Witches and Stitches : Spookily Ever After
Molly Mendez has spent years proving dead bodies make better company than most living people. Then one of them wakes up during his autopsy.
Kieran has purple blood, black stitches, thirteen strangers’ body parts, zero memories, and an alarming amount of knowledge about where to stab someone for maximum efficiency. He also has a filthy sense of humor, no concept of personal space, and absolutely no idea why women keep asking for his phone number.
Molly should turn him over to the authorities. Instead, she smuggles him home, teaches him about pizza, horror movies, and Halloween, and starts digging into the impossible question of who built him.
The answer leads to stolen graves, forbidden necromancy, and a secret buried inside Molly’s picture-perfect hometown.
Falling for Kieran was never part of the plan and unfortunately, someone wants their corpse back.

💚ARC review💚
Ariel is the queen of dark rom-com! I knew this was going to be good one after her last book Problematic had me laughing and giggling 🤭
This was one of the cutest, funniest spooky books I’ve read. I fell in love with Kieran, he’s is just the cutest golden retriever. The banter between Kieran and Molly was everything! The quick wits and comebacks between each other had me laughing! We get straight to point in chapter one and it kept me hooked to the very end. I loved the magic and Scooby Doo vibes that just brought it all together. The twist and turns will keep you guessing and that plot twist will blow you away! As a cat mom, I love seeing cats in my books and Nova & Nox delivered! Definitely add to you TBR to have a good laugh and a fun time! Thank you Ariel for the ARC opportunity. I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us next!

Ariel is quickly becoming an author that will one-click without question. She's a literary artisan with her writing prose!
I quickly got pulled into this book and enjoyed every word of it. The banter between Kieran and Molly was sooo good. It added another layer to their interactions and kept things entertaining.
I enjoyed the spooky vibes and watching these two try and find the answers they were seeking. All the magic woven in just made it all the more interesting. And let's not forget about Nox and Nova - love these cats!!
This was a great Halloween romance with the perfect added suspense.

Hands down the absolute cutest spooky-vibe read! If you’re looking for the ultimate quick read for Halloween, this is it. I picked it up and literally could not put it down.
This was my first book by Ariel Brouillette, and she hooked me right from chapter one. The vibe is such a unique blend—my adult self was thriving on the Criminal Minds investigative aspect, while my inner child was completely here for all the fun Scooby-Doo nods! 😆
The quick wit and constant banter between the main characters had me laughing out loud and craving the next chapter. The magic system, the immersive fall aesthetics, and the fast-paced flow prove just how well-written this story is.
Kieran and Molly are top-tier protagonists, and I absolutely adored watching their dynamics play out. Plus, the feisty, fat cats, Nova and Nox, were total scene-stealers and the ultimate side characters!
Between the top-notch banter, the magical setting, and the wild twists, this was an absolute blast to read. My biggest piece of advice: go in knowing as little as possible, because that plot twist deserves to hit you like a brick🧱! Absolutely loved it from start to finish!

The banter in this book was FANTASTIC. 😂 The plot twist? Absolutely WILD. Did I do some gagging along the way? Unfortunately, yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely.
Molly is a witch who works in a morgue, and things get interesting when a body made from 13 different corpses is brought in and magically brought to life. Naturally, the question becomes WHO did this and WHY? And trust me, the answers are not what I expected. 👀

OMG, this book is just so dang cute! It’s the most a wonderful rom-com with just the right amount of spooky Halloween vibes. The quick wit & banter between the two MMC’s is everything. You will be hooked from the very beginning.
Every chapter left me wanting more and more. Throughout the book, there are many twists & turns. Even when you think you see them coming, Ariel writes them so well you’re still in shock.
I absolutely adored this book & highly recommend it. Everyone needs to add this book on their TBR, especially for the spooky season. 🎃👻🖤

I actually loved this.
It had copious amounts of banter between the FMC, Molly and the MMC, Kieran. The pacing was perfect. There was a great balance between the parts that had me cackling and the parts that were sad.
I absolutely fell in love with Kieran, such a golden retriever but when things got spicy, he took control. Yes please!
It’s amazing how much the author managed to pack into this shorter read and even included some major plot twists.
I received this as an ARC and now look forward to reading other books by this author.
Special mention to Nova, the fat ginger cat, absolute legend. P.S. don’t forget Nox, the very angry security guard black cat

