Sinister Legacy
Keira
I was born with darkness in my veins.
My name is Keira Hill. I’m the daughter of one of the country’s most notorious serial killers.
I hide in plain sight. Pretending to fit in. Pretending I’m not haunted by my father’s skeletons.
In two months’ time, he’s scheduled to be executed.
With a copycat killer on the loose, my world is turned upside down when I find myself at the center of the killer’s twisted mind games—the queen on the chess board.
If I want to win, I must embrace my own darkness.
The legacy I have spent my life running from.
I must play the game.
King
It started out as a silly dare. Fuck Jimmy Hill’s daughter. But it quickly morphed into something far more.
Especially now that Blackwoods is terrorized by a vicious serial killer who has his eyes on Keira, the girl who’s quickly slithering inside my veins.
I’m the only one who sees her—the only one who knows how to purge her darkness. The only one twisted enough to match it with my own and offer it back in spades.
The only problem? Keira belongs to someone else.
As if that will ever stop me.

Well…that was the first erotic novel I have read and it didn’t disappoint. Harleigh is quickly becoming my new favourite author. I will say this book made me uncomfy at times but I expected nothing less considering the genre.

I'm too old for this book, but that doesn't take away from how bad it is.
These are high school students. Teenagers. Being raped by each other and the adults in their lives, being manipulated, everyone in a relationship is cheating with multiple other people - it's really just child porn. However, even if the author would've aged up the characters to college; it's still not a good book.
Add in, this is supposed to be an erotic HORROR novel. To qualify for the horror part of that, there needs to be more blood, body horror, SOMETHING! If the same amount of detail went into the horror aspect as into the erotica - then maybe it would qualify and actually be a gruesomely fun read.
Think WISH Scream + TEMU Cruel intentions. Only the killer(s) are OBVIOUS from the moment they are introduced.
To be clear, I am a huge fan of erotic horror. The more messed up, depraved, and nausea inducing - the better.
If you want any substantial horror with your erotica, this ain't it.

“Don’t hold back on me, baby. I want all of you— the good and the bad. I want the angel and the demon, got it?”
5/5 ⭐ 5/5 🌶️
Let me start with the most important part which is King being the star of this book. Is it the King as name? Is it like a secret ingredient of success? I'm not an expert, just a reader but boy did I love King. He was every bit of unhinged, devious and possessive I needed!
This book had me second guessing every couple pages. The story was alluring with so many twists and secrets. This is horror X dark romance. I was surprised to find multiple povs. It was so exciting and them being fully unreliable was just cherry on top.
The atmosphere of this book, the suspense and the plot were so good. It depends a lot on the surprise element, so there isn't much to be said in a review. But top this with unhinged spice, crazy characters and plot twists and you have a great read!
There were so many characters that I loved and some that I hated. King and Keira were awesome to read!
Let me just state that none of my guesses were correct.
Did I like it? Yes. It was so fun.
Would I reread it? Yes. I want to find the hints that I've missed.

“She doesn’t know that she has crawled beneath my skin like a parasite feasting on my heart, and now I need my daily fix. She’s my drug, my downfall, and my sweetest addiction.”
WHEWWW THIS BOOK WAS BATSHIT INSANEEEEE😭. Like the horror and thriller aspect had me on the edge of my seat. You think you know one thing then boom you are hit with something else. But the romance of it was fun to watch. It is not your typical romance it is messy, depraved, and maddening but I adore KeiraKing❤️.

Every time I read a book by Harleigh it just proves why she’s one of my favorite authors. This book was fucking incredible!! Erotic Horror is such a fun, unique genre because it gives you that thriller/murder/mystery/wild out-of-pocket plot, but then it also supplies you with a big dose of spice. I always have the best time reading them.
This was giving me 90’s scary movie vibes( but EXTRA spicy 🥵) and babbyyyy did I enjoy the fucking ride. There was so many moments while I was reading this that I was asking myself what the actual fuck is going on??? and those are some of my favorite books to read.
I could not tell which way the story was going to turn, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The biggest plot twist though was the pink dildo 😭😭😭( IYKYK)
This was twisted as fuck, gory, addicting and it was playing like a movie in my mind. These characters were insane in the best way and it made this story super entertaining because you did not know who was gonna do what next🔪 I found myself saying “NOOOO WAY” and “WTFFFF” often 😂😅
Looking for a couple who’s gonna match each other’s crazy?! let me introduce you to Kiera and King. These two continued to push the limits and I loved every second of it.
If you want a story that’s gonna keep you fully engaged and flipping those fucking pages while also making you GASP, this is the one!!

