Welp she did it again folks…
& once again I am completely honored to have received an ARC of this novella.
This novella takes me back to where it all started and gives me the spice level of All Hallows Haunt and the pure adoration and love from He Who Haunts Me.
I’m not a friends to lovers girlie… or atleast I didn’t think I was until I read this fucking masterpiece. Vera and Dakota have you hooked from page one. By the end of chapter 2 I was literally sobbing at how sweet and amazing Dakota is to Vera. Like he checked on her because he knows she has trauma from storms and tornados. IM WEAK
BUT can we talk about why it’s called All Hallow’s Maze because OH.MY.GOD. Kenna is out here doing gods work. 😩🥵
I think this might be my second favorite novella in the series right behind All Hallow’s Haunt (it might even be tied, to be completely honest)

soooo good!!!
Oh man, this novella DID NOT disappoint. The maze scene was phenomenal. Dark, and dirty but also safe and I want to gush. I read this in about 3 hours because I absolutely couldn’t put it down.
I love that it’s a romance with a few dark spots but never in a non consensual or bad way. More a slight BDSM way. It’s perfectly done, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!!

I finished All Hallow’s Rage and went right into All Hallow’s Maze and ugh. The friends to lovers trope isn’t one I read often, but this one was perf!! Dakota and Vera are so sweet together and the tension is so THICK!! I loved getting glimpses into their past and the inclusion of Vera’s brother. Sibling banter is always fun. The spice was phenomenally written as always and I am now officially a Simp for them as a couple. Highly recommend.

When I got all hallows maze, I didn't think that I would be as obsessed with it as I am until I met Dakota. let me just tell you guys this book is by far the best book that I have ever read; the pacing is perfect there's plenty of spice it's not too boring it's not too exciting, it's got just enough pages to keep you wondering and it's got just enough pages to keep you loving it and not bored. I just have to say that the shorter the book is the better it is and this book is only 87 pages and it is so worth every page that you read.
This book is about two best friends Dakota and Veradis, they're basically in love but kind of refuse to admit it. I have to say I absolutely adored their dynamic. Veradis was an interesting character she wasn't my favorite but I love her and Dakota's relationship. Dakota on the other hand - his character is funny he's cute he's hot he's a little bit of everything and he is not toxic in anyway that I can tell.
in conclusion, I did not want to put this book down it was so worth it. I got it from a free Kindle event I don't remember what it was but I am so happy that I took the chance and grabbed it.

- 😂
I didn’t want him to put me down, but I did enjoy touching his butt.
- ❤️🥺
“You’re my best friend,” Dakota continued. “I won’t bargain you out of my life. You’ve been a part of me far longer, and I’ll be damned if it’s cut short for something temporary.”
- ❤️🫨
“Every idea that’s ever run through that pretty head of yours, yes. They’ve been my thoughts, too.”

★★★★★/5
Wow. Just wow… I knew I loved the friends to lovers trope, but Dakota & Vera absolutely served in this novella.
This novella was both sweet and dirty! I blushed in the sweet moments and needed a serious glass of water after reading the spicy scenes.
My heart completely melted for Dakota. Can someone please help me find a man who will be as good to me as Dakota is to Vera?? I mean, come on!! He has a custom made helmet for her with her nickname on it, he doesn’t let anyone else besides her ride with him on his bike, he comforts her during storms because he knows she’s scared of them, and he fucks her until she can’t speak??! I AM WEAK!! WEAK I TELL YOU!!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it until I’m dead, Kenna does not miss!!
Thank you sooo much for the ARC! 🖤

I feel i will say this every time, but Kenna came out with another banger!!!
This is the 4th novella in this series, and so far, every one of them i have loved so much!
In this book, we follow Vera and Dakota, who have been friends since they were kids. Im not one for friends to lovers, but boy, oh boy, was this a changer for that!
I love the relationship these two have. Its interesting to see some of their past to show how they got to where they are now and also just the relationship they have with Vera's twin is so sweet!
I wanna say this being called all hallows' maze...its for a reason, and when you get to it, you will love it!!
Thank you, Kenna, for giving me opportunities to always be on the arc team and read your amazing books!!

Hunting his Bunny!
I love how Kenna can write a short novella but make you feel like your reading a decent sized novel. Vera and Dakota’s story was *chefs kiss!
In this book: childhood friends to lovers, fantasising, piercings, purple, hunting, intense passion, vibrations, secret hookups and lasting love!
These two!! Oh me, oh my!! Reading how Vera and Dakota have all the secret feels for one another and then finally giving into it and falling head over heels was such a joy! Seriously passionate and hella spicy! Loved it!! Another fab addition to the Hallows Eve Hookups from Kenna Bellrae!

“Bunny wasn’t just a cute nickname carried over from our childhood, not to me at least. I very much felt like prey under his gaze, but not in a fearful way—I wanted him to consume me.”
Alexa, play “You Got it Bad” By Usher because Dakota, baby….I have news for you.
Kenna managed to fit the perfect little slow burn into 80 pages and I was EATING up every single page. I love a man who’s down bad and just can’t contain himself anymore. Dakota and Vera were so sweet and then so sexy 🥵
“RUN, BUNNY” and that’s all I’ll say about that 🫠

⭐⭐⭐/5 🌶🌶🌶/5
CW: collaring, primal
Hmmm. Torn. I feel like if they had been older I really could have enjoyed this, but the characters felt immature. Honestly if they were like college seniors it would explain their experiences. As neither of them are naive going into what happens.
My biggest problem was him coloring her the way he did. I feel like it is so important to be respectful of the community and how things should be done within it. The conversations that need to happen, The expectations and agreements that need to be made clear before you should slip something on someone.

