Megan and Finn Douglas perform their musical act in Salem, Massachusetts hotel during Halloween week. Instead of a warm return home for Megan, who once lived here, nightmares plague her. She dreams that Finn is evil and wants to harm her. Sex after they fall asleep turns very rough and frightens Megan. At the same time, Megan hears tales about the history of Salem besides the highly publicized historical witch-hunt. She learns that at one time Satanists attempted several times to bring forth the demon Bac-Dal. Several people including her cousin warns her that Finn is evil.
Finn worries about his wife and the strange occurrences including a weird fog that engulfs them. He calls an acquaintance from New Orleans, Lucian, who arrives faster than a human could, comes to help. Lucien and his friends struggle to keep Megan and Finn safe, but against what and who are unknown.

Though ALL HOLLOW'S EVE takes time to set the cast and location, once the troubles begin, this becomes an engaging paranormal romance. The exciting tale keeps readers wondering until the final confrontation who the identity of the bad guys are. Finn and Megan are delightful protagonists and the secondary players bring life to Salem or are a well -developed part of Lucien's pack. Shannon Drake continues to display that she is one of the best authors at providing an exhilarating paranormal romantic thriller.

Quite interesting reading. Considering the mass hysteria it's amazing that only 19 people were killed during the Salem witch trials.

I loved Lizzie. Aren't Great Danes glorious?

I found the beginning of the book hardgoing but persevered beyond the 50 page limit to get to the meat of the story. Definitely too much padding in the first half but the 2nd half was good. I like the members of the Alliance.

Thanks woosang. I'll get this to amberC once I've got through the others.

Posted 8/3/6.

I have to admit, I couldn't get into this book. It just felt like the same thing was happening and being repeated over and over. I ended up giving up at page 168, and was a bit disappointed as it's the first book in years I haven't read through to the end.

Picked up from the Table of Temptation at my very first bookcrossing convention, or rather, thrust into my hands by puppymummy. Either way, glad to be at ABC2007, WOO HOO!

Well, I am another reader that had to give up even though I had managed to get to page 256. There was just so much waffle and the mistakes drove me bonkers! Twice (once could be justified as an oversight; when it happens twice, that's just really poor!), "it's" was used instead of "its", and "they're" was used instead of "their"! These were just the mistakes that I actually caught because I was only glancing through certain bits; who knows what else is there?! I also thought the story was just so... cheesy... Just how the story was framed, it came across really corny and tacky to me. I also hadn't known it involved vampires; not that I think there is anything wrong with vampire reads because I do like my supernatural books, but it just didn't feel like it fit in this context. The beginning of the book was heavily focused on the supernatural aspects (like demons, witchcraft etc.) but from the perspective that this was happening to ordinary folk. When I skipped to the end of the book to see if I should keep pushing through and read that there were vampires and werewolves involved, I thought, wtf?! That's when I knew I had to drop it. Maybe if I had continued, I would have gotten into the story but I think I've tried hard enough.