Fun Halloween Romantasy
I received an advanced copy of this book from the author and this is my honest review.
This book was a really fun quick read. Perfect for getting into the spooky season. Overall really enjoyed this book.
You have instant attraction, open door spice, an insecure witch, a golden retriever reanimated corpse, and a necromancer mystery. MMC is obsessive, dominate in spicy moments, and touch her and 💀 mentality. FMC is a bit insecure, but is smart with a medical degree so she can stitch the MMC back together as things go wrong.

Frankenstein’s Monster was 🔥
I enjoyed learning about Kieran and Molly! It was very disturbing how and why he was made but loved him despite of it! His humor was perfect and totally fun to read. Molly was amazingly unique! How they found each other and helped each other learn to love all of them selves! It was a great romance story! The mystery and plot twists had me gawking! Definitely put this story on your TBR! Witches and Stitches and a meddling orange cat! 🧡

This was a perfect Halloween read!
Kieran is adorable and so funny. He had me laughing most of the story but also tearing up as he came to terms with what he was and how he was created.
Didn’t see that twist coming at the end though but oh boy was it a twist.
Nova saves the day! Surprised it wasn’t Nox though. That would’ve been funny lol cat that hates everyone saves them but instead it’s the fat one. Still cute.

This is a perfect Halloween read, it has a bit of everything, mystery, thriller and horror but with cozy vibes too
Was such a fun read, the FMC Molly, works at a morgue and is working on a body that is made up of alot of people, when somehow he wakes up, the journey they go on to find out who done it, is cute, funny and kinda mind blowing 🤯
Go grab your favourite Halloween drink and snacks and read this for those perfect spooky vibes

Lol & Highly Entertaining
Such a fun and hilarious read. Molly doesn't know what she's about to discover is going to massively change her life forever
The character banter was hilarious. The situations were insane and the plot was plotting!
Bit of twist there at the end that kinda made me 🤢 but so freaking good!

Really fun, heartwarming story about a man that woke up on the autopsy table with no memory and a woman that goes out of her way to protect him and uncover the truth. I loved the banter between Molly and Kieran and there were plenty of scenes that made me chuckle … who knew a corpse possessed so much humour?! Overall a great read for spooky season, thanks for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Ok, just the one liners in this one had me hooked.
And the MMC, who knew a stitched up reanimated corpse could be so Hot 🥵
great read for the spooky season, or all year.
If you’re a dark romance reader looking for a break and something lighter, definitely recommend this one

Honestly hilarious!
Look, I know it's a dark romcom, but I wasn't expecting the romcom to overshadow the dark!
Kieran is a witty, adorable golden retriever type.
Molly is a sarcastic black cat type.
The banter is top-notch!
There's intrigue, suspense, humor, spice, and a Hispanic mom I expected to throw a chancla or 2.
Book 2 needs to come along!

I DEVOURED this book! It was funny, spicy, cute, and honestly, SO, SO, SO good. I loved Molly’s sassy side, and Kieran? Total cinnamon roll, which I absolutely did not expect going into this. Their dynamic was everything, and I loved watching their relationship unfold. There were also some twists that I genuinely did not see coming, and they made the story even better.
Give me anything witchy, a little dark, and full of Halloween vibes, and I am IN. The necromancy, the mystery, the small-town secrets, and the absolute chaos of a stitched-together man learning about pizza and horror movies? I loved every bit of it. I also really loved the apple fest! Man, can that "man" eat!
This was such a fun, unexpected read with the perfect mix of humor, romance, spice, and spooky goodness. Molly and Kieran completely won me over, and I already want more!

