The next spellbinding installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series .
A demon soldier of fortune . . .Rök Kours dives into a dangerous job, only to cross swords with the one woman who bewitched him.
A Wiccan mercenary . . .Poppy Dyer has never let her uncontrollable magic interfere with her work, but she can barely withstand one demon's charms.
Trapped in a terrifying lair.If the two rivals can defeat Halloween's worst nightmares to escape a haunted castle, can they overcome their pasts to claim a future together?


The Witch Queen of Halloween is a fast-paced, spooky, adventurous, gothic Immortal After Dark novella that will definitely have you craving more of this series after you finish it. I only wish it was longer so I could explore even more of this horror-filled, haunted castle that the characters were forced to explore to break a curse. 

I know every time I pick up a book from this series, I want more, and this is why this series has always been one of my favorites from Kresley Cole. It’s also the one series I will always reread and find myself reading because they are comfort reads to me, and I love them so much. Yes, even a spooky novella like this one I will find myself rereading, even if some of the creatures Kresley mentioned may end up giving me nightmares. It’s worth it, though, because Kresley always writes courageous, kickbutt heroines, like Poppy, who is a witch who can handle herself, but then she has to deal with an alpha, sexy demon like Rok, who is determined to protect her. 

Poppy was a new character in the series and she definitely was one that I will never forget, especially with what was revealed in this book about her. Rok was a character I already knew from previous books, and I would love his character. Have you read Kresley Cole’s other demon MMC books? They are dirty-talking, sexy demons with horns. Rok is definitely one of those demons. 

I loved all the Easter eggs that Kresley Cole had along the way, especially when it came to learning about some favorite characters, as well as hints of what is to come in future novels. This was another great addition to the series, and I can’t wait to see what Kresley Cole has in store next. I will continue to say it: Kresley Cole is the Queen of Paranormal Romance.

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
