Saint Paul Sinners #2
Your Masked Haunting
Mona Greer has hit an all time low when a spell of bad luck leaves her jobless and living out of her car with no person or place to call home. But things start looking up when she gets a shot to turn her passion for makeup into a career, even if it’s in the form of face painting bratty kids at a haunted house.
Casper Ridley, power forward for the Saint Paul Sinners, is obsessed with all things spooky, so when he gets the chance to acquire an infamous haunted house, he jumps at the opportunity. What he doesn’t expect is that his new real estate comes with a gorgeous, scaredy-cat, smart-mouthed squatter.
Mona becomes suspicious that the place may actually be haunted, but she soon learns it’s not ghosts answering her cries, but the tall masked man who lingers in the shadows. Terrified, she considers turning him in, but after handmade cards show up, her car magically gets fixed, and he appears whenever she needs help, she realizes he’ll stop at nothing to earn her trust.
It’s not long before Mona and Casper are completely entranced in their game of cat and mouse, exploring their twisted connection with abandon. But Casper isn’t the only one tracking Mona’s every move, nor the only one willing to do whatever it takes to claim her.
Will Mona finally find a home in a creepy haunted house with a masked man who never planned on letting her leave?

“Am I haunting you like you’re haunting me?”
Pru Schuyler strikes again in the dark romcom world! I ATE THIS BOOK UP. Seriously, Casper? Perfectly unhinged and hopelessly head over skates obsessed with his ‘Scaredy Cat’!
“You feel like heaven, bound in the filthiest sin,”
This man was tall, BLONDE and totally swoon worthy, even in all his questionable ways. 😂
Mona was a my favorite type of FMC, a black cat! She strikes first and asks questions later. The world and people in general let her down so many times so she does not trust easy. I loved getting to see her slowly open up to her masked man & others. Mona and Casper just connect on such a deep level.
“Nothing compares to the things we do together. I mean it, Mona. Hockey is better with you. Life is better with you. Everything is better with you.”
Casper’s family? LITERAL ANGELS. I’m so happy Mona finally got all the love and support she needed.
“You’re my home, Cas.”
The spice in this book is my favorite kind; wildly hot and deliciously unexpected. I did not know that my soul needed a primal chase scene where a hot masked pro hockey player stalks her through a haunted house, but it definitely did! Omg, the author knows how to write spice! These two were feral for each other and she didn’t even know who he truly was.
“Go ahead and scream, baby. Let them think this place is really haunted.”
The best part of this story is the mysterious backstory of the house. It was spooky and I was on the edge of my seat. I honestly was HOOKED! I need Pru to write more romantic suspense plot lines because she did a great job!
“You’re not changing yourself to fit into my world, Mona. I’ll change the world to fit to you.”
Our band of misfit hockey players grew in this book by two and I LOVED their antics! Remember y’all, “NO ONE TALKS ABOUT CRAFT CLUB!”
“Take whatever you want from me. Use me, please … because I want you to. I’m choosing you.”
I need anyone to read this dark romcom asap!

I have been waiting on this book since it was announced! And let me tell you- IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! Casper and his friends are at it again, Craft Club- IYKYK - lol he falls for a beautiful, sassy, bratty Mona. And she wants No Parts! lol and she expresses to him repeatedly. It’s epic !
Little does she know, while living in a haunted mansion, he’s her Masked Haunting, purple mask and All ! And it gives you EVERYTHING, suspense, spice, banter and all the adorable moments he shows up for her time and time again. It was epically delicious, as we also get sneak peaks into Bates, Kol and some new friends.
This book was all parts haunting- and delicious !

