From the author of For the Love of Layla comes the first standalone in the Dark Desires & Sinful Sweethearts series… Bathed in Blood.
People are awful and circumstances, positions, perspectives are always changing. Life is constantly evolving and devolving, rapidly. In the blink of an eye, everything you thought you had, thought you were, is gone. What remains a constant throughout all life's infinite changes? The fact that people are awful. I am one of those awful people, made this way by people that are even more awful than me. I owe a debt one far more valuable than money, one that can't simply be paid in installments with cash. A life debt, but not my life… other's lives. Innocent, unsuspecting lives in the worst ways possible.
Ways that would make your skin crawl and I do it on camera. They call me the Blood Princess, known for taking lives in all manner of horrible ways. A myth online, a legend. Today was like any other, bloody and awful. I did was I was supposed to do; played my part perfectly. Put on the perfect show. Only this time, I underestimated my victim. We all underestimated him. Vastly. He had no interest in being a part of my little show. What did he have an interest in? Once again, changing my circumstances. He calls me his princess. Says I belong to him now. I fear he has more blood on his hands than I.

Oooooooh… I have some serious words… Some serious fucking words.
You sneaky smut readers have been keeping secrets, and it’s hard not to take it personally.
Look. I get it. Us hardcore horror readers read some messed up stuff… BUT THIS?!! This is some MESSED UP STUFF. But, with feels! Feels are a sneak attack! It’s uncalled for! As a grown ass man, I should NOT be questioning why I don’t have a dark knight isn’t calling ME “Princess”, or wanting to be told that I’m a “good girl”! I’m a self loathing nihilist, Goddammit, and I’m too old to be developing a praise kink!
Callie. You and Otis are hereby banned from making a book baby. My little black heart can’t take it.
Traumance is officially on my “I’m gonna need to be the little spoon for a while, after reading this, coz it’s muchness is much muchness…” list.
Also. It appears I’m out of ice cream. This totally tracks.
On todays episode of "Am I horrified or Am I turned on?! "
Callie, Callie, callie... what have you done?!
Being the good girl that I am... I enjoy a bit of dark romance. But I, too, enjoy a good bit of splatter. This book is the absolute perfect combination of the two. Just 👌👌.
If you are looking for a book with blood and spice that also might make you want to grab a box of tissues ( not for that reason, jeez!!!), grab this one. It will have you feeling all the feels.
Erotic horror at its finest. You are on to something. Please keep em coming 💦😉.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
“My princess didn’t get the knight in shining armour who fought honorably to free her from her tower. She got the villain who wrenched her from it, bloody and screaming.”
OMFG!! This story blew my mind. It was deliciously dark, depraved, violent, bloody, sexy and gory! Everything my black heart desires in pitch-black dark romance and I couldn’t get enough of it.
Lana (the poor girl), to save her brother’s life she takes on his debt and ends up being forced to become The Blood Princess (a snuff film queen). Her life is an endless cycle of pain, punishment, violence, sex and death. She is pretty much abused and punished to the extreme every day keeping her as broken as possible. Until one day when she’s had enough, a chain of events happens, turning her world completely upside down.
Christian, a dangerous, violent and powerful man, has set his sights on Lana and will do anything to possess her mind, body and soul.
“I watched you since your debut. I studied everything you did, obsessed over every little move you made. I knew I would need you, that I would take, you long before I was given the order.”
The banter between Lana and Christian was filled with intense emotions and extreme pain and anger that it just poured off the pages and gutted me. But here were also some funny and sweet moments between them that confirmed the slow building relationship between them. With Christian’s help she is finally able to feel again.
This story was phenomenal, disturbing, insane, brutal, creative and deliciously smutty! I devoured every debauched moment of it and desperately needed more at the end.
The blood princess is forced to k1ll and torture people online for a audience- the blood princess is her other personality, the real girl- Lana- is a fragile girl who just want to be loved
Christian- this man is DOWN bad for our mfc, Lana have this man on his knees before she even met him 🤣 this man ate her 😏 (also her flesh )😅 which was kinda hot, he killed a man for also seeing her nudes- (he took them and put them as his lock picture) poor man only did a peek and had his life ended 😂,
Christian think he’s in charge but also sat and fed her, killed for her and protected her
“a man who has lived thirty-seven years and most of them spent killing, torturing, and ending lives, is blowing on her soup. So it doesn’t burn her fucking mouth”
I really enjoyed the book, a few spelling errors here and there but honestly didn’t change my opinion or rating on the book, but I do feel like something felt missing from this novella and I can’t place my finger on what it is maybe it was Lana time with Christian family? It was cut short, including blood princess in action I would have loved to see the blood princess in more action she only did one scene with the mmcs family and that’s all.
I wanted more gore! But I’m also a sick freak 😂
I did enjoy the author writing and I will look into her other books
There Princess, now there’s truly no piece of you that isn’t mine.
This book was the perfect mashup of a splatterpunk storyline with a dash of dark romance, and I need more like this! This was my first read by Callie Moss and it sure won't be my last after this one. Christian and Lara were so beautifully broken and sharp and tragic, with the worst backstories possible. I don't want to spoil anything, just know it is not a happytime story and has extreme themes that would leave even the most desensitized reader reeling. There was nothing remotely normal about it and no coming back from the morally pitch black characters that were the MCs. Of course this was absolutely awesome to read and definitely has me questioning my morals but oh what a great read!! Just check the trigger warnings.

