#Review – Gaping Wound by Meera Masen

Caden always knew that he was different and now he would stop at nothing to match who he is on the outside with who he is on the inside. With a mother who doesn’t share his ideologies, Caden begins research on the deep dark web, looking up do-it-yourself gender reassignment surgeries.

This is a splatterpunk/extreme horror story. If you are not familiar with the genre, please note that this is extremely dark and twisted.

This story instantly hurt my heart. To not have the support from your parent where you have to take things upon yourself in the most drastic way. I know this is just a book but I also know that so many people in the world, feel exactly like this character does. I also wonder just how many people do these kinds of things on their own. This was my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more. This story is extreme and has several triggers. It made me wince and take deep breaths at times. Which is saying something, given the books I’ve read in the past year. Most of all, I loved that Delilah is finally happy. But oy, what a way to find that happiness. Makes me sad that she had to go through all of that.

#Review – Tapewyrmin’: An Extreme Horror Short by Judith Sonnet

Clyde thinks he’s in luck when the hottest babe on campus starts asking after him . . .
Until he’s confronted by her ex. A jock, who claims that Amira isn’t all she seems to be. And that getting her into bed . . . might not be a great idea.
Ignoring his warnings, Clyde meets up with Amira, hoping to have some fun.
But he quickly learns that something unnatural is going on inside Amira’s body.
Something . . . inhuman.

WARNING: This is an extreme horror short. If you don’t like crude content or gore . . . don’t read this story.

This book was gross in the best of ways. I just love the way Judith always comes up with something utterly disturbing in her stories and makes it awesome.

So we meet Clyde who is nothing super special. He’s not popular and only okay looking. He can’t get the ladies either.

After an unexpected encounter with a popular and beautiful girl, his world takes a turn for…the better? I guess it depends on how you look at it. 

This book is a short and super quick read and doesn’t disappoint in the odd department.

#Review – 100% Match by Patrick C. Harrison III

“What The One Minute Manager was to business, 100% Match is to relationships.” -PC3 Books

Bart is thirty. He is bald. He is overweight. He wears glasses. He is a fry cook. He hates cats. And kids. Bart occasionally does very bad things. He is looking for his perfect match. He has done his research.

“Depraved, deranged, and blackly hilarious. PC3 does what he does best here, and doesn’t hold back. I suspect 89.3% of you will love this story. The other 10.7% are humorless prudes.” -Chris Miller, author of Dust and Dub-Town Blues

“Vile, repulsive, and smart, with a kick-in-the-ass ending. You know, all the stuff we’ve come to love about PC3” -Rayne Havok, author of Necrosis

“Get ready to squirm, cringe, and maybe even laugh! Patrick C. Harrison III’s prose is as slick as it is sick, and 100% Match is one you won’t want to miss. Especially if you’re deranged and looking for love.” -Judith Sonnet, author of No One Rides for Free

“If you like your fiction sick and twisted, this one will be a 100% match for you. PC3 gives us a glimpse into the mind of the truly depraved, and despite the nature of spending time in such a nasty headspace, the story is entertaining as hell. Just don’t read it on a full stomach.” -Robert Essig, author of The Circus Oasis and Tweaker Creatures

Ok this book was so much fun and so random at times, that I couldn’t stop laughing and thinking “WTF am I reading?”

We meet Bart who is trying to find his perfect lady and 100% match. We find out his daily routine and how he lives his life. The things he does, are vile and disgusting at times. The scenes aren’t in the greatest detail but the way the author wrote them, it almost makes it seem worse. It’s like he wrote it in a way that you’re forced to use your imagination and if yours is anything like mine, that’s not a good thing.

I really enjoyed this book and it’s the first I read by this author, so I’ll definitely be picking up more from him. I also absolutely loved the twist at the end.

This book was so entertaining and one I won’t stop thinking about. Oh and I’m never eating a fast food place again.

#Review – Vasectomy by R.J. Powell

Scott has an appointment for a vasectomy. Dr. Mudgett has other plans in mind.
Reader discretion is advised.

******
“R.J. Powell returns with a story that is sure to leave you wincing in pain and second guessing your next medical procedure. The stuff of nightmares.” – John Lynch, Author of The Warrior Retreat

Other books by R.J. Powell include Dollface, Madness in Tandem, and Eight Cases of Jane.

