6 Halloween Romance Books Perfect To Read In October And Beyond

Get ready for spooky season with Perfectly Wicked. Holly and her sisters have more secrets than the special ingredient that makes their apple cider the best Maine can offer, but with a failing orchard and no other option, they accept that participating in Connor Grimm’s ghost-hunting show couldn’t hurt.

However, Connor’s hiding something himself—his ulterior motive. Wicked Good Apples has seen a bit too much luck, and Connor is just as determined to expose their supernatural secret as Holly is to keep it.

To stop anything supernatural from getting out, Holly thinks it’ll be easy to keep Connor distracted with a story she didn’t even know about her family’s past. What neither expected was to find they actually like who the other really is, but secrets have a way of coming out. Now that Connor knows, he can have everything he wants and more at the cost of the person he’s come to love. 

This witchy read is for readers who love small-town and/or second-chance romance!

Vivienne Jones wants just one night to wallow in heartbreak after breaking up with Rhys Penhallow, and what’s wallowing without a little silly witchcraft?

When a spell that’s never supposed to work turns out a little more seriously than she thought, she, the maybe-not-so-terrible ex, and the town are facing a situation that’s a lot more serious than expected.

Between being attacked by toys and a seriously opinionated talking cat, Vivi and Rhys realize their relationship may not be as doomed as it seemed. Of course, they can’t make up if they don’t break up with this accidental curse first.

Slow down this October with a slow burn. Our main characters, Callum and Lark, start as neighbors and friends as Lark helps Callum find love in order to save his family’s undertaking business.

When Lark moved to Ireland for a year, she didn’t want to spend it reminded of everything she’d lost back home but discovers her shy neighbor may be the perfect distraction. Callum doesn’t want to marry for anything but love; however, he’s a demisexual mortician with a stutter, so finding Mrs. Right might take more time than he has. As they get to know each other better, attraction blooms, but Lark’s own looming deadline may mean they’re just not meant to be.

If you liked Halloweentown, you’ll love this one! Our female main character, Cassie, knows exactly what it’s like to feel left behind as her friends start getting married and having kids. Moving to Boneyard Key might have been a slightly dramatic solution, but she loves her definitely-haunted cottage and the history of the town. She might even love grumpy cafe owner Nick.

As a long-time resident of Boneyard Key, Nick takes the utmost advantage of his spooky roommate when it comes to the ghost tourism that supports his coffee shop, but finds himself a little hesitant to start something with someone ready to skedaddle as her haunted house continues to get creepier.

Conspiracy theories abound when Hallie needs to find and produce a new show for a company competition or lose her job after her ex spreads some unsavory rumors.

Unlucky in love, she hopes working with Hayden will be the win she needs. Although his experience as a hit podcaster leaves him a little lost when it comes to being on camera, his and Hallie’s personal and professional rapport conspire to create something more than just a hit series uncovering urban legends.

Yet, once bitten, twice shy leaves both wondering if their relationship should be a theory left undiscovered.

Fake dating is taken to the next level with this cozy fall romance when a Halloween party puts Lexi and Will in a pickle.

From their less than ideal meet-cute to a slight snafu on their first date, it’s looking like Lexi’s perfect distraction might just be a perfect disaster. With Will’s career resting on just how well they can pull off being fake engaged, both decide to keep up the ruse and actually casually date away from the prying eyes of the press.

While Lexi and Will work together, both realize there might be some truth behind their lie, but between the pressures of being the breadwinner after her father’s death and the fake aspects of their relationship, Lexi isn’t sure she’s ready for something real.
