This is a short read & I don’t want to give anything away. So, I’ll just say I felt so much reading this! It’s humorous. Sexy AF. Heartfelt. And a range of other things. (Yes, I got teary. NGL) It absolutely kicks ass and may be my new favorite by the author! Love this series.
These 2 main characters absolutely were electric. And damn, I love me a goth baddie FMC.

This is IT guys!! This is THE Halloween novella!

I love the Headless Horseman lore but this takes it up a notch 🔥 smutty, relatable (and totally me) FMC, and riding a pumpkin head in cemetery.

Spooky smutty skeletons 😏

Mortician baddie Kat and sexy Brom are my new power couple. I love that he calls her ‘pumpkin’ too 🥹

📖 ɴᴏᴡ ʀᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ 📖

Y’all know I love my cryptids and folklores!🙌🏻🫠

So off I go to read about this headless horseman….🎃🐎
…

📚𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒍𝒚 𝑰𝒏 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆: 𝑨 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝑮𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑵𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒎 𝑶𝒇 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒚 𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒃𝒚 𝑬.𝑴. 𝑨𝒔𝒉𝒘𝒐𝒐𝒅 ( @authoremashwood )
…

‼️𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝟭𝟬.𝟮𝟯‼️
…
The legend states that every All Hallow’s Eve, when the veil has thinned between the realms, the Headless Horseman emerges from his tomb and rides the streets of Sleepy Hollow. He terrorizes the masses as he searches for his head, or rather, a new one, before returning to the realm of the dead, only for the cycle to repeat itself every year.

Dr. Katrina Fox has lived in the village of Sleepy Hollow her entire life, and has never witnessed such specter, but she has seen plenty of other spooky things. Experiencing the supernatural goes hand in hand with taking care of the dead. Things go missing, personal items get moved, and sometimes, the scent of a departed’s perfume or cologne lingers in the air.

These strange occurrences happen daily at the oldest funeral home in the region, and have long since stopped bothering Kat. She loves her job, she cares for the clients who pass through her doors, and sends them off with dignity and compassion. What she doesn’t share, is how lonely she has become.

Unfortunately, being a mortician doesn’t bring in many friends.

So when she meets a man at a local Halloween-themed speed dating event who admires her love of the dead, she falls harder than she ever anticipated.

Of all the days her could have ghosted her, he chose Halloween. Her favorite holiday.  
Filled with a burning hot rage, she goes in search of the man who completely enraptured her heart.

She expected to find her crush, but ends up finding a local legend waiting for her instead.

Kindly requesting that nobody speaks a singular word in my direction during my lunch break at work today because IMMA BE BUSY YALLLLL.

Alright. And general housekeeping and I’m not saying this because I’m on her Street Team, I genuinely love @authoremashwood’s books and will shout that from the roof tops, so please do me a favor and check out her other 3 books so I have someone else to talk to about them. They’re just chef’s kiss. I can’t wait to read this novella. Eeeeeeeee!