“This is what I can’t bargain,” I whispered even if she couldn’t hear me. “No matter how many times I’ve tried to, I just can’t. As much as you’re mine, I am yours.”
I am in SHAMBLES. These two stole my heart.
I swear it’s like Kenna took all the things I love and put it into this one novella. I’m obsessed with Vera and Dakota. The way he has this need to touch her and his little obsession with all the things that remind him of her. I can’t 🥲
What you’ll find:
🐰Best friends to lovers
🏍️”Its only ever been you” vibes
🐰Primal
🏍️S0mno 😴
🐰Comfort
🏍️Immaculate spice 🥵
🐰Nicknames ‘Bunny’ 😫😭
🏍️Purple
“You’ve known me nearly our whole lives. This part is private, mostly. I want you, need you, in the most primal fucking way possible.…I’m not going to stop chasing you, Bunny. Not until my hands are on you and I’m so fucking deep inside your püśsy you can’t even speak.”

OMG!! YES!!!!
This little novella was EVERYTHING!!!
Vera and Dakota are EVERYTHING and so much more!
These two had me hooked, obsessed and addicted to them and I seriously did not want their story to end. I devoured every delicious morsal of sinfulness and needed more!!
Their story was sweet, funny, adorable and so freaking HOT that there was no way you could read this without whipping out your B.O.B. for relief (or maybe taking a few cold showers).
I LOVED IT!!!
Be ready because Dakota is going to make you weak in the knees!!!

This was my first novella of this series and I really enjoyed it. The plot takes you into a maze, where every twist and turn raises the stakes. What really stands out in Bellrae’s writing is her ability to craft a setting that feels alive—the maze becomes its own character, filled with tension and creeping shadows. You can practically hear the whispers of the night and feel the chill in the air. This is the kind of book you’ll want to finish in one sitting. I will definitely read the other novellas of this series.

I once again was blessed with being able to ARC read for this delightful author.
The story perfectly displays the struggles of friends to lovers to me. The worry, the struggle, the doubts, and lastly the enjoyment of outcome. Their relationship is freaking beautiful and just reading the love in it makes everything perfect to me. I can and will probably read this story several more times just to enjoy it.

Kenna does it again
and honestly - this friends to lovers book had me hooked from chapter one
The way she can weave and pull you through a novella that makes you feel fulfilled like you have read a full length novel is amazing
I have loved every single one of these, though this one and All Hallows Haunt are my top two favorite just based on dynamics.
Standing ovation and I cannot wait to see what 2024 has in store for us when it comes to her amazing writting.

This little Halloween book was a great way to jumpstart my fall reading!
QUICK THOUGHTS 💭
🐇 There was some GOOD pining! My heart clenched for these “friends” who were too scared to try for something more.
🐇 Forbidden is my favorite trope and you wrap that up with brother’s best friend AND best friend?!
🐇 Primal play? Heck. Yes. Absolutely yes.
🐇 Men with accents >>>>>
🐇 The spice was H O T and plentiful!

great novella!!
this was an amazing little novella to read just in time for the spooky season and it was the perfect quick story to break up the monotony of reading novels or series.
i loved the playful energy between Vera and Dakota and honestly, i wish i had more of them. the first 40% of so built up the tension between the two MCs and the last 60% was just spicy goodness.
overall, i had a fun time reading this!! 🖤🖤

This was a good quick read about childhood friends growing up together and catching feelings for one another. Reading the start of the story, you are cheering for Vera and Dakota to get together. Vera's brother Vic catching them was hilarious. The maze was scene was spicy. The ending was a cute way to end the story.
September 23, 2024
I ate this UPPPPPPP! The chemistry between Dakota and Vera was INSANE! The MAZE scene?! 🥵🥵🥵 Omg.
This was a quick read. It was hot as hell, too! Aside from a few spelling errors, it was perfection. It was so good that I'm not even taking off stars for it.
I got this book free for the Fall Reading Challenge but I would pay full price for it. It's 100% worth it!

My favorite Kenna novella yet!!!
THIS is how you do best friends to lovers. The mutual pining was on point, the spice was FIRE, and I rooted for them from page one.
And excuse me…. PRIMAL?!?? Yes, so here for it.
I received an arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

Another amazing novella. I love these characters so much. I really hope later on we can see a smutty full length about any of them.
The tension was perfect and definitely needed. The payoff was worth every bit of angst and tension.

Veradis and Dakota were amazing!! Best friends to lovers was absolutely perfect and Dakota was absolutely filthy. I loved the primal play in this novella and his dominance over Vera was hot. Also love the bit of pet play that came into this.

Bloody love spicy novellas!
The plot - This is a smutty novella. It’s got some kinky stuff in it, definitely 4/5 on the spice scale. It’s actually got tropes; chikdhood friends to lovers, brothers best friend, next door neighbours, Halloween romance. It’s also a HEA in a series of interconnected standalones.
The MC - Vera was a nice character to read about, she’s in love but she’s not stupid. She’s also not a girl hater which I love. She’s tryna do right and I loved that for her.
The male counterpart - Dakota is one sinful man and I fuckin loved it. He ticked all my boxes and wooooow I want him like yesterday. That is all.