MY REVIEW AND OTHERS can also be found on my blog: ╰┈➤KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
♕ 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐂𝐘 ♕ Is a full length erotic horror novel, with imperfect fictional characters by 'new' to me author Harleigh Beck. Spoken in 'multiple POV's'
One read over that blurb and I had to get my hands on this..New to me author..Crave the dark, so I can't wait to see what this author will throw my way!!
Buckle up buttercups..
Welcome to 'Backwoods' where the daughter of a notorious killer resides. She was seven when her whole world imploded. And now her father's execution date is heading our way and things are heating up again in this neighbourhood..
Everyone wants a piece of her, to rub shoulders with the legendary killers daughter, she keeps to herself, prefers to be hidden in the shadows and keeps her circle relatively small, her quarterback boyfriend, and a best friend.
Everyone has a secret...
King Knight the bad boy, who had an fixation with our heroine, he'd had his eye on her for years, taking photos to feed his obsession. Abiding his time until he claimed her as his..
These characters were unashamedly messy, they cheated, they lied, they killed without remorse.
Get ready for one crazy ride..I really needed to buckle myself in and brace myself for the turbulent ride this took me on! Twists and heart stopping turns. Expect the unexpected, this was gritty, and definitely a horror story, the body count and missing persons kept me entertained and guessing throughout! Unputdownable and unpredictable.

My first erotic horror . . . and while I mostly skimmed over the gory parts, author Harleigh Beck sure knows how to show a dark romance reader a good time. 😂
As long as we get to howl beneath the full moon, the world is safe from us.Wildly deviant situations and kinks abound - all of which involve serious triggers so please be aware.

4.75 I haven’t been this confused about how I’ve felt about a book since Bunny. I was VERY disturbed but I couldn’t put it down 😭😭 I read this book with one eye closed because I didn’t want to read what was on the pages.
The pacing was top tier I was left wanting to know what would happen next at the end of each chapter. All of the POVs kept me engaged.
BUT there were some parts that had me sick to my stomach 🤢 I do feel like they were done right though. They actually aided the plot and helped you get a better understanding of the bigger picture. They weren’t things that were just thrown in for shits and giggles

It isn’t often you come across a book that sets an unparalleled precedence, leaving its mark on you well after you’ve turned the final page. Sinister Legacy is a work of art from author Harleigh Beck, and has become my benchmark for all er0tic horror I have and will continue to read in the future. With some serious 90s slasher and romance vibes— only more twisted than one could imagine— this book is everything I hoped it would be and more.
The quiet town of Blackwoods is the backdrop for history repeating itself, where a copycat k!ller wreaks havoc on the town’s students. Everyone is involved in everyone’s business, and the currency of choice is dirty secrets. Obsession, jealousy, narcissism, lust – the perfect concoction to set everyone on edge, just waiting to see who the next unlucky victim will be.
I won’t be speaking about the plot in depth at all, because this is a novel best read and not spoken about. Keira Hill, daughter of one of the most notorious serial k!llers takes center stage, and everything that occurs seems to revolve around her. This story is the perfect showcase that everyone has their own darkness lurking within, just waiting to breach the surface. And when that darkness emerges, chaos ensues.
Beck has perfected this rollercoaster ride that blends cringeworthy, horrifying gore with sinfully depraved smut. You won’t find any sweet romance within…it’s filthy, violent, often bloody and bruised. Keira finds the one person whose demons can match her own, and King Knight is a force to be reckoned with. When these two come together it’s nothing short of obscene. But King has his own secrets tucked away just waiting to rear their ugly heads.
So, we tag along an incredible journey of whodunit mystery, and I can honestly admit I had no clue who the copycat was. Every time I thought I was getting close, Beck would flip the script and surprise me yet again. Nothing is as it seems, and be prepared to be led on a wild chase for the truth. It’s one you won’t be able to forget.
I don’t think there are words to explain how much I loved this book. With spooky season right around the corner, this is one you need to keep on your radar. While I’ve read several books from Beck in the past, this is the one that has secured her spot on my very small list of favorite writers. Just incredible, mind-blowing, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Harleigh, this was insane and I'm not gonna lie, I fucking loved this insanity. I needed it. The way I consumed, or maybe I was the one consumed?, this book was absolutely sinful. I have so many thoughts and feelings on this book and can't find the proper words to express in a review. The characters were an unbalanced mix of crazy, grief, deranged, treachery, and carnal lust. This was written so much like a movie plays out, and I can't believe all the twists, let alone the last few chapters! Mind. Fucking. Blown.🤯

