Storm Peyton, a grad student studying criminology and part-time author of suspense novels is suffering from writer’s block. Willing to step out of her comfort zone to get her mojo back, she sends a letter to an inmate. A delivery blunder has her letter being delivered to an inmate on death row and when he catches sight of her during a class tour, all bets are off.
These two were perfectly imperfect! Micah was everything I didn’t know I needed. He was sweet in an unhinged way. I enjoyed seeing the way Storm embraced the darkness she didn’t even know was lurking beneath the surface.
I am content with the HFN, but I would love to see an extended epilogue or them popping up in an interconnected story featuring Sierra! Manifesting that… ✨

I'm not even joking this was really fucking bad 😭.
I thought I would love this book. It had SUCH a good premise, and honestly got off to a good start for me.
However what started off as small inconsistencies in the plot grew to be a REALLY disjointed story- that overall was poorly written 💀.
I loved the idea of a psychopathic inmate, with letters and angst (not to mention that trope list)- but the writing honestly didn't do it any justice. It wasn't a matter of being fast-paced, it was just simply the fact that the book felt random, where really weird decisions were made in terms of the writing itself and the characters.
There would be weirdly cut scenes, with little to no explanations behind them- where nothing really added up. There was nothing cohesive about this story. And I'm not even going to get into that ending bye.
Genuinely, I could pick through this book but it's late and I'm so disappointed with how it turned out- that I don't have it in me 💀.

Talk about Pen Pal gone bad lol Storm is a writer who has writers block, and her friend convinces her hey go write someone in prison maybe it spark something. Well, she did, and her letter got into the wrong hands and into a serial killers hands. Micha is obsessed when he gets the letters and her book and wants to bring out her inner darkness.
She's been getting letters, and she freaks out, but also, she's wondering. She does run away so she doesn't get her friend killed and is taken by Micha. There in her old cabin and boy, it's delicious she really only fought once with him and got some people killed, lol. Then she gave in she loved how he treated her. She also learned why he did what he did and why he became a serial killer. And how near the end she let some darkness in.
What I was meh about was he left her at the end. He has unfinished business. And we get an epilogue 2 years later, and yeah, they are still not together. Just him watching her from afar.
So I honestly wouldn't even call it an HFN since they separated. Idk if the author is writing another book or if that was it.

An accidental mixup, obsession, insatiable hunger— Letters From Hell is Kat King’s dark romance novella that tells a tale of shedding fear and nurturing the demons that live beneath the surface.
You want unhinged brutality? Manic possessiveness? How about some delectably spicy, k!nky goodness? Buckle up, buttercup, you’re in for a wild ride. There’s an escaped convict on the loose, and he knows exactly what he wants.
At the center of this maelstrom lie two monstrous souls that were fated to come together in this life, Storm and Micah. Their relationship begins by chance and is steeped in dread and fascination, but Micah is a master of teasing out the darkness. It doesn’t take long for Storm to finally give in to the shadows that surround her heart.
While this is a novella on the longer side, these two deserve a full-length book. I feel like we’re just scratching the surface here and I NEED more. King does an impeccable job on revealing history and pulling on those sympathy strings for both of her leading characters, keeping readers engaged until the very last page— which ends on a cliffy that I’m begging will be built upon in the future.
Also, weaving Micah’s letters in as chapter intros was everything. I’m thrilled we were given exactly what Storm received to help us better understand the dynamics at hand.
Prior to reading this beauty, I was completely reeled in by the first two lines of the blurb alone. The story lived up to every expectation I had, and I’m very much looking forward to reading more of King’s work in the future. If you’re looking for a quick, spicy read with a healthy dose of touch her and ☠️, then this may be the one for you.

