Description

It's always spooky season here…

Poppy McMaster was supposed to be getting married, not climbing out of a bathroom window in her wedding dress and fleeing to the only place she's ever truly felt like herself: the small town she grew up in, where Halloween lasts all year.

But when she gets there, home isn't waiting for Poppy the way she imagined. Her grandparents’ beloved inn is now owned by Thom Sheffield, who just happens to be:

her childhood hero
her ex-fiancé’s brooding older brother
and the last man on earth she should be fantasising about…

Because in a town full of pumpkins, cosy traditions, and Halloween magic, falling in love might be the most scary thing of all…

Halloween Town by Joss Wood is a charming tale of finding oneself amidst the ghosts of the past and the charm of eternal autumn.
