Turns out the scariest thing about Halloween isn't the haunted house—it's risking my heart

After my abduction, I swore nobody would manipulate me again. Complete honesty? Non-negotiable. So when I'm assigned to guide the awkward Volscian warrior Khatak through our Halloween festivities, I'm ready to keep my walls firmly up.

Instead, he's adorably terrible at everything—massacring pumpkins, screaming in haunted houses, and looking at me like I'm the only person in the galaxy. His inability to hide his feelings is dangerously attractive, and for the first time since my abduction, I feel safe enough to let my guard down.

The problem? Everyone at this hotel has secrets. Can anyone really be this genuine, or am I walking straight into my worst nightmare—falling for someone with a hidden agenda?

"Oh No, I Carved A Pumpkin And Kissed an Alien Diplomat" is a humorous, heartwarming sci-fi romance set in the "At The Alien Hotel" series. Expect Halloween hijinks, adorable alien confusion, and a possessive mate who proves vulnerability is the ultimate strength. Get ready for carved pumpkins, haunted houses, and a love worth the risk.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

10/10

I have loved every book in this series so far and was excited to see a new book released and am happy to say it met my high expectations for a fun and entertaining story. The Halloween aspects of this story were a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting to know both Khatak & Selene in this story as well as getting to see more of the human girls at the hotel. This book can be read as a standalone since each book features a different couple. I hope to read many more books set at the Alien Hotel in the future.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