"I was just as fucked up as he was. And he knew it from the day we met.
That was why he chose me."
I needed a book that wouldn't require my brain to work while reading it, no thoughts just words, nothing deep, and this was poorly written but somehow took me out of a reading slump so I'm giving it an extra star because it deserves 1 and I'm being generous.
A woman (Storm) sends a letter for someone who's arrested, what she didn't expect is that Micah was on death row for killing almost 30 people, and after the first letter, he gets obsessed with her, escapes prison, and goes after her.
As usual, the woman keeps denying the fact that she's attracted to a bad guy and then finds out she's just like him and they have sex then she's guilty. Just.. all that you usually see in a dark romance. I actually think she's just dumb, but whatever.

Quite liked the set-up, middle fell a little flat. Decent ending. Romance author, on the encouraging of her friend, writes a letter and sends a photo of herself to a prison inmate. Her friend adds one of her smutty books to the package! It gets delivered to the wrong inmate... a serial killer. She goes to a prison as part of her course work for post-secondary (I can’t quite recall but she is an adult and it was related to education) and the prisoner locks eyes with her. He kidnaps her and takes her to her childhood cabin that their family had when she was growing up but later sold it. Cue all the degrading stuff she wrote about in her books but didn't do in real life.
Not much relationship development or suspense to captivate my attention. I paused this and came back to it when I needed something to read at the gym. Too spicy for the gym tho lol.

i'm only not giving this 5 stars because of that tease of a "happy" ending, as an act of rebellion to persuade the author to write a continuation to this novella. i wish this was a full lenght novel, i wanted more time with both characters, but especially more of micah's pov. i wanted a fully dark ruination arc for the fmc, i feel like this only scratched the surface of her deviance and with a teacher like her serial killer stalker she could reach the baddest bitch status. the smut was pure evil deliciousness, the letters at the begining of each chapter elevated not only the story but also their connection. i especially liked how there was no date on them, as time went by it started to puzzle what each letter related to, and the fact they were all mixed up added to the tension and unreliability of the narrator. this might be my favorite valentine's day novella.

FANTASTIC!!! this book was the easiest 5⭐️ I've ever given. I went into this book completely open-minded but cautious of the TW as some of them really aren't my thing, but I jumped in, and I am so glad I did. I need more of Storm and Micah I loved them. (Not sure what that says about me 🤷♀️) I wish their story hadn't ended 😕.
This was my first book from Kat and it has certainly made an impression on me and I look forward to all her other books

Storm is a part-time author and a criminology student who tightly leashes her dark urges, showing them off only in her writings. When her best friend persuades her to join an inmate letter exchange program, where they are to write and send a letter to a prisoner, there is a mix-up and the letter ends up with a serial killer instead of the low crime prisoner of the same name.
Micah has been planning to escape from the prison for a year now, and an amazing opportunity has presented itself. A misplaced letter, with the writer's picture and a signed copy of an erotic book by her, has intrigued Micah more than ever. And he has vowed to himself to ruin her for others.
Trigger Warning~ kidnapping, knife play, slight blood play, dubious consent, breeding kink, murder, violence, gore, explicit sexual themes, mentions of rape and sexual assault, insomnia, and night terrors.
I am kind of speechless after reading this one. For one, I am not a fan of stories with Stockholm syndrome. This, however, is an exception.
Storm always had a dark side she was afraid to explore too deeply. She only ever let it out through her books. A deep-rooted trauma from her past has effed up her mind, and she both craves and is scared of that dark side.
The writing style and world-building were captivating. I liked the way each letter Micah sent her was displayed at the beginning of each chapter. Their points of view showed the distinction in their personalities.
I was surprised by how intense her perspective was in terms of her explaining how she felt and how she should actually feel. She constantly fought with herself for feeling something different than what she should at a particular moment. I think many of us can relate to that feeling, where society expects us to feel a certain way towards a particular thing and when we don't, we are labeled as different, insane. Same with Storm. She tried hard to fight with her primal urges, shamed herself for feeling anything but fear for Micah, but she had no chance.
Micah, too, comes from a place of severe trauma. He is diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and is most probably a sociopath. At first, he just wanted to play with Storm, make an unforgettable impression on her. But when he saw the way she reacted to him, with both fear and arousal, he decided he would make her his own. Micah was crazy most of the time, his emotions unpredictable. He was impulsive and lacked empathy for anyone.
Most of the story, Storm was in a moral dilemma. Though he killed for revenge, he did kill innocent people. That made her hesitate to fully give herself to him. But the ending, damn!
If you are a fan of dark romance and are comfortable with the aforementioned themes, then this novella is a must-read.

