Carving for Cara
He is my predator, and I am his prey. Tonight, he is starving for a taste of what’s his.
It was Halloween, my favorite time of the year. I had my dream job as a tattoo artist, a loyal best friend, and an ex who happily tended to my needs without complicating our arrangement with feelings. Everything was going great until Devil’s Night when the masked man watched me from the shadows like a predator stalking his next meal, and that’s what I his prey . Like any natural-born predator, he was bloodthirsty, staking his claim to me before I could see the face behind his mask. He wasn’t afraid to kill for a bite of what he craved, even if it meant shedding the blood of those closest to me. Once he had a taste, he hungered for more, and the more he needed it, the more I wanted to give it to him.
Tropes Touch her and die, knife play, stalking, possessive MMC, Halloween, small town, CNC, masked MMC, praise, she’s mine

The ml goes by Rhett, but we're going to call it, Shett-- AKA sh*t, yes. 💩
Explanation: Rhett reminds me of Rhett Eaton from Reckless, and my baby deserves better 🥹💋
Honestly, there is nothing to say, other than that Shett is an egocentric little prick who's ego is larger than all the characters I've read-combined, has convinced himself that he has an Oogabooga bigger than a tree branch and loves shoving corn (yes, the food 🌽) up a girl.
Allow me to show you proof 🤗
"I can't blame her for for being so speechless after locking eyes with me. I know I'm good looking. I work hard to maintain my well-toned body and it doesn't take much for women to swoon over me."
-If I ever swoon infront of this thing, it'll be 'cause my iron level has spiked down. 🙄
"The moment she smiles at the barista as he hands her the coffee...something deep inside me stirs."
-What bro thinks he is, 😈
-What bro actually is, 🤡
One more nickname starting with 'Little' and I'm going to stab my eyeballs.🔪👁
Little Nightmare? Tfag? ☺️
Imagine waking up in the morning and going, "Good morning, Little Nightmare." LMAO.
*sighs * I'm so done, bro. I'm losing brain cells like my hairfall.
I give up on reading these. Thank you, Krisha . You will never be forgiven for recommending me this thing.

Okay, this was WILD and the stars are for how much I enjoyed it. I won't be able to look at a cob of corn the same way... ever again.
Cara is a spooky fucked in the brain girl 😭 who read monster smut and all that stuff.
Rhett is a guy who is amajor daddy hacker.
On Halloween day, Cara and her bestie Sloane decide to take a pumpkin spice latte from a cafe. While drinking she made eye contact with this big man. And her thighs clench automatically from that contact 😭 bitch who the fuck?.😭
And Rhett finds out she's going to a Halloween party. As a result, he also attends the party. Stalker.
This novella didn't feel short until the very end, which was my primary issue because it finished on a cliffhanger. Ugh. I really wanted to see what her reaction was after that!!!!
THE THINGS HE DID TO HER BODY OMG. In a cornfield... he He- i- okay he took a cob of corn and gave her an orgasm from it... Yes exactly and then placed it in his pocket. 😭 Then they proceeded to do it in the pumpkin field.
As I said this was WILD, spooky, dark and so much fun. CARA AND I LAUGHED OUR WAY THROUGH THIS NOVELLA 🤣. ILY BABE 😘
I hope she'd gotten the experience she was looking for... 👀

Most people in my small town of Hallow Grove, Iowa, are superstitious and fearful of the devil, but after reading one too many dark romance novels, I’m reasonably certain he’d fuck like a god.-- She and I have similar thoughts on a few things I see.
There are six in total, and each one is more sensitive than the last as they get closer to the tip.... WTF SIX-? HOW LONG IS IT TO GET SIX PIERCING ON THAT THING!?!?
Jonah’s breath picks up, and a whiny noise escapes his lips with each thrust. It’s somewhere between a porn star moan and a dog that needs to go outside, and that’s when I realize Jonah isn’t anything more than those two things-- damn
Now, Cara is mine, and only mine. She may not fully know it yet, but she will, and she’ll have no choice but to accept it.---- Cara do tell me if this is your favourite line from the book...?

