Before I start this review, please check trigger warnings and please note that I don’t condone the actions during this storyline, but I was absolutely hooked on this book and I love Sibby. I felt guilty for enjoying this book as much as I did.  

This book is based on Sibby, who we met in the Cat and Mouse duet. This is her story. Every Halloween, Satan’s Affair will come to you. They travel the country, offering the best haunted houses, thrilling rides and the tastiest food and with every passing town, Sibby cleanse this world, one execution at a time. She hides within the walls, casting her judgement for those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls. Once you’ve been chosen, there’s no escaping her henchmen – they cater to her every desire. You can run and hide, but it only excites Sibby even more. Take a walk through her dollhouse, where your screams will blend and the cute little pleas will go unanswered. Sibby can’t promise it will be over quickly.  

I went into this book knowing that Sibby’s henchmen weren’t real and that I shouldn’t get attached to them or to Sibby, but I couldn’t help it. Sibby’s henchmen being hot, erotic and overprotective. Sibby being in the absolute bad ass she is. I really liked that H.D. Carlton gave Sibby a personality and a backstory (even if the backstory broke my freaking heart). I loved seeing Zade again and how Sibby and him met.  

This novella was brutal and I wanted to give Sibby a hug the whole time. H.D. Carlton could write her shopping list and I would still read it.
