About this book

- [x]

Hi! I’m October Halloway, and yes, my entire personality is Halloween.

Candy corn for breakfast? Obviously.

Turning my house into a year-round haunted house that makes the HOA want to burn me at the stake…Yes, but at least I’d look hot.

Dating life? Disaster. Men either bolt when I mention how many corpses you can fit in a trunk or faint when the bathroom mirror screams at them.

Oops.

But you know what doesn’t run? The dead. Turns out if you drink too much, spill glitter on a Ouija board, and offer cupcakes to forgotten graves, sometimes the skeletons RSVP. And when they do? They’re hot. Like… we should not be this horny for calcium hot.

Now my life is jump scares, duct-tape rituals, and figuring out if “undead boyfriends” counts as a tax deduction.

Scary. Sparkly. Probably illegal. Welcome to my love story.

Halloween RomCom lots of chemistry and laughs

November 20, 2025

Bury Me Softly is a festive paranormal rom-com by Persephone Steele. October is the physical embodiment of Halloween. However her dating life is a mess, so when she accidentally raises three men from the grave to be her lovers it isn't a stretch. This story is filled with plenty of Halloween sights and sounds. October is definitely quirky and doesn't care what others think. Chaos seems to follow her. The story is filled with vivid descriptions that had me laughing so hard about various odd...

A perfect read for spooky season

November 6, 2025

I was down for this book from the start because I too absolutely LOVE Halloween. I mean I shop for home decor at Spirit Halloween that stays out year round so I related to October on the whole turning my house into a year-round haunted house. If that didn't have me, then the fact that Persephone said she wrote this unsupervised and regretted nothing absolutely would have! I'm not going to spoil anything in this review either. This is going to be one unhinged spooky ride that you'll have to jump...

Different

November 1, 2025

Wow this book was definitely different. It is chaotic at times and I really wasn't sure what was happening through parts of it. The Fmc is a Halloween loving mess. She is a bit manic but fun loving. The ending was unusual but definitely fit with the theme of the book. This was not my favorite book by this author. It had its ups and downs and took me time to make it through it. ) 2 people found this helpful

\"The line between sane & insane is a ribbon I like to tie into ridiculous bows\"

October 25, 2025

The title for the review is one of my favorite lines from this book and really describes the FMC that and the time in the book she said about herself \"I am a sovereign nation of one gremlin\". I love her and I love this book. I don't often by physically copies of books, I love my kindle app, but I will be buying this one. The emotions I didn't want to feel (ewww feelings) were all there in this book but in a way that I was ok with, mostly, I don't like wet eyes. The spice was great, the words...
