The Haunted Honeymoon Suite

by Bella Summers

💀✨ A haunted suite. A fake honeymoon. One inconveniently perfect stranger. ✨💀

Mara checked into Thornapple House to avoid a meltdown—not a man.

Her ex is proposing tonight, and Mara would rather spend the evening drinking hotel tea and pretending her life isn’t on fire. But when a storm, a plumbing fiasco, and one overenthusiastic front-desk witch conspire against her, Mara ends up in the Honeymoon Suite… with a dark-eyed stranger who smells like rain and trouble.

Theo Hawthorne is supposed to be off-duty—escaping six months of backbreaking work and even more emotional baggage. The last thing he needs is to share a bed (and a mirror) with a snarky woman who looks like she’s holding a thousand unsaid things behind her eyes.

But the suite has rules. Romantic ones.

Thanks to a “Honeymoon Challenge” and a cursed mirror that allegedly rewards real couples, the reluctant roommates must survive a list of steamy photo prompts, a guided ghost tour, and one very intimate fireplace. The more they pretend for the camera, the more the lines blur between fake and something dangerously real.

As the storm rages outside, the room seems to close in, demanding they drop their guard. Secrets unravel. Hearts warm. And somewhere between soft lighting, haunted mirrors, and a slow-burn kiss that changes everything, Mara and Theo have to is this just a fling born of bad timing—or a love story written in the walls?

💋 The Haunted Honeymoon Suite is a steamy, slow-burn, one-bed romance filled with sharp banter, aching vulnerability, and the kind of intimacy that sneaks up on you. Perfect for fans

Forced proximity that delivers on the tension

Banter that bites and heals

Haunted inns with affectionately meddling ghosts

And characters who earn every inch of their happy ending

The cover and book description were intriguing, but the story inside wasn’t. I know it’s a slow burn, but I felt no chemistry between the characters. At times, I was bored or confused. Honestly, the only thing I liked was the author’s note.

I want to thank BookSirens and Bella Summers for the eARC. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

[Melissa · Rating 1 out of 5]

I’m so sorry to the author, Bella, and BookSirens (who I received this ARC through) but this book is not for me.

I’m so deeply disappointed in the content, as I was really looking forward to reading this from the blurb. The author’s note at the start was very earnest and well written, though lengthy and a bit over the top for me.

I began this book excited and interested, however by chapter 5 I was bored of the repetitive nature of the writing and the weird back and forth I was seeing (for example, at the end of chapter 3 they go to sit on the loveseat but are back to standing and kissing at the start of chapter 4?).

I think with a lot of editing and focus this book could be great, fantastic even. The premise is unique and interesting, unfortunately the execution was lacking and the story ended up getting lost for me.

[Bronte Detenbeck · Rating 3 out of 5]

After reading the Author’s Note, I had so much hope for this book! It was so sweet, excited, and passionate about this story, and I wish I could match that emotion.

I found the entire plot extremely confusing. For an easy-to-read romance, I can’t say I actually understood what was going on most of the time. It felt like every time the plot developed, the mirror was “doing stuff” again. Then we were in hallways, not in hallways, and back in the suite still being perplexed by emotions.

I also felt the build-up that was supposed to happen flatlined quite a bit. The intimacy happened quickly, and it felt weird for two strangers to jump into it so fast. The one bed trope is much tastier after some development between the two.

Overall, I loved the vision of the novel, but it did fall short for me.

[Shanun Renshaw · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received this arc from book sirens. Heavily repetitive and story line was just ok. The whole mirror concept got confusing and had to dnf at 50%.

[Jessica Washington · Rating 2 out of 5]

I feel really bad, because I wanted to love this book. The cover is so cute and it sounded like an adorable holiday read.

I felt very confused for a lot of the book. Things were just happening all of the sudden with no explanation as to why or how, and then other things were over explained. I would say it would be a good idea to flush out more of the Spooky phenomena in the book, and less of the little details. There are a lot of repetitive small details, and not enough details about the Haunted stuff that is happening. I think if you switch those, and explain the Haunted stuff more, and less of the small details, you could have a better story.