She Raised the Dead. Then Stole the Body. Because Apparently, That's What You Do When Your Corpse Has Abs! 🧟♂️😂
Oh, I absolutely ADORED this spooky little rom-com! Remember Warm Bodies? That zombie movie where you suddenly found yourself thinking, "Wait a minute... why is the zombie guy actually kind of cute?" Well, imagine that, but give our undead hero the sweet, completely guileless personality of Edward Scissorhands. He takes practically everything literally, doesn't understand social cues or personal boundaries, and is still figuring out how to function in the world. And instead of craving human brains? This guy REALLY loves sugary sweets! 🍬😂
But don't let that innocent, socially clueless personality fool you! Because apparently, our stitched-together sweetheart has a FLIRTY side. And when things get spicy? HELLO, DADDY DOM ENERGY! 🥵🔥 I mean, seriously... one of those thirteen body parts must have belonged to a Fifty Shades of Grey fan! Who knew a resurrected corpse could go from adorably clueless to deliciously commanding?!
Now let's talk about our heroine. She's a witch working as a coroner's assistant who hasn't quite figured out the full extent of her magical abilities. Her latest case? A victim of a serial killer whose body has been stitched together from thirteen different people. THIRTEEN! And while she's examining this rather unusual corpse, she can't help noticing... WOW. LOOK AT THOSE ABS! 👀🔥 But things get considerably more complicated when she accidentally brings the handsome, stitched-together man back to life while she's elbow-deep in his chest cavity! Well, THAT wasn't in the job description! So what's an upstanding, witchy coroner's assistant supposed to do when she accidentally resurrects a murder victim? STEAL THE BODY, OF COURSE! 😂 Although "steal" might be a generous description. It's more like dragging him out of there while he relearns how to walk. Picture Billy Butcherson stumbling through the catacombs in Hocus Pocus, and you'll have a pretty good idea of the chaos! And that is exactly the kind of delightfully ridiculous setup that makes this story so much fun.
I loved the contrast between our heroine and her sweet, socially clueless undead companion. His innocence, literal interpretations, lack of boundaries, and fascination with sweets make him absolutely adorable. But there's more going on than just supernatural romantic comedy. There's still a serial killer on the loose! The mystery adds another layer of intrigue to all the witchy shenanigans, giving the story a little darkness without losing its playful charm. This was such a fun, quick read, and I enjoyed it so much that I immediately went looking for more books by Ariel Brouillette! And imagine my surprise when I discovered she lives in my home state of South Carolina! Well, now I practically feel like we're neighbors! 😂 Who knows? Maybe getting my hands on a signed copy isn't such a far-fetched dream after all!
🖤 My Wicked Verdict: Witch and Stitches is a delightfully quirky, spicy paranormal rom-com with a lovable undead hero, an accidentally powerful witch, a side of murder mystery, and enough spooky humor to keep me grinning. It's sweet, silly, a little macabre, surprisingly HOT, and absolutely perfect for readers who enjoy their romance with a dash of witchcraft and a whole lot of weird! A stitched-together sweetheart, one very questionable resurrection, and a romance that's anything but dead! 🧟♂️❤️ This one was wickedly fun, and I'll definitely be reading more from Ariel Brouillette!

I loved this small but mighty book. The perfect spooky Halloween read, and honestly, it was brilliant from the first page to the last. I couldn't put it down.
Starting with Molly, our witch, who's about to perform an autopsy on Kirean when he wakes up on her table, and she harbours him away. I was hooked straight away. Their tension and banter were just right, and I absolutely loved their relationship. There was something about these two that just worked. They fitted together perfectly, and I found myself rooting for them from the moment Kirean woke up.
Kirean, made up of 13 different people, helped by Molly, who kept kirean stitched together, set out to solve the mystery of who did this. I loved how the mystery unfolded and how the twists and turns kept me guessing. There was always something pulling me back in, and I was invested right until the end.
The setting of the Clydesville Apple Festival was brilliant. I could picture it all, the apples, the pies, the pumpkins and festivities. It had that perfect autumn atmosphere, a little spooky, a little magical, and exactly what I wanted from a Halloween read.
For me, this book had such a brilliant mix of mystery, romance, banter and Halloween vibes. It's the kind of story that leaves you wanting more and makes you want to curl up and read it all over again.
I cannot wait to buy a physical copy for my book trophy shelf. I 100% recommend this one, and I have a feeling it's going to become my firm Halloween favourite every year. 🎃

