Нова мені нагадала Сіббі від Карлтон, щодо вбивств. І все було б круто, якщо б хлопець був якийсь збочень або вбивця, але я проти щоб вбивали невинну людину, мені аж шкода його.

Nova is the most bada$$ unhinged character I've come across since Sibby in Satan's Affair. 34 pages of me giggling and kicking my feet until it ended too soon. I absolutely look forward to the release of her full-length novel because I ate this up so quickly! Thank you, Izzy, for the opportunity to read this before the masses.

INFERNO is a spine-tingling horror short story that acts as a tantalizing teaser for Nova's full-length novel, dropping in 2025!

On a spooky Halloween night at the carnival, Nova jumps in to cover for a sick buddy. But shh, Nova's got a secret up their sleeve, and Aiden has no clue that he’s about to be in for a wild ride of surprises!

Give me more, please!

This is the first book I've read by this author and she didn't disappoint. It's Halloween night at the carnival and Nova is more than happy to fill in for a sick co-worker. You see, Nova is hiding a secret! Grab your copy today and see what Nova is up to... 4.5⭐3🌶

This is DĀR¢. Be sure to check the TW at the front of the book!!

To be honest I don’t know if I’d rather be Nova or Aiden 🥵

Let me just start by saying—HOT, like on fire hot. Izzy Ravas has completely swept me off my feet with Inferno, and I devoured this novella way too fast (and not just because it’s short)! There’s something about this author’s writing that has me completely hooked. This book? Dark, twisted, and so deliciously depraved. But what really grabbed me was the fact that it’s the woman who’s in charge here. Nova is more feral and unhinged than any of the crazy men I’ve read about before, and I am here for it.

First of all, the setting—hello, dark psycho circus vibes. Spooky? Check. Intense? Absolutely. It made my little twisted heart so happy, adding a whole new level of intensity to every moment. And when Nova sets her sights on Aiden? Well, let’s just say, it’s all downhill from there… unless you’re Nova, of course. She’s living her best, chaotic life.

The moment Nova and Aiden share is short, but holy moly—intense. It was emotional, steamy, and so satisfying. For a novella, it packed so much punch with just one spicy scene, and let me tell you, it’s HOT. Detailed in all the right ways. The kind of scene that makes you stop and fan yourself.

By the time their moment wrapped up, I was all in—rooting for them like crazy. Nova, though? She’s got her own agenda and stays true to herself, no matter how much Aiden makes her want to go off-script. I loved how she stuck to her guns, even when the connection between them was undeniable. Swoon.

And guess what? I heard there’s a full-length novel coming for Nova later this year, and I am COUNTING DOWN the days. This novella was just a tasty little preview into her wild world, and I need MORE. More, more, more, please!

If you’re a fan of dark, unhinged, and hot-as-hell reads with a badass female lead, Inferno is a must. Izzy Ravas is a force to be reckoned with, and I can’t wait to see what she’s got in store for us next.

holy moly what a ride. This was a quick, fast paced novella (34 pages) so if you need something short and sweet and aren’t afraid of erotic horrors, this is one for you. Nova is one crazy woman. Aiden just didn’t know what he was getting himself into. you definitely need to read this one because Nova is reappearing next year in another novel 👀

4/5 ⭐️

"34 page short story. Unhinged FMC." was all I needed to hear before immediately downloading from KU and reading!

This book was very short, very dark and very bloody! --the perfect read to get one's self out of a reading slump!

Read those trigger warnings, this book is NOT for everyone! Take care of YOU!

short horror read

Take the authors advice and don’t go into this expecting a romance. This is a short erotic horror story. It was well written, but I wish there had been more chasing/play/spice than just the scene at the end. It was wild since it’s a carnival of depravity basically, so for all those sinners out there… come on in and dip your toes in boiling pools of blood! 🤣🔪

23 pages.

23 pages of absolute madness. I loved every second of it!

When the carnival Nova travels with comes to townz Aiden and his friends go to the closing nights show.

Entranced by Nova's spirit, as the night draws to a close, they retreat to her trailer to clean up. When a game of chase begins, for one of them, life will never be the same. But who's chasing who?

1.25⭐️

The spice in this book is the most interesting to me but other than that this story seemed kind of bland to me.



I have to say for Aiden to not go with his senses of Nova being a psychopath is a bit off to me. And she’s like yeah people will stumble along his body so I’m just gonna keep it here in the woods.

If you are looking for a short story to blow your mind, this is it!

I was captivated from the very beginning, and I finished it in minutes! You will not be able to put it down once you start it.

The character built is absolutely amazing, and I wish this story was longer! I hope there is more to come from this!

Looking for a VERY short read?

Look no further!

Like all the killa vibes? Then this is for you!
Bloody and naughty!

Disappointed because I've really enjoyed some of Izzy's previous books

Inferno by Izzy Ravas is a dark, erotic short story set in a circus/carnival and I’m a sucker for a dark circus story so I just ate this one up!
