The Hallows Are Monstrous

Starless | Endless | Darkest | Sharpest: Book 3.5

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

Haunted libraries, book heists, dark academia romance, and shadows that bite back.

Werewolves at nine.

A Yeti at ten.

And vampires hit the floor at midnight.

At Loyola’s Halloween masquerade, Rue and her friends expect music, laughter, and a chance to steal an ancient book from the library all beneath the glow of autumn lanterns.

Instead, the Harvest Wraith steps from the shadows, sent to claim souls. One by one, it ensnares them in illusions spun from their deepest fears and visions that threaten to unravel every bond they’ve fought to protect.

And watching it all is a sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, and thoroughly unimpressed Lucipurr, the shadowcat who knows this masquerade was never just a party.

The Hallows Are Monstrous is a gothic Halloween novella in the Veil of Shadows world, perfect for readers who crave haunted libraries, book heists, dark academia romance, and shadows that bite back.
