Hi witches,
The veil is thin, the pumpkin spice is strong, and my Kindle is loaded with chaos. Halloween’s here and it’s the night for bad decisions, good spice, and stories that make you say “I probably need therapy, but wow.” 🕸️
If you’re in the mood for dark romance set around Halloween (no ghosts, just kink parties, blood-stained romance, and questionable morals) my updated BookTok Halloween Romance list is serving up everything from kink parties to revenge plots, cult weddings, and serial killers who take “touch her and die” way too seriously.
Some standouts that beg to be read tonight: The Dare by Harley Laroux (Halloween party dare, bully, masks, filthy games), Scream for Us by Molly Doyle (three masked men, one chaotic night, RH suspense), and Beg For It by Madison Fox (she makes a deal to spend Halloween with a masked video-game streamer who’s been obsessed with her for years).
If you survive those, the full list includes even more Halloween-set novellas that mix fear and desire in all the best ways (no vampires required).
And if you’re feeling brave enough for actual monsters and ghosts, I’ve got you covered too. 👻 The Haunted House Romance list is all eerie manors and slow-burn tension, while Horror Romance dives headfirst into the “I fell for my monster” pipeline.
You can also explore the full Halloween Books collection for even more recommendations, it’s all there waiting for you.
So grab your candy, light a candle, and get ready to fall for someone you absolutely shouldn’t. It’s Halloween and the rules don’t apply tonight.
Stay spooky,
Francesca
