Since Halloween is next week, wouldn’t it be fun to plan a fantasy Halloween party with our favorite fictional characters (and by characters I mean men, because who are we kidding?) Because this is a Halloween party, I am going to limit our men to the supernatural beings. The contemporary and historical hunks are going to have to wait for the Valentine’s Day party.

First, I will have to lay down rules - all attendees will have to sign a disclaimer because I will not be responsible for any biting, clawing or ripping heads off and no shows of dominance. I will provide an assortment of beverages and snacks, as scary as that might be. Best of all, the sup’s won’t have to dress in costume because they already come with their own fangs, fur and wings. I think each character will need to be in charge of a different entertainment to keep the party going. Let’s plan the guest list with five of my favorite alpha males:

Vampire representative will be Crispin Russell aka, Bones (Jeaniene Frost Nighthuntress series) Bones loves to party, and with that English accent I could listen to him talk all night. Bones will be in charge of bobbing for apples but watch out ladies - those fangs are sharp and its hard to cover your neck when you are face first in water. Of course with the things Bones can do with those fangs, you may want him to take a bite.

Angel representative will be Raphael, (Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series.) Although Raphael is a little more on the serious side, even an archangel needs some unwind time. He will be in charge of taking guests for rides in the sky and later, if you get hot, his wings can fan you all night.

Shapeshifter representative will be Adam Hauptman (Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series.) Adam and some of his pack can come in their werewolf form and although not as docile as ponies, I think the guests may enjoy a wolf ride around the back yard. I will have to make sure there are no small animals lurking about, or you will be in for the ride of your life.

Demons representative will be Cadeon Woede (Kresely Cole‘s Immortals After Dark series). With those horns atop his head, he will be looking mighty fine indeed. Get in line girls, he has offered to stand still for a game of ring toss.

And from the unknown category - Jericho Barrons (Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series) I don‘t know what Barron‘s is but isn‘t that what we all want to find out?!? I don’t see Barron’s as much of a partier, so I think I will let him run the coat check. He can brood in a dark corner, but you know naughty things always happen in dark corners. Maybe I could coax a secret or two out of him?

Oh, this is shaping up to be a super fun party.  So tell me, who would you invite to your fantasy Halloween party?

Mandi Schreiner is a C.P.A who finds reading romance novels a much more enjoyable way to spend her time. She started Smexy Books after her husband pleaded with her to discuss romance with anyone but him. Some of her favorite authors include Karen Marie Moning, Patricia Briggs, JR Ward, Nalini Singh, Jeaniene Frost, Ilona Andrews, Josh Lanyon, Ann Aguirre and Lisa Kleypas. When she is not reading or lusting after fictional characters, she stays at home raising two future alpha males.
