Summerween by Joss Wood

Halloween Town · Book 1 of 3

Welcome to Solstice Springs - where Halloween lasts all year, pink skeletons wear beachwear and the ghosts might be real.

Wren Dunlop has a simple plan for the summer: hide from viral infamy, drink rosé by the lake and avoid men forever.

Her part-time witch godmother has other ideas.

Soon Wren is teaching dance for the town's Summerween spectacular in a studio that may be haunted. Solstice Springs is bursting with bonfires, supernatural rumours and the kind of cosy small-town chaos that makes disappearing into the background impossible.

Then there is Dane Trafford, the mysterious newcomer she is trying very hard not to notice. Forced into each other's orbit, friendship begins to shift through slow-burning attraction, midnight confessions and wishes made beside the fire.

As Wren confronts the embarrassment she came to escape, she and Dane discover that the town's most powerful magic might not be supernatural at all. Blending romcom warmth with witchy atmosphere, spice and year-round Halloween charm, Summerween is a playful escape for readers who want autumn vibes in the middle of summer.

"Summerween feels like someone trapped Gilmore Girls, Halloweentown, and a deeply horny summer vacation inside a pumpkin spice margarita shaker and just started free-pouring." - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review

"Cozy chaos is my jam, and this book is absolutely packed with it!" - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reader Review

"The best romcoms are the ones set in places so wonderfully strange that you finish the book wanting to pack your bags."