Thanks to Pru Schuyler and House of Hearts for the gifted copy — all opinions are my own.
So I was so happy to receive this copy, because I had the opportunity with the first to discover a beautiful series as this. Your masked haunting from the first page had the capacity to caputure me and let me in it's rabbit hole..
I loved so much Casper as a male character and Mona as a female character. The chemistry, the intensity were so enduring and captivating that at one point I was so deep in reading that I was surprised that the book was so near to an end.
I loved so much the dynamics and the setting: Halloween, autumn vibes are my favorite so the hauting house as a setting was so PERFECT.
Also the little thing that happens was so intentening and honestly I didn't expect it.
So guys I am posting this review today, realease date, so you know what you have to do! Read this book for your entertainment and let me know ahaha
Also I am so curious for the next book👀

Review of advance copy received from Author
“oh, come on, scaredy-cat. you can take more than that.”
when i say i need casper biblically…i mean i need him biblically. listen, there is a very short list of blonde mmc’s that i will defend, and casper has made his way onto said list.
casper and mona’s first meeting started off a bit rocky, and i was definitely a little apprehensive about mona at the start, but i ended up so in love with her by the end. the way these two characters were so different from each other is what drew me to them the most. they met each other line for line every time, and their banter and chemistry had me on my knees, i swear.
casper was down horrendously for mona from the beginning, and he kept that energy consistently throughout the book, and i fell even harder for him with every page i read. one of my favourite things about him was the fact that he loved mona exactly the way she was and refused to let her change for anyone, even his own family. and i mean, his attention to detail is impeccable, the way he paid attention to her? i was melting. mona, like i said, it took me a bit to warm up to her, but i was truly obsessed with her by the end of the book. she’s gorgeous, smart, independent, and made a lonesome spider living in her walls her pet— she’s iconic. her past and her trauma are important to her character arc and certain things in the book, which i was glad to see was explored a little bit.
from the handmade cards to the texts to the camera stalking, i was so freaking hooked by this one. i’m literally shaking in excitement for the next one!
thank you so much to the author and house of hearts for the e-arc! ❤︎

Review of advance copy
Book 2 of the series welcomes us back to the Saint Paul Sinners with the perfect read as Halloween season approaches!
Casper falls for Mona with a flash of a hair flip and a sassy attitude telling him to back off. Mona doesn’t care for blondes, but masked men with purple eyes? Sign her up! But what if it’s the same person?!
Casper is the definition of obsessed and unhinged when it comes to Mona. He is the kind of darkness you can’t help but follow. I loved how he slowly upped his stalking game until he snapped at someone hugging her. There was no going back and he brought the HEAT in this book.
Mona had a tough childhood and leans into her loner lifestyle. When evicted, she finds a job at the town’s haunted attraction - which just happens to be the uninhabited house purchased by Casper - so free room and board is an added bonus…as long as no one finds out. When the purple eyes light up the night, she gives into the urges and plays the game of her darkest desires.
These two are HOT together. That’s all there is to it. Before the mask comes off, he is the best stalker - writes the best poems, sends food, drinks, and cute little cages for the spider she loves so much. The mysterious was great but when he loses the mask, I was giddy over the way the ramped things up!
The Sinners Craft Club did not let us down in this book. This crew of guys had me cracking up with their jokes, banter and devotion to cause - get Casper his girl. I need more of them!
I really enjoyed this book! I do wish we got more background to the “bumps in the nights” she experienced and more of the why behind it all.

Your Masked Haunting was such a fun ride! I read Your Masked Valentine earlier this year and definitely enjoyed it. It had all the things I like about a stalker rom-com, but this one was even better.
Casper and Mona were such a great duo and worked so well together. Casper had it down bad, while Mona was more than happy to go along for the ride once she embraced what was happening between them. Mona was also such a refreshing FMC. She had her own trauma and issues, but they never completely defined her character. She was strong and independent without being written as someone who refused help just to prove she could do everything herself. I loved that she could accept Casper helping her while still remaining completely her own person.
It was also really nice watching both of them grow throughout the book. Casper was incredibly considerate of what Mona had been through, which made their relationship work for me even with all the stalking and possessive craziness surrounding it.
I had such an enjoyable time reading this. It was fun, quirky, spicy and had exactly the kind of energy I want from this series. I really hope Pru keeps this same energy going forward because this was easily my favourite of the two so far.

