'You are my business, sunshine.' "

Hollow's Grove, the latest installment in Jacquot's Holinights series, is a novella worth dying for. 

A perfect spooky romance to add to your October TBR. 

Since Queen of Madness at the beginning of the year, I've been a huge fan of Jacquot's works. And Hollow's Grove was no exception. 

Evelyn, best friends with Ciara, and Dorian, Ciara's brother, sign up to help Ciara with her haunted house Clue themed murder mystery party. With a new few extra characters, of course. Thrown together by Ciara, Evelyn and Dorian go off and help set up the house, and realize that all they wanted was each other. 

I absolutely loved reading about them, and just their dynamics is amazing. The sexual tension, Dorian <i>knowing</i> just how long he's wanted to have her, and her realizing that? Ugh. 

And set on Halloween makes this even better.

4.5/5

Tropes // best friends brother, praise kink, Halloween