An example of what I mean, chapter "Hands" Too many details on holding hands, and to make a whole chapter of it. Less of those details, more Spooky details. I am sharing this as an example in hopes to honestly help.

Also, maybe some background on the house. I can see where that could help the story.

[Shara · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the premise of this book and it has a lot of potential. However, I struggled to get through it. The writing has so many analogies for simple things that I found myself getting lost in trying to understand each sentence and what the meaning behind the analogy was and I found it disrupted the flow of the story.

One example is the description of the house's hallway as a throat. In another instance a key is described to the point that I knew what it smelled like. The male protagonist peels off his jacket "like a sticker from a windshield" which was one of many odd ways (for me) of describing things.

The writer uses words that while I liked it the first time, it became repetitive. Such as the use of the word "domesticity" for a tender and thoughtful action by the male protagonist. I liked the creativity of the word, but I found it was used too often.

Lapses between chapters were also a bit confusing at first until I understood how the writer jumps from one chapter to the next. It has a very 2 steps forward 1 step back approach where a new chapter is set back several moments into the previous chapter, but rewritten a new way until we get to a new moment in time.

I absolutely don't mean for my review to be overly critical. As I stated above, the premise is great! I enjoyed the setting and the characters were cute. Perhaps the style of writing was not for me, but I did appreciate the steamy scenes being less graphic yet still having some spice to them.

I also enjoyed how I could picture the room and the setting of the story, the male protagonist was intriguing and I liked how he was portrayed as dark and brooding without that stereotypical "bad boy alpha male" vibes.

The female protagonist was also well done and sometimes in a romance the woman feels helpless or sometimes writers go the opposite direction. Instead she was well-balanced and felt real.

[Sara Faye · Rating 2 out of 5]

I loved the concept and was intrigued from the blurb. Two strangers share a honeymoon suite to get away from the storm. The business wants some more attention to the honeymoons suite so they provide them with social media lovey prompts and they can win another vacation. Plus the spooky haunted vibe behind it sounded like a good autumn read. The truth? This was such a struggle to get through. It was overly descriptive and confusing. It was missing a reading flow with plot holes here and there.

I really wanted to enjoy this book but I felt like it was never going to end.

[Sarah Allemon · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received this book as an ARC from Book Sirens. I love the idea of this book, but the execution was lacking. I can see the potential but the copy I was provided had a lot of repetition, over personification, and didn’t seem to follow a linear timeline. I DNF’d at 40% because I was just too confused to read any further.

I would definitely be open to revisiting the finalized copy if the repetitiveness and timeline issues are resolved.

[Jessica Chiles · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 - 3 being generous. It started strong with some banter and fun dialogue to open. Then it got strange. Dialogue was slim, the timeline jumped, characters came in from nowhere, little to no character development or backstory. I can see what it was to be but the aforementioned definitely held it back, character development and backstory being the top of that.

I did finish as it was a short read but it was very confusing.

[Loretta Baer · Rating 3 out of 5]

I hate to DNF Books, but I had to unfortunately do that to this one. It wasn’t the story itself. It was my interest in the story. It just didn’t keep me invested like I wanted it to. It was an interesting plot where the room is haunted and makes people fall in love but I just couldn’t get into it that much. I would love to read other books by this arthur. I just hope they don’t have the same effect on me.

[Kathy Butterworth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thank you Booksirens. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. It started off so strong. I unfortunately got confused after the second chapter. The premise is terrific. In my opinion, it needs to be reworked and it will be awesome. This was a free arc provided by BookSirens. Thank you again.

[Molly Gibson · Rating 2 out of 5]

This novel had so much going for it but I struggled to connect to the plot and characters, which was disappointing. At times the story felt overwritten with too much description and analogies. Many of the chapters felt too lengthy due to this and I found myself losing interest in those parts. I would definitely be open to reading other books by this author; this one just wasn’t for me.

