#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.

#Review – Something Wicked by Jenika Snow

Being wicked never felt so good…

Born from hate and violence, Lathan knows all too well what darkness feels like. He’s centuries old, and an abomination to the supernatural world. With a vampire father who forcibly took Lathan’s werewolf mother as his own, Lathan’s hybrid genetics make him feared by all.

Abbi has no one and nothing of importance in her life, but that doesn’t stop her from living. When Lathan feeds on her and tries to use compulsion to make her forget, she realizes he isn’t just a vampire, but something altogether different. He’s also her mate.

This is a previously published work. It has been revised and edited for Evernight Publishing.

I’ve been reading mostly horror novels this year but I was in the mood for something short and hot. Gotta get those Goodreads numbers up to hit my yearly goal.

So I decided on this one by Jenika Snow. I’ve read quite a few of her books and they’re always the perfect palate cleanser between those longer books. Now that the weather is getting colder, her books are definitely what I need to keep my nights warm.

Something Wicked is about a vampire but there’s a twist. He’s also part something else that has turned him into quite the monster. He bonds instantly with Abbi and she has absolutely no issues with that. The supernatural world is also known to humans, which I always find fascinating when I read about that in books. Kind of reminds me of True Blood.

Like most novellas, I do wish this one was a little longer, so we could get more backstory but that’s a me problem.

This one was hot, short and delicious. Perfect for those colder nights!

#Review #ExtremeHorror – Jane Doe: An Extreme Horror by Ash Ericmore

JANE DOE

Gordon is an everyday seaside psycho, kidnapping and killing for fun, with a quality torture basement to boot. His latest victim is Jane. Sadly for Gordon, Jane turns out to be a handful of energy. Cosmic energy. And everything is about to go wrong, in the bloodiest way possible.

Jane Doe is a novella that some people might find distasteful. Actually, most people might find it distasteful. If you are of a nervous disposition, or have a weak stomach, perhaps you might want to give this one a miss, yes?

Full of blood, gore, brain matter and more, Jane Doe is an extreme horror, painted with the blackest of humour. Consider this a trigger warning for just about everything.

This was a fun quick little read that didn’t take me very long to read. This doesn’t happen often, so I really like when it does. The book starts out with Gordon who is a taxi driver looking for his latest victim. A woman gets in his cab and he convinces her to go home with him for some coffee. Super innocent right? Why, nothing could ever go wrong over some coffee.

Gordon ends up drugging Jane and places her in a room in his basement. He goes to bed and wakes up somewhere else, with no recollection as to how he got there. Things take a different turn for him right away and I was intrigued from the very start.

While reading, I really had no idea who this Jane person was and why Gordon ended up unknowingly doing the things he did. It was hard to predict and that was what I liked about it.

If you want something quick, fun and with some gory details, grab this one now!

#Review #Horror #Novella – Don’t Look In The Trees by Jason Nickey

Don’t Look In The Trees; the main rule in Appalachia. Many question why, but Justin and Billy found out the hard way on their way home from a bonfire party after coming across a fallen tree and mysterious lights coming from the sky. Can they survive the night and the strange beings coming from the forest that surrounds their cabin?

From Jason Nickey, Author of ‘Road Hazards’ and ‘They Come From Within’ comes a new fast paced sci-fi/horror novella.

This was a short fun little read.

Justin and Billy are heading home after a party with their drunk friend Kevin. While they’re driving, they see a bright light from the sky and the rest of their night doesn’t go as planned.

I do wish this story was a little longer but that’s a me problem, not the author’s. When the alien type stuff started happening, it reminded me of many alien movies I have seen over the years. Creepy crawly things coming out of someone’s mouth? Yes please!

If you want a quick read about a couple who are just trying to survive the night while dealing with aliens and the unknown, be sure to check this story out!
