Romance Novels for Halloween and Spine-Chilling Season

I love to read seasonally and while I’m not the biggest Halloween girl, I do this it’s fun to read one or two wtichy rom coms or spooky reads! In this list you’ll find books that are sweet and spicy, dark and light. A very popular trend I’ve found in these Halloween romances involve restoring an old hotel and a ghost hunter. Who knew!
