3 stars – I liked it

It’s Halloween and Chan is hosting a party at Harrison’s newly inherited bookshop. While Tristan is looking forward to having fun with his husband and friends he doesn’t expect to be overrun with fairy tale creatures. 

This was a fun and a bit ridiculous Halloween story. The gang is always getting into trouble and this time it involves the book Gospodar, which is the master copy of all fairy tale stories. I was very amused by all the fairy tale creatures and people that Tristan and the gang had to deal with, especially since some of them were stuck in amusing costumes.  

Chan really gets all protective in this and I really love him. He is one of my favorites from this series and I just love seeing him kick ass, along with his boyfriend Death. Also we get to meet new gods in this one and I wonder if we will be seeing them again because I want to know more now. 

Overall, this was short and amusing. I am interested in seeing what will happen next with everyone since we get a hint of future danger in the bookshop. Also I want to know if Danny will continue with his toxic job.