“If he’s Insane, I’m worse”
Listen.
I can’t be the only one who’s thought about finding an inmate and sending them a letter. As the one and only Britney Spears once sang, “momma I’m in love with a criminal”.
I’m sure I need psychological help, but that’s what book therapy is for.
‘Letters from Hell’ includes so many things I love. We got:
- A tall, tattooed, dark colored hair, OLDER man.
- Criminal who breaks out of prison to go get his girl
- Obsession that leads to the most wickedest desires come to life
- A man that knows how to move his tongue and work his PIERCED gift from god
- Some naughty k!nks
- A ‘run and I’ll catch you’ game that is exhilarating
- I’ll unalive anyone who touches what’s mine
If that list alone hasn’t convinced you to read this book, then I don’t know what will. The writing was phenomenal and kept me engaged the whole time. I was left with wanting more of these two. I truly thank Kat for letting me be part of the ALPHA team and enjoying this masterpiece. You won’t be disappointed from this read!!!

You look so pretty when you cry for me, Bambi
Kat King has delivered another masterpiece and this one killed it! Super deranged and had me questioning my morals for loving this book, as soon as I got this on my kindle you know I could not put it down! If only this book could have been 2000 pages long, I ended up being so attached to both characters and would kill to read more about them. The twist at the end really caught me off guard and now I need to know more! It was so well written from the very start and I couldn't help but want more writing from this author now!
What To Expect:

You’re telling me our main character is in school for criminology, but literally PASSES OUT from just looking at a serial killer behind bars?😭😭 YES THATS A REAL THING THAT HAPPENED IN THIS BOOK. The girl has also published at least 10 thriller/crime novels and is an avid Criminal Minds fan, yet once glimpse at a man behind bars knocks her out. Let’s not forget out she just does not go to the police when she starts getting letters from said man, fearing for her best friends life….. and when her best friend eventually does go to the police for her and shares the letters, the police are like “yeah your life has been threatened but just go home.”?? What I’m getting at is this book is stupid and deserves it’s own laugh track.

THE ENDING!!!
Imma need some more of Micah and Storm please.
Storm reallt popped off on the last 2ish chapters because girl-👀 she really did that.
I loved how amazing and unique the story concept was. I swear Micah and Storm just fit each other so well. And Mr Micah has a little piercing..?!!!🤌🏼
Let me list out my fav moments in the book:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/6.
🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5.
I don't even know where to start cuz this was something y'all.
This ain't no romance per say since it doesn't have an hea however there is a promise of an hea by the end and you'll understand what I mean when you read it.
I wasn't mad about the end cuz like I said there is a promise that one day they will be together again and because of the tone of the story i think this type of ending fits it. That's not to say I'm 100% satisfied with it either. I need at least a chapter of them being together after everything for me to be all in.
I still think it was a good story and I appreciate that Kat wrote us this type of story. It's unconventional but it worked if you're into a serial killer who turns into a stalker who then kidnaps Storm to make her his then you will like this. Just be aware of what I said previously and the content warnings.
Micah is a convicted serial killer on death row when he meets Storm for the first time in person. He is immediately enthralled with her and he plans his escape to make her his.
Storm is a Thriller author who also occasionally writes Erotica and she hit a writer's block so what she and her BFF decide to do is write letters to criminal in prison and when she goes to visit, she inevitably makes eye contact with Micah and that was basically game over.
I must say there's nothing lovable about Micah's per say however for some reason I kinda liked him and when I found out why he was a serial killer, it helped my opinion of him. With that said he did killed innocent people afterwards so there's that.
What I really liked was his connection with Storm. At first Storm was very afraid of her own shadow cuz a serial killer was stalking her but then Storm and we find out stuff about her that ultimately made these two work. They just had an understanding of what each other really wanted / desired.
It was a very bumpy road until almost the very end. Storm struggled to reconcile what she wanted and what a "normal" person would do or think but by the end she picked a side and damn was I surprised. I didn't think she had it in her but I was wrong and I for some reason wasn't mad about what she did either. 🙈 She was just as devious as him and I kinda liked it.
The writing was very compelling and I was glued to my kindle because I just wanted to know what would happen next.
I can't wait to read what Kat writes next. Cruel Fate (book 2 in the Masterminds series) here we go!
* I read an arc of this book. *

