 Spirits, Hurricane, and the Krewe of Ghoul 
 Carver needs a vampire bride and who else could fit the bill other than our very own Pyper Rayne! Along with others, Pyper and Ida May have been tricked but never fear Julius is never far away. Filled with witches, ghosts, and vampires and ever entertaining, the fast-paced story kept the reader captivated. 
 I wouldn't consider the stories standalones, however they make for a quick and fantastic read. Spell of the Ball was provided by Deanna Chase for an honest review.