my friend Annie recommends this book to everyone and she’s been trying to get me to read it for months so i finally did. And I went into it completely blind so I had no idea what to expect! But let me just say I wasn’t disappointed! This was definitely dark and depraved. And I absolutely loved the 90s slasher movie vibes it was giving off! When I thought I figured out what was going on, something new would happen and I’d be shook. Like this book is perfect to read during spooky season, but it’s always spooky season for me so I ate it up. 🤭
King and Kiera are SO good together. They definitely match each others freak and belong together. I love how they brought out each others darkness and enjoyed it. Listen this book is VERY spicy 😮💨 King Knight can quite literally do anything to me. He’s unhinged and insane in the best way possible.
If you’re looking for a cutesy sweet romance book, this isn’t it. but if you’re looking for something dark, depraved, bloody, messy, unhinged, and also a “who done it” type vibe, then look no further! This is the book for you 🙂↕️

This read like a low budget horror film. It's like the author watched all the Scream films and decided to write a knock-off version. It wasn't like, terrible, but just bad I think. The author was right in her author note when she said the characters were unlikable. Kierra was so annoying. There were a lot of contradictions in the book. I wish Harleigh explored the relationship between Kierra and her father more. We were told about it, but I think it was one of the more interesting parts of the story and it could've been made stronger. Harleigh could've pushed more emotionally on this, and I think it would've elevated the book from something kitschy.
At first, I didn't like how we got more than Kierra and King's POV. I didn't understand why we needed it, and I wish we were more focused on Kierra and King's POV. I talked with my friend about it (who also got an ARC), and she loved it because she felt it gave the book more depth and roundness to the horror element of the story. She reminded me that this was horror erotica, not romance, so it makes sense that the story isn't focused on Kierra and King's romantic relationship. So, I get that now. But I think the multiple POVs is what made it feel like a Scream rip-off.
I had some logistics issues while reading.
It'd like to read more of Harleigh Beck to see if this was just a fluke for me.

If this book was a puzzle I was slowing piecing it together while devouring every chapter, every POV, I was in full blown suspicious mode, trust nobody! My pieces were matching, but what kept me hooked what that little seed of doubt that I had with the full picture, I had the edges laid out… but those middle pieces weren’t fitting together.
Then BOOM! Turns out I was building the wrong freakin puzzle.
“𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙘𝙮 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙚𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚.”
I think this one redefined erotic horror for me. It’s definitely erotic, there’s a lot of Kiera to go around and everyone is a little obsessed with the cereal k!llers daughter 😉 but in between those moments there’s lots of secrets, affairs, bloodshed, this town is practically a Netflix show waiting to happen.
“𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙮𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙤𝙭𝙞𝙘, 𝙨𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨.”
When horror kicks in I’m on edge, and then the spice heats up I’m on a different edge, then games get played, someone dies, sometimes more than one and I’m left with an odd craving for the unknown killer, I’ve no idea in what way so don’t ask, all I know is that as soon as that Unknown text popped up my heart raced.
“𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚,”
And by the end… my mind and heart were absolutely battered, the twists just kept coming, I thought games were being played before, now they’re coming left right and centre. I felt like an owl needing to do a 360 head spin to see everything that was going on.
‘Nothing is as it seems’ said the killer, you’re freakin telling me.

