Love is patient.

Love is kind.

Love will stab you from behind.

It’s Halloween night, and out-of-work writer Goldie Monroe’s trip to the drugstore scares up more than the fake blood she’s looking for. It leads to the man of her naughtiest dreams. And in spite of her costume, sparks fly from the moment they meet.

Noah Adler, aspiring sneaker designer, is impossibly gorgeous—like a tatted-up version of Goldie’s favorite blue-eyed vampire. He’s there for candy, but it’s Goldie he can’t resist. When she invites him to her sister’s F/X company bash, he’s all in without a second thought.

The pair’s flirty connection heats up fast, carrying them to electrifying new heights. But after Goldie discovers Noah is hiding a dark secret, it all starts to crumble. Looking for answers about her own past awakens new dangers, and when Goldie and Noah land at a slasher camp for adults, a deadly tragedy threatens to repeat itself. If they can survive this one killer night, they can definitely slay a happily ever after.

⤖ My Review ⬻

Trilina Pucci’s One Killer Night was a fun read overall! The writing was easy to get into from the start—it was witty, and the banter was fun. After the first 20% of the book, I slowed down a bit though because the pacing was a little slow. It took a little longer for certain things to happen as I would have liked, but I was patient, pushed through…and it was worth it!

I really liked the mix of romance and slasher themes in One Killer Night! And now that I said that, I was hit with the realization as to why the first bit of the book was a little slower, and it really makes sense…I was made to know, like, and root for the couple (and other characters) before things really kick off. Alright, my rating just changed a bit. Have you ever had “aha” moments like this while reading a review? The next book, Evil is Forever, just came out on February 10th, and I can’t wait to pick it up!