My ARC review
I absolutely LOVED this book! 🖤🎃 Casper and Mona were everything, and I had so much fun watching their relationship unfold.
The interactions between them were SO good, especially the face-painting scene when Casper got something completely different from what he asked for. I was laughing so hard. 😂 And their texts??? “Spooky Boy” and “Scaredy-Cat” had me OBSESSED.
Casper was absolutely unhinged, but I loved every second of it. The way he became instantly fascinated with Mona and started following her around was honestly hilarious. And once Mona figured out who was behind the mask, their back-and-forth became even better. These two are seriously dark soulmates. 🖤
I loved the whole spooky atmosphere too. The Halloween setting, haunted house, masks, and creepy vibes were PERFECT. 👻🎃
Mona and Casper may seem like complete opposites, but they fit together so beautifully. I loved watching Mona slowly let Casper in, while he showed her nothing but care, protection, and devotion.
And honestly, if my man isn’t part of the Sinners Craft Club, I don’t want him. 😭 This was such a fun, haunting read, and I already miss these two!

Review of advance copy
3.75 rounded up.
I fear Chapter 3 annoyed me, and I couldn't get over it. But the overall book was good: the setting and plot, the spice and chemistry...ate it up!
Casper...this man was just hot. He made me like blondes. His feral happy vibe, paired up with his stalking and his possessiveness, had me in love. He saw her and did whatever it took to get her. He respected her identity and feistiness, but still had that dom vibe I love. I truly think he carried the book.
Now, Mona...like I said, Chapter 3 was our first introduction to Mona's mind, and I was so annoyed with her. She changed and turned into a likeable girl; her bratty vibe and playful moments would have charmed me, but maybe it was my period or something. That first pov moment still haunted me.
I loved the introduction to more unhinged hockey boys; it gives me hope for more books, but I still need Kol to be next...that hulk of a man...I need him bad.
Also, buddy reading with Han made me enjoy this a lot more. I hope we get to do it for the rest of the books.

I absolutely love this book! It is amazing. I love the moments when Casper and Mona interact with each other when Casper was not wearing a mask. Mona was definitely giving hate to love vibes with Casper. When Casper was sitting while Mona did face painting on him and let's just say it was not what he asked for. I laughed so hard. You know when I was not laughing, when Casper and Mona were with each other when he was wearing his mask.
"Sinners Craft Club, where unsuspecting hockey players become stalkers to the girls who capture their hearts. It's romantic."
The texts between then are gold. The nicknames "Spooky Boy and Scaredy-Cat". If my guy is not part of the Sinners Craft Club, then, I don't want him. This is one haunted house that I would not mind inhabiting and being visited by my own masked man. This book is a haunting, good time! Must read.

Casper was crazy and wild character in this but I absolutely loved it. When he saw Mona came with the haunted house he bought, he was immediately taken by her. The way he stalked her was hilarious. I loved the Halloween, the haunted house and spooky. And of course Casper and Mona. These two were awesome together once she figured out who was watching her. Loved the back and forth between them.

4.5 stars
I'm loving this series by Pru Schuyler! The characters are so much fun and I love the suspense/ darker elements added in.
Casper definitely didn't let me down when it came to the lengths he would go to keep Mona, and I couldn't get enough of Mona turning him down at first. After their first meeting I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
These two were matched so well! Mona had the perfect black cat energy without being too over the top, and I loved seeing that against Casper the golden retriever with a dark edge.
My favorite part of the story was the haunted house, masked man elements. There were totally times I was getting goosebumps with the way Pru was describing what was happening!
I can't wait to see what comes next in the series!

