From the author of heartwarming small-town romances comes a tale in which family drama makes way for unexpected blessings and deepening love.

In the heart of October, with just twenty days until the most haunting night of the year, the town of Winterwood is buzzing with excitement. From finding the perfect Halloween costumes to setting up the eeriest decorations, the anticipation grows. But beneath the layers of pumpkin spice and candy corn, family drama simmers, threatening to boil over.

Maybe entering a raffle for a dream wedding isn't the best idea when you're not even engaged. But that doesn't stop Vanessa, and it certainly doesn't please Emilio or his parents when they blame Vanessa for taking away their Texan "baby boy."

Amidst the chaos, an upstart social media influencer with a reckless streak turns Winterwood upside down with wild antics and viral challenges. Every post, every video becomes more ridiculous than the last, upping the stakes and stress level of everyone involved.

Countdown to Halloween is a delightful tale of love, laughter, and lanterns, where every tick of the clock brings a new twist, turning a quaint town's Halloween preparations into an unforgettable adventure.

This book's a reminder that even in the midst of darkness and drama, there's always a reason to celebrate. Prepare for a spirited ride full of twists, turns, and treats you won't forget!

From the Desk of Dianna Houx, Author, The Holiday Countdown Series

Dear Reader,

Halloween is such a fun holiday. It’s like Christmas’s little brother with all the decorations, costumes, and music! It felt a little soon to do another wedding, but I really thought it was fitting for the characters and the story I wanted to tell, so we’re going with it!

What happens when one half of a couple is ready to take the relationship to the next level and the other one isn’t? What happens when the parents don’t approve? I explore those questions against the backdrop of all things spooky!

Since no book would be complete without a holiday experience, we also have a new set of guests, new events, and a new character who plans to call Winterwood home. And don’t forget Shelley, our newest “Influencer” who’s willing to do anything for “likes”—and I do mean anything!

If you like Halloween, come join me for a haunting good time in Countdown to Halloween! It’s scary good!

Happy Reading!
Dianna Houx
