A Halloween urban fantasy written to be humorous and entertaining, like Halloween itself.
It is Halloween and demons are invading West Hollywood’s Carnival. Also known as the Parade, it is the largest Halloween event in the world. The Bikini Girls, a team of bikini models and part-time crime fighters, are summoned to investigate and fight the demons. More spoof than spooky, the story is a treat with a few tricks and a fireworks show thrown in to make for a good Halloween read.
