A Halloween Hookup is book #3.6 in the Page Turners series by Jennie Marts. This is the third one of this series that I have read, out of order of course. The first word that pops into my head after just having finished this is delightful. Because that is just what this novella was!
Jerry Finney owns his own private detective agency, Finney Investigations, in Pleasant Valley, Colorado. It’s Halloween and Finn plans to spend his evening at home watching whatever game is on. But when he goes in to work that day, he discovers that his office has been completely ransacked. As well as the neighboring office.
Zia or Madame Zia is a psychic. Her shop deals in crystals, herbs and anything else she can use to help her clients, to heal them. She calls herself a white witch. She and Finn have passed in the hallway often but have never spoken. She got the impression that he was boring and he assumed she was a bit crazy. But when Zia finds her office trashed as well, they must join forces to figure out who, or what did this!
Finn and Zia’s day just kept getting crazier. They have a stake out to try to catch their ghost but it’s a stake out unlike any Finn has ever been on. One with colorful pillows, pumpkin spice lattes and cupcakes. But something else happens on that Halloween night. They both realize that they had assumed wrong about each other. Maybe it was the spirits at work but they both let down their inhibitions. There just might have been some pretty hot kisses on that stake out as well!
This was short but oh so much fun. I don’t know how Jennie got me to fall in love with these two so quickly. And what a crazy night it was. Complete with bad guys, dead bodies, ghosts, crazy old neighbors, and so much more. I have to admit, these two were pretty darn hot as well!
If you enjoy a fun sexy holiday themed read, then this is for you. You should check out the rest of the series as well. Thanks for making me smile, Jennie Marts. I enjoyed this so much! Happy Halloween!
I am attending an author event in a few months and this author, Jennie Marts will be there. I had not read anything she wrote previously and want to, before I had the opportunity to meet her.
I enjoyed the author’s writing style, wit and plot very much. This was a fun novella. I was able to become fully involved in the story, even though this novella is #3.6 (after the third book in the series).
I very much want to read more from this author.
I loved this! Grumpy PI Finn and Curvy witch Zia were great together. It takes a good witch to turn a jaded man and Zia did just that. The side characters were awesome and made me laugh out loud at times. I’m not usually one to read cozy mystery romance novels, but I will read more of Jennie Marts this was so enjoyable.
