About this book
Being an immortal rogue enforcer is never easy. But when human bones are found buried in a residential garden—and they happen to be discovered by your life mate—things get even more complicated in this latest paranormal romance installment of New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands’s wickedly alluring Argeneau vampire series.
Crispinus Delacort is an immortal rogue enforcer and a homicide detective. But in his quiet city, he’s more likely to be rounding up truant teens than investigating murders. So, when he learns that human bones have been found in the garden of a sprawling rural home, kicking off a paranormal mystery, it’s unexpected to say the least.
Abril Newman can’t believe her bad luck when she discovers a body buried on the grounds of her boss’s home, while chasing after Gina’s mischievous lab Lilith. She was just supposed to be house-sitting for a few days! And then Detective Delacort arrives. She knows she shouldn’t be thinking about love when there’s a crime scene outside the door. But ignoring her instant, fated mates attraction to gorgeous Crispin is easier said than done.
When Crispin realizes that a rogue is involved in this steamy romance, he knows this won’t be a simple investigation. Especially because he’s so distracted by Abril’s presence that all he wants is to kiss her senseless in every room of the manor. But he can woo her, solve the case, and stop a dangerous rogue by morning...right? All in a day’s work.
A great read for spooky-season nights A perfect addition to any Halloween reading list

Okay, what is up with the title extension? This doesn't take place on or around Halloween. That's just weird. So, I'm not sure how I feel about this story. The plot is very intriguing, I enjoyed Abril & Crispin, and I LOVE Lucian, so any time he guest stars, I'm a happy camper. And there are some excellent Lucian scenes! The story itself, however... wth? We get a lot of good back story for Abril, but I didn't feel like we (or Abril, really) got to know Crispin at all. The longest conversation...

Abril is house sitting for her boss, when the excavation for a new patio is stopped. Her boss' dog Lillith then digs up human bones in the excavation site. Crispin is an immortal and a homicide detective, so he is sent to investigate this along with his immortal partner. But how can Crispin investigate, when Abril is so tempting of distracting? Read this to find out! The pace is breakneck and the tone is intense with an action and character oriented storyline that has some steamy scenes. The...

Like all of the Argeneau Novels the storyline was excellent. It was intriguing, and was hard to put down. Great interaction with the characters. Definitely had romance and humor off the charts. I don't know how this author manages to have each of the novels totally different but familiar in a good way. I loved this book. I recommend it and the entire series. ) One person found this helpful

I love this series, but I feel like the last couple of books have just been rambling along. Story lines have gone a little stagnant. ) 2 people found this helpful