WOW. I’m so happy someone in a Facebook group recommended this book 😍 I absolutely LOVE stalker romances (so if you have any more recs, please let me know 😈)
Storm has writer’s block and decides to give in to her friend Sierra’s suggestion of writing an inmate to get some inspiration. When she sends the letter, pictures of herself, and one of her books (that sierra didn’t tell her she was including 😅), it ends up going to someone completely different. And that someone different is Micah. A notorious serial killer on death row.
Little does she know, that same Micah is at the prison she goes to tour with her school group since she’s getting her masters degree in Criminology. When she makes eye contact with him, she’s terrified. And soon after she goes back to her normal life, Micah escapes from prison.
And soon she comes home to a letter on her doorstep with no return address. And she just knows it’s him. He continues to send her letters and stalk her. And he won’t stop until he has her.
This book didn’t end how I wanted it to and I just knew it wouldn’t either 😭 but it was left open in the epilogue and Kat says that we will be getting a novella 😍 so I’m officially so freaking excited 👏🏼
If you’re looking for a stalker romance with a mmc who will quite literally do anything to be with the girl he’s obsessed with, then this is the book for you 😏

Ну книга однозначно заслуговує уваги. Вона мене зацікавила з першого розділу.
Сторм - майбутній детектив, яка в вільний час пише трилери, детективи, але і на її рахунку є декілька spicy 🌶 романів.
У неї застій, бо вже проминуло 2 роки з останньої її публікації.
Її подруга Сьєрра пропонує їй написати листа у в'язницю, і Сторм погоджується , вона пише лист симпатичному чоловіку який має вийти через 2 місяці,і він також є письменником. В лист, вкладає 2 фотографії ( на одній з них вона в відвертому одязі😅) , і все це вона доповнює рожевим конвертом.
Сьєрра відправила лист, але до нього вона додала книгу Сторм ( це була одна з тих spicy книг)😅
Міко "Жах ночі"- серійний вбивця, який чекає свого смертного вироку. Також йому поставили діагноз " антисоціальне ростройство особистості" і " маніакальна депресія". ( все як я люблю🫶🏻).Як же він здивувався коли отримав лист в якому зазначалось що авторка листа є великою шанувальницею його творчості і робіт , та вона працює в тій самій сфері.
Їх перша зустріч відбувається у в'язниці, коли Сторм приходить на екскурсію із своєю групою. І це було настільки хвилююче, що Сторм втратила свідомість від посмішки Міко.😂❤️
Листи Міко це окреме кохання, як він називає Сторм то "Бембі" то "Кохана".🥹
Скажу так кінець мене вразив.
Сторм зрозуміла що Міко був божевільним , але вона була ще гірше.
І свій відгук завершу цитатою з цієї книги:
"But they didn't know that Micah be Terror of the Night, but I was his shadow"🖤

