Encounters With Old Coyote by Laura Koerber- 4 out of 5 stars

I love how this book goes from one end of the script and then flips it on Andrea. From skeptic of afterlife to being a ghost in the afterlife. She and her new found friend begin to share stories as she slowly comes to terms with her death. I am beyond jealous of all the traveling she has done but it made for a good book. I recommend this book.

This is the final book in the the Hidden Valley Elite series. What an amazing end to this knock-out series! This author truly put their all into the characters, with their intrigue and personalities all being so unique; I love how all of these books can be read as stand alones just as well as back to back. Winter and Shane faced their own ghosts, healed from their past traumas, and steamed things up between the two of them. This book was very hard to put down. I highly recommend reading this book.

This was such a great read! Sloan’s journey was both captivating and deeply emotional, making it impossible for me to want to put this book down. A mythical land that was cursed and is suffering a plague that kills people as they stand. The magic of the moon is so captivating, that, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to look at our moon the same. The second half of the book half really picked up pace and swept me up away in the whirl wind of adventure. It was all so fantastic! I highly recommend!