I was very excited to be an ARC reader for this novel. Unfortunately, my honest review isn’t a good one. It did not live up to the hype. The story line itself had so much potential but the writing was honestly terrible. Way too much detail in the small things and then not enough when it really mattered. And what the hell was that ending?
I’m truly disappointed because I was excited for this one. The cover had really caught my eye so bonus points on that but not enough to bring the rating up.
Rhett could’ve been developed more as a character and like I said, it had potential to be great but fell very flat. I’m happy to see others enjoying it!

2.5 ✧
Carving for Cara by Melissa McSherry and Dana LeeAnn is a short, twisted little read that fits erotic horror more than dark romance. It’s the perfect pick for spooky season: bloody, bizarre, and unapologetically unhinged. 🎃
Set in the eerie little town of Hallow Grove, the story follows Cara, a tattoo artist and Halloween enthusiast, who attends a Devil’s Night party only to find herself being hunted by a masked stranger. What begins as fear soon turns into something darker — a night of obsession, danger, and desire, where the line between terror and temptation blurs completely. 🖤
Please note: this novella contains dark content, including stalking, obsession, and coercive non-consent. While it’s tagged as CNC, the actions and lack of explicit consent make this read feel far closer to non-consensual. Proceed carefully if that’s a trigger for you.
───♡─────────────
♡ What I liked:
• This book’s Halloween energy is immaculate — it smells like fog machines, fake blood, and bad decisions. 🎃🌙
• The mix of horror and spice actually worked better than expected. The chase scenes carried genuine tension and dread that fit the setting beautifully. 👻
• Double POV! Always a plus — getting inside both their heads made it more dynamic. 👀
• The story leaned more on the hunt than the heat — the smut came as the “reward”, which made the pacing interesting.
• Cara herself was such a fun heroine — blunt, honest, and a little chaotic. I adored her dry humor and unapologetic strangeness. 😳
• Rhett’s job as a CIA hacker was actually intriguing — it gave him a believable reason to be mysterious and untraceable. 🖥️🔒
• The ending was perfectly eerie — that kind of open, unsettling finish that lingers like a horror movie fade-out. 🌫️
✘ What didn’t work for me:
• Insta-lust? Fine. Insta-deranged obsession? Not so much. Rhett goes from “I just saw her” to “she’s my destiny” within seconds.
• The possessiveness was so instant it crossed into parody.
• Rhett’s internal monologue was… a lot. Between the gym flexing, bragging about his looks, and listing his past conquests, he gave off the world’s worst dating app energy. 🙄
• The “no one is good enough for her, not even me, so I must ruin her” line? Please, no. That trope is beyond tired and senseless. ❌
• Cara’s decision-making felt off — especially her random choice to get back with her awful ex when she knows he’s terrible. It felt contrived just to move the plot.
• The overdrinking went too far — by the first 30 pages, Cara should’ve been in a coma. 😐
• And… why is her Uber driver carrying her inside the house? No. Just no. 🫣
❀ Overall:
It’s not as terrible as some reviews make it out to be; it just requires the right expectations. If you want a quick, spicy, messed-up Halloween read with a killer aesthetic and don’t mind logic taking a backseat, this might scratch that itch.
But if you’re looking for strong plot, depth, or emotional connection — this won’t deliver. For me, it was an interesting, atmospheric experiment that made me uncomfortable and entertained in equal measure.
And about that infamous corn scene… I’m still processing it. 🌽💀
Will I read the next one? Honestly… yes. Curiosity wins.

She’s special, she sees me.
Accepts me.”
• The possessiveness was so instant it crossed into parody.
“All it takes is one look, a split second where another man holds her attention, to send me into a downward spiral of jealousy and rage. I never want her to smile at anyone else like that again, unless it’s me.”This happens before they even speak. 🫠
• Rhett’s internal monologue was… a lot. Between the gym flexing, bragging about his looks, and listing his past conquests, he gave off the world’s worst dating app energy. 🙄
“I know I’m good-looking and taller than most men, a feature I can thank my late father for; add in that all of my free time is spent in the gym, where I work hard to maintain my well-toned body, and it doesn’t take much for women to swoon over me.”You don’t say.🙄
“I’ve stuck my censored in more women than I can count, but that’s all it’s ever been. Fuck, chuck, and onto the next.”

