Readers become writers, and Christina has always been a reader. Ultimately she discovered she liked to read romance best because the relationship between a man and a woman is always humorous. A woman wants world peace, a clean house, and a deep and meaningful relationship based on mutual understanding and love. A man wants a Craftsman router, undisputed control of the TV remote, and a red Corvette which will make his bald spot disappear.
When Christina’s first daughter was born, she told her husband she was going to write a book. It was a good time to start a new career, because how much trouble could one little infant be?
Ha! It took ten years, two children and three completed manuscripts before she was published. Now her suspense, paranormal, historical, and mystery novels have been translated into 30 languages and sold more than 15 million copies in print. Praised for her “brilliantly etched characters, polished writing, and unexpected flashes of sharp humor that are pure Dodd” (Booklist), her award-winning books have landed on numerous Best of the Year lists and, much to her mother's delight, Dodd was once a clue in the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle. She lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest, where her 700 lavender plants share the yard with her husband’s various “Big Projects,” including a treehouse, zipline, and their very own Stonehenge.

Her legions of fans know that when they pick up a Christina Dodd book, they'll find the story, "Wildly entertaining, wickedly witty!"
Christina is married to a man with all his hair and no Corvette, but many Craftsman tools.

Since I had read the whole Darkness Chosen series, I thought this would be nice to read the epilogue and catch up with the whole family…… I never thought that I would have to pay a dollar for less than a chapter ……
I wish somebody would have said something about this epilogue only being like 11 or 12 pages….. This was hardly worth purchasing

Cute fluff piece - do not read until you finish the actual series.

"Wilder Family Halloween" by Christina Dodd. A short story happening at the end of the Darkness Chosen series.
So cute! It's just a really short story updating the readers about how the Wilder family is doing after having broken the curse with the devil. You get a small glimpse into what is happening with each of the Wilder sons and their wives from Konstintine's point of view. I actually laughed out loud at some parts!
So very cute. Definitely worth the read.

Wilder Family Halloween is a little story that is a continuation of the Darkness Chosen saga. There isn't much to it. It's just the entire Wilder family together for Halloween and all the cuteness involved.
Lots of family, love, and baby goodness!!
If you liked the Darkness Chosen series then you will definitely like this story.

For a short story, it was good. I love the Wilder family and getting a glimpse back into their lives was sweet, but it really is a very short story so no high expectations or you will be disappointed. Very glad it was free.
October 28, 2013
This was a nice novella and I loved seeing this family again, especially in this happy moment. Konstantine is so happy with the life and friends that Halloween is a great feast for everyone, but I loved seeing the girls again and remembering their battles.

Nice little story about the Wilder clan.
October 26, 2012
Enjoyed getting to see more into the Wilder clan. Seems like all of them has a secret to share. I really loved the costumes. It made me laugh. Short and Sweet.

It was nice to return to the Wilder family. Nice to see the family have fun on this holiday.

Cute story about the Wilders.

What a treat! I remember feeling lost after I finished the Darkness Chosen series. This short Halloween peek into the lives of the Wilder family was great.
December 27, 2014
This was a cute little Halloween themed story. I read it in about an hour or so. Just a nice extension to the series.

I know it's an epilogue, but too short.
September 11, 2016
This was a very short and cute one. It was okay for me. Just a little family gathering and happy news from each married woman.

Wonderful short story of the Wilder clan! Loved it

Really cute, extra bonus to help tie everything up in a special short story.
July 10, 2016
A few sentences, very short and sweet and everybody are having babies. YAY.
October 24, 2018
A fun little short story
Well written and fun for the Halloween season. Christina Ford gives us a teasing look at the series and I can't wait to read it!

I received a copy of Wilder from a friend and I wasn't sure I was interested in reading it. I thought I would try this short story to see if this shifter series is something I might enjoy. I was so disappointed in this story, a bunch of men dressed in stupid costumes and their wife's dressed just as badly, no mention of fierce warriors. Costumes and descriptions of a new house and food, that was the story.
October 30, 2014
Not sure exactly what I just read....
It wasn't an excerpt... it wasn't even a chapter.... more like several paragraphs describing the few minutes before guests arrive for a Halloween party...
I think the only point here is to sell books...but I didn't even get enough of the family dynamics to want to buy these books.

Free but super short, for me this was just okay but if you love babies with your HEA this is the Darkness Chosen epilog you've been waiting for.
October 27, 2012
Not much of a story--not even for a short story. Just OK.
June 15, 2013
Enjoyed this short story of the Wilder family..
December 21, 2013
Very short. If you like an epilogue that has the heroine pregnant you have it here. But that us all there is to this story.
April 26, 2018
Nothing interesting, just little simple read with everyone dressed in their costumes and the wives soon to be adding additions to the family. Read from Authors website

This is the epilogue that was missing from the final book of the series. It super short and simple. I actually wanted something more from this novella.

How can you not fall in love with this family?! I loved the entire series but truly enjoyed how easy it was to fall into the book and feel the fun of this holiday.
