Summerween Read! 🎃

I love finding shocking things to read and stepping out of my comfort zone to try new things.. with that being said, I don't really know what to feel about this book. It was definitely a wild ride from start to finish! I found myself going "wtf am I reading???" from basically the first chapter. I guess this is technically my first official venture into Dark Romance, but I'd personally classify this book as a Horror which is what I read it as. I think the twist ending is what ultimately brought this novella up above 2 stars for me; but I'm intrigued enough to continue reading the series, so we'll see how it goes!

I loved this book. It was one of my first actual/physical dark romance book that i have ever read. The twist was honestly shocking and it devastated me to read it but the storyline is amazing to me. It does include trigger warnings and a song playlist page which is also very nice.

okay but I actually liked this. Am I... Crazy? *manic cackle* I think I just prefer darker reads lol. I fear this has kick started "summer-ween" for me. I mean who wouldnt want halloween all year round? I live for the dark gothic and questionable vibes. I loved this story and the concept and the fall carnival ambiance. it was just such a smooth and fast read. gory and filthy and adrenaline inducing goodness. Honestly I have to commend H.D. Carlton bc her writing is captivating and it hits. I could perfectly envision all this craziness and it was smashing dahling. Also wow, the introduction to ZADEEEEE, im already obsessed. The writing was just too good, like damn give this authors editors a raise. its currently past midnight and im going to bed with a smile on my face. Also the fact that Zade didnt treat Sibby as an outsider really spoke to his character and his understanding of the various forms of darkness that plague this world and you know a book series is going to be good when it mentions you know what bc that seems to be the theme for all my favorite books. we lust a man on a mission. soooo im hooked babes. lets start this cat and mouse journey shall we.
