With a traumatic year of fending off a serial killer behind her, Arista has settled contentedly into her temporary home with Auntie in Sedona, Arizona.
Hummingbird Moonrise
“Dodd weaves a delicious tale of witchcraft, curses and missing persons that takes place in a small town among the California redwoods. The tone varies between cozy and creepy, sometimes depending on the point of view. Dodd is especially skilled at pacing and character reveal, creating a story that burns in slowly increasing intensity.”
-BlueInk Reviews
“A nuanced, multifaceted yarn with magical machinations and real-world concerns.”
-Kirkus Reviews
“I was moved. Not just by the tragic past that hangs over the Kelly family, but by the hope that emerges through Arista’s strength. This is a book for those who like their witch stories intimate, their mysteries character-driven, and their fiction laced with emotion and weirdness in equal measure. If you enjoy Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic, but wish it had a bit more grit and ghost stories, Hummingbird Moonrise might just be your cup of tea. Or maybe your crystal-infused moon water. Either way, it’s worth the read.”
-Literary Titan
“Dodd fuses folklore, witchcraft, and familial bonds into a mystery that’s full of tension and emotional stakes. The prose is fluid and poetic, but never overindulgent. The dialogue feels authentic, especially in the moments of warmth and wit between Arista and Auntie. The pacing is steady, picking up momentum as secrets are uncovered and choices must be made.”
