One darkly seductive immortal’s powers of persuasion have worked flawlessly for nine centuries—until he meets the one woman who can resist him—in a wickedly hot short story by New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren.
Cat should be afraid of Brigan—the devastatingly gorgeous stranger at a Halloween party whose very presence makes everyone else fall at his feet. But while his supernatural allure drives others to mindless obsession, Cat somehow keeps her wits…even as she surrenders to temptation. When this cursed being realizes she alone can see his true nature, one night of searing passion could break a centuries-old spell—or doom them both.
Christina Lauren’s Falling is part of Scared Sexy, a deliciously dark collection of Halloween romance where things that go bump in the night might just steal your heart. These seductive stand-alone stories blend chills and heat in the perfect Halloween treat—each designed to be devoured in one sitting.
Falling was a pleasant surprise! I don’t typically like stories involving fallen angels (or angels at all, actually), but I decided to give this a go for a few reasons:
- Christina Lauren. I love them so much.
- It’s super, super short and my Goodreads 2025 reading goal could use some help.
- It’s available through Kindle Unlimited, so there was seriously no risk.
Honestly, this was way too short! The ending was abrupt, though we had only begun to scratch the surface with these two characters. I wanted more and would have happily read about 200-300 pages about them! But I really enjoyed what I got. The entire story takes place on Halloween night, when our two love interests meet at a Halloween party. Brigan is brooding in the shadows and Cat is one half of a failed couples costume situation because her walnut of a boyfriend is ridiculous. She excuses herself for some air and stumbles across Brigan. The sparks fly immediately. The chemistry between these two is intense. I was just as captivated by them as Cat was by Brigan. And Brigan. Wow. He’s got that dark, bad boy, broodiness that is so intoxicating. His backstory is super interesting and he really brought the otherworldly atmosphere, but not in a way that made me feel uncomfortable or creeped out. He’s a very loving and emotional guy. Christina Lauren… man, these authors know how to write characters and feelings. I can’t believe the punch they packed in a book that’s less than 60 pages. The writing drips with this chilly electricity that I just loved.