✨THE BOYS ARE BACK BABY✨
Pru. Miss. Ma’am. We need to talk. How dare you make me fall head over heels for a damn BLONDE MMC. And secondly how could you write a MMC who took Bates out of the top spot!? Because good lord THIS MAN I’m obsessed and I will be screaming about him for the foreseeable future.
I absolutely devoured Mona and Casper. I couldn’t put these two down, ask the 3 loads of laundry that are judging me right now. These two had everything! All the spooky vibes, stalker romcom, a masked man and the very best spicy scenes! Yes. I said what i said.
Ok so let me set the scene. Casper plays hockey for the Saint Paul Sinners and just bought a house that might be haunted. So of course he turns it into a spooky haunted house filled with all the fall things. Mona is down on her luck and is jobless and homeless and needs a place to crash that isn’t her car. So Mona starts working for the haunted house and finds a secret room to lay low in. But when Casper sees her for the very first time he has already claimed her and his.
Casper. What a good boy you are. I absolutely did not see me falling for the blonde boy who wears a purple emoji mask and takes care of the girl squatting in his new spooky house. 😈 But man oh man i understand why Mona fell oh so hard because girl same.
Mona. Our black cat brave girl. I loved Mona and her little brat attitude, she made me giggle so dang much! Watching her hate the blonde rich boy who just happens to be the boy under the mask was oh so perfect for these two. And her love for Penelope was so dang cute! 🕷️
Oh and let’s take a moment for the spice, because good lord. These two start off quick and spicy. They have the best locations for their spicy moments! And let’s just say a candlestick!? Yes i said a candlestick. Do with that what you will 😈
I absolutely loved being back with the boys again and their craft nights! I’m so excited about the two new additions to the group and i cannot wait for what’s next!

-Stalker Romance
-Dark Golden Retriever Pro Hockey Player MMC
This is book two of the Saint Paul Sinner Series! You get to follow Mona and Casper. Mona’s luck is not here when not only does she find herself jobless, but homeless and no one to turn too. Casper is a hockey player obsessed with spooky things that just became owner of a haunted house. These two find themselves in a cat and mouse game when Casper finds the haunted house has an unexpected guest there.
Okay, this series keeps getting better and better! I'm seriously obsessed with it!!!! Unhinged rom-coms should be on everyone's radar because if it isn't you are truly missing out, this has made its way to my top reads like of 2026! Casper is the impidamy of a dark golden retriever, he was so adorable when it came to Mona honestly everyone needs a Capser in their life. Mona was also such a vibe, how she was during their first encounter made me love her lol, I think her witty comebacks made me laugh the most throughout the story. I think they also had the cutest nicknames ever, Spooky Boy and Scaredy Cat, seriously the best spooky vibe names ever. From beginning to the end this book had my full attention and I'm really sad I finished it, I could have read sooooo much more of these two. I'm hoping for at least a book three, MAYBE a book four and five if we are lucky lol because I don't want to say goodbye to this series yet!
Side notes:
-ohhhhh Paula lol
-we love a man who can write good poems

Casper really does remind me of Casper the Ghost because this masked, tatted man is basically a non-scary nice guy leaving cute little ghost cards for Mona. A skill he apparently picked up after making thousands of cards for Bates’ girl. 😂 Unfortunately, this book didn’t capture my attention anywhere near as much as book 1 did.
This was supposed to be a brat vs. brat situation, but instead of giving me the chaotic rom-com I was expecting, it felt like trauma after trauma after trauma with some romance squeezed in between. I couldn’t feel the connection between Casper and Mona, even though this was insta-love, which I normally don’t mind at all. I actually liked Casper, but Mona? Yeah… I don’t know. Something about her just wasn’t clicking for me, and I never got the vibe I was supposed to get from her. The romance needed more chemistry and less “here’s another traumatic event!” because eventually I was just sitting there waiting for the next emotional damage drop.
And then there’s PEN. I’ve read books with spider pets before, but I genuinely felt like Pen was shoved into this story because someone thought, “You know what this book needs? A fucking spider.” 😭 She barely had any interesting role beyond sitting inside that enclosure, so her presence felt completely unnecessary to me. And his parents being totally cool with Mona? Huh? 🧐 I needed more explanation there because that whole thing had me staring at the page like I’d missed a chapter. Honestly, this book couldn’t even distract me from my depression, so naturally I wasn’t exactly getting swept away by the romance or enjoying the spice either. That said, I did like the hunt toward the end, and the haunted house scenes were okay-ish.
If you like brat × brat, hockey player × makeup artist, masked men, tatted MCs, black-cat FMC × golden-retriever MMC, you might enjoy this one a hell of a lot more than I did.