[Natasha Durgan · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was not what I expected! I wish the plot was developed more and the story flowed smoother.

[Amy M · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am still very confused about what happened in this story. I think I liked it? The writing style is one that I've never read before so this was definitely a new experience for me. Reading this was like watching an artsy movie and realizing you aren't cultured enough to fully appreciate it. Half of the book felt like it was written in riddles, hence why I'm still confused. I have no idea who Lucien and Ava are to Mara and Theo.

Thank you to BookSirens and Bella Summers for the free eARC.

[Maddy Freitas · Rating 2 out of 5]

Once you get past the absurdity of two total strangers agreeing to share a honeymoon suite due to a storm and overbooking, this starts off as a fun, fast read. In fact, I genuinely enjoyed the first few chapters — the premise is ridiculous, but in that campy, novella way where you just go with it. Unfortunately, after that initial spark, the story became increasingly bogged down by its own writing style.

This is, without exaggeration, the most overly descriptive book I’ve ever read. It wasn’t just that the author painted vivid pictures — it’s that they painted them over and over again. Drinkware wasn’t just a glass of water, it was “sweating” or “condensing” in nearly every scene. The house wasn’t just haunted, it had sentience and smells that were described in minute, repetitive detail: wax, honey, a hint of something else… every hallway and room seemingly had its own olfactory paragraph. At first this was interesting, but by 60% in, I wanted to beg for mercy. Seriously, every 3 paragraphs described the smell of whatever over and over and over again.

The characters were another sticking point. Despite having just met, the two leads describe each other as though they’ve known each other intimately for years. Their dialogue and internal thoughts sometimes read like fever dreams, and the transitions between scenes were so abrupt I frequently had to scroll back up to understand what just happened. Page breaks, please.

That said, I did like the concept. The two strangers participate in a challenge — prompt cards like “kissing” and “holding hands” to show off the honeymoon suite — while the house itself watches and influences them. It’s voyeuristic, weird, and definitely unique. Once they cross the line from kissing to sleeping together (because why not), the house starts leaving them clues for a haunted adventure. That part? Cool.

Unfortunately, the prose kept pulling me out of the story. Lines like “The rug bites my knees”, “It sounded like a promise with its teeth still sheathed”, “The hallway is a throat”, and “a polite suggestion of orange peel” had me rolling my eyes instead of feeling immersed. The word “polite/politely” appears so often I started noticing it. The constant, oddly poetic metaphors made me feel more confused than spooked.

I appreciate that novellas jump right into the story without filler, but this one just didn’t land for me. The haunted vibes were fun and the premise creative, but the execution was frustratingly overdone. I went from thinking this was a solid 3-star Halloween read to ultimately giving it 2 stars out of sheer exasperation.

If you can ignore the florid prose and endless smell descriptions, you might still enjoy the atmosphere. But for me, this was one of the most overwritten books I’ve read in a long time.

“ The Haunted Honeymoon Suite” — soft ghosts, slower hearts, and a love that hums instead of screams

there’s something about this book that feels like rain tapping against an old window: familiar, quiet, a little lonely but in the best way. bella summers writes like she’s stirring a cup of tea that never quite cools down, and you can’t help but stay for another sip.

i’ll be honest : i had to pause this one mid-trip, and maybe that break is what made me come back gentler. sometimes a book finds you twice, once when you’re rushing, and once when you’re ready to listen.

the story itself? part haunted retreat, part slow rekindling, and all kinds of cozy. the haunted honeymoon suite isn’t here to scare you, it’s here to hold your hand in candlelight and remind you that even ghosts crave closure. the atmosphere is lush and cinematic: storms tapping the roof, soft robes, mirrors that remember too much. and the chemistry between theo and the narrator? ugh. it’s the kind that sneaks up on you mid-sentence : less fireworks, more the steady warmth of a fire that knows your name.

