HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

This is my absolute favorite holiday! After today I start to get cranky about all the Christmas stuff. I’m a real life Grinch. lol

I planned on some spooky reading but it didn’t really pan out but here are two Halloween themed romance stories (the first is of the sexy variety – the second just kissing) and a potentially spooky read that I started last night.



Mating the Huntress by Talia Hibbert

This Halloween, love bites back… hard.

Chastity Adofo knows a monster when she sees one. As soon as Luke Anthony wanders into her family’s coffee shop, she recognises the evil lurking beneath his charming smile and fantastic arse. The handsome werewolf is determined to have her—but she’s determined to cut out his heart.

Little does she know, Luke’s plans for her are far more pleasurable than murder. And when the full moon rises, all bets are off…

Warning: Mating the Huntress is 30,000+ words of red-hot, Halloween-themed romance. This novella contains one flirtatious, cursed creature of the night, one badass, knife-happy heroine, and forbidden lust at first sight. Please read responsibly! ~ Goodreads

My thoughts:

Sexy as hell fated mate romance between a werewolf and a huntress set during Halloween so perfect for October reading.

Luke was sufficiently growly and possessive of his new found mate but he was also sweet, tender, and respectful of her feelings. He was too darn cute for words, and Chas was tough, kind and intelligent.



Geeky, Freaky, Clueless by G.G. Andrews

Phineas Harrington was Vina Penjarla's first real kiss. But when she discovers the gorgeous Brit is the new theater director she'll be working with, things get super complicated. After all, Vin knows nothing about this dating stuff. And as her attraction for the sweet and intelligent guy grows, so does her fear that he's keeping a big, dark secret.


But what if Vin has a secret of her own? ~ Goodreads

My thoughts: I always look forward to the latest release to this fun Halloween themed romance series. I wish there was a little more Halloween to this story but otherwise both Phineas and Vin were super cute together as they try to get over their awkwardness – and the fact that Phin might be a serial killer. The series is on KU and the first book – Crazy, Sexy, Ghoulish takes place in a seasonal haunted house.


Flesh by Laura Bickle

The dead are easy to talk to. Live people, not so much.

Charlie Sulliven thinks she knows all the secrets of the dead. Raised in a funeral home, she’s the reluctant “Ghoul Girl,” her reputation tied to a disastrous Halloween party. But navigating her life as a high school sophomore is an anxiety-inducing puzzle to her. She haunts the funeral home with her parents, emo older brother, Garth, their pistol-packing Gramma, and the glass-eyeball-devouring dachshund, Lothar.

Chewed human bodies are appearing in her parents’ morgue…and disappearing in the middle of the night. The bodies seem tied to a local legend, Catfish Bob, who has resurfaced in the muddy Milburn river near Charlie’s small town. When one of Charlie’s classmates, Amanda, awakens in the cooler as a flesh-eating ghoul, Charlie must protect her newfound friend and step up to unravel the mystery…and try to avoid becoming lunch meat for the dead. ~ Goodreads

My thoughts: I’m reading this one right now and it’s kind of younger skewing than I expected.

Charlie is the daughter of a coroner and lives at her parents funeral home. There’s a lot of set up which has been kind of boring TBH but things seem to be picking up as bodies are doing weird things – like moving. There’s a funny dachshund that tries to run away with body parts of the Dearly Departed and interesting side characters so I think it will be fun once the plot kicks in.





And it’s also the day that I torture my pets. They’ve been sick over the weekend (they’re ok now!) so I only managed last minute costumes but ehhh…still cute.

Fonzi is some kind of fairy/unicorn hybrid (he wanted to eat the feathers the whole time) and Indy is being basic lol He’s 16 and done with this silly costume business. He used to LOVE dressing up though.

These are some of my past dog costumes when we had Indy, Beau & Lily.

Have you been reading anything spooky? Do you do anything to celebrate the day?