Well cream my corn and call me shooketh! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
This was so long awaited for me, and happily I can report that CFC was absolutely not pulling any punches, when I say I annihilated this book like a pumpkin spiced bowl of holy f*** I mean I ATE this with my bare hands and didn’t blink!
If a work requires the authors to include the TWs not once, but TWICE, you better grab your snacks, some tea, and buckle up ladies.
Expertly written, fantastic character motivations, laughs out loud compete with jaw on the floor moments, it’s gritty, honest and dark the kind few others can say they achieved. This one book that will be a repeat read for many Octobers to come!

"To some, she may be the girl of their dreams, the perfect girl next door, but to me, she is the monster under my bed, the thing that keeps me up at night. My little nightmare."
Predator and Prey.
The one who chases and the one who gets chased.
And what a better night to play the game then Devil's Night?
There is no one but her. No one but Cara.
And tonight Rhett will prove that to her.
By any means necessary.
She can't escape him.
But they both know she doesn't want to.
"My little nightmare craves the chase just as badly as I do, and well, who am I to deny my girl what she want?"
AHHHH SPOOKY SEASON HAS STARTED PEOPLE!!! (Well at least for me 🎃🎃)
This novella was spicy, intriguing, filled with smut and absolutely addicting.
I mean you signed me up with the blurb and I was hooked from the very beginning.

This just felt like a very underwhelming retelling of Haunting Adeline.. there was way to many similarities (girl lives in gothic house, possessive hacker guy needs/wants to claim her, nickname little nightmare very close to little mouse, sets up cameras in her house to watch her every move, etc). If I had to read “little nightmare” one more time I would have screamed out in frustration. Every time I read it I eye rolled so hard.. it got so repetitive so fast. Lastly, it felt like the author used to much detail on the littlest unnecessary things while you were wanting more details on the important stuff. Sorry but did not enjoy this as much as I was hoping.

It's kind of hard to do something new that hasn't already been done before in the realm of Halloween novellas, and this reads like a standard one. It was also more of an introduction to the characters than a standalone novel.
I'm glad that I can say that, knowing a full book is coming later this year, but if I'd read it without that knowledge, the ending probably would've made me mad, because it's a cliffhanger, and the book feels incomplete.
It took a long time for the two mcs to finally get together after getting rid of Jonah, and then the book just ends abruptly after that. WE NEED MORE!!! And we're getting it.
There wasn't much time to develop the characters, so I'm hoping they'll be more fleshed out next time. I can't say that I connected to either of them, but I'm open to reading the rest of their story. Some plot seeds were planted in this one that could turn into something interesting. We'll have to wait and see.

I received an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
I had really high hopes because the blurb made it sound amazing. The story was repetitive without adding more to the storyline (I.e., same moments from different POVs created lots of unnecessary back and forth- not every scene needs to be from dual POV). Rhett had potential, but the limited development made him murderous and psychotic, and not in a good way. In my honest opinion, the cliffhanger would’ve had me wanting to pick up the next book, if the story had more developed characters and plot.
If you’re looking for a mindless murdery read during spooky season, this might be your book! For me, it simply fell short.