This was my first book by Harleigh Beck and it did not disappoint! I was hook and shooketh from the start! Literally my jaw was dropping during every chapter 🫨 I absolutely loved it! This was also my first erotic horror novel and it definitely lived up to that in more ways than one! All the secrets and depravity that come to light when there’s a killer on the loose had me GLUED to this book, I couldn’t put it down. King and Kiera’s relationship was sweet because that man was obsessed and he was not letting anything get in his way of being with his girl 👏🏽. I had, what I like to call thriller romance anxiety, where that suspense was getting me! It’s when I knew the killer was gonna strike again and the secrets revealed would blow my mind 🫨. And when everything was revealed 🤯 I was SHOOK cause while I had suspicions I DEFINITELY didn’t see it coming!
*DEFINITELY CHECK TW/CW!!* this is an erotic horror novel and there may be some things that are uncomfortable for you.

“Welcome to the third act, Keira, where no one is safe. Not even you.”
BET 🫰
I. Could. Not. Put. This. Down.
I absolutely devoured this book. It’s giving 90’s slasher vibes and I just loved every second of it.
I love Harleigh’s books, but I feel like she truly thrives in erotic horror. You can tell she has a fun time writing it.
There was never a dull moment in this book. Either someone’s getting murdered or someone’s screwing someone they shouldn’t be. I consistently needed to know what was going to happen next and who was terrorizing Blackwood.
I feel like it’s such a fun read because it does play out like the movie “Scream” in your head (at least in mine it did) and you’re always trying to guess who the culprit is. AND the amount of secrets and betrayals we got going on is wild. Just when you think you have it figured out, Harleigh pulls the rug right out from under your feet.
I adored watching the relationship between Keira & King flourish and how they both feed into each others darkness and demons. Ughh, I just love King so much and I love how he loves Keira in his own depraved way.
This may take the cake as my favorite Harleigh book & it’s absolutely PERFECT going into spooky season.
BET 🫰
I. Could. Not. Put. This. Down.
I absolutely devoured this book. It’s giving 90’s slasher vibes and I just loved every second of it.

this was an experience.
I cannot begin to explain how invested i was the entire time reading this book. The characters, the different povs, the mystery, the smut, the fmc and mmc! Everything about it was perfect!
Didn’t expect the killer to be that person, i was hoping for a bigger plot there and it was good dont get me wrong but i enjoyed all the twists nonetheless.

That's a fuck load of sex.
What to say about this one...It's long. Picked for the halloween trend I'm on this month.There's a lot going on and some of it did get a bit tedious. The murderers were reminiscent of Scream queens. Separate to that is the sorta love triangle, along with betrayal and cheating. So much cheating. Why? It felt like every scenario was put in place just to try and justify their deaths.
The beginning confused me with the first page. Why so many names under Keira and King? Because its not just their story and everyone got a say. Too many names. It got easier to follow after they dwindled.
The story had everything thrown in along with the kitchen sink including, murder, kinks, MM, FF, plenty of MF, attempted rape, possessive crush, dangerous boyfriend. taunting. Poking the bear, being railed by the stepfather. On and on it goes. So yeah, sex, trying to avoid becoming her father and failing miserably, predictable killers and more sex.

I found this read enthralling and while not in the typical voice I have enjoyed in the past I definitely enjoyed the switch. This is one talented author and a great book. I found the characters enjoyable and didn't want to put the book down!
I was given the chance to read this as an arc reader and now that I have had the time to come home due to some health concerns I can leave a proper review.
Harleigh packs this work full of steam, suspense, danger, and lust that you simply cannot ignore. With well thought out characters and a thorough plot you will be swiftly taken on an adventure with a book that you do not want to put down. I was on the edge of my seat literally the whole time and this is all I can say without giving it all away - add this to your TBR you will not regret it!!!