Well this was fun in a painful disturbing kind of way. So I know there’s such a thing as medical voyeurism on the dark web, but I’ve never actually read a book about it. Until now.

Scott is going in for a standard procedure. After his wife had their twins, they decided they shouldn’t have anymore kids, so Scott is getting a vasectomy. Seems pretty normal, right? 

Much to Scott’s dismay, the procedure does not go like he thought it would. 

After some hardships and money issues, Scott’s wife takes it upon herself to use him to get paid. In quite unconventional ways.

This was a quick extreme little reason that I read in a single sitting.

#Review – Dollface by R.J. Powell/Ryan J. Powell

Papa has his victims, but Dollface holds his heart. His perfect little Dolly. Now, she’s awake and ready to seek revenge for all she was forced to witness and endure. *TW: Contains SA

***
Other works by the Author include Madness in Tandem and Eight Cases of Jane.

I came across a TikTok video about this book and without even listening to the whole thing, I instantly added this book to my KU library and read it in one sitting.

This little story is short, disgusting and so much fun.

We meet Papa who is a monster. Literally. From the things he does to his victims, the ages of said victims, and how he treats them, his final outcome was far too soft for him if you ask me.

Papa has a doll, Dollface, and she is his everything. Until she isn’t.

With the help of Dollface, Rebecca is able to seek her revenge. But what lengths do these two actually go through to avenge all of Papa’s victims?

If you like extreme horror, I suggest picking this one up! There are possibly triggers in this, so please read with caution.

#Review – Slay All The Way (Silent Frights Book 1) by Nova Kane

SLAY ALL THE WAY

Santa’s got a new suit, and it’s stained with blood.

Killer clown, killer clown,

Stalking through the snow,

Ribbons tight, silent night,

Nowhere left to go.

Killer clown, killer clown,

On his blood-red sleigh,

You can’t escape his twisted shape,

You’re all his to slay.

Blood-red bows, icy toes,

Underneath the tree,

With twisted glee, you’ll never be free,

His gift to you is he.

This is my favourite book by Nova Kane so far! I was intrigued by Johnny when we first meet him in the Cirque Du Desir books. But by the end of book 2, I had to know more about this psycho clown.

I read Slay All The Way in a single sitting and stayed up way later than I originally intended. I love a good reading session like that!

So we meet Alaska, who is trying to salvage things between her and her boyfriend Mark. He’s a tool by the way. But Alaska is getting no where. All while this is happening, she feels like she’s being watched. I wonder by who? 😉

Johnny is obsessed and is determined to make Alaska his. When they finally cross paths, it’s off the charts HAWT. While I was reading, I kept thinking, I know I probably shouldn’t like Johnny but I really truly do. Clearly there’s something wrong with me. Especially after he leaves Alaska a present.

I can’t wait to binge the rest of Nova’s books and to read every single thing she releases. 

She definitely has a new fan for life!

#Review – Maison De Fous (Cirque Du Désir Book 2) by Nova Kane

Sequel to A La Folie

This is a PITCH BLACK EROTIC HORROR. Please mind the trigger warnings.


Are you ready for the show to begin?

Cirque Du Desir : The Dark Harvest – A Night of chaos, carnage and contentment.

Coming soon to a town near you.

Holy moly this was sick, twisted, disgusting and depraved and I loved every bit of it!

We are back with our lead couple, Indie and Lux, who run Cirque Du Desir. They are the King and Queen and everyone knows it.

We’re also introduced to Johnny a little bit as well and I have to say and I can’t believe I’m saying this especially when you read about him, but I was very happy whenever I read his chapters. So much so that I can’t wait to read his Christmas book. Johnny and Christmas doesn’t sound like it should go together.

This book is everything you could ask for in a horror erotica. Between lots of bloodshed, super hot intense times, and moments that make you question on why you like it, it’s definitely a must read if you enjoy the darker side of things.

When Lux, Indie, Johnny and the rest of the cirkies, create a night they hoped for and more, things take a twisted unhinged turn.

Please note that this book is NOT for the faint of heart but I can’t wait to see what’s next for our King and Queen!

#Review – Spunky (The DNF Series, #1) by Haley Tyler

If your book boyfriend came to life, would you do anything to keep him?

Of course you would.

And I would too.

Ian and I only have 72 hours together before he disappears back into his book, and the only way to keep him with me forever? True love’s j*zz. That’s right. I need all the creamy, spunky goodness he has to offer. And I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make him mine forever, even if that means marrying a fictional man.