My princess didn’t get the knight in shining armor who fought honorably to free her from her tower. She got the villain who wrenched her from it, bloody and screaming.
❤︎ ARC provided in exchange for an honest review ❤︎
This was not good. Are we supposed to like Christian? Cause I don’t. She should’ve killed them all and had sweet revenge 💅 She never got her power back and I hated it. How can I erase this from my memory? 1 point for torture creativity with the acid up the ass though. I can even get behind cutting off the brand on her skin. But eatinggggg it? Random and not believable.
You aren’t given any reason to care what happens to these people esp since it starts with telling instead of showing. The brothers are gone way too fast, that should’ve been fleshed out more. We don’t even get a convo with her family. Everything just annoyed me

Now this really puts the Dark in Dark Romance! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for this book and I absolutely loved it! The characters are fascinating and touching, the story is gripping, and the smut is definitely smutty. Bloody too, but that's the fun part.
WOW. Where do I even begin with this? How do I even process this? This was my first read by Callie Moss and I absolutely DEVOURED this book. This was daaark and completely fucked up but I was also completely hooked.
Lana Porter is taken as a captive in exchange for her brother’s debt, her brother’s life. Forced to endure the snuff film industry as “The Blood Princess” at the hands of the Sullivan brothers. These men are ruthless and completely insane in their torments. Lana endured so much violence at pain at their hands that I was literally in my feels for her. But the dark knight, Christian Vanegas, comes to save her. Did I say save? I mean take her as his own captive. But what happens when Lana becomes more than just “The Blood Princess” to Christian?
I loved watching Lana’s growth and seeing her allow herself to let go and put her trust in Christian. Their relationship definitely was not normal but they were exactly what each other needed. Christian knew the violence and torture she was put through, and even though he took her as his own captive, he still immediately showed her gentleness and care. Because he knew that’s what she deserved. He showed her what real love can be when she had never experience any form of love before. The lengths this man went to in order to save her and protect her had me forever swooning.
This was amazing. I kept stalling because I didn’t want it to end.
Def dark, and heed those warnings but it was also so beautiful. Christian was everything you want in a morally black book boyfriend. I felt all the feelings & at times could relate to Lana on her healing journey. Really great book, that I would recommend to anyone who likes things a little more unhinged.
I finished this book last night as my last book of the month and I was SUCKED IN.
Have you ever read a book with 🖤loving🖤 cannibalism? Well it’s in here. If you’re going to read this, check the trigger warnings because this book is pitch black dark and is an extreme horror romance.
I loved this book so much even though it made me feel so many emotions and make a ton of weird faces while reading it. The FMC goes through so much trauma and I cried for this fictional character at least twice.
This was INCREDIBLE. Easily my favorite read so far this year.
It was GRAPHIC. It was DEPRAVED. It was SPICY. Christian is the kind of obsessive psychopath that I love. This book was gory and horrifying at times but also so heartbreaking.
I thought this was the perfect blend of extreme horror and romance.
I tend to struggle a bit with dark romance because a lot of the time they just aren’t graphic enough for me but THIS WAS IT.
If you are into dark romance but just wish it was darker and more graphic—this is for you. I will be reading everything Callie writes and I hope to see some more dark romance authors dive into extreme horror.
I received a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
My hand captures her jaw, slamming her into me. It's teeth, tongue, and insanity. It's everything. Lana is everything. She's mine.
This book was completely unhinged and written so well. I loved Christian and Lana and holy fudge balls....this book was so dark. It was a mix of splatterpunk and dark romance I didn't know I needed.
My princess didn't get the knight in shining armour who fought honourable to free her from her tower. She got the villain who wrenched her from it, bloody and screaming.
In this book you'll find: 🖤 Splatterpunk/horror romance 🖤 An extensive list of trigger warnings I advise you to read 🖤 Kidnapping 🖤 Abuse/ 🍇 🖤 Morally pitch black characters 🖤 Trauma 🖤 Unhinged af 🖤 Descriptive gory horror 🖤 Touch her and byebye..for real 🖤 🩸Play 🖤 Canibalism
This book was a surprise to me, in the sense that this was my first Callie Moss book and it blew me away. I can't wait to read more from this author.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 I'm not going to give a spice rating for this one. I will say there's definitely s3x in this book.
I absolutely DEVOURED this book. Christian is the type of man to blow on your soup to make sure it’s not too hot and feed it to you, then cut off a piece of your flesh and eat it himself.
Callie did it once again! This is a DARK splatterpunk romance. Okay, he literally fucks her on top of the corpse of a guy she killed during her snuff show.
The last chapter had me biting at my nails nervous as to what would come next. But don’t worry… it has a HEA❤️ all in all I would 1000% recommend this book to every single person I know.
5/5⭐️ 4/5🌶️