I didn't know I needed a romance involving a witch, a stitched-together man made from 13 different bodies, and two very opinionated cats, but here we are. 😂🖤
This book was SO much fun! Molly and Kieran were such a delight, and I absolutely loved their dynamic. The banter was fantastic, the teasing had me grinning, and Kieran's complete lack of a filter made him even more entertaining. This man really has no business being that cheeky. 😂
I loved the whole spooky atmosphere, too. The magic, the morgue setting, the autumn vibes, and the mystery behind Kieran's existence made for such a fun combination. And just when I thought I had an idea of where things were going, the plot decided to surprise me. That twist! I genuinely wasn't expecting it.
Overall, this was such a cute, funny, and slightly chaotic paranormal romance with just the right amount of spooky vibes. A perfect little Halloween read, and definitely a book I'd recommend going into blind!

Witches and Stitches
•ARC REVIEW•
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5
Witches and Stitches is a dark romcom that will have you laughing from beginning to end!
I could not believe how much I enjoyed this book. Molly is silly, sweet and sassy with just the right amount of badass. She works in the morgue, hiding her witchy magic from the world and avoiding interaction with live people. When a weird corpse made of other corpses gets wheeled into the morgue, she’s immediately spooked. Then the corpse’s heart beats in her hand.
Kieran wakes up in a morgue with his guts hanging out. He remembers nothing, but the cute little lady who literally has his heart in her hand will make sure he stays safe and alive at all costs. The question remains- who made him? And who is he made of?
This is a perfect spooky season read with tons of giggles, banter and lots of spice. I loved how silly Kieran was and evidently, so did Molly. The little plot twist at the end was super unexpected- kept me turning the pages for sure!
This is a fun and spicy read!

Thank you Ariel Brouillette for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
This book was so adorable and hilarious! Kieran and Molly's sense of humor is fantastic, and I love their aggressively cuddly superhero orange cat Nova! The reaction of Molly to a waking up corpse had me laughing hysterically, I love how oblivious Kieran is to the world, and how his only objective is food and caring for the one woman he loves! I also thought it was so cute how Molly was jealous of Keiran for how quickly he became her mother's favorite person. This book is full of twists and surprises, some that may even make you feel a little dirty.
I highly recommend giving this book a read if you love spicy dark paranormal rom coms with who did this to you vibes, and touch her and die consequences. Also, if you love reading about chunky affectionate orange cats, and a wicked moody black cat you'll find this very enjoyable! Make sure to check your trigger warnings before giving this a read!

I also thought it was so cute how Molly was jealous of Keiran for how quickly he became her mother's favorite person. This book is full of twists and surprises, some that may even make you feel a little dirty.
I highly recommend giving this book a read if you love spicy dark paranormal rom coms with who did this to you vibes, and touch her and die consequences. Also, if you love reading about chunky affectionate orange cats, and a wicked moody black cat you'll find this very enjoyable! Make sure to check your trigger warnings before giving this a read!
SPICE: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

What do I want to say about this book? Well, let's start with: I absolutely love this book!! There was nothing that I didn't like about it. The plot was great, the characters were easy to fall in love with, and the mystery with the plot twists keep me fully engaged! It had the right amount of romance mixed with mystery mixed with a cozy Halloween vibe! I liked the side characters, but the main characters were definitely well loved! Molly just instantly had a vibe to her that I loved. And don't even get me started on her cats, they were the best part of this whole book!! Kieran absolutely stole my heart, everything that came out of his mouth had me cracking up! It was the easiest thing in the world, to fall in love with Kieran! How could you not?! This book was totally easy to devour, and it has definitely earned the 5 stars in my opinion!! Major applause to Ariel!! This was a great way to wrap up October!

Okay so ... I had a prediction for the twist from fairly early on, then the first big twist happens and I'm like oh ... Surely my original prediction was wayyyy off then 🤔. Big twist number two happens and I'm like ... Oh I was right ? 👀 ... OHHHH I was RIGHT ?! 🤢🤢
Like excuse me Mr. I know everything, you didn't wanna do just a LITTLE more research on that obsession ? Nope, okay cool 🤦🏼♀️
Anywhooo... Kieran is perfection. He may be stitched together with 13 other peoples' body parts, but he's the perfect combination of golden retriever lover boy, and a hot, dominant ass man who would do anything to protect Molly.
Speaking of perfection, I love Kieran and Molly together 🥹. Their banter is everything and their connection is unmatched.
Spooky season may be coming to an end, but if you're in the mood for a quick, cute, funny read with a little mystery, then I highly recommend picking this book up !!

