle between magic and nightmares.

Excellent descriptions of local settings, flora and fauna help place readers in the wintry world of the Pacific Northwest, where magic and love reside among the tall Douglas firs and waters of the sound." --Lee E. Cart, Shelf Awareness " The Goblins of Bellwater has some of the eerie sensuality of Christina Rossetti's poem, and the setting is wonderfully conjured . . . Anyone who likes their fantasy sexy, fast-paced and contemporary will love it." --Kate Forsyth, author, Bitter Greens, " Immortal's Spring pulls readers right back into this reimagining of the Greek myths and emergence of modern-day gods and goddesses, and this novel is just as hard to put down as the previous two." -- San Francisco Book Review, "The lion's share of this final volume is a slow boil, but while there's more introspection than in previous volumes, Ringle provides a thoroughly satisfying thread-tying conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly, "The lion's share of this final volume is a slow boil, but while there's more introspection than in previous volumes, Ringle provides a thoroughly satisfying thread-tying conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly "Forget true love's kiss to break a spell, or slaying a dragon to rescue the princess; Ringle employs familiar fairy tale tropes but turns them on their heads to deliver something wholly unexpected and fresh." -- Publishers Weekly, "The touches of pagan culture and elemental magic are perfectly applied, giving the modern setting an old-world, surreal flavor." --Olivia Fields, author, Her Heart's Liege, "Captivating from start to finish, as fraught with intrigue as it is with romance, this is the perfect end to an unforgettable trilogy." --Jamie Deacon, author, Caught Inside
SynopsisMost people have no idea goblins live in the woods around the small town of Bellwater, Washington. But some are about to find out., Most people have no idea goblins live in the woods around the small town of Bellwater, Washington. But some are about to find out. Skye, a young barista and artist, falls victim to a goblin curse in the forest one winter night, rendering her depressed and silenced, unable to speak of what happened. Her older sister, Livy, is at wit's end trying to understand what's wrong with her. Local mechanic Kit would know, but he doesn't talk of such things: he's the human liaison for the goblin tribe, a job he keeps secret and never wanted, thrust on him by an ancient family contract. Unaware of what's happened to Skye, Kit starts dating Livy, trying to keep it casual to protect her from the attention of the goblins. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Kit, Skye draws his cousin Grady into the spell through an enchanted kiss in the woods, dooming Grady and Skye both to become goblins and disappear from humankind forever. It's a midwinter night's enchantment as Livy, the only one untainted by a spell, sets out to save them on a dangerous magical path of her own., Most people have no idea goblins live in the woods around the small town of Bellwater, Washington.
