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.
25 days, 25 chapters. This December, the countdown to Christmas will chill you to the bone.
Hoping to bring his family closer together, Adam Gray arranges a vacation in a remote cabin on a snowy mountain. Things take a dark turn, however, when someone starts leaving gifts in the Christmas stocking mounted on the barn door.
Each morning brings something new, and with every passing day, the contents become more terrifying. Soon, the family makes a spine-chilling realization: they’ve been dragged into a deranged game of Secret Santa, and if they want to survive, they will have to fight.
This book was written like an advent calendar, where you read only a chapter a day from December 1st to December 25th. Of course, you didn’t have to read it like that but I did and it was a lot of fun.
We follow the Gray family while they head to a cabin in the mountains. They’re there for some family time and Adam, the father, hopes it brings them closer.
As the days progress, creepy things start taking place. A random Christmas stocking with things inside that don’t lead to happy presents.
I really loved this story and the way it was written. I definitely want to read more of Per’s books. 25 Days follows the family dynamic and shows what parents would do to protect their children, as well as what children would do to protect their parents.
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.
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!
THIS IS A EROTIC HORROR CIRCUS ROMANCE I don’t say DARK lightly for this one. This book will be HEAVY. Be sure to check the TW before reading. You’re mental health matters most.
Indie Conners, stared my demons in the eye and smiled. She fell for everything I hoped she’d fear, and now she’s making me feel things I don’t want to feel. Obsession, passion, hope and something new and even more dangerous- love.
Lux Julius is everything I shouldn’t want. Everyone warned me about him. But where others see a monster they condemn, I see a lost and misunderstood soul. The more he pushes me away, the harder I’ll fight. I won’t stop until his demons become mine.
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be seduced by the darkness! Welcome to the Cirque du désir, where lust wears a twisted mask and desire dances with the devil. This is not your average love story; this is a dark circus romance that will leave you breathless, longing for more, and questioning the very nature of your own depraved heart.
But beware, dear reader, for love in the Cirque du désir comes at a cost. As you indulge in the intoxicating spectacle, you may find your own heart entangled in the web of obsession and intrigue. The line between pleasure and pain blurs, and the boundaries of morality fade away like a distant memory. The circus is not just a performance; it’s a seduction of the senses, a carnival of the macabre that will leave you haunted by the echoes of forbidden desires. Witness the contortion of emotions, the fire of passion, and the knife-edge balance between pure ecstasy and despair.
Buy your ticket now and enter a world where lust is a dangerous game, and the only way out is through the darkness. The Cirque du désir awaits, and once you’ve tasted the bitter-sweet nectar of its dark embrace, you’ll never see love the same way again. Step into the darkness, for here, the heart’s darkest desires come alive under the twisted, ominous glow of the big top lights.
Ok first off, like the author says, this book is DARK. So if you have trigger warnings or if you’re unsure if you do, stay clear of this one.
Second, I absolutely loved this one! It’s dark, beyond hot and downright filthy. I would just like to say right away that I’m glad this book isn’t a standalone. I want more of Lux and Indie.
Lux is broken and lost. He runs a circus where nothing is off limits, you don’t get judged and you can have all of your deepest darkest desires taken care of.
Indie and her friends head to this circus for a night of fun but Indie wasn’t expecting the untouchable man, Lux, to be interested in her.
Lux thinks Indie is pure and shouldn’t want him and definitely shouldn’t be in a place like Cirque du désir. But even Indie knows that there’s something about the circus, especially him, that pulls her in. She wants to explore that dark side of Lux more but he refuses.
When he finally gives in, things are explosive between them.
After Indie has to deal with a situation at home, the two meet up again but I have a feeling that all isn’t as cozy as they think it is.
I think more blood will be shed as the series goes on.
Get Out meets Parasite in this eerily haunting debut and Reddit hit—soon to be a Netflix original movie starring Blake Lively—about two homeowners whose lives are turned upside down when the house’s previous residents unexpectedly visit.
As a young, queer couple who flip houses, Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they’ve just gotten on an old house in a picturesque neighborhood. As they’re working in the house one day, there’s a knock on the door. A man stands there with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to a fault, Eve lets them in.