"Don't hold back on me, baby. I want all of you — the good and the bad. I want the angel and the demon, got it?”🔥
My God, I just finished reading it! I probably can't even write publicly how much I enjoyed it, because I'm currently ready for a bath in holy water 😀 This was a solid trip into the darkness of the human mind and perversion, everyone copes with inner demons in their own way. I'm warning you here, this book really, really isn't for everyone. Gentle souls, please avoid her in a wide arc.😈
Harleigh introduced me to the genre of horror erotica and I it blew my mind again. I don't understand how the author always leads me as if on a leash, every story totally cracks me up. So those of you who don't shy away and are horror lovers and want to spice it up with not a little, but a significant dose of sometimes quite perverted eroticism, go ahead. But here I appeal again to read the warning. This book didn't even meet the vanilla from the train, and it's really twisted in some ways. 👀
What was absolutely great about this book was the narration from the point of view of several characters, and it made the plot incredibly dynamic. Or, for example, why not experience the suffering directly through the eyes of the victim. Another great thing was how Harleigh portrayed the insidiousness, fakeness and perversion of today's society. Big thumbs up for that. 🤌🏻👀
The main character Keira is built as an incredibly strong person. As much as I admired and understood her in some ways, there was one thing that bothered me about her, and that was the excessive number of her sexual counterparts in this book. I think that the frustration and darkness could have been vented in a slightly different way. However, if you like really dark, twisted and spicy, this will be the book for you.
"I'm gonna f*ck you up, baby." 🔥

I raised my eyebrows so much they may have permanently migrated a few inches higher on my forehead.
This is my first little taste of horror and I loved every minute. The slasher element definitely kept me guessing as to who would be next and what would happen to them.
The smut was smutting, the murder was murdering. My only issue with this was that they are all SO young. I mean, who's behaving like that in high school? I think obviously with the whole clique element it made sense to have them so young but surely a university even would have been a bit more believable.
Anyway - I'll be picking up another Harleigh Beck book ASAP.

This book was everything it promised to be and more! I could get over the fact that it takes place in high school (even though the themes are 18+) because it was so damn good. It felt like I was binge watching a series and I couldn’t stop watching! So good. Check your TWs as always 💚

*insert gif of lady calculating* yeah, that was me the entire time reading this book.
this is my book intro to this author and it definitely won’t be my last. there’s just something about horror romances and it honestly hits different, and to add that slasher element to it? yeah, i love it.
although i didn’t trust anyone from the beginning (thank you trust issues), i was still quite shocked at who the unaliver really was, lol. you think you know, but then you don’t. it just keeps you guessing.
this story really gripped me from the beginning and man what a thrill. oh, there’s also cheating in this, and despite it wanting to pull my hair out and *makes strangling motion with hands*, i quite enjoyed it.
erotic, suspenseful, thrilling, and delightfully dark. i definitely recommend this book and would be perfect for your fall, spooky reads.
*ARC for honest review.

Harleigh Beck really pushes my buttons. She is pretty dark but knows what she’s doing. I haven’t felt such moral qualms about reading a romance in years.
I loved the Scream homage. The copycat killer. The dialogue from the villain especially at the climatic third act. All of it so reminiscent.
I thought it was an interesting choice that led to unexpected situations that the heroine Keira was a beloved oddity. People wanted to be with her because of her sinister legacy, the daughter of a serial killer.
The GR reviews are not exaggerating. Everyone is having sexual relations. It tested my boundaries. Lots of cheating. It was done for smut, red herrings, and character psychology, especially Keira, but I still had that uncomfortable feeling of something wrong. Mainly because the heroine did not feel guilty about it.
To be clear, I don’t need her to feel bad and I’n also not asking the book changed anything. I actually respect the author for being twisted and morbid, it’s clear this is her niche.
I do think that if you were to read this, it might disturb or challenge your assumptions… or it might not even register. HB is an author like Audrey Rush whose gory descriptions are not my thing, so that is my bias.
HB also wrote another book where the heroine is with a serial killer that I will likely stay away from because even in this tale, I didn’t like any of the serial killing was handled:
Keira’s dad is a serial killer of only women yet he had a wife and loved his daughter. I don’t believe that and also Keira never has a thought of how disturbing it is that her dad had such deep-seated misogyny. Now, him explicitly killing only women is not gone into depth, so the issue was sidestepped. It’s almost as though we’re just supposed to accept his dad is an equal-opportunity monster that likes to kill.
But when you let drop that he only killed women, this punctures that conceit. I could not suspend my feminist disbelief.
I also respect the choice to make Keira’s relationship with her dad complicated but it actually wasn’t. She loved him. She missed him. She did have some resentment that he was gone from her life but she didn’t have any thoughts for the impact of his crimes. The omission felt off.

