Celebrate Halloween with this sweet and spooky novella about a haunted house worker who must hide her identity from a guy from her past!

Nora isn't proud of the way she treated Brendan in middle school. Now that they're both in college, she's terrified to come face-to-face with the hot horror geek—especially since Brendan has the power to make or break the haunted house where she works.

The good news? She has plenty of disguises.

The bad news? He's looking a bit too long at her legs under those bloody fishnet stockings...

Nora has to be everything she's not this Halloween so she can hide her true self and terrify Brendan. Not to mention protect her heart. Because what if he realizes she's a monster behind the mask?

Although this romance novella is a standalone, Nora and Brendan's story continues in Scary, Lovesick, Foolish.

Review

"Nerdy stuff + Halloween + romance: yes, please." -- Jessica C. "OMFG!! Thank you as I desperately needed a binge book & this makes my horror nerd heart happy." -- rxrcds "Witty and wonderful! Loved the fresh voice and unique storyline of this unique (set in a haunted house) story of first love and redemption of the past." -- Toby Neal "(T)his story struck the perfect note for an October evening. It's a shorter work, but just the right length for a story about a former mean-girl coming face to face with her own personal horror--the boy she tormented as a young teen becoming grown-up sexy and successful." -- Jen Sokoloski

Single monster seeks monster lover...

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

OMFG!! Thank you as I desperately needed a binge book & this makes my horror nerd heart happy.

Nora was monster in middle school. The pretty popular girl that made fun of others. Now, she only pretends to be monsters in the annual haunted house.

She's tried to make amends to those she wronged in the past and it didn't go very well. But, at least she tried.

Now, here comes another blast from her past, Brendan. The awkward creepy kid in the black hoodie grew up to be a smokin' hot horror nerd god. And, of course, on their first re-meeting she was the awkward one & he had no idea who she was (thanks to monster costumes). Will he still dig her when he finds out she used to be a real monster?

This is a relatively short novella, but definitely set aside the time to binge as you won't want to put it down. I've already snagged the next book in the storyline as well.

Not bad, wish it was longer!

Basics, lead female was a bully growing up and now has come home and the past is getting ready to blow up in her face.
In comes the guy she ripped apart in middle school who is now perfect in every way for her.
She is working in a haunted house for the season and she needs to impress him for her boss, so she does just that and plays her many roles in the haunted house to the absolute delight of her past teenage target.
things progress and they are a great match...as long as he doesn't know who she is.

It's a fun read, short, sweet, and some great giggles. Wish it was longer because I would really love to see where these guys end up.

Scary-Clever Romantic Halloween Fun!

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016

I had to track this one down from a facebook post about a blog post about a web page. I'm glad I did because this story struck the perfect note for an October evening. It's a shorter work, but just the right length for a story about a former mean-girl coming face to face with her own personal horror--the boy she tormented as a young teen becoming grown-up sexy and successful. Lest you think this is all physical attraction, the author does a bang-up job at giving these two horror-lovers real common ground and uses the limited space in the story to make this burgeoning relationship believable. Even though the story was short, I felt like the characters were well-rounded, easy to love, and off to a very positive, believable start to a relationship. It wasn't saccharine-sweet, and there were some very clever moments that will have anyone with an appreciation for haunted houses grinning.

If you like Halloween-themed light contemporary romance with well-rounded characters, this one's right up your alley!

Really great start. Second chances and big risks don't always pan out, but there's a whole lot of hope and haunting here.

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2017

We all deserve second chances. Sometimes we make mistakes, big ones, and we can't move beyond those. Nora is trying, though, but she can't seem to find that last piece of redemption. She's not seeking it but knows that she deeply regrets making other kids' lives miserable. Her upbringing certainly wasn't gummy bears and roses, and there's no excuse for her treatment of others, but having seen firsthand what actions like hers feels like, she sets out to become a better person. What happens, though, when you run into those you tormented?

Brendan grew up and grew up nicely too. So when Nora realizes that the boy she terrorized is the hot guy she's supposed to scare into giving a favorable haunted house review and he doesn't recognize her, she's got a golden opportunity to steer clear of her own ugly past. By omitting the reality of who she is Brendan gets to see a side of her he never would have before. Nora's guilt over this deception, however, isn't enough to come clean. Why do that when you know you'll be utterly despised and all the tender feelings you're growing will be crushed? That choice is taken from her with one encounter and the fallout is big and messy.

The way that they find one another and move beyond their connected past is both painful and sweet. I'm excited to see where they go in book 2.

This one is cute.

The MC is a ghoul that was a major witch and is now becoming a better human.
The lobe interest is someone from her past.

And the plot os centered around Halloween and a haunted house.

Satisfies the itch for a not scary Halloween read

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

What an enjoyable, super quick read for the Halloween season! I used to love going to haunted houses & dressing up for Halloween. I still have my witch costume that's big enough to hide 8-1/2 months of pregnancy. I had a Friday the 13th party for my boys on their 11/13 birthday, complete with a spooky fortune teller & a bazillion candles (and almost burned down the house). This book brought me back to those memories - including my bride of Dracula get-up. It was a little bit of all of that plus romance & even character growth. Not 5 stars because it wasn't epic or life changing or one I might even remember in time to come. But it was the perfect book for the season & for the moment, satisfying and real. And no worries about nightmares.

Can a mean girl become a nice girl? Can the bullied forgive and forget?

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love zombies, vampires and witches are ok and even though this book has none of those I still loved it. Nora was once a bully and tormented Brendan, once a geek but now a really hot, buff, geek. There is no excuse for bullying but the author gives us a view into why Nora acted like she did and is very sorry for being so mean. She is working in a haunted house, very good at being scary, also a theater major. Of course there is romance and angst but what's a good book without these things. They have much in common including hard lives as young people and horror movies. Give this book a try. I will be reading book 2 in this series.

Do leopards really change their spots when they mature? ?

Reviewed in Australia on July 16, 2017

Okay, we all have our horror stories of school and those times which we were gawky and immature, but I believe those that were hounded by bullies, werepossibly those that were scared for life.
This book looks at the interaction of the bully (Nora) and her victim (Brendan ) when they are caught in a bazaar twist of fate, which does not disclose Nora's identity, until they get to know each other, through texted messages and insane scary costume haunted house scenes.
As Nora realizes, her whole self had shifted through a number of remakes, to who she was now. She , herself, could look at herself at 13 and cringe at the hurt and sarcasm she had spewed back then.
The thing is, could those she had tormented forgive her??
This is another different again sort of story, from this writer, although her quirky subject matter is fantastic, and enlightening to the reader.

Not just for Halloween

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2016

Nora has spent years reworking herself from bitch to nice girl but as experience tells her, it doesn’t always work. When she meets horror geek, who is also a victim of her previous self, she goes deeper into character. She has to scare him but she must not let him see who she is under the costume.
This book surprised me. It was funny, sweet, honest, and it definitely had a moral to the story. I enjoyed Nora’s character because she made me laugh with her antics but when the serious side emerged, I found myself hoping that she could fix the situation; I cared.
The book is short and sweet but is packed full of fun and emotion. It was well written and paced perfectly. You can read it at any time of the year but it will leave you wishing it was Halloween.
