Hallow's Ween is a love story gone wrong. Chloe is in love with Jacob. Jacob doesnt see her. With the help of her friend, Maggie (who is in love with her), find a husbandry spell and decide to trick Jacob into loving Chloe. It takes a turn for the worse and Chloe ends up with more than she bargained for, and Jacob has no idea what is going on. ( )

The author comes up with an imaginative story behind the origin of Halloween. Don't let that documentary on the origins of Halloween that has aired on the History Channel prevent you from enjoying this cautionary tale.

The prologue make me chuckle because its protagonist was honest about being a jerk. On the other hand, the fate of Chloe Hallow, a girl determined to get Jacob Hope, the classmate of her dreams, is not funny. Certainly classmates Maggie and Peter weren't laughing.

The teachers and librarian thought they had set safeguards to prevent students from misusing certain spells. Unfortunately, their safeguards were no match for Chloe's determination and Maggie's helpfulness.

A very foolish mayor only makes things worse. Much, much worse. I could see this story becoming a half-hour episode on a spooky teen show. Happy horrors!

I received this book through member giveaway in exchange for this review. ( )

Hallow's Ween is a short story about the origin of Halloween. Chloe Hallow is a witch that is smitten with another witch. She tries to come up with a way for him to fall in love with her, but such magic is forbidden. Chloe's friend Maggie unknowingly helps Chloe find a loophole to the forbidden magic, but the end result is less than ideal. I thought this was an enjoyable and interesting story. Would recommend for a quick read to get you in the Halloween spirit! ( )
