Description from the publisher:
What happens when Loki falls for the one woman immune to his charms?

Val has spent the last hundred years doing two things, protecting Princess Sutrelle of Muspelheim from her father, and hating the Norse Gods who forced her and her Valkyrie sisters to fight in Ragnarök.

When she meets the God of Mischief at a Speed Dating event, the last thing she intends to do is fall for the man-whore, woman-using, Trickster God. But getting away from Loki isn’t as easy as she had hoped because despite him being irritating, vain, and stubborn, he’s also kind, understanding, and hotter than Hell itself.

Val has a decision to make—let go of the past and embrace what could be a fantastic future with a sexy, rich playboy God, or settle for someone that the Fates didn’t have in mind for her and save her heart from the possibility of the heartbreak of a lifetime.

Loki is book seventeen in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld shared world, filled with angst, revenge, arrogant trickster Gods, strong-willed warrior women, and more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LOKI is the seventeenth book in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld series.  They will each stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading them all.
 
I loved it. The ending is so beautiful. It's the kind where I just close my eyes, smile, and bask in the love between Loki and Val! I especially loved that it parallels Thor's story AND sets us up to expect Fenrir's!

HOODWINKED AT HALLOWEEN by Rebekah R. Ganiere

Title:  HOODWINKED AT HALLOWEEN
Series:  Otherworlder #4
Author:  Rebekah R. Ganiere
Publisher:  Samhain Publishing, Ltd.
Publish Date:   10.06.2022
Category /Genre:  Paranormal Romance
Recommended for:  18+
Grammar/editing:  book received as an unedited ARC copy/ errors excused

Goodreads link:  Hoodwinked at Halloween
Date completed: 10.11.2022
 
Description from the publisher:
She's the Outcast no one wants - until they get into trouble.
 
Raine’s a Fae with no magic. Banished to live among “Mundanes” in the Human world she works as a Private Investigator for Otherworlders. But when she, Jordan, and Sam wake up on the stage, in the main tent of a mysterious, magical traveling Carnivale they can’t leave- she has some work to do.
 
Raine is tasked with figuring out what is wrong with the Carnivale. Why have women gone missing? Who is stealing from the Carnies? And most of all- why has the Carnivale not been able to move out of the secret grove for over two months.
 
Time is short for Raine as provisions in the Carnivale are down to the bottom of the barrel, and the carnies are ready to turn on her if she can’t figure out the problem fast. But it's not easy for Raine to concentrate on the problem when a sexy hot tigeress shifter has her sights on Jordan- and she's willing to go to any lengths to get him for herself.
 
Hoodwinked at Halloween is a fun, lighthearted Paranormal Mystery for those who love Kristen Painter's Nocturne Falls and Jayne Frost Series.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HOODWINKED AT HALLOWEEN is the fourth book in the Otherworlder series.  They will each stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.
 
This series gets better with every book.  I love Jordan’s devotion to Raine and the way it is emphasized when a were-tigress is presented, but he still has eyes only for his Raine.

  The snarky dialogue between the chihuahua sized dragon, Sam, and his “parents” is adorable and belly-laugh-able. The situations are unique.  This series never feels like the same old, same old and I enjoy every page of reading.
 
Our next holiday adventure will be New Years Eve.  I hope we never run out of holiday ideas for Raine and her family of loveable misfits.

DEAD AWAKENINGS by Rebekah R. Ganiere

Title:  DEAD AWAKENINGS

Description from the publisher:
Being dead can be a great way to find yourself…
 
Struggling to pay her bills in New York, theater student Evaine Michaels sees an opportunity to make money by taking part in an unsanctioned clinical trial for a new drug. But things don’t go as planned. She wakes up in a derelict hospital, chained to a bed with no memory of who she is or how she got there. Then a band of pale-skinned men, led by the gorgeous Luca, bursts in and rescues her. Evaine is instantly attracted to Luca, but he’s so hell-bent on stopping the experiments, he has no time for the feelings she’s awakening within him.
 
Safely back at Haven House, Evaine is introduced to The Family and learns that the drug trials have made her a Deader, a reanimated Undead. Evaine and Luca find themselves getting close, until Evaine remembers not only who she is, but that she’s engaged. And her fiancé, Tristan, is probably still looking for her. Torn between her first love and her new heart’s desire, Evaine has some hard choices to make. But when a rogue faction of Deaders, called Feeders, attempt to kidnap her, Luca suspects Evaine might be the key to the experiments, and everyone must band together to keep Evaine off the cutting table…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DEAD AWAKENINGS is a stand-alone story.  However, I think it needs to be the beginning of a series!
 
I don’t like zombie stories.  Especially after living through the recent pandemic!  Life is hard enough without adding in real-life flesh-eaters or blood-suckers or…
 
However, I loved this story.  It grabbed me from the beginning.  It is action-packed, romantic, full of friendships, and suspenseful.  There were times I felt like maybe I missed a prequel, but then I thought, “you’re not stupid, put the pieces together!” 
 
There is a HEA/HFN ending.  It could end here and be complete, but the ending is like life… it’s open to more.
