From author Fleur DeVillainy, author of Spellbound Scones and Sky of Thorns comes a new fall romance full of laughter, magic, and pumpkin spice lattes.

For Evie Hawthorne, Halloween is the busiest season of the year. Guests are piling into her family’s haunted bed-and-breakfast, her aunts are up to their usual matchmaking tricks, and the resident ghosts are feeling extra mischievous. The last thing she needs is romance.

But when a rugged jaguar shifter checks in and accidentally gets mistaken for her boyfriend, Evie seizes the chance to silence the gossip. All they have to do is fake a relationship until Halloween passes—but nothing in Moon Hollow ever goes according to plan.

Between midnight ghost hunts, enchanted pumpkin patches, and one too many “pretend” kisses, Evie and Liam find themselves caught in a whirlwind of autumn magic. And as Halloween draws near, they’ll have to decide if their love story is only for show… or the beginning of something truly magical.

Potions and Paw Prints is a standalone novella in The Witches of Pumpkin Hollow, an autumn-inspired series of interconnected paranormal romances. Each book centers on a different witch living in the same magical small town, with every story written by a different author, bringing together a coven of voices to tell tales of love, magic, and pumpkin-spiced mischief.

A cozy supernatural town with the annual pumpkin festival, a jaguar shifter detective, a witch running a B&B and a mystery where family heirlooms are getting stolen. Fleur DeVillainy really has a talent for these quick and cozy paranormal romances and I’m eating them up. I really enjoyed Liam and Evie as characters and though this is a novella, their personalities were very defined and clear. I did find myself wanting a bit more from some side characters such as her aunts but absolutely loved the ghosts and their interactions with Evie and Liam. This was perfect for the fall/Halloween season and I will definitely be checking out the other novellas in the series.

Happy reading!
