Only one more sleep until the second-best (but almost best) holiday—🅷🅰🅻🅻🅾🆆🅴🅴🅽! 🎃
(Seriously, if Halloween had presents? Santa Claus, who?)

In the spirit of spooky season, I put together a “what should I read—𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹𝘆𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻” for any fellow book fiends who prefer a nice night in: cozy Halloween PJs, a glass of wine, and a good book between handing out candy to trick-or-treaters (or eating it straight from the bowl—no judgment here).

I tried to curate a short list with a little bit of everything—from rom-com to what just happened? I’ve listed them in order of how I rated them, so you can decide how brave (or chaotic) you’re feeling. And hey, spooky is a state of mind. So if a cozy night in isn’t in the cards, A) let me live vicariously through you, and B) pairing apocalypse romance with your year-round mafia binge is 100% valid.

P.S. You can find all of these on Kindle Unlimited. You’re welcome. 😉

She’s an ex-FBI agent chasing a serial unaliver with delusions of grandeur through the apocalypse (because why not multitask?), and along the way, she stumbles into a found family and one of the best slow burns you’ll ever read. With action, banter, and chaos in perfect balance, this one’s an end-of-the-world win. 🔥

Kelsey’s been surviving solo (with her side-chickens Sookie and J-Wow, obviously) until four dangerously charming men crash her end-of-the-world penthouse paradise. It’s insta-love meets apocalypse chaos—fast, fun, and way more entertaining than it has any right to be. Oh, and did I mention the Cinna-Dom? 👀🧟‍♀️💘

Less about heat and more about heart. There’s survival (duh), self-worth (get that growth arc, babes), and found connection—all with a side of Pleasantville. (Dear Grant, go eat a 🍆.) Bonus points for Cole and baby Lucy’s sweet bond. 🥹

Quick, cute, and surprisingly satisfying. If you’ve ever wondered what running into your ex during the apocalypse would be like, this one’s for you. The perfect little zombie-flavored appetizer for your end-of-the-world romance cravings. 🧟‍♀️💋

Strong start, killer premise, but the ending leans more thriller than love story. Great setup, shaky follow-through—but if you’re here for the apocalypse ride (sans HEA), dive in. 🧟‍♀️📖

Whether you’re trick-or-treating, watching horror movies, or pretending not to be home when the doorbell rings—may your night be spooky, your wine glass full, and your candy full-sized (because we have standards).

Happy Halloween, you spooky little gremlins.
