(I always seem to read my #DoubleSpin book first.)

I think Parrish wrote with more depth when she was Indie, but this is a sweet, mostly cozy read and the “rivalry“ is very friendly. (There is some darker backstory.) I enjoyed a character who's a real chickenshit about spooky things, since I am myself.

Excellent choice for the #Scarathlon word search, btw. 193 words! And easily covered my 10 chapters for #20in4. 😁

I loved Bram & Zachary & the decorating contest. I would have liked a little more emphasis on the #Halloween prank war in the story line. This wasn‘t quite as strong a story as last year‘s Christmas story but it was still solid. 🎃🎃🎃🎃 #scarathlon #teammonstermash #harlequin

This was a fun Halloween romance. Bram and Zachary get off on the wrong foot when Bram moves into the neighborhood and threatens Zachary's chance of winning the annual Halloween decorating competition that means so much to him. But their prank war turns into something more and they're both left contemplating their pasts to figure out a future together

Loved being back in Garnet Run and seeing some past characters. Adored Bram! Such a sweetie! Struggled with Zach and wanted to change and develop more.

Roan Parrish is so, so good at taking characters who‘re a little out of sync with the world‘s expectations and pairing them up with people who understand all the ways their differences make them wonderful. She does that here via a prank war in the lead-up to an elaborate Halloween decorating contest that gives both characters a chance to fully inhabit themselves. It‘s emotional, it‘s fun, and it‘s packed with fall feeling for them what wants it.

Pain day reading. I‘m hoping to finish this Halloween-themed prank war romance, make some progress with the 19th century intersex memoir I‘m chipping away at, and read a couple of short stories, all while tucked up in bed.

Eggbeater I have chronic pain, too. I sympathize. I hope it gets better soon. 2y
xicanti @Eggbeater thanks. I hope today‘ll be the only really bad day, but I‘m prepared to take it easy for the next little bit. 2y
Kimberlone Enjoy your reading and I hope it brings you some relief! 2y

dylanisreading I didn't know there were more books in the Garnet Falls series. Yesterday was a pain day for me. I hope yours passes quickly and you enjoy the reading. ❤️ 2y
xicanti @dylanisreading I read the first one right before it was released. Now that I‘ve read the fourth one, I‘ll have to go back and catch up on the middle two! 2y