there were moments that made me grin like an idiot ; soft teases, the quiet “okay?” “okay.” exchanges, the way their connection felt like a conversation rather than a spectacle. it’s tender, patient, and a little intoxicating.

but, and there’s always a but — the pacing sometimes stumbled. the futility arc (you know that emotional pull-back that should simmer?) felt a bit too quick for me. i wanted to linger in that in-between space longer, feel the ache stretch. still, that didn’t ruin the magic; it just made me wish the story breathed slower, like the rain it keeps describing.

in the end, the haunted honeymoon suite feels like being wrapped in a robe still warm from someone else’s shoulders. it’s not perfect, but it’s comforting. it’s the kind of book you read when the world’s too loud and you need a quiet, pretty haunt to hide in.

rating: 3.5/5 — charming, tender, and quietly spectral.

for readers who love ghosts with manners, romance with rhythm, and the kind of intimacy that speaks softly but stays echoing long after.

Thank you book siren and the author for the Arc copy

The Haunted Honeymoon Suite

Dit boek was helaas niet helemaal voor mij. Ik kwam er moeilijk in en halverwege het verhaal betrapte ik mij zelf erop dat ik delen oversloeg omdat ik het niet helemaal meer snapte. Ik had meer willen weten over de personages hij achtergrond en hun verhaal erna. Het leek voor mij alsof se personages noet goed tot hun recht kwamen in het verhaal en als een soort geesten in die kamer verbleven.

Het concept van het boek is wel erg leuk. Voor mij had het boek meer uitleg mogen hebben op het begin over de honeymoon suite en de b&b. Wellicht dat ik het verhaal dan beter begreep en leuker vond. Wellicht is dit boek wel helemaal geweldig voor een ander ik zou zeggen probeer het! Het is een orgineel verhaal heel leuk bedacht en wie weet geef jij het wel 5 sterren.

Unfortunately, this book wasn't quite for me. I had a hard time getting into it, and halfway through, I found myself skipping parts because I couldn't quite grasp it anymore. I would have liked to know more about the characters' backgrounds and their subsequent stories. It felt to me like the characters weren't fully developed in the story and were living in that room like ghosts.

The concept of the book is quite enjoyable, though. For me, the book could have had more explanation at the beginning about the honeymoon suite and the B&B. Perhaps I would have understood the story better and enjoyed it more. Perhaps this book would be perfect for someone else. I'd say give it a try! It's an original story, very well conceived, and who knows, you might even give it 5 stars.

✏️ Spoiler-Free ARC Review
This book is first starts like a holiday special of your favorite TV show. It jumps right into the story and keeps you on the edge, almost kissing, almost flirty, and very suggestive. It’s a steamy slow burn romance for sure then morphs into something that bends reality.

While it was a too much tension for me, it definitely leaned into the living, breathing intensity of the house/room as its own character. The honeymoon suite itself (and the secrets it holds) was like gentle parenting for couples, but allowed for the kind of self-discovery that comes with being nakedly honest with yourself (and maybe each other).

As for the author’s style, the writing is more elegant and fluffy than conversational, which made it hard for me to follow the plot. At times it felt like a high school paper trying to meet the word count by adding in extra filler words and similes/metaphors that convoluted what was actually going on. However, these are also what also succeeded in giving the first half of the novella a sexy-yet-spooky vibe where everything felt alive and the second half a mystical and blurring-the-edges-of-reality, so maybe it does its job and it’s just not my favorite writing style.

If you’re looking for a sexual-tension-filled, time/mind bendy type of slow burn romance, I’d recommend this one for you!

[Amanda · Rating 2 out of 5]

I love cozy romance books but this one I really couldn’t figure out where it was going. The story is about two strangers who end up on vacation at a haunted hotel. One lady who seems like she has a lot of baggage and a guy who seems like a workaholic. The story started off very quick and escalated even quicker which I didn’t really enjoy. I felt like the beginning and build up of the storyline was needed. It took me a handful of times of reading and going back to the book to eventually finish. It just didn’t catch my attention at the beginning and even reading it further, my attention would wander and I’d put the book down. I would not have finished this book. The whole point of the story was not clear to me and there were many points where I just felt like the information was repetitive.