Hello my delulu bookworms 🖤
Arc review:
Casper
He comes from a richierich family and is also a hockey player. He's a sweetheart who casually distributes money when he's happy 😂 but don't mistake him for a snobby rich boy because he's definitely not. He genuinely helps people when they need it, he just doesn't want anyone taking advantage of his status. He loves making cards and apparently stalking the person he has a crush on👀
Mona
She is a complete firecracker. She comes from a broken family and has been taking care of herself since high school. She's met all kinds of people especially those who tried to take advantage of her situation so her bitchy mouth is basically her armour. But underneath all that attitude is a girl who just wants love, care, and someone she can call home🥹
I love stalker and haunting romances so I was excited to read this book because of the title. But as soon as I started reading the spooky vibe got REAL😭 I literally had to stop reading a few times just to check my surroundings because I was that scared.The whole house gave such a creepy unsettling vibe but thankfully there was just as much romance to balance out the horror. It was such a fun mixture of romance plus horror plus spice and somehow it worked so well.One thing I really loved about Casper was how he always made sure Mona was comfortable before doing anything. Their relationship never felt like her boundaries were being ignored and I really appreciated that.Also the texts between Mona and Casper,My favourite part. I LOVE when books include texting conversations and their chats were so fun to read. 😂
If you love horror and romance at the same damn time then give this one a try. It'll have you scared shitless one minute and blushing like an idiot the next🖤👻

Review of advance copy received from Author
Yall—someone get me a bucket of ice to cool down with. Grab the hose. Holy shit balls.
When I tell you I was hooked from the beginning, it means that this story sunk its claws into me and didn’t let go. The characters, the plot, the thrill, the spice 🔥🥵, holy fucking hell.
Mona and Casper’s first encounter obviously didn’t go as well as it could have considering Mona has her black cat energy and RBF to the max. Her first instinct was to tell him to fuck off and his was to be immediately obsessed.
Mona is such a determined and brave soul—leaving her shitty life and home at the age of 17 and doing what she could to survive. Now years later—her most amazing accomplishment—squatting in a supposedly haunted house. But still trying to follow her dreams—along with having a masked stalker. Who is sending handmade cards, gifts, and heartfelt messages. Hell, if I had a masked stalker doing all that for me—I’d fall head over heels too 🤣
Unbeknownst to Mona—Casper just so happens to be said owner of haunted house and her masked man. And the way he does anything and everything to make her happy, HELLLOOOOO SWOON OVER HERE. Their dynamic together is whatever is more than “scorching”. Good lord, the words that man conjured up, someone get me FAN. Preferably on the highest setting. I’d turn into a goddamn puddle. Between all of that though, he WORSHIPS her and the way he makes her feel loved, supported, and safe—my god it’s beautiful. I loved their chemistry and their banter. Along with their growing relationship and a sexy identity reveal, we got a spooky heart pounding house haunting on top of it. Definitely had my heart spiking!
The supporting characters had me laughing so hard with their back and forth banter and their Craft Club. I’m truly invested in all of them and can’t wait to see where it all goes from here. I’m curiosity has peeked with those other men. 😉
This was such a great, fun, fall, spooky romantic comedy. Something I thoroughly enjoy. I flew through this in less than a day. I couldn’t put it down. Between the humor, the hauntings, the chases (😈) and overwhelming feeling of giddiness and kicking my feet—it was absolutely amazing.