As soon as the strangers enter their home, uncanny and inexplicable things start happening, including the family’s youngest child going missing and a ghostly presence materializing in the basement. Even more weird, the family can’t seem to take the hint that their visit should be over. And when Charlie suddenly vanishes, Eve slowly loses her grip on reality. Something is terribly wrong with the house and with the visiting family—or is Eve just imagining things?
My favourite horror author, Mique Watson, posted about this book and said how it was the scariest thing he’s ever read. So I dropped everything and grabbed this book. I’ve gone in completely blind, so I have no idea what’s going on and I’ll write my review as I read this book.
10% in – I have no idea what’s going on but I feel like something really bad is going to happen. Eve is home alone and is waiting for her girlfriend, Charlie, to get home but this random family shows up. Thomas, the father, said he used to live there. Something is off about this whole situation.
20% in – What is even going on? Charlie is finally home and is acting like nothing is strange about this family showing up. She’s the type to give people the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming right away that they’re horrible or evil. Jenny, the youngest child in the random family, decided to play hide and seek in the basement and is hiding out there. Apparently, just letting her come out on her own is a thing.
30% in – Ok this is getting creepier. Also, something happened and I kept thinking that there’s no way my husband would tell me that he would deal with it in the morning and for me to go to sleep. Like, no way at all.
40% in – I still have no idea what’s going on. I have so many questions. Like what does this family want and why the heck won’t they leave?
50% – I think I’m going to be saying that I have no idea what’s going on until the end of this book. Something is definitely off. With the family. With the neighbor. With the random man living in a rundown shack in the middle of the woods. Everything is off.
60% in – I’m wondering if it’s something having to do with the house.
70% in – I have theories but they’re probably all wrong.
80% – 100% in – Yup, my theories were all wrong.
This book was so good. Like beyond good. My mind is reeling and I have no words, so thankfully I wrote this as I read. I didn’t now what was true or not by the end of the book and it was so well written. I think this is the author’s debut as well? Either way, it was chef’s kiss and I’ll definitely be checking out more by this author.
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!
This is the story of a vile, cruel, disgusting man, getting exactly what he deserves. Johnny is a gangster in 60’s Moon City. When Johnny picks up a delivery for his boss at an old warehouse on the edge of town, his life changes in a way you won’t soon forget.
George Marley has it all: the loving wife, the perfect family, and the job that pays all the bills.
It starts with an innocent chat. What harm could come from entertaining a longing he’d had for years?
He never expected to encounter someone like Chasten. The perfect specimen; the embodiment of all his fantasies come to life. Maybe just one meet-up wouldn’t hurt. After all, what his wife doesn’t know can’ hurt her.
But how far is he willing to go? How will he keep his fantasy a secret? What will he do when he finds out just how dangerous a game he is playing?
Oh boy. Okay so this was a delicious slow burn and something I was not expecting. Mique wrote in the beginning of the book how he hopes this story ruins your day. Lol! I didn’t ruin mine. Nice try. Better luck next time. Challenge accepted, Mique? 😉
Anyway. We meet George, who I instantly didn’t like by the way. He has a good life, a loving wife, a family, two beautiful kids, a successful job but of course, something is missing and he wants more.
George ends up on this app and meets Chasten. We find out that George is into some things that involve someone younger. Did I say how much I did not like him?
One thing leads to another and George and Chasten meet. Things take a turn for the worse and George makes a decision that doesn’t just affect him.
We learn that Chasten isn’t such a sweet kid after all.
Like I said in the beginning, this book was more of a slow burn horror for me and once the “stuff” started happening, it happened fast. It involved a lot of blood, gore, fluids, gore and so on. It was extreme.
I did predict one part and was wondering why George was so surprised when this certain thing was revealed. He clearly didn’t understand who he was dealing with and I was like, “Do you know nothing about the people on the dark web?”
This was another perfect extreme horror by Mique. He compared it to Broken Dolls but I think this one is completely different. Still gruesome with plenty of triggers but definitely a horror masterpiece all on its own!
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!
