Publisher's summary

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year. The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

Private investigator Wyatt West finds his job a little tedious most days, but that changes when he meets a bewitching blonde florist who needs a favor in the way of a wedding date. There's definitely something magical about her, but little does he know just how correct that first impression is.

Single mom Marigold Williams finds herself instantly attracted to Wyatt but doesn't dare tell this handsome human that she's a witch and things in Nocturne Falls are a little spookier than he suspects. He’s just a nice guy who’s offered to be her plus one. She doesn’t need to turn his world upside down with the truth over one date.

Despite that agreement, their feelings deepen, and both agree to try a relationship beyond their current temporary arrangement. Now Marigold must tell him about her witchy side. After all, he has a right to know whom he’s dating.

But when Wyatt unwittingly frees some dangerous magic, Marigold knows a life-changing sacrifice is the only way to set things right. Will her magic save him? And will he be able to handle the truth that comes with it?

Tired of listening to stories about humans? Consider the werewolf! Taking various forms over the course of centuries and mythologies, often as flesh-devourers, werewolves now commonly appear in fantasy and romance novels as shape-shifters. The shape-shifting element in werewolves' stories has almost humanized them, depicting the internal struggles we all face within ourselves, on some level or another.

Round 10

Loved It! This one had really good pacing, and I love the romance. I liked the last book but it was far too repetitive. This one was a much better layout and execution! I can't wait for the next!

I continue to love these books

I was hooked on the series from book 1. And I have continued to read every other book after that. Every book is great and they do not disappoint. some of us may have differing opinions on how the characters are voiced or how they are portrayed but there is no denying that these books are amazing and very very entertaining.

Perfect!!!

I love this series, and although I take some time away from the books, I always come back to see what's new and immerse yourself again in this enchanted little town....
I loved this book, and I think the narrative by B.J. Harrison helps create the perfect mood for the story. I can't imagine these books read by another narrator. Of course, Audible has excellent professionals, but BJ Harrison is the official narrator for this series.
I only have praise for this book. He's fun, romantic, mysterious, everything an engaging story needs to have.

Another great installment

Kristen Painter has crafted another great installment in the Nocturne Falls series. As always her characters continue to grow. B.J. Harrison gives a wonderful performance as he brings it all to life.
