Trick Or Treat by Ariel Dawn, A.J. Mullican
4.0

The premise of Trick or Treat is absurdly fun. I mean the main character turns into a pumpkin during the day and back into a man at night and he only has a few days to find his mate or he’s a gourd forever. It’s quirky and weird and humorous. (I mean his … ya know … smells and tastes like pumpkin spice, for goodness sake.)

There are a couple of problematic moments – from homophobia & slurs to questionable spicy moments – but it’s a novella with a plotline that kinda necessitates an insta-love thing and once they give in to their connection things heat up pretty quickly. I like them together and I feel like they are a good match. I also found the resolution to be entertaining.

You pretty much have to throw any believability out the window with a story like this but that’s ok. It’s meant to be fun and weird and steamy and … well, fun.

(I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.)
