Halloween romance that isn't terrifying is a rarity, but this book delivers! It's an enemies-to-lovers story between a witch and a witch-hunter, both of whom are not very good at their jobs. Bel struggles with anxiety and accidentally knits all her anxiety into the scarves she's been selling on Etsy. When an Ancient buys one and views it as a declaration of war, the Ancient attacks Bel's hometown of Leyton (ley lines, get it) and Bel must team up with Elijah to save the world. As you do.
There were a few small plot holes (I'm still not sure why Elijah was necessary when Bel has these two awesome aunts who are super powerful) and a few copy-editing errors, but the book is packed with Halloween-y things and I was so charmed that I sort of ignored them. As with most novellas, I'd like to have spent more time with plot and character development, but novellas are what they are.

This kisses-only romance is funny and fluffy and could be just what you need for a spoopy Halloween fix.

I received a copy of this book for review. ( )
