Night 10 belongs to a creature not from old legends, but from the shadowed stacks of Growls & Grimm itself.
The Night Reader slips between bookshelves when the world goes quiet, lantern in hand, eyes glowing like embers caught in ink.
They read the thoughts we leave unfinished… the wishes we don’t admit… and the endings we hope for in the dark.
A guardian of stories.
A collector of secrets.
A witness to who we become in winter.

Tonight’s Tale:
Some say The Night Reader appears only during the longest nights of the year. When December deepens and the wind howls against the windows, they wander from home to home, checking on those who bury themselves in books to escape the cold.
If you’re awake past midnight with a story in your lap, you may feel them watching — not with malice, but with curiosity.
Do you read to forget?
Do you read to feel?
Do you read to unravel?
The Night Reader always knows.
And if your tastes skew dark… they know that, too.
Tonight’s Books:
The Naughty & Nice Duet by Alta Hensley
A set of unhinged, obsessive stalker romances made for those who enjoy their winter reading a little twisted, a little dangerous, and very “do not read after midnight unless you want to feel watched.”
He Knows When You’re Awake
Here
A vow set on fire. A rescue turned obsession. A man who would burn the world down to keep what’s his.
“I will burn down the world to get her back… and it will be in time for Christmas.”
He Sees You When You’re Sleeping
Here
A Christmas wish turned fixation. A stalker who thinks devotion is destiny.
“She’s my Christmas wish come true. And I’m hers. She just doesn’t know it yet.”
Perfect picks for the creature who sees every book you reach for in the dark.
