Description
Description
New York Times bestselling author Lauren Willig returns with What Happens at Nightfall, a delightfully Gothic romantic adventure, complete with a little bit of demon-hunting.
In the sprawling Gothic expanse of Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery, some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Recently laid off and searching for purpose, Jess reluctantly joins her best friend on a supposedly fun nighttime cemetery tour. Separated from her group by accident, she discovers a bunch of terrified boys and a strange, ancient key. Both lead to Green-Wood's surprisingly handsome resident arborist, Adam Chervinsky.
Recently widowed, Adam has more to protect than the leafy residents of Green-Wood. His children, still dealing with the loss of their mother, are acting strangely. A haunting is afoot, and Jess seems to know more than she's letting on. Sparks fly between Jess and Adam--and the unquiet spirits of Green-Wood rise from their century-long slumber.
As Jess and Adam delve deeper into the cemetery's haunted history, they uncover a Gilded Age curse, a ghostly socialite, and a demonic pact that stretches across generations. What lies hidden in the Green-Wood's splendid Vanderwilt mausoleum? As the line between the living and the dead blurs, and the shadows of Green-Wood begin to stir with malevolent intent, Jess must confront not only the supernatural forces but a shocking connection to the past if she and Adam truly want to live happily ever after.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"A wild and wonderful ride.... A little bit spooky and a whole lot of fun." - Laura Hankin, author of One-Star Romance
"Mystery, history, and demons, oh my! Lauren Willig's latest novel is an enormously clever romp. At times humorous and poignant, the witty and sometimes snarky banter of the main players along with breath-catching plot hangers at the end of each chapter will keep the reader (and taphophiles) turning pages. From the vivid descriptions of cemetery statuary to the charming central romance and everything in between, I loved every page." - Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of That Last Carolina Summer and The Lady on Esplanade
"Exactly the book I needed to read--with a delicious mix of humor, horror, Gothic romance and ghosts, this book is an absolute winner. Lauren Willig has written a Gothic romp that is both laugh-out-loud funny and just creepy enough. I loved it." - Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author of of The Me I Used to Be
"A beautifully crafted paranormal romance that doubles as love letter to the history and people of New York City. [...] Rich with historical detail, Willig's rendering of Green-Wood brims with secrets, spookiness, and sparks. It's an undeniably fun ride." - Publishers Weekly
"Wielding a delectably sharp sense of wit in the Noel Coward Blithe Spirit mode and crafting a gloriously gothic, ardently autumnal plot that rivals the supernatural novels of Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels, Willig's latest bewitching novel delivers all the goose-bumpy thrills and romantic chills readers desire. Bonus points are awarded to Willig for her clever nods to mystery classics and the deft manner in which the love story deals with grief, guilt, and the challenges of parenting." - Booklist (starred review)
"A great read for those who like paranormal, second-chance romance, historical details, and humorous moments. It could be the most entertainingly romantic walk in a cemetery readers will ever take." - Library Journal (starred review)
"Lauren Willig expertly blends romance, mystery and history in this spooky love story centered on Brooklyn's legendary Green-Wood Cemetery." - BookPage
