About this book

The wedding of the millennium is finally here, and it is every bit as chaotic, blood-soaked, and intense as readers of The Hollow Ocean have come to expect. On All Hallows Eve, the worlds of vampires and necromancers collide as the Red King and the Gray Queen prepare to unite. For Ayameko Shi, the ceremony is a daunting threshold, forcing her to confront the terrifying reality of being adored by a man as dangerous as Nikolai.

This installment is a must-read for fans of paranormal romance who crave high-stakes tension and dark, atmospheric world-building. Nikolai, a devil in a three-piece suit, remains the ultimate anti-hero—murderous, deranged, and deeply protective. His devotion to Meko is absolute, yet the path to their altar is littered with assassins, unexpected revelations, and the biting humor that defines this series.

Expect a wild ride through a supernatural underworld where romance is forged in violence. Between the spice, the suspense, and the looming threat of the pumpkin king, Dani M. Ward delivers a story that pulls at the heartstrings while keeping the adrenaline pumping. Will Meko walk down the aisle, or will the chaos of the Hollow Ocean tear them apart before the vows are spoken?

Halloween: a Hollow Ocean Short Story is not a stand alone unlike many of Dani's other books in the series. It must be read after His Crimson Mask in order to be understood. In order to get the most clear picture readers would better be holding off until they had finished all previous 6 books before starting this one, both to enjoy the easter eggs and to avoid spoilers. That said this is definitely her dirtiest, freakiest book in all the best ways. Dani really does write some of the most...
