Mini-Review: The Witch’s Halloween Hero (Nocturne Falls #4.5) by Kristen Painter

*A Nocturne Falls Short Story*
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.

When a spell goes wrong on the night of Samhain for witch Corette Williams, her only hope is the man she loves, Bartholomew Stanhill. But time is running out. As the clock ticks toward midnight on Halloween, they grow closer to the moment when magic will erase him from her mind. Can Stanhill become Corette’s Halloween hero?

I actually read this short story on 18th November 2018. Finally getting around to copying my thoughts here. 😉

What did I like about The Witch’s Halloween Hero?

 A Good Short Story That I Couldn’t Put Down.

I’m already a fan of Ms Painter’s writing style having read and loved the first book in this series – The Vampire’s Mail Order Bride.

Although I enjoyed this book, there were a few aspects that niggled. The reduced page numbers meant that situations, characters and backstories were left less developed compared to Ms Painter’s full length novels.

Having said that, I enjoyed the ups and downs of this little tale. The Witch’s Halloween Hero made me chuckle, got me all soppy at the romantic gestures and I felt the odd tear trickle down my cheek during the emotional scenes.

There is absolutely no offensive content within these pages – language, violence or sex. Therefore, I can recommend The Gargoyle Gets His Girl to lovers of charming, paranormal romance tales of any age. Especially those readers who enjoy a sprinkling of humour and a happily ever after ending.

Keep reading to find out more about this series and its author.
