Everyone in Hollow Creek knows Lucy Bennett. She's not sure anyone has ever actually seen her.
Lucy is the sweet one. The dependable one. The girl who opens the bakery at 4:15 every morning and once got dumped for being too much like the marrying kind and not enough like the fun kind. So when the Black Veil Masquerade rolls into town, she buys a dress that isn't her, dabs on perfume that isn't her, and kisses a masked stranger on a moonlit balcony '' then runs before midnight, before either of them can take off the mask.
It's the bravest thing she's ever done. And she's certain she'll never know who he was.
Except the stranger said something on that balcony he shouldn't have known. Something that hits a little too close. Something that makes her wonder if the safest night of her life was actually the most dangerous one.
Because a mask can hide a face. It can't hide the fact that someone has been watching her — really watching her — for a long, long time.
Small towns don't keep secrets. Her best friend is starting to notice she's different. The whole town is starting to notice. And Lucy's ex is coming home for the Halloween Ball with a new fiancée and a very short memory of who broke whose heart.
Whoever was behind that mask, she's about to find out.
And it's going to change everything.
THE SWEETEST KIND OF SCARY is a cozy, swoony, small-town Halloween romance packed with pining, a masquerade you won't forget, a slow-burn secret worth every page, and the kind of happily-ever-after worth waiting for. Grab your cider, light a candle, and fall.
