About this ebook

The party is supposed to be all in good fun…until a killer shows up uninvited.

Halloween has been Ariana’s favorite holiday since she was little, and this year is no different. As she plans a huge neighborhood bash, things take a drastic turn when her friend Bella shows up, scared for her life.

Ariana and Damon never turn away someone in trouble, but this time it might put them in harm’s way. They do their best to keep Bella hidden, but the unhinged murderer won’t give up his search. And he’s getting closer.

Bella promised she would stay away from the Halloween party, but the festivities prove too much of a temptation. Surely nobody would recognize her if she wore a mask… Except the killer would know her anywhere, in any disguise.

Will Ariana and Damon be able to protect their friend and save their own lives?

Ratings and reviews

Another great story from Stacy! Besides Arianna and Damon, she has added more wonderful characters to love and several others to dislike! In true Mercer family fashion, this book has its share of drama and turmoil. It keeps you immersed and quickly turning the pages to the climatic ending! I highly recommend you give it a read!

Belle has just been bought by Ned. She is disgusted by his lascivious behavior and decides to run away. The one place she can go to is her sister’s, Rita. Rita was able to get away from the cult. She will do everything she can to protect Belle from their father and Ned. Rita ask her friends, Ariana and Damon to watch Belle. They will do everything they can to protect Belle, even at the cost to themselves. Ariana is holding a Halloween party and Elle is set on attending it. I recd arc, review.
