A Sister for Halloween: A Spicy & Spooky Novelette
Halloween used to be Finley’s favorite holiday, but girls seem to go missing during this sleepy time of year in Vermont.
After the death of his sister, Sebastian has found a way to cope, but the town thinks he’s a suspect.
When Finley is invited to a haunted corn maze, she’s met with her crush.
Fear becomes excitement, and things take a salaciously twisted turn. Finley isn’t sure if she should be terrified or turned on by a suspected killer.
And Baz? He’s the kind of man who likes it when you scream.

Finely’s favourite holiday, Halloween, hasn’t been the same since girls have been disappearing every year on that exact date. But when Finley is invited to a haunted corn maze, she decides to go, hoping to finally enjoy her favourite day again. That’s where she meets Sebastian, her longtime crush. Baz is a quiet, lonely man with a dark aura that follows him everywhere... And some people think he might be connected to the disappearances.
A Sister for Halloween by Savvy Rose (ARC) is a book that had me asking myself, "WAIT, WHAT THE F*CK?!". This short story between Baz and Finley is twisted, spicy (like really, really spicy🥵), creepy, different, and full of trauma, and it kept me flipping pages like my life depended on it.
This was my first impression of Savvy Rose, and I just — WOW. I jumped into this book blindly and ended up second-guessing my own sanity while in the depths of a dark story that mixes suspense, spice, and psychological terror.
About the things I like/I don't like? Well, I liked ✨everything✨: very troubled and complex characters, a disturbing plot, a short but intense novelette... I'm pretty sure the only thing I didn't like was how I started doubting my feelings about Baz because, at some point, my morals were gone.
Dipping into the writing✍🏻, —again— I just don't have anything bad to say! The book was immersive, straight to the point, with no filler. The pacing? Nice and fast, perfect for a short read in this exact season🍁. The ending🤯? It made me feel good and bad at the same time, making me sit there for a minute to process what I'd just read and question myself.
If you're looking for a short book but with a deep plot, very dark and smutty, and perfect for spooky season, A Sister for Halloween is the book. I recommend reading it alone or with a friend, and —please— light a pumpkin candle🎃 (you'll thank me later😉)!
📌As always, check the trigger warnings before you read it!

Dark Romance quick read to start the season
This was an interesting dark romance novelette. I actually enjoyed it, though when I started I wasn’t sure where it was going. I wanted to see a spooky seasonal book and this definitely worked, though it wasn’t so much spooky as a dark romance with a lot of spice, which is a main part of the story, but aligns with the storyline. You actually get all the story making sense by the end. The writing is really well done and weaves a web you are trying to figure out and it all comes together by the end, though not as obvious as you would think. Both the FMC and MMC are complicated - I think the MMC seems a lot more complicated than the FMC, so much so that you want a HEA for him.
It’s a quick read- (I was able to read in a day) and it did have the Halloween setting so overall I liked the novelette. Since it is a novelette you don’t get all the details you would get from a full story, but that’s expected.

A dark, provocative Halloween thriller that blends small-town mystery with forbidden attraction. As fear, desire, and suspicion collide, the story keeps readers on edge, exploring grief, obsession, and the dangerous pull of the unknown. Unsettling, fast-paced, and unapologetically twisted, this is a bold read for fans of dark romance and psychological suspense.
