About this book

You’re cordially invited to the wedding of the millennia.

On All Hallows Eve, the Red King and the Gray Queen will unite in matrimony, tying vampires and necromancers forever.

Necromancer Ayameko Shi has never been in a situation like this before. How could a man anticipate her needs before she does? How did someone like him find a person like her? Never in Meko’s wildest dreams did she picture a man like him. One that protects her with his life, killing anyone in the way. After all the years of horror she’s lived, why would someone care for her enough to risk death?

Is this love? Maybe it is, or maybe it isn’t. Whatever she feels, she refuses to acknowledge it unless he says it first.

The “he” in question never wants her to submit—not to him or anyone.

Violent.

Bloodthirsty.

Certifiable.

Vampire King Nikolai is a devil in a three-piece suit. A murderous conversationalist. A borderline psychopath with feelings. A man who uses his hands in more ways than one.

Ayameko is his. She has been since the moment they met.

Yet a clown, a period, an underground venue, a pumpkin king, an assassin and another surprise pregnancy threaten to ruin Ayameko’s special day. That’s if she even decides to go through with it. When the wedding bells ring, will Ayameko walk or be dragged down the aisle?

No matter what happens, one thing is certain.

There will be blood.

As per usual, Dani's world building in impeccable. My poor heart strings! They definitely were pulled in quite a few scenes.

The build up, the humor, the spice, the chaos all of it was 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾 One of the things I loved so much about this was although Nikolai was still very much his deranged self, we got to see more of that “softer” side that only Meko can get and uggh when they FINALLY said their “I love you’s” I ATE IT UP! 🖤 At this point though I’m pretty sure psycho is just a term of endearment between these 2 lol and I’m ok with it 😂 But listen, I would pay money to have Nikolai chuckle in my ear💰and the...

Halloween: a Hollow Ocean Short Story is not a stand alone unlike many of Dani's other books in the series. It must be read after His Crimson Mask in order to be understood. In order to get the most clear picture readers would better be holding off until they had finished all previous 6 books before starting this one, both to enjoy the easter eggs and to avoid spoilers. That said this is definitely her dirtiest, freakiest book in all the best ways. Dani really does write some of the most...
