Kalin Asen wants to be the best fortune-teller at the infamous Bran Castle in Transylvania this Halloween. It should be a no-brainer…until she crosses paths with a sexy Russian wulfkin who just might be her soul mate. As the commander of the Russian wulfkin army, Axe Vuk takes seriously his assignment to get Bran Castle’s ownership signed over to his alpha.........Then he meets Kalin, and it’s impossible to tell if his growing attraction is a result of the spell or whether she is truly his mate.
I enjoyed this read. It was short with action, suspense, and some steamy scenes. Kalin and her pack mate are invited to an exclusive ball to tell people fortune. While there she scents other wulfkin and tracts the smell to Axe. There is an instant chemistry and connection between the two. Axe cannot tell if its the spell the party is under or if Kalin is his mate. Unfortunately things take a turn and the two end up fighting wulfkin and humans to stay alive.
While I enjoyed the book there were certain aspects that made this a 4.5 star read. There was a turn of events at the party, but it doesn't show who the culprit is. After the initial chaos they are not mentioned again. Also the story somewhat just ends. Its clear there will be a continuation, but I am not sure I felt the cliffhanger. Maybe each book will somehow be considered a stand a lone or a each book will feature a different couple, with the main story as the background. This is my first book by the author so I will need to do a little more research to see if this is a part of a series.

Halloween night means spells, spooks, and soul mates in this sexy wolf-shifter novella from a USA TODAY bestselling author.
Kalin Asen wants to be the best fortune-teller at the infamous Bran Castle in Transylvania this Halloween. It should be a no-brainer…until she crosses paths with a sexy Russian wulfkin who just might be her soul mate. But no way in hell would her fate lie with someone who wants her pack dead. Her mission morphs into a single focus: ignore her uncontrollable urges and stay alive.
As the commander of the Russian wulfkin army, Axe Vuk takes seriously his assignment to get Bran Castle’s ownership signed over to his alpha. But considering the building isn’t actually for sale, he engages a witch to hex everyone into losing their inhibitions in hopes of getting the owner to accept his offer. Then he meets Kalin, and it’s impossible to tell if his growing attraction is a result of the spell or whether she is truly his mate.
When the night takes a deadly turn and his team loses control of their inner wolves, it’s a race against time to stop them from chomping down on every human in the castle. Will Kalin and Axe survive long enough to discover the truth behind their primal passions?