Thanks to Pru Schuyler and House of Hearts for the gifted copy — all opinions are my own.
Please make sure to check out the tigger warnings before reading this book.
Casper ridley is the 6ft5 hockey player for the saint Paul sinners and is also the owner of a haunted house.
Mona greer is the black cat make up artist that also has a very bratty attitude and works at a hunted house.
You first meet mona when casper and his friends are gathering craft supplies and when I tell you it was love at first sight for casper I am not kidding. The attuide she gives him is even better.
When casper realises that moana is working/secretly living in his house ot works out perfect for him because it means that he can stalk her and be able to do things to help her as well.
Some of the things you read about in this book are quiet sad to me especially some of the heart breaking scenes that have been wrote for mona you learn the reason for her attuide and why its so heart breaking.
I lovw that caspers gives off golden retriever energy whilst moana is 100% black cat energy these two are perfect for each other.
Moana has a little pet jumping spider named penelope who quickly becomes her emotional support animal.
I honestly loved this book so much the twists and turns kept you on your feet I didnt want to put the book down from the moment i started. And that fact they added 2 new members to there club.
Id rate the spice in this book 🌶🌶🌶🌶 out of 5. I found the book to be very spicy in my opinion with lots of kink explorations during it as well you definitely got the spicy scenes quiet early on in this book.
I cant wait for the next book

Saint Paul Sinners Series- Book 2
Thanks so much to House of Hearts and Pru for the ALC. Im so happy I got book 2 after ready and rating book one (1), five (5)stars. I love the letters but the masks are a bit much for me personally but it just works in this story and for these characters. Another banger Pru, I loved this and finished it in 2 sittings. Casper was everything Mona needed and more given her history and everything she has been through. What a live story with a twist I didn’t see.
Words that Linger:
🏒“I didn’t want to scare you off,” I tell her honestly. “And once you let me loose, you’re going to have a hard time taming me again.”
🏒I will buy you the goddamn world and say thank you for letting me.
🏒Mine to take. Mine to use. Mine forever.”
🏒“Who the hell are you?” “I’m yours. That’s all that matters. Not my name. Not my family—who’ll you’ll meet soon enough. And not what I do. When the mask comes off, I’ll tell you everything.”
🏒“You’re not changing yourself to fit into my world, Mona. I’ll change the world to fit to you.”
🏒“Nothing compares to the things we do together. I mean it, Mona. Hockey is better with you. Life is better with you. Everything is better with you.”
Tropes:
💜 Halloween vibes
💜 masked man
💜 black cat fmc
💜 hidden cameras
💜 stalker romance
💜 pro hockey player
💜 makes her handmade cards
💜 makeup artist fmc
Thanks to Pru Schuyler and House of Hearts for tahe gifted copy — all opinions are my own.”

Your Masked Haunting
Pru Schuyler
Professional hockey player Casper Ridley purchases the Schrader House,
Mona Greer, starts working and secretly living in the Schrader House.
On a chance encounter in a craft store, Casper falls. Hard.
👻Halloween vibes
👻Masked man
👻Black cat FMC
👻Golden retriever MMC
👻Hidden cameras
👻Stalker romance
👻Pro hockey player / Makeup artist
👻Makes her handmade cards
Follow along into the haunting of sexual self discovery, a dash of spicy yearning and obsession.
She’s had a difficult upbringing and life experience up until now,
He creates a safe space for them to both peruse their desires without judgement and an openness for experimentation.
However, beneath the passion, obsession and unhinged methods of courtship, lays the green flag every woman desires, the man who would burn the world down just to keep her warm.
Favourite Quotes
Being perused by a tall, mysterious guy using handmade cards, thoughtful gifts, and love letters is certainly not how I expected my time at The Schrader House to start.
I don’t know why I feel so drawn to her, but I have since the first time I saw her. At that moment, I knew she was the one I wanted. To protect. To care for. To cherish. It was that simple. And there’s no going back.

