Publisher's summary

When he’s obsessed with the new girl in town…so his twin gifts her to him for Halloween

Sally

From the moment I walked away from my old life and started a new one in the small town of Shadowvale, I learned there were three rules I should follow if I wanted to survive—One: don’t go outside at night alone.

Two: don’t ask questions about the obviously haunted house at the far side of town.

And three: don’t catch Hunter Reed’s attention.

Me? I broke all three almost immediately.

The Reeds own Shadowvale. They live in the haunted house, and everyone seems afraid of them. Everyone, that is, except for me.

Something about Hunter has me drawn to him like a moth to a flame. I know I could burn if I get too close, but that doesn’t stop me… and when he invites me to his house for Halloween, I would’ve gone even if he didn’t offer two grand for a night with me.

I guess I should’ve known that nothing is free—and the only way I can escape him is if I find my way out of his family graveyard by midnight.

But… what if I don’t want to?

Hunter

It was her big doe eyes that caught my attention, and the haunted smile that triggered my predatory side.

Sally… my sweet Sally.

I’ve watched her from the shadows, keeping her safe from a distance. I’m too dark, too twisted to corrupt her… but, as it turns out, my twin isn’t.

Our birthday is Halloween. Tonight, I expected to hunt—to kill—but when Nicholas sets Sally in my path, midnight starts the beginning of my chase.

If I catch her, I can do anything I want. She agreed to it, and as the hours pass, it becomes clear to me that she isn’t trying all that hard to get away.

Which is for the best since I have no intention of ever letting my little doe escape me now…

It had potential; male narrator was terrible

The male narrator's voice was so awful, I almost couldn't finish this short story. His attempt to sound "dark and menacing" was ridiculous. The femal narrator was fabulous, though. There was plenty of spice, and it was dark (which is fine), but there wasn't a whole lot of substance to the plot. I actually think that if it had been a full-length novel, with more character development and more elaboration, it could have been a great book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
