Trick or Treat

(Short Story)

The memory of this party could haunt him forever…

Dragged along to a haunted house by his mates, Sam’s at the Halloween party from hell—the guy he fancied has turned out to be a bigot, and Sam has just outed himself to  his whole football team.

Escaping to the garden, he meets James, an enigmatic stranger with a mischievous smile, and the evening soon takes a turn for the better. The night may be chilly but the heat between Sam and James is hotter than Hades.

But James has a role to play in the evening’s ghostly entertainment, and it’s a story with a deadly ending. Unless Sam can change the script and stop history repeating itself, “till death do us part” will come sooner than he thinks.

Sexing up ghosts, fights to the death, the inappropriate use of unsuspecting trees…it has so much going for it. Plus the book has a bit of a dark, but nice, twist at the end… Overall? Highly enjoyable – Carissa, Love Bytes Reviews

This book was adorable. I loved Sam’s foul mouth and attitude. James is a complete sweetheart… And I loved the wicked twist at the end – Leigh, MMGoodBookReviews

It’s a good read if you’re into quickies (no pun intended) – Lisa, The Novel Approach
