Gatefold LP + 7" version. Witches, Spiders, Frogs & Holes contains the solo output from 2009 to 2014 of the artist known as Marcel Bontempi. Unearthed from record bins all over Europe and the dusty archives of little-known specialty labels from as far afield as Frankfurt and Beverungen to Málaga and painstakingly gathered, this is the most comprehensive collection of this twisted genius's recordings. Born Marcel Sala Kelkel sometime in the early 1970s to a German mother and a Catalan father, Marcel was encouraged by his father, an accomplished sculptor in his own right, to doodle, draw, and paint for most of his waking hours, though it wasn't long before this simply wasn't enough and the young Marcel discovered music. Soon his affair with the devil's music began. Around 1994 Marcel formed the band that would eventually become The Montesas, who have since released quite a few records and are still active at the time of this release. In 2013 and 2014 Marcel explored his own personal take on "hillbilly" and "rootsy" styles and formed another combo under the moniker Dr. Bontempi's Snake Oil Company, with releases on Squoodge Records. Throughout the years of playing or singing in bands, Marcel has recorded solo material, from rockabilly and harmonious doo-wop to R&B, taking well known classics and warping them to his own vision or borrowing an obscure hillbilly song and adding a mambo, salsa, or beat influence to the mix, making it something unique. This album showcases just a small fraction of his recordings made over the years. They cross genres and styles, some originals, some cover versions. Some from as far back as the '40s and into the '50s and '60s, all bearing the unmistakable sound and imprint of Mr. Bontempi.

I am begging you to read this book
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
A group of women trapped in a temple during an invasion who pretend to be sacred priestesses to avoid being killed and it actually works. That is the setup. That is the whole brilliant premise behind the title and honestly it had me from the first chapter.
But what keeps you reading is Edie.
She is not a chosen one, not a warrior, not a princess. She is older, she has already lived a full complicated life before this story starts, and that history shapes every decision she makes. When everything falls apart and she ends up somewhere she never expected to be, she does not transform overnight. She reads the room, adjusts, and keeps going. It sounds simple but it is so refreshing compared to what fantasy usually gives us.
The women around her are just as important. They do not instantly become a perfect found family. They figure each other out slowly, earn each other's trust over time, and what builds between them ended up being one of my favorite things about this entire book.
The romance is slow burn done right. Not manufactured tension, not two people being stubborn for no reason. Real yearning, real patience, real payoff.
The magic and world building are present without being overwhelming. There is a nature and ritual element running through everything that gives the story a distinct feel without stopping to explain itself every five minutes.
The final stretch of this book is something I was not prepared for. By that point you are so invested in these characters that everything carries weight it would not have had on page one.
If you want wall to wall action this is not your book. If you want fantasy that actually makes you feel something, this is exactly your book. One of my favorite reads in a long time. When I was finished reading it, I just kinda sat there... trying to savor every moment of it.
Five stars. I recommend this to everyone I know.

BLEW ME AWAY! Loved every moment
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
My new FAVORITE BOOK! Priestess by Kara Reynolds blew me away from start to finish. This is a beautiful story about feminine power, sacrifice, self-worth, friendship, found family, healing and love. And the SLOW burn romance is excruciating and exquisite in the best way (“I am beyond temptation, I have been tempted and I have surrendered”). It was especially wonderful to find a fantasy novel with an FMC in her late 30s that is very relatable. It explores the topics of finding love later in life, fertility and the struggles women have with attaching self-worth with motherhood (My mother says all women are mothers in different ways, that we all give birth, just not all to children. Some women give birth to revolutions, to movements, to sanctuary, to art, to brilliance.”) GAHHH love this. I felt so seen. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat, dying to turn the pages faster to know what happens and at the same time wanting to slow down and enjoy Reynolds beautiful prose and savor each chapter. The ending was perfect and the authors note made me cry. I CANNOT wait to read Illuminator and Pilgrimess which will be out April 28th!!!! Kara Reynolds is def on my auto-buy list 💚

Take a jaunt to Tintar, a city of blue abalones and black stone set above the angry sea...
Format: Paperback
Edie is a clever, gutsy heroine, who is lucky to be surrounded by a crew of likewise interesting ladies. Their tender moments in the bath and at the bar alike were very lovely, and the themes of female friendship were refreshing.
My favorite parts had to do with the magic of this world, which is very novel. Often there's elemental magic, earth gets the short end of the stick. Not so here. The power of earth in this seaside landscape cannot be underestimated, and I really enjoyed that twist. Earth signs, at least, will rejoice in seeing their element treated with real consideration.
All of the scenes of magic and old gods were A+, and I loved the weirdness of the rocks first coming to her in the forest, then erupting from the ground to let her know without a doubt what her strength was, and finally forming majestic creatures to rescue her new home—all based on the women who had supported and loved her.
The final conflict was excellent. There was a real sense that Edie was going to sacrifice something that she did not want to let go of, which you don't get that often. (Plus, it was pretty funny when a certain someone got tossed over a wall.)
Finally, given the themes of womanhood in this book, I am going to pull a word from the big reviewers' lexicon and say that this book is /timely/. What it says about what women are and are not, how it explores Edie's feelings about her body, were thoughtful and illuminating and, yes, timely and given the political climate we are now in—I will even add /necessary/ to that list.
It's a rich, femme-centric fantasy epic that made me think about womanhood (and motherhood) in a new light.

Woman's experience and the power of female friendships
Format: Kindle
This story was amazing, and had several elements currently lacking from the genre. It was mature, wise, experienced, and empathetic. It was wonderfully representative of women's experience, with the bonds and friendships between them serving as the balm for life's hurts.
**Spoiler alert/warning: Reynolds tackled SA, infertility, teenage pregnancy, and more. Her representation of infertility is the most true-to-form capture of that awful journey that I've ever seen in literature (AND it wasn't "cured" by the love of the "right" man - something that drives me crazy in 99.99999% of stories that try to touch on infertility). She even included the realness of the older infertile woman's response to the teenage pregnancy in a raw and unfiltered way. Another review said it but I'll back it up: Kara knows. And she shows you that she knows.
Thank you for your empathetic writing, Kara Reynolds. Thank you for seeing women and our experiences and representing us on the page. I was touched, moved, inspired, and comforted by the power of female friendships and found family. The romance was gorgeous, even in its predictability. Because it was clear that the true loves of her life were those enduring women who walked life alongside her. Amazing story.

Girl a struggle that I couldn't not finish.
Format: Kindle
Keep writing Kara girl. Maybe shorten something. But I enjoyed the story. I did not enjoy the uncertainty because it was never uncertain. I enjoy the story though.