{SPOILERS} i received this book as an ARC. This author really rode the “Halloween Hype” she used halloween to target her audience and that is ok. As someone who loves halloween i was drawn in! And so excited to read this.
But i was severely let down. We do not know much about Cara other than she lives in a victorian stye home on October Lane and she dislikes her neighbor and his dog. And she is a tattoo artist.
Cara and her best friend are going to a halloween party called devils night. They stop at a cafe to enjoy some pumpkin spice latte’s when Rhett our Main Male character spots her and instantly stalks her. It’s super strange because the author says that Rhett is looking for the head of a cartel. And that their head quarters Resides in this Small town Cara lives in (which is why he is there on business)
He mentions something about working for the CIA. But that is literally all u will hear about that!! After that Rhett goes full circle into stalking Cara. We know nothing really about Cara or Rhett. No real character development. The author spent to much time giving so much details on little things. For example she describes Cara’s car when Cara is getting into the car. Even down to the Key Fob. She describes lighting pumpkins etc.
We don’t know much about Cara BUT we do know Cara doesn’t believe in God. The author made sure to give us that information. Rhett is a psychopath and not in a sexy way. There is a scene where he shoves corn from the cornfield inside of her by force. Everyone is so obsessed with this scene calling it “cream corn scene or the cornfield scene”
Honestly this story was all over the place. I feel horny women are hyping this book up. To think people are comparing this to The Ritual! And Haunting Adeline?! Where? And it ends on a cliff hanger! When it ended on the cliff hanger i was so lost because i literally thought the story just got started! Someway somehow. We don’t find out about Rhett’s job and who he is. Our MFC doesn’t even get to find out who the heck Rhett is either before the cliff hanger. It feel’s like this story was surrounded around Cara and her Ex Jonah and how he has a small penis and finally it’s time for her to have some real dick. And when her and Rhett share their moment in the cornfield that’s all it takes for her to give in. Rhett is claiming Cara as his from one look in the coffee shop.

cute (well, not really) but the mmc got on my nerves after this sentence, words by words he said and I quote
"I'll spend the rest of my days watching her, claiming her, whether she allows me to or not"
he had almost zero personality other than blood rushing to his dick as the fmc was a basic pumpkin spiced latte lover and just desperate

I'm off to traumatize my husband with book number 5 🤣 stay tuned for the hubby's tiktok video reaction lol.
But honestly, if you're a dark romance girlie, this is a fun dark SHORT book.

This book was such a wild read. I found myself constantly grinning and squealing as Cara kept finding herself in the WORST situations. Then there's Rhett, who I absolutely LOVE! He is unpredictable and psychotic in the best way....plus he is covered in tattoos, has naughty piecercings, and a motobike.
This was written really well, and it kept my attention as I just ate it up. It's a dark contempoary romance with full Halloween theme, where Cara and her bestie Sloan go about their daily life and attending their Halloween events. Rhett is visiting town on 'business' and eyes off Cara immediately, deciding to claim her as HIS.
If you want a Halloween read, this novella is it.
For all you feral Zade girlies, this one's for you 🥵💦
🎃 Stalker romance
🎃 Halloween theme
🎃 Protective MMC
🎃 Thirsty FMC
🎃 Dual POV
👻 Check trigger warnings
😈 Spicey bonus chapter in the Special Edition (which has black pages, too)
*BETA Reader - thanks, Mel & Dana, for letting me help out with your unhinged thirsty work*

Nothing made sense in this book. It was terribly written, and look I get it’s suppose to be a smutty novella but please for the love of God research!!! Research if vines could hold a knot on a person (they can’t) research if you can shuck a corn with your teeth (you can’t) and please if you’re going to make a Smutty novella… make it actually smutty! There was ONE scene at 90%. All the characters annoyed me. I don’t get the good rating for this book.

“Run, little nightmare.”
I don't know if I should be worried because I found this reading entertaining and fun lol
In my defense, he got some pretty good qualities. He's totally deranged and unhinged, yes, I know... but he's so very thoughtful and loyal, what more could a girl ask for?
“Do you like your gift, little nightmare?”

This is a pretty entertaining smutty and dark Halloween novella. I really liked it and the narrators did an incredible job.
There were some things I wish I could change about it though, like there was only one spicy scene between the FMC and MMC, and I wish the story would have continued instead of ending on a cliff hanger, but it was still really good. It’s definitely a must read for us Halloween girlies.
Also the corn thing was a nice touch 😂
