Tagline: Halloween-obsessed Mandy had given up hope of finding her spooky soulmate until a chance run-in at a local store changes her haunting fate.
Observations: This story was adorable! First of all, the author does a great job of getting us in the halloween mood and giving us some real insight into the heroine and her love of Halloween. I don't know about you, but I really felt for Mandy and hoped she would find someone who shared her love for that holiday. It's hard enough finding someone compatible, let alone zeroing in on one particular passion.
I liked that the hero had a sense of humor...
He was dressed as a vampire and was just as swoon-worthy as one. His name tag said: JOSH.
"Thanks," Mandy said. "Great costume[,] Josh!"
"Oh, it's not a costume."
Seeing their surprised faces, he said conspiratorially, "It really is, but if I had my way, I'd wear a costume every day!"
The black moment was poignant to me. I felt the disappointment along with Mandy (even though I knew he'd be there at the end.) And I really liked the ending, forecasting the next Halloween which, if all went well, would include a wedding!

I loved this story. The Halloween theme was awesome and the characters were so cutely WWish.