Ok this book was awesome! I came across it in a book group I’m in and boy am I ever glad I decided to give it a shot. It’s so cringe and off the wall but I loved it! It was definitely a nice break from the heavy stuff I’ve been reading and writing. AND it’s a nice change and takes you out of life stuff in general.

So we meet Lyric (I love this name by the way), who is desperate to find her true love but she doesn’t think it’ll ever happen.

After speaking with her friend who gives her a way to make her book boyfriend come to life, she does it and it works! But there’s a catch. They don’t have long together. So she has to do whatever she can to make sure they can stay together forever.

The descriptive word choices for…uh…things had me rolling. I couldn’t stop laughing. But at the same time, it was also super hot.

This book is short and filthy, with the most asinine ways you could ever think of to describe things and I absolutely loved every bit of it.

#Review – Scream For Us: A Dark Halloween Novella (Order Of The Unseen #0.5)

*Top 30 Amazon best seller*
*Best of Booktok*

Good girl Quinn didn’t expect her night to turn to mayhem once she stepped into a legendary Halloween party. After needing a quick rescue from a stranger, she finds herself locked in a captivating game of infatuation with three masked men. Her one demand? The game ends at dawn.

As desire collides with danger, how much can Quinn take before the sun comes up? Will her condition of only one night be enough? Or will her masked men leave their mark?

DISCLAIMER:
This novella contains little to no plot.
For the longer version with plot, please proceed to Bloodshed.

Reading this novella is not required in order to read the rest of the series.

Scream For Us contains mature and graphic content that is not suitable for all audiences. This is a Dark Romance/Thriler/Horror, Why Choose Novella. Please check trigger warnings at the beginning of the book before proceeding.

Oh boy this book was fun. I’ve been on a Halloween dark romance kick and I’m so glad I came across this one. What’s better than one masked man? Three!

Quinn is a good girl and ends up at a Halloween party. She meets three men all wearing masks of serial killers from famous horror movies. Ghostface, Jason and Michael. She meets Ghost first and he protects her from the very start.

She vows to only have one night with him, which ends up being the three of them. Why choose right?

I’m sure she feels like she’s gotten in a little over her head, especially when the guys find out that she was bullied and hurt by people a few years before. Bloodshed happens but that doesn’t stop Ghost and Quinn from…um…enjoying themselves.

If you’re looking for a novella about three hot masked men, a heroine who brings them to their knees and basically no plot but all the smut, this one is for you. And better yet, it’s centred around Halloween! Best holiday ever!

I will definitely be reading the rest of this series. I’m dying to know what these guys are about, where they come from and why they are the way they are.

#Review – No Place To Hide: A Dark Romance Novella (Havoc’s Playground Book 1) by Harper Ashley & Wren Hawthorne 

Blair
All I wanted was one night.
A simple night of fun with my friends at the carnival.
I didn’t know I’d spend it learning things I never knew about myself.
Every twist and turn of our game brings us deeper into our desires.
But what’s a little pain if it’s mixed with unimaginable pleasure?

Jackson
All I wanted was one night.
A simple night of peace doing my job.
I didn’t know I’d spend it pushing the boundaries with a girl I just met.
The stakes get higher the longer the game goes on.
For the first time in my life, will only one night be enough?

No Place To Hide contains mature and graphic content that is not suitable for all audiences. Please check the content warnings at the front of the book before proceeding.

Oh man, now this is the book I’ve been needing to pull me out of whatever this slump thing is that I have going on here.

While this was a novella, it felt like it was longer. The authors did a fantastic job of that. Sure, I want more but that’s only because I’m greedy. *cough cough* Jackson. *cough cough*

So we meet Blair who is at a carnival and is looking for some fun. She needs some changes from her regular good girl life. She no longer wants to be this picture perfect princess.

Well…in comes Jackson to save the day.

Jackson works at the carnival and is this quiet, grumpy, ex-con. When these two meet, the sparks fly instantly.

Things quickly heat up and they end up playing a game of Hide & Seek. Sounds super innocent right?

This is definitely one of the hottest novellas I’ve ever read and I really can’t wait for book 2 to this. I need to know what happens.

This novella, although it’s short, does come with some possible triggers, so please read with caution. Your mental health matters.

Also, I read this novella just before Halloween, so it fit the season perfectly.