Overall, the book did not catch my attention. I could not get interested in Mara or Theo. The only noticeable characteristics about this books is the way the author writes. It’s very descriptive and filled with many delightful descriptors of the events that occur within the story. Sometimes it felt overdone, but other times it gave the scene unfolding extra oomph so that you could almost imagine the scene playing out.

What did I just read?
I picked up The Haunted Halloween Suite expecting a fun, spooky seasonal read… but what I got was a confusing mess of half-baked plotlines, unrealistic characters, and cringe-worthy dialogue. Seriously, I had A LOT of trouble following along and I still don’t really understand what this book was about.
The pacing is erratic — dragging through irrelevant scenes and then rushing through moments that should’ve been the climax. And there were several times when things were repeated at different times throughout the story. I couldn’t figure out if the repetitions were intentional, or if they were editing errors….it was just weird. The “twist” at the end felt like it was thrown in just for shock value, with zero buildup or logic and again, I didn’t really understand it. And don’t get me started on the characters — not a single one felt real or relatable. I couldn't tell if they were meant to be serious or satirical, and either way, they fell completely flat.
I always try to find at least one redeeming quality in a book, but the only positive I can come up with in this case is the fact that this is a novella (only 147 pages). Definitely not the Halloween treat I was hoping for — more like a trick.
I am usually accused of overrating books and handing out stars too easily, but sadly this one definitely only earned 1 star from me. I NEVER DNF books, but I wish I had DNF’d this one. Would not recommend.
Thank you to Book Sirens for providing me with an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for my honest opinion about this book.

Firstly, thank you BookSirens and the author for my ARC copy of this book.

I REALLY wanted to love this book, I gave it multiple goes because I really wanted to love it but, unfortunately I DNF'd it at 53%.

The premise of The Haunted Honeymoon Suite is fantastic and if I could give that it's own star rating it would easily be a four star however, the execution of the idea was in my opinion slightly lacking. I found it overly descriptive with a lot of flowery words and descriptions of descriptions (If that makes any sense at all) which resulted in a lot of repetition. I also found there to be a lot of explanations that were really not needed.

The plot jumped around a little to much for my liking, making it difficult for me to understand how the characters got to certain points in the story. At one stage I even thought that this book was part of a series and I went on the hunt to find the book(s) prior to it.

I am definitely keen to read the final release of this book, or at least attempt to read it being that this is the authors debut book and I have a lot of hope for any books that she releases in the future.

"The Haunted Honeymoon Suite" is a cozy mix of romance, humor, and just the right amount of spooky fun. The story follows two individuals (unknown to each other) who check into a hotel, only to find that they have to share a room- and a honeymoon suite at that. They then discover that their suite might be shared with a few ghostly residents.

Summers does a great job balancing the lighthearted and eerie moments, creating a cozy yet mysterious atmosphere. The chemistry between the main characters feels natural and engaging, and their banter brings warmth and laughter even amid the haunting. The supernatural elements are playful rather than terrifying, making this a perfect read for anyone who enjoys a sweet romance with a paranormal twist.

While the pacing drags slightly in the middle, the charm of the characters and the whimsical setting more than make up for it. Overall, *The Haunted Honeymoon Suite* is an entertaining, feel-good story with a dash of ghostly mischief—a lovely escape for fans of romantic comedies with a supernatural spark.

"The Haunted Honeymoon Suite" by Bella Summers is a cosy mystery and paranormal romance that features some spooky moments set in the charmingly eerie Thornapple House.

This book is a pleasant and easy read. Nice and sweet yet somewhat confusing at times. I struggled to understand certain parts of the story. The romance between the main characters seems to jump ahead too quickly without sufficient development.

The narrative is filled with atmospheric descriptions of the inn's haunting ambience, delving into the emotional complexities of the characters and the warmth they find in each other amid a cold and stormy setting.

