I am not a fan of dark romance and maybe it affected my opinion, but honestly? Not much. The writing was painful to read. Contradictions within one paragraph (how are her stockings BOTH opaque and see-through?), inconsequential elements given way too much attention for a novella, “not like other girls” trope (mentioned about ten times at least), MMC weirdly mentions his huge pierced dick so many times I stopped counting, etc. I kind of liked how she stayed in the concept of Halloween (using corn as a dildo, pumpkin vines as restraints, etc.) and there was a pretty good amount of description, enough that you know where you are and what’s going on, but not so much that you get bored and get out of the flow of the story.
