Nocturne Falls is a town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year. It’s just a show for the tourists to hide the fact that vampires, werewolves, and witches, live there. So when Griffin Dunlap (New York code enforcement officer) ininherits two cottages in Nocturne Falls, he heads to Georgia to get them sold because the down payment is due soon on the town house he wants in Brooklyn. Stevie Mercer (witch and cat rescuer) is just beside herself at the thought of losing her cottage. She’s put so much of herself and improvements into the place to create a spot for her meditation classes.
And what will happen to all the cats? She’s desperately trying to ignore how drawn she is to this good looking man, in a sexy Clark Kent kinda way.
As Griffin spends more and more time getting to know the goddess like beauty next door, the more he’s drawn to her… but (having been wiped out by divorce) he really needs to sell. So when a persistent investor makes him a good offer, he’s ready to go for it until some weird and strange things start to happen and the investor, being superstitious starts to have second thoughts. Griffin believes there must be a logical explanation. He can’t accept Stevie’s paranormal ideas. But as things escalate, Griffin is forced to admit that maybe they need a little help.
Stevie called her cousin Bree to come hold a séance which will hopefully clear things up.
And what about Stevie and Griffin? Well….
Bree also has some pretty exciting news about
The Freedom Moon camp in Florida…..