Mara, trying to escape the reality of her ex's proposal, checks into Thornapple House to wallow in self-pity. However, when a storm hits, she finds herself in the Honeymoon Suite with Theo, who just wanted a break from his routine and isn't thrilled about sharing a bed with a stranger. As the story unfolds, things take a dangerous turn, and a guided ghost tour is just the beginning of their adventure.

Cute Halloween read—three pumpkins from me.

[Angelica · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this story, it was different than I expected for sure! Not your usual strangers to lovers, close proximity (shared room, one bed) romance trope. The connection between the two main characters, Mara and Theo was strong. The haunted honeymoon suite, apparently, had brought couples together in the past and forced feelings to be revealed. Mara and Theo were no exception. While they were strangers, a series of challenges allowed their connection to grow. Mara, particularly, went through a transformation, a woman coping with her ex proposing to his new girlfriend, and her figuring out her feelings with another acquaintance. In the end, Mara follows her heart.

While the story was enjoyable, there were parts (the appearance of the other acquaintance for one) that seemed unnecessary. Also, her struggle with her ex proposing to another was mentioned, but then was forgotten as soon as she got to the hotel, which seemed abrupt.

Bella Summers brings something fresh to the paranormal romance world with The Haunted Honeymoon Suite. The setup is irresistible — a fake honeymoon, one bed, and a haunted mirror that refuses to stay quiet. What follows is a blend of slow-burn romance and ghostly chills, filled with witty banter, aching longing, and the eerie thrill of a love story haunted by more than just feelings.

The atmosphere is rich and detailed — sometimes almost too detailed, which made the pacing feel slower in places. However, the lush descriptions also create an immersive sense of being right there in the haunted suite with the characters.

If you enjoy a romance that takes its time, layering tension page by page before delivering payoff, this one will delight you. It’s a unique mix of cozy banter, creepy moments, and heartfelt emotion — a story that proves love can survive even in the most haunted of places.

Thank you to booksiren for my ARC!

This was really deep. I felt it was a really good read just in time for spooky season! It delivered on the spooky/ creepy aspects. I do wish there was more of the spooky though but I understand why there wasn't since the main topic is romance. Romance with a sprinkle of spook. Their entire journey was crazy (in a good way).

This is a good read for those who like strangers to lovers, a little bit of haunt and paranormal, slow burn romance

I thought the author did a really good job with the slow intimate scenes And the details and descriptions of what Mara was feeling in those moments.
I wanted more. I had questions at the end that I wanted answers too. Part of this was like a riddle to me and I'm not sure I totally solved it.. I enjoyed M&T's journey though!

The book looked like it had so much promise from the description and the authors note. The cover was exceptionally cute but the story just fell short for me and I DNF’d at 44%. I was confused most of the time reading it and the timeline was confusing. In one chapter at the end they went to sit away from the mirror and at the beginning of the next they are back standing in front then go sit down again. The conversations between the two characters were also very confusing and didn’t seem fully thought out. I really tried multiple times to get through it but unfortunately I just couldn’t. From the authors note I really wanted to know how their story ends but I will never know if there arent major changes made in the book!

Being the start of September, coffee shops have started the pumpkin craze season, and Fall is right around the corner… I really wanted to start my Fall season with a quick novella. The Haunted Honeymoon Suite was a great, short book that captured my attention from the start. So many tropes that fit in well with a haunted inn that wants you to fall in love. If you want a quick but impactful read, look no further. It was the right amount of in your feels, longing, and spooky vibes to start your Halloween/Fall inspired TBR frenzy.

First off, I loved loved loved the atmosphere Bella Summers created with her book. The writing was lyrical and well done.

It didn't quite hit 5 stars for me, as I became confused when the character of Lucien was added in. I didn't quite catch properly where he came from, however it made better sense at the end of the book who he was. It's entirely possible I missed a detail when he was introduced on who he was. That being said, the concept of Ava interacting with Lucien was well done.

I look forward to reading more from this author.
