The Shadowheart Curse by @KarilynBentley1 is a Trick or Treat Book Bonanza Pick #paranormalromance #


Title: The Shadowheart Curse

Author: Karilyn Bentley

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Book Blurb:

Escaping New York after a client’s untimely death, medium Adrianna Sinclair flees to her family property in Italy. All she wants is to avoid ghosts, but an attractive one tempts her in ways she never knew possible. Luca Fausto has been trapped on the Romani property for over a century for a crime he didn’t commit. Adrianna may be the answer to breaking the curse that keeps him bound. Standing in their way is a demonic spirit's plan for revenge. Will they prevail or will Luca be cursed to the shadows forever?

Excerpt:

Lights drew her attention to the opposite wing of the mill, where a man stood staring at her window. At her. Breath caught in her lungs as she froze.

But only for a brief moment until she realized it wasn’t a man, at least not a living one. Her breath escaped on a whoosh of relief. Intuition whispered the man was the spirit who’d watched her last night.

The one from her dream.

Shadows clung to his body, ghostly fingers releasing as he stepped into the dim slash of moonlight. Lights flickered from behind him, like the dying gasps of sputtering candles. Dressed in a white shirt with an old-fashioned high collar, sleeves rolled halfway up his forearms, and dark trousers, he reminded her of a working man in a World War I photograph. As if he had removed his coat and tie and rolled up his sleeves to get to work.

Except the men in those photos didn’t sport the wide-eyed, happy look of this man. Ghost. Whatever. Yeah, he wasn’t the only one surprised. She’d sworn never to see a ghost again, yet there stood a ghost, captured by her gaze. The man was hot, in an old-fashioned way. At least he didn’t sport a handle-bar moustache.

He gestured to her, his hand beckoning in a “come here” motion.

She squeezed the bridge of her nose. Was she actually thinking of heading his way? Judging by the way her feet pointed toward the door, she’d already decided. Dammit. She might not want to see a ghost or speak to a spirit, but past experience told her if she ignored them, they ramped up the annoying factor.

How bad could it be to talk to an attractive spirit?

If you could dress up as anything or anyone this Halloween, what or who would it be and why?

A witch with a pointy hat and red striped socks. To me, the witch personifies Halloween and is a fun character to dress up as. Also, I've always dressed up as a witch, even as a child. It's my go-to costume!

Explain why your featured book is a treat to read:

It's a paranormal romance featuring a ghostly hero. What else could you ask for on Halloween? <grins> But the really neat thing about my book is that it will be turned into a movie on 2/14/20. And you can livestream the making of the movie! Go to https://deadlyten.com for more information. Certain scenes in the book were written based on the director's idea for how it would look in his movie. It was a lot of fun to write and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie!
