Do Not Open Until Halloween by C.A. King – Review by Emma Haverstock

Do Not Open Until Halloween by C.A. King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This woman writes some of the best fantasy I’ve ever read. Do Not Open Until Halloween is no exception.
Caitlin’s Aunt tells the best stories and it wasn’t that long ago that Caitlin believed every word. The unfortunate side effect of teenage bravado has pushed those thoughts to the side and boys and school has taken over. When Petunia asks Caitlin to house sit for her on the same weekend Caitlin’s crush asks her on a date, she’s pretty torn on who to choose. Justin may never ask again if she turns him down (tragic but I don’t think he’s good enough for her) but Petunia is family and she’s already promised. What is an 18 year old to to except throw a party? The problems start when one of those creatures Caitlin doesn’t believe in anymore crashes the party and is in trouble.
King always has a way of adding to and twisting the stereotypical fantasy characters to make them new and fascinating. I will read anything this magnificent woman publishes.