I'm rating this book 4.5 stars. I expected a different ending. Like any other book, I wished for HEA which it is in a way but author left it for us to assume a good ending. I liked the story but I'm a little disappointed in the ending. But I love the MMC of this book.
Book Review:
What happens when your friends asks you to write a letter to an inmate? What happens when you have been in a writing slump for so long that the idea of writing a letter to an inmate doesn't sound that bad? What happens when you finally write a letter? What happens when your best friend tells you that she did send the letter with your photo but also a spicy smut book you have written? What happens when you don't get a response for 2 weeks until one day you finally get one? What happens when you get to know the letter was instead send to the most dangerous inmate in the prison who is going to get a death sentence soon? What happens when that inmate is known as the "Terror of the night"? What do you think will now happen??
Tropes & T/Ws:
>> Serial Killer x author
>> Pierced p**n
>> Obsessed MMC / age-gap
>> Bite mark / Hand necklace
>> Captor x captive
>> Mystery / Revenge / Murder
>> touch her & die (Literally)
>> Breeding / Fear kink
>> Knife / Blood play
>> Mention of r@pe
Read this amazing serial killer romance book and get to know how crazy you are to fall for this MMC.

Okay, WTF did I just read; and why is it so damn attractive to me????
5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It goes without saying, Micah left a kn!f€ shaped hole in my heart when….
But, holy f shit.
So freaking unhinged.
There was no mistaking or second guessing what or who Micah is, his consistency through out the story was beyond palpable and driving.
Earning quite the name for himself easily. 😍
And the nickname? 🫠😮💨
‘‘I knew you’d look so fucking perfect crying for me.’’
‘‘I’ll ruin you. By the time I decide to let you go, you won’t even think of having another man’s cock inside of you. Your cunt and you are mine. I’ll fuck you every night, and you’ll take my cum in your cunt like a good little slut, won’t you?’’
Storm - might have had a bit of Stockholm syndrome for a minute; but her rationality serving mind, kept pushing her limits and boundaries to the fullest.
So, can she accept the truth behind her own desire, or will she fight this criminal to the very end?
Tune in to find out. 🤭😏
If you like the following, this book might be just for you.
Pen pals with criminals
Mistaken identity
Stalker
Kidnapping
Breeding

The amount of times this book had me over here singing “momma I’m in love with a criminal.”
I devoured this book and I absolutely need more of Storm and Micah.
I’m not going to say too much about the plot but just know it is pure perfection. If you are wondering what else is pure perfection…I’ll tell you. Micah. 🥵
I am pretty sure that my book bestie might of short circuited a couple times just because of the things he said. Her messages looked a little like: whxownrksa.
I will be honest with saying that I did find myself annoyed with the FMC, but at the end she was growing on me a little bit.
I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

This is the second book I’ve read in a very short time where the FMC is given the nickname Bambi. And this is my official call for all Bambi related content to be dropped in my dms. My brain short circuited a number of times while reading this. And I was singing Criminal by Brittany Spears in my head the whole time. Micah’s use of the nickname “Love” for when’s he’s in his feelings and”Bambi” when’s he’s turning up the heat had me puddling. Giving total Klaus Mikelson vibes. Storm, the fmc, got on my nerves while reading but by the end she was better. I’m curious to see if there will be a second book because I am interested to see where these characters go. The plot was original and interesting and moved at a good speed. The smut is smuttin and “show me how sorry you are” makes an appearance. If you’re into a tattooed escaped convict with a dirty mouth, pierced eggplant and a breeding kink then give this one a read. (No prego)

This novella was ok… I really wanted to see more of a backstory of “Micah” MMC who is a convicted Serial Killer💀 but the story was mostly revolved around (FMC ) “ Storm” a Writer & criminology student and the storyline felt a little dry and just seemed like it was missing something. It was a quick read but I just didn’t connect with either character. And his nickname for her “Bambi” cringe 😬 reminds me of cheesy “Adult Star’s” fake name lol 😂 The smut was ok 🫤
Overall this novella was average but just wasn’t for me …