Casper is a hockey player who’s obsessed with ghosts. He buys a haunted house to open as a Fright night house for Halloween.
Little does he know, Mona, one of the staff, lives in a secret room in the house as she’s nowhere else to go.
He sees Mona in a shop one day and instantly falls for her. She instantly takes a dislike to him.
He masks up and stalks her , and she doesn’t hate it . Not knowing who her masked man is. Mona is different to other girls. She likes the dark side of things. This stalker is the thing of her fantasies.
Little does she know, the man behind the mask is also her boss.
😈😈😈😈😈
Ok I’m obsessed. I loved the first book in the Saint Paul Sinners series, but this is my fav so far.
I love Casper so much (also great name for a ghosty book MMC 😆😆). As soon as he sees her he knows he wants her. He buys her things, gives her pet spider a home, looks after her. He’s such a masked Labrador stalker !!
Mona is a badass FMC. She gives Casper so much shit when she first meets him and he just likes her all the more . She’s definitely met her match with him.
I also love this book as there’s a deeper story about why everyone thinks the house is haunted .
Don’t get me wrong this book is filthy in the best way !!
I read it in a matter of hours!!
Can’t wait for the next one !!

6 ⭐️ read! Holy. Cannoli. I have been WAITING for this book and I’m the luckiest girl cuz @pruschuylerauthor trusted me to receive an arc and i could have cried! I sat down and read this in one sitting! If you haven’t read anything by Pru you are truly missing out! For my fans that read lights out but thought “what if he was a 6’+ hockey player” this series is for you! I loved book one of this series i really did. But THIS BOOK RIGHT HEREEEEE as a Halloween obsessed alt girl i couldn’t have loved two characters more! Mona is such a bad bitch in her tights and doc martens with the sass to back it up! Her past is hard to learn about but proves just how strong she truly is. So when Casper, the Halloween obsessed hockey player that buys a truly haunted house finds out she not only works their but is also squatting in a secret room of the house he does what any man would do…. Stalks her and makes her super cute homemade cards making her fall in love with him! But soon, Mona realizes that her only stalker maybe isn’t the masked man of her dreams, but someone else entirely. And before Casper can figure it out and save her it might be too late! Guys this book drops next Thursday 9/17 and please do not sleep on it! It’s the perfect spooky spicy fall read and i WILL be purchasing a shelf trophy! 😈 #bookworm #bookish #bookstagrammer #bookaholic #readingcommunity

This book was a dark rom com that involved stalking and mask play, so definitely read at your own risk and check out the triggers!
There is nothing better than a stalker rom com where the stalker has all the green flags (other than the stalking of course). Casper falls for Mona immediately and declares her as his future wife, where she actually cannot stand him off of their first encounter.
However, she has a masked stalker, she is immediately interested in. She just doesn't know it is the pro hockey player and her boss, Casper, the man she cannot stand. Her masked stalker leaves gifts in her home, provides acts of service and writes very sweet and spicy handmade cards for her.
He is a protective MMC who comes to protect her whenever called and needed. They help each other feel safe in their, and Casper provides a family for Mona in his, as well as his hockey team, which was really sweet to see since she never had her own. She had to put up her walls and give off her black cat persona, however once she felt safe we were able to see her soft and sweet side with Casper.
I loved the time line of their relationship. How quickly they got together and stayed together throughout without a breakup. Their are so hiccups, suspense.ans Halloween spookiness that adds to the story and makes it exciting.
This is the perfect Halloween read!

I swear Pru Schuyler puts magic in these books because I have never not fallen in love with her characters and of course Your Masked Haunting was no exception because I absolutely adored Casper and Mona!! I couldn’t put this book down, there was so much happening at all times and I was always on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. And on top of that I just really loved these characters Mona has had to take care of herself most of her life, but she has found her passion in makeup especially in the horror department which just happens to land her a job working for one of the most sought after haunted houses. A job that also happens to land her a masked stalker… one she should be fearful of but instead intrigues her. And of course you really just can’t help but love Casper… I mean he’s fun loving, a little bit on the insane side, takes care of those he loves with no questions asked. And when Mona and Casper are together, omg do the sparks fly!

Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️
I swear Pru Schuyler puts magic in these books because I have never not fallen in love with her characters and of course Your Masked Haunting was no exception because I absolutely adored Casper and Mona!! I couldn’t put this book down, there was so much happening at all times and I was always on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. And on top of that I just really loved these characters Mona has had to take care of herself most of her life, but she has found her passion in makeup especially in the horror department which just happens to land her a job working for one of the most sought after haunted houses. A job that also happens to land her a masked stalker… one she should be fearful of but instead intrigues her. And of course you really just can’t help but love Casper… I mean he’s fun loving, a little bit on the insane side, takes care of those he loves with no questions asked. And when Mona and Casper are together, omg do the sparks fly! Your Masked Haunting was full of sweet, heart felt moments, hilarious banter, characters you will love immediately, an unusual emotional support animal, plenty of spice, a haunted house that might not be haunted after all, and such an amazing happily ever after then Your Masked Haunting is definitely one to add to your TBR today!

ARC Review
Well, I wasn’t sure anyone would top Bates and his adorable adoption of Freddie, but then Pru writes a Halloween book with Casper as our MMC. Now let me tell you, she knew what she was doing when she did it!! This man was caring and patient, but also dirty and kinky.
Mona was a true black cat FMC and a brat to boot! She had sass and gave Casper and her masked man a run for his money. She was brave as hell though living in a haunted house and having a damn pet spider. Not me! NOPE!! I LOVE Halloween and Fall, but I draw the line at real spiders and actual haunted houses 😂🤣
This book was more than just a cute rom com with some spicy stalking, it was a book about finding your person, (or being claimed by your stalker and forced to fall in love 🤷🏼♀️ semantics) about letting your walls down and letting someone love you when your past threatens to break through. It’s about allowing yourself to heal from the shitty past you were dealt and the life you’ve been forced to survive and let someone take care of you because they want to and not because they want something in return. Job well done on book two of the Saint Paul Sinners Pru. I’m excited for the two new additions to the Sinners and looking forward to many more craft nights!
This review is based upon my own opinions and thoughts. Thank you to Pru Schuyler and The House of Hearts for my ARC.

Review of advance copy received from Author
First, I love Pru Schuyler and the way she writes men. Here’s the deal: these two meet at a craft store, have a slight confrontation, and you know what? Casper damn near falls in love on the spot.
The biggest plot point I love in this novel is the fact that Mona is homeless and lives in the house Casper bought for investment purposes. It’s a haunted house, and she does makeup for little kiddos and teens.
He notices she’s staying there and starts making sure she’s taken care of. Notes. Groceries. A pet spider enclosure. He is determined to make her life better, and he does so simply by being around her.
Now, are all of his methods super effective? No. I mean, some would classify them as over the top. Most actually would. But neither here nor there.
When these two finally get together? EXPLOSIVE. Mona is absolutely stunned at how well this masked man knows her, but Casper plays the long game … until he sees someone flirting with her and decides she needs to know, I’m here.
And with that, we get spicy and hilarious text messages. Honestly? Top-tier Pru.
We have his best buddies chiming in, we get to see how these two meet, and when Mona finally puts the puzzle together, it’s brilliant and beautiful.
This story, as with all of Pru’s stories, focuses on women being strong but also being taken care of by men who are rich and unhinged, but also know their favorite beverages, their favorite foods, their comforts, and the little things that make them happy.
Men who PAY ATTENTION.
And yes, we are deserving of those.
This is book 2 in the Saint Paul Sinners series, and honestly? I cannot wait for book three!
Fantastic series. And the special edition covers, guys?! Out of this world.
