About this book
Nocturne Falls is a town where Halloween never ends, but for Sunday Wells, the festive atmosphere cannot mask the terrifying shadows haunting her. As a preschool teacher and a witch struggling to control a dark, burgeoning power, Sunni seeks sanctuary with her great-aunt. She expects a quiet path to self-discovery, but she finds her life upended by the arrival of an unexpected houseguest who is as dangerous as the shadows she fears.
Enter Lorenzo Robillard, a brooding vampire on the run from a ruthless European crime boss. Ren has spent his life rescuing kidnapped children, but now he is the one in the crosshairs. Seeking refuge with his own relative, he finds his plans for safety thwarted by the presence of a woman who is as sunny as her name suggests. Sparks fly immediately between the dark, battle-hardened protector and the conflicted witch.
This paranormal romance masterfully blends the academy-style discovery of hidden powers with a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Kristen Painter delivers a gripping tale where light and dark collide, proving that even the most guarded hearts cannot resist the pull of fate. If you are looking for a magical escape filled with mystery, tension, and undeniable chemistry, this story is your next must-read.

Followers of my reviews will know that the Nocturne Falls series holds a special place in my heart, yes even the books with the damn werewolves, not that this one features a werewolf but I am just throwing that out there! This14th installment is actually a little different in the fact that BOTH of the main love interests are new characters to the series. They come with very strong connections to characters we know and love, but they are both completely new all the same. I am constantly in awe...

This was an enjoyable entry into this series. The audio was great and I enjoyed watching Sunny and Ren fall for each other. Some of these books have been feeling plot-light lately, but this one had enough of an intriguing story, while remaining cozy and sweet, that it was an fun listen. )

Another quick and touching story! I feel like the older person who has to watch novellas for relief. But as much as I love a grisly horror book, these make you feel better, even though, the stories are different and different characters. Enjoying it!! )

I enjoy all the books in Nocturne Falls book series. Mystery, adventure and romance in each one. All the characters are unique and endearing. Moments of funny too. Ren and Sunni’s first meeting was a bit rocky but clearly became more later. I highly recommend reading the series. Easy to read and captures a thirst for reading to the end !! )
