About this book
Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.
Sydney Marlowe is making big changes to her life. She’s retired from her modelling career and sold her cosmetics company, all to live her dream of being a trad wife in a small town. She just needs to find a husband, something she’s confident won’t be a problem. Especially if she can learn to cook.

FINALLY! dogs not cats! While I adore all the felines in the books, I am a dog person. I used to be a cat person until I ended up with a puppy. But aside from that pointless statement. The story was a fun read. I love all the characters, the ones who are all up in everyone's business, a Lil birdie always around. Every book in this series is a fun read. I always tell friends about this one. Love Kristen's books! All of them! ) One person found this helpful
