About this book

Bridget Shadesglow is the backbone of the Halloween Neighborhood, a woman whose fierce loyalty to Mayor Vlad Everdark leaves no room for anything else. When the village’s pumpkins vanish just days before the main event, her meticulously organized world begins to crumble. To save the Mayor’s reputation and the holiday itself, she is forced to turn to the one person she vowed to leave in her past: her ex-boyfriend, Loki Hauntington.

Loki is a reformed poltergeist who has spent years waiting for a second chance to prove he is no longer the immature ghost he once was. When Bridget arrives at his door with accusations, he sees a golden opportunity. He proposes a partnership to solve the mystery, trapping them in a delicious, slow-burn forced proximity that neither can escape. As they hunt for the culprit, the spectral chemistry between them proves that some haunting memories are impossible to bury.

This paranormal romance is a hauntingly beautiful addition to the Holiday Village series. It perfectly balances a whimsical whodunit with a heartfelt exploration of growth and redemption. If you are looking for a cozy, atmospheric read that celebrates second chances, this ghostly tale will leave you enchanted long after the final page.

hauntingly beautiful

Wow! Not what I expected at all. It is not often that you see a ML that actually recognizes his BS and is actively trying to change and grow. He is awesome! Not to mention Bridget, though she wasn’t at fault for the initial breakup, in the end she grows as well and they find solace and peace in each other. This is not even mentioning the awesome pumpkin mystery that brings them together in the first place. Love the latest addition to the holiday village romance and the teaser for the next...

Great way to end the season!
