Oct 27, 2019 Jenni Bishop rated it really liked it

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by D.P. Payne is a set of paranormal stories that are each unique and different from other stories. Each one is steamy and the finding of true love. I love the way DP used characters that are less shared in stories such as a Wendigo, a Pharaoh, a ghost and the Loch Ness monster. It also didn’t hurt that three of them where sexy men and one sexy woman.

Parched is the story of one greedy man who due to his greed was turned into a monster ...more

DP Payne is one of those must read authors, especially when it comes down to PNR. I had read a few of the Supernatural Love stories prior to this box set being released and I am so glad that I got the chance to scoop them all up in one neat package to devour at my own pace and time. I also adore box sets when they are from my favorite series and authors because it makes the ability to gift them to family and friends and spread that author love. Each book could be read in whichever order and at DP Payne is one of those must read authors, especially when it comes down to PNR.

Each book could be read in whichever order and at your discretion but I read them as they were arranged and loved every moment of it. The option to bounce around is there as long as you read them all, because they are too good to pass up. Ill give you a touch on each book but these really should just be scooped right up and devoured. You won’t regret it once you do. I look forward to finding out what else we will get from DP Payne in the near future! I am sure it will be wonderful!

~Parched~
This scooped my heart up and crushed it, then proceeded to put it all back together in a way I never knew I needed. Yes this has it all and dives into the greedy, dirty, sexy parts of life. Each of the characters shined in their own way and complemented the story perfectly grasped my attention for the next awaited book. There is 4000 plus years of angst packed into this short and sweet love story that will give you a taste of the dark paranormal as well. All around a five star read on its own.

~Cursed~
We get a bit more time travel with this one and of course some more of that paranormal and dark twisty love that we love reading from DP Payne. I was so excited to see the woman heroine shine in this novel and it made for some funny parts as she stood her ground. The names caught me up a tad in this book, simply because I am a fast reader and sometimes I found the flow thrown off with trying to make sure I got the name to sound right in my head. All a personal preference though so this book comes in at a strong four stars. Not my favorite of the group but I still loved it nonetheless. A very mummy like trip that I really was happy to have had the chance to read. I am so ready to get my hands on Spirited though!

~Spirited~
Margot and Blake steal the story with Spirited, and the favorite spot for me with this series. I adored Margot, in fact she reminds me of myself in some ways for sure. I can be a bit of a smartyalec and she is the epitome of one. I found myself high-fiving and cheering her on a few spots. I really loved her lol. I also enjoyed the setting of New Orleans, it really shined in the novel and took me away. Blake was a blast to follow as well and I really just overall enjoyed this book! Murder, laughter, dark and magical feelings, and of course the heat of romance all combine to make this one shine the brightest of them all!

Each of these books are different yet alike, something I really enjoyed and even more so was something that broke up the monotony of reading that I sometimes find myself in. I can’t wait to share this with some friends and reread them for myself in the near future! Hope to see more of these box sets as well! ...more

Overall Rating: 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kindle Unlimited: Yes

**** Parched – Book 1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you read the blurb and are ready for something fun and different, this is your book. It was light, short, funny and definitely not serious. Want some sexy supernatural, here you go. Need something to break up those dark reads, this the perfect get away. I had so much fun reading this book.
****
Cursed – Book 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am in love with Wyre. Maybe it’s because I lived in Egypt, but this book was my fave of the series! This short read will give you all the feels 🔥😭❤️ Again, I wish the story was longer because I want more Wyre and Moira. I enjoyed the hell out of these books and they are books I can actually read again and with my to-be-read list is long, but I still turn to these books for a giggle. (Side note, there is an adult coloring book that goes with each of these books)!
**** Spirited – Book 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another fantastic short supernatural read! Margot and Blake were great characters, and I loved to read about them. My biggest complaint, the ending came to soon, not to mention the little twist at the end
that will get you. I will definitely be reading the next in the series.
****
Loched – Book 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Okay, I lied… I DEFINITELY love Bryce the most. Damn Gwyn you killed it with this book! Who doesn’t love a Highlander? This was a steamy short supernatural story with all the feels. My only complaint...I want more!!!

This is an absolutely must read collection for any PNR fan! As I’ve come to expect from anything I have ready by this author, these stories are so unique and well written, you definitely won’t want to put this book down! D.P. Payne makes you want to believe in the supernatural!

I have absolutely loved every single read in this series, each one while being a quick read, keeps you utterly captivated from start till finish, and leave you wanting more from each book, to see the character's journey continue and to see where this author can take them. These books are full to the brim with sexiness, steaminess, adventure, history & just brilliant well developed storylines.

I completely enjoyed this set of stories! Supernatural books are one one of my favorite genres and this did not disappoint.
I am thoroughly intrigued by the use of less common supernaturals such as the wending and a pharaoh, but surprised and pleased with how they worked into the story nicely. Cursed, the story of pharaoh Wyre was probably my favorite because I am always ...more

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd is 4 books in one box set and I thought they were great. There is alot of adventure and intrigue brought out in these stories and they have a great amount of steamyness. I was pulled in from the very first page and each of these stories kept me interested and I couldn't put them down. They're all about finding love in different ways and the supernatural elements I am all for! I love me some PNR! It's hard to pick my favorite book in this boxset because ...more

This collection of stories is a good way to pass a couple of hours. The first three felt more like short stories, but the last one is a bit longer. I like the use of a wendigo as a character because you don’t see that very often. The spin on the mummy’s curse is a bit different as well.

The title is apt, because you will have to suspend belief for some of it, lol. But, since I read it during Halloween season, it seems right in the spirit of things. Also know that there are plenty of steamy ...more

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection. One of my favorite things is that each story was a bit different than ones I’ve read before. They are super long but I really don’t think that hinder any of the stories. I love a story that can find just the right mix between romance and paranormal and each of these stories has a nice balance. You’re definitely taken on an adventure with each unique story world that’s been created. I think I’d have to say Spirited (book 3) was my ...more

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by D.P. Payne was certainly some unique little tales. Very easy to read, and each one a very different story. Romance and really weird happenings is the common thread here. My favorites were Spirited and Loched. In Spirited the enchanting Margot has been haunting her last place of employment for more than a hundred years. When Blake buys the house to renovate it, he gets a lot more than he bargained for. There is some sexual ...more

I enjoyed these four stories. They are a collection of supernatural stories that have some steam and adventure. There is something for everyone in this set. They will pull you in right from the beginning and keep you engaged until the end. Each one is different but they are about finding love. With Halloween right around the corner, this will make for a great read to get you in the spirit. Cursed and Spirited are two of my favorites. Great, strong characters. I highly recommend this book.

This collection of four novellas is a quick read for romance lovers. I wasn’t sure what to expect other than something a bit unexpected. The situations were unique and the characters were intriguing. I found this author to have an interesting voice for the characters presented, one that kept my attention from beginning to end. Definitely not a dull read!
