About the Book

A funny paranormal holiday short story from the author of The Grim Reaper’s Lawyer.

I’m having the worst year of my life.

Mostly because I keep on dying.

After accidentally (not entirely accidentally) rage-baiting a witch at last year’s halloween fest, I was hexed with a uniquely cruel curse to find the love of my life and achieve a soul-binding climax before the next Halloween or die permanently. Unfortunately, the curse is aggressively committed to quality control. Every time I get intimate with someone who is not my soulmate, I die.

The good news? I come back to life. Sometimes for minutes. Sometimes for hours. But I wake up naked, confused, and insanely hungry.

The bad news? Dying hurts, resurrection is deeply inconvenient, and I’m running out of time.

When my latest death lands me in the county morgue, I wake up on an autopsy table and accidentally headbutt the frustrating medical examiner moments before he cuts into me.

Once he reluctantly agrees to help find a way to free me of this curse, our search leads us through magical dive bars, chaotic coven meetings, and one deeply unfortunate séance involving a goat.

Somewhere along the way, I start falling for him.

Which is rude, honestly, because I’m very busy trying not to die before Halloween.

How To Hide a Body for Halloween is a spicy and chaotic romantic holiday short story for anyone who loves: Childhood Friends to Strangers to Lovers and Grumpy/Grumpy.

Review

I loved the premise of How to Hide a Body for Halloween. It was entertaining, fun, and didn’t take itself too seriously, which I appreciated. I honestly would have loved to see the story developed into a full-length novel because there was so much potential for even more chaos and humor.

Evie was easily the highlight of the book for me. She was hilarious, and so much of her dialogue had me genuinely laughing out loud. I loved her personality and the way she approached some of the ridiculous situations she found herself in. Like, her life had an expiration date. Yes, she waited until almost the last second to hunt for the witch to reverse the spell, but I mean, I bought her hilarious explanation for why she waited.

Unfortunately, Rowan was the low point for me. I just couldn’t get behind him as a love interest. He and Evie had known each other as kids. They had even dated briefly before she moved away. However, the moment he recognized her, he started throwing around pet names and doing the absolute most. There’s no way he would still consider someone he dated in elementary school the love of his life. It was just too much, too soon. I understood they had history, but I didn’t feel that the history was enough to justify the intensity of his feelings.

Final Thoughts

How to Hide a Body for Halloween (How to NOT Get Away with Murder Book 2) was fun and entertaining, with the exception of one flaw. Rowan. I just didn’t care for him.
