It was a sheer coincidence I found this book, but I'm over the moon that I did! It's the perfect treat to tie you over, till book #4 comes out. The same brilliant writing as in the other books, with the dynamic you come to love. Even though, this book isn't really part of the Horsemen series and story line, I wouldn't read it without reading the others first, as I think there's a lot that won't make sense then.
It's Halloween and the Pony-boys and Vee are going to a party.
Or rather, more like they're obligated to chaperone a children's Halloween party. But either way they're in for an interesting evening filled with kids that are hyped up on sugar, single moms that aren't blind to the Pony-boys' good looks and teenagers that are just too cool for school!
When something sinister lurks in the shadows, it turns out that these five are just the ones you'd want to have around. Since Vee needs a release after using her powers, one of the guys might also receive a treat.
This is a fun read to help tie you over between book #3 and #4, but I would love if Lisa had time to write a fun little short story for each holiday. I'm glad that Lisa wrote a proper story with a holiday themed plot, instead of just some random smut (That's right Raven Queen, I'm looking right at your Christmas book)
Full disclosure: thebook, series, contains steamy content but I think LJ Swallow manages to walk the line and keep it from being sleazy. The sex scenes are well written and suit the moments, it doesn't seem forced and the words are well chosen.

I quite enjoyed this short, and would love to read the actual series. While the romance is rather weird, the characters were interesting.

A fun but not required read
This is a fluffy story about the horseman on Halloween. A slice of life story that doesn't grow the characters or move the plot. Good if you feel you can't get enough of the horseman

This is a fun novella that steps away from the chaos of main story a little bit. It’s still the Horsemen and Vee doing what they do, it’s still all the same characters, but it feels like it gives you a chance to breathe/get to know them away from the other stuff that’s going on. I normally have a big issue with novellas. They’re meant to be short, quick reads. Some authors try to accomplish to much in novella length books. They try to cover too much, and they end up glossing over things, or rushing them, and the story ends up mediocre at best. The author hasn’t done this here. Yes, this jumps straight into the story, as it expects that you’ll know the characters and some of the backstory. I understand that some authors with novella length stories don’t have that luxury. That said, the author has done what I think is the smart thing and has written about one exciting event that takes place over the course of Halloween night. It is was well done, and you don’t feel like you’ve been left wanting.

Halloween with the Pony Boys and Vee! Fun, sexy, and dangerous. Portia, the fea queen asks the Horsemen to supervise her youngest daughter, Kailey's Halloween party and to keep the peace they agree. Not exactly what they are suited for. Each would rather battle demons than spend an evening babysitting sugar-hyped children and fending off single moms, but who knows; they might get to do both.
This story is pure fun. The Four Horsemen and Verity dressing up for Halloween. Sexy, scary. A party with children playing games and eating cake, trick or treating. A teenage fae with an attitude inviting vampires to the party, spiking the punch. Unexpected danger. Halloween is the perfect time for demons to strike after all!

A fun read!
The Four Horsemen face their greatest challenge yet: supervising a children's Halloween party...
And something sinister lurks nearby...
Can the Four and Vee help? Or will they be tricked too?
A quick, fun read that will give you thrills! I was so excited to read this short read and I was most definitely not disappointed... especially the fact that it is torture for the Horsemen - not only the party but the children as well.
This is a great bonus story that keeps you satisfied until the next book is out.
Full of fae, the horsemen and woman, supernatural creatures, evil and attraction.
Perfect for readers of paranormal reverse harem romances.

Fun, quick read
This is a fun, quick read! Swallow gives us a fun Halloween treat to tide us over until Guardians comes out. It was nice seeing Vee and the guys have a little fun. Vee and the guys are on babysitting duty for Portia, and it wade me laugh to see the guys reactions around the kids. There is some action as Vee and the guys deal with some supernatural, Halloween problems.

Tricked is a great short story in LJ Swallow's The Four Horsemen series. Who wouldn't want to go Trick-or-Treating with with Verity and her pony boys. What would be the Horsemen's greatest fear? Watching children on Halloween, who would have guessed? This book is packed with humor, suspense and fantastic characters. I devoured this book in one sitting and can't wait for more from this series. LJ Swallow does a great job of creating a world I never want to leave!

This was only a short and sweet Halloween themed story, but it was perfection. I've not read a Halloween story before, and it was everything to get me in the mood. Plus an awesome addition to an already addictive and gripping series. If you love a short story, and especially one that is themed to a certain holiday or day, give this a go, it's amazing. And if you are already following The Four Horsemen series, then you have no choice, you must read this!

Diverting Addition
Loved this mini story of the pony boys and Vee! Who wouldn't wonder how the horsemen would spend Halloween? It probably isn't how you'd imagine. I for one can never get enough of these brilliant characters, so I was beyond excited to read this! It most certainly keeps you entertained and turning those pages ♡ ♡♡♡

It was a lot of fun to see the Pony Boys deal with Halloween - I laughed out loud at several points in this little story. Somehow, LJ Swallow wrote a perfect little snippet to tide us over until the next full release. It has humor, action and romance and felt like a present to the fans.

Thrilling
Absolutely thrilling. Another exciting one from LJ even though it's not part of the series. Can't wait to read the next book in the Horseman series to see what happens between Vee and Xander.

A cute shirt, quick Halloween story about the Four Horseman babysitting. This isn’t what they’re supposed to be doing. Loved it and will keep me occupied until the next book comes out. Received a free copy.
August 25, 2018
Great short story in a series I love. I can't wait for the next full length book to come out.
Vee gets more powerful every day and her enemies get more dangerous. I can't wait for the tension between Vee and Xander to finally explode!

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this, it was nice to see them outside their usual routine. The only small niggle I had was the fact that this is meant to be set in the UK and people definitely do not say sneakers. It's trainers!

I loved this quick read about Ver and her boys at Halloween. It was fun to watch them around a bunch of kids on a sugar high. It’s a perfect Halloween special and I can’t wait for Guardians

Good one
Short Halloween story that makes sense if you have read the others in the series and know the characters. Good writing and good story. Happy reading.