As an Aussie born in the 80s, I am not classically trained in Halloween but there are two things that transcend the cultural divide. The first is Hocus Pocus (the original movie) and the second is Witches & Stitches!
Imagine if Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Gilmore Girls, Scooby Doo and Frankenstein had an R-rated baby... VOILA! This is baby! If you need any further push to read this book, here it is: there are two supporting characters who are cats! 🐈 🐈⬛
Molly accidentally reanimates a composite corpse, stitched together with the remains of 13 dead people. This would be a major oops except he’s kinda dreamy and when things get steamy it doesn’t pay to think about where certain parts came from or how long they’d been dead and buried… This is a zany, fast paced ride with twists and laughs and a message about identity that I really enjoyed. And like a R18+ Hocus Pocus, this is a fun adventure to enjoy any time of the year!

Let me start by saying, I LOVED this book. I devoured it. 10/10 would recommend reading.
Molly is an introverted, black cat girlie and I love a relatable character. She is working a shift in the morgue when a corpse comes in and she finds herself in the middle of a conundrum when he wakes up on her table during his autopsy. Kieran being a hot as hades corpse makes you say...am i...am I into this? Yes. Yes, you are. Don't question it. Molly and Kieran have to play detective to figure out who made Kieran and along the way Kieran gets to experience all these firsts since "waking up" and Molly gets to watch his love for life and it's kind of a subplot I didnt know I needed.
You need to read this, the story is fun, yes, but Ariel keeps it's dark, mystery plot intact beautifully. And the spice is *chefs kiss*
💯 will read again.

I received this book as an ARC and was super excited to read it during Halloween week! 🎃🖤
If you love sarcastic, flirty banter, this one is for you! I found myself giggling out loud more than once. Two of my favorite one-liners were "Usually when someone rearranges my guts, they take me on a date first" and "I've been dead, I missed breakfast!" Both were absolutely hilarious, and the timing was perfect.
The storyline between the characters was great, and I loved watching their dynamic unfold. But there's also a mystery woven throughout the story that kept me thinking and trying to piece everything together.
Between the humor, the chemistry, the unexpected twists, and the mystery that kept me guessing, this was such a fun read. It was the perfect mix of spooky, funny, and entertaining.

If you promise us rom-com, banter and spooky vibes, you better deliver. And boy, does this book DELIVER!
The banter is fantastic, the small-town setting is delectable, full of secrets and witchy fun, and the characters are an absolute treat.
And then there’s our resident stiff who decides waking up is a good idea. Let’s just say he’s nothing short of YUMMY. We were certainly not prepared to be this enthusiastic about a man who started out on an examination table!
A genuinely fun, entertaining story that delivers on romance, humour and Halloween charm. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be keeping an eye out for more Spookily Ever After stories!
Bring on the next one!

LOVED THIS BOOK!
Halloween is my favorite holiday! And yes, I consider it a holiday. I start celebrating in August and don’t stop celebrating until the end of November. This book gave me all of the Halloween/fall vibes and was a perfect read for the week of Halloween. I actually finished it on Halloween night.
I could not put this book down and thought about it every second that I wasn’t reading it, because the banter was amazing, the characters were hilarious, and I actually believed in the love story that was developing. I don’t like whenever love feels forced or cheesy in a book, and to me, Kieran and Molly’s did not feel forced at all. This is the second book that I’ve read by Ariel and I’m about to start my third because I am obsessed with her characters.

Here lies the relentless flirt of a Frankenstein that is painfully unaware of every woman falling over him because he only has eyes for her. Ultimately winning her over with his cheesy pickup lines, incessant food obsession, and aversion to wearing clothes.
I absolutely adored this book!!! This is the perfect spooky season read especially if you live your life as every day is Halloween! The banter was fantastic, the spooky vibes hit just right, and the plot twist got me!
This is my second read from Ariel Brouillette and I need to read everything she has ever written. Truly in love with the way she writes, the comical undertones mixed with the spicy, spooky vibes. I cannot recommend anything more perfect!