When monsters are made and not born, are they the worst ones? Our FMC has gone through some real f*cked up shite, not just the abuse physical and mental but the blood princess they made her into. Her dreams shattered, her hopes gone, her life one stream after another. A saviour on a dark road or another puppet master comes into her life where will it lead? 🩸🩸💀💉🪓🔪⚰️🖤🌶️❤️
I really enjoyed this one, it was very descriptive, it was bloody, violent, it was so much that you will just have to read it 😈 Do read the trigger warnings, can’t complain if you’ve been warned 😉
This is my first Callie Moss read and I’m a big fan now!!!
Well, I have acquired another book boyfriend!!! If you love an erotica with your horror then this book is for you! It’s violent, nasty, and spicy af! I loved the two MC, Christian and Lana, and call me crazy but I was shipping them the minute they met! Shoot, might even have unlocked a kink or two 😏
Check trigger warnings before you read this because it is very dark.
Lana made a deal to trade herself to save her brother. Little did she know she would end up becoming the Blood Princess who made her capturers millions for streaming her kills. After over four years having her choices made for her with no freedom she doesn't prolong her target. She takes him out quickly. This earns her a punishment where she must go out with her capturers and find the next target. She was unaware this target would help her escape and he would truly take care of her.
Wow… this was the first book I’ve read by Callie and if her other books are written this well, I will be devouring them also.
This book was so good and different. So many times I have picked up a book and everything seemed the same since I’ve read so many dark romance books. NOT THIS ONE! I have never read anything like this!
The plot and story was amazingly dark and I loved Lana and Christian. They were a long time coming for sure.
*** mind your trigger warnings!! this is not for the faint of heart and covers many dark topics***
this book was delicious and I ate it up
“christian” “I’m here 𝔭𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔠𝔢𝔰𝔰, right here” when I tell you princess has a whole new meaning 🫠🫠🫠
the way that christian wants to take her pain and make sure it’s wrenched from her had me swooning, he may have been a bastard but the care he had for lana was unmatched
I mean come on, lana’s not eating so what’s christian do? sits with her and feeds her every last bite and then? then rewards her with orgasm after orgasm for being a good girl for weeks but then he forces her to perform in his own snuff film and makes up for it by taking her (oh babes just wait till you get here) 👀 like she craved and enjoying a little extra ✨taste✨
“there 𝔭𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔠𝔢𝔰𝔰. now there’s truly no piece of you that isn’t 𝓂𝒾𝓃𝑒” this line had me WEAK.
I don’t know what did but clearly we need to have a talk (or I need a therapist) cause, f**k, this book? not only hit all the feels but she made those dark and disturbed thoughts, you know you have, all come to life and made it all hot
“you’ll come back right?” ༄ “nothing, lana, nothing would keep me away” ☁️

Overall I enjoyed the story of the broken FMC being saved by her Knight in shining armor. I loved Christian and really liked his “Touch her and die” mentality.
The story had a lot of darkness. Shock value was high at some points, it was filled with suspense, a lot of spice and ultimately it had the perfect ending.
CHRISTIAN IS EVERYTHING 🥵 this man is a level of obsessed I’ve never seennnn. I loved this story so much and the universes Callie creates are insane. The snuff film aspect and gore was violent, disturbing and brilliant! The loved everything about this story and Lana and Christian’s love 🥹🖤
I received this deliciously dark twisted book as an arc, and it was a wild ride!!! First and foremost, pleaseeeee check your trigger warnings, this book touches on some very dark and gory topics! Now I love some unhinged MCs but these ones topped a new level for me!! 😅 HOWEVER, I loved every minute of it! It was fast paced and dived right into the story, it’s a page turner bc you are dying to see what CRAZY thing is going to happen next!! Lana’s trauma made my heart hurt, but I loved seeing how story progressed.
My only complaint is I wanted more of the MCs love story!!
I would recommend this book if you are a fan of dark and disturbed! It was a FUN READ!
Christian is the man we all deserve damn it 😭 this book was absolutely everything and had me in absolute tears - like now I need more! This was done so freaking well!
The MMC in this book, I swear, he could dang near anything to me and I’d be like “THANK YOU, Daddy! More please!”
My only complaint about this book is that I needed more. I wanted it to be longer! I need more Christian in my life!!!
Mind your triggers. This book starts out in the pitch black and we don’t see the light until the end! I read this as arc and it’s my first Callie Moss book! It won’t be the last!
