Hummingbird Moonrise
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
“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.”

What people are saying about Hummingbird Moonrise
“From beginning to end, I was engaged, and between the entertaining characters, the multilayered tensions and gradually building suspense, and the wonderful depictions of magick, spellwork, and rituals, it was an absolute joy to read.”
~ J Flowers
For me, book twos usually come with some trepidation. Will this be a powerful novel all on its own, or will it just be a bridge to book three? Dodd destroys this fear page after page. Each new location, character, or magical aspect serve a purpose here. The bigger picture is slowly, tantalizingly revealed with some majorly jaw-dropping twists… This novel is a beautiful balance of both charming and darkness.
~ Chelsey Tucker, Independent Book Review
“This was so fun to read! I enjoyed the crystal and spellwork and how you went about incorporating that all into the story.”