Thank you to Harleigh Beck for letting me be one of your ARC readers. My review is not influenced by this.
Okay so I knew I was going to like this book but I didn’t know I was going to LOVEEEEE this book.
This was the first book that I have read by Beck and I will definitely be reading the rest of her work!
I honestly have no idea how I can even begin to express what I was feeling while I was reading this!
We were given so so many different POV’s which made the character development absolutely amazing. I loved getting to know all the characters not just through the eyes of the MCs.
King is definitely going to be one of my all time favorite book boyfriends. I could not get enough of his obsession with Keira. Yes he’s a stalker. Yes he’s a murderer. Yes he’s psychotic. Yes I’m in love with him. (Yes this is also prob not healthy)
The suspense had me not physically able to put my kindle down. I needed to know what was going to happen next. I absolutely flew through this book in less than a day.
And the ending… I can’t even put into words how much I want to go back and read this for the first time again just to feel what I felt then.
If you want a book that’s fast paced, has you on the edge of your sweet, makes you forget your morals, has you guessing, and is hotter than the grounds of hell itself, then this is your book.
Please please please check the Trigger Warnings!

“Baby, I’m gonna bury your boyfriend. You sure you wanna be there to watch it?”
So, this was my first Harleigh Beck book and I WAS NOT disappointed. It had everything I could want in a twisted erotic horror slasher read. It’s got a lot of trigger and content warnings so make sure you read them first before even cracking this bad boy open. Do not ignore them, start the book, and then complain about the content. It’s gory, dark as hell, twisted and delicious. With that being said let’s get into it.
Jimmy Hill, serial killer of Blackwoods, is on death row with his execution day fast approaching. In the weeks leading up to this a copy cat killer emerges with Jimmy Hills daughter, Keira, as their focus. Little do they know Keira has a darkness of her own, that she’s spent her life controlling.
Enter King Knight. 🥵🥵 He’s marvellous in the ways that all us effed up girlies love. Possessive. “Touch her and die.” Accepting. And he has a darkness all his own. It calls to Keira and her darkness. Together their hidden depravities play well together.
Every time I thought I had this figured out, I didn’t. It’s so well written and twisty. I loved it. Theres lies and deceptions and character developments you don’t even see coming. Yes, I will read it again. This book feeds my need for deliciously dark smut and content. Keira’s character is so well written I could feel her emotions and internal struggles throughout reading. The book hooks you in this great way where I was living the story. It felt like watching a movie. I could easily visualize everything happening. Also, it has a great ending. I wasn’t left wondering about anything (no loose ends) and I wasn’t left wanting. I was very happy with the whole experience. EXTREMELY SATISFIED.
5 stars all around Harleigh.

Grabbed me by the throat and squeezed deliciously! It has such a hold on me I loved it! Such a imaginative world and characters make this such a fantastic immersive read! I didn’t want to stop reading it! The spice was amazing and the horror was superb. Kiera, Liam, Cassie, King, etc felt so real and relatable in their own ways. If you want to be ravished by a book this one is for you! I want to reread it immediately! This was an arc and I’m voluntarily leaving this review.

This is my first book by Harleigh Beck, and my first erotic horror. I definitely found a new genre to read! Keira’s father is a serial unaliver, who is about to be executed. With the execution date close, a new copy cat wants to play. Keira is the sole focus, being taunted over and over again. This book gave me 90’s Scream vibes… but everyone (and I mean everyone) is f#€king. Multiple times I picked my jaw up off the floor! The spicy scenes were so hot!! There’s a spicy scene for everyone in this book! If you like MM,FF, MF, dub con, knife play, primal, 🍑 play, you’re in for some serious treats! This book is filled with unaliving. Between trying to figure out who was next, who the k!ller was, and all the spice, I couldn’t put this book down!

If you are going to write a dark romance horror novel with extremely graphic and disturbing sex scenes, I would probably suggest not making the main characters literal minors. I am extremely disgusted and concerned. DNF’d at 51%.
