Welcome to Everlasting, Maine, where there's no such thing as normal.
As a centaur, Deputy Jake Majoy (Deputy March), is immortal and has seen and done a lot in his five hundred years. Enough to know that Everlasting feels like home. It’s been perfect for him to fade away and blend in, as the town is anything but normal—and they protect their own. So, when a newcomer ends up in their midst, at the same time magical items go missing around town, it’s his duty to step in to restore law and order. But the pull he feels to the woman is anything but part of the job.
Kelsey Gibbons has (literally) followed all the signs leading to the tiny town of Everlasting, Maine. When her arrival coincides with an uptick in crime, it becomes very clear that the chaos has only just begun. And when a hunky man in uniform shows up on the scene, it’s all she can do to focus on finding answers.
Can she and Jake beat the clock and the evil that has come back to town?

Crystal balls, moon necklaces, and magic, seriously are these people for real?

Total Eclipse of the Hunt by Mandy M. Roth is a supernaturally cute cozy mystery. The little town of Everlasting, Maine is so cool. The characters that the four authors have come up with are freaking great. I enjoy the reoccurring roles of the other town folk.

And Love hits them like a brick, well Jake anyway.

Kelsey Gibbons is our female lead. She is a foster kid from Boston and truly felt like she didn’t fit in with anyone in Boston. Friends are something that Kelsey really didn’t have, and she doesn’t have a lot of personal possessions. Yet, she has this really sweet personality and bravery (even if she thinks it a recent acquisition). Kelsey got a job at the antique store helping out Penelope and Wilbur when she meets Jake for the first time the instant attraction is scary and also invigorating.

Jake Majoy (Deputy March) is about to find his purpose. When Jake sees Kelsey for the first time he can’t seem to control anything, he trips over the gumball machine outside Wilbur’s shop, a few times before making it inside where he is still tripping of the antique furniture. It was endearing to see Jake so out of his normal character around Kelsey.

There are some new characters like Leopold whom we don’t really get to know that well. Then there is Mr. Reyes, and Ellsworth the bus driver. However, we also have some of our other townsfolk like High, Curt, Buster, Petey, Polly and her pet lobster Herman.

There are some pretty funny things going on and there is, of course, the mystery. Wilbur’s hunting cabin never looked better. Naked men running around in the woods. Then there is the rainbow shooting magic. I love that! Oh and don’t forget the black magic and the evil Babcock family. Happy endings are the best.

I truly enjoyed Total Eclipse of the Hunt. My rating is 4 stars. I highly recommend this series to other paranormal cozy lovers.
