Scream Baby Scream

by Sonia Palermo

One night.
One masked stalker.
Two rules.

The only thing I don't bargain for is the stranger lurking in the shadows, watching as our scene plays out.

As lines blur between pleasure and danger, sanctity and sin, fantasy and reality collide. But when it's time for the night to end, will I be able to walk away, or will my darkest fantasies consume me?

we love masked men who fully respect the first C in CNC

If you're looking for a steamy halloween novella, this is a good one to read.

I love the game that Tatum is starting with someone online, Wes. They talked about everything, and she's giving herself up to him, her own fantasy. Little did she know the game Wes had set up. Is alittle twisted 🥵.

I won't give away much about their game, but there is a 3rd person in the mix. The spice is delicious the dirty talk one of them has is purrrfect!!! The 2 MMC know how to have a good time with their girl.

I felt the group was a little off near the end.. but that's me. I do wish the ending happened differently, but this could lead to a longer book? Who knows. But it was enjoyable.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, drama, sexy times, no virgins

Tatum is looking for a one of kind night that will bring all of her fantasies to life. She finds Wes online and they start chatting and decide that they are going to play. And when Wes surprises Tatum with someone else to join, things go from great to amazing for the three of them.

This book is short, spicy, dark, and fun. I absolutely devoured this! This is a dark, Halloween themed MFM novella.

If this book was more than 79 pages I would’ve dnf.

Which is unfortunate bc the cover is one of the coolest cover designs.

This was like stepping into your own personal serial killer horror film! The vibes were giving, the characters were fun and spicy.

Definitely a good way to start the spooky season 🥵 👻

3.25 ⭐️ short and spicy novella.

I kind of wish we saw more of a slasher/spooky vibe to it. But overall a fun read 🤪👻🌶️

I want more of their story! What happened after the party? Do the boys become boyfriends? Is there an HEA?! Why is he non verbal? I need more!

Quick read about a kinky Halloween night where her darkest fantasies come true with a guy she has been talking to online! (All events were previously consented to).

79 pages of depravity. A halloween novella that is definitely for the scream girlies.

[Hayley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Scream baby scream was a great novella. Wes and Trick are two masked men who are unhinged and always get what they want. I loved how short and spicy it was. I hope we get another book featuring them because I would love to read more!

[Libbies_library · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was simply a fun and spicy little Halloween esque novella.

The type of dark romance I can get behind - where the author knows the difference between dubcon, CNC, and a rapist's wet dream and does well.

Ngl I totally wanted to be the FMC in this 🤣

A nice, smutty little Halloween read! 🎃🔥

Short, spicy, entertaining, and with a pretty good twist at the end that I definitely appreciated. 👀

And can we talk about Tatum for a second?

Because GIRL. You’re one lucky woman. 😂

Wes and Ash? CHEF’S FUCKING KISS. 🤌🔥

Honestly, sometimes all I want is a quick, deliciously smutty Halloween read with a little surprise thrown into the mix, and this one delivered exactly that.

Nothing overly complicated, just a fun, spicy time with two men I certainly wouldn’t complain about.

Do check the trigger warnings, though! This one might be short and entertaining, but that doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. 🖤

🇵🇹

Uma leitura de Halloween curtinha, smutty e bastante divertida! 🎃🔥

Rápida, spicy, entretida e com um plot twist no final que gostei bastante de encontrar. 👀

E podemos falar da Tatum por um segundo?

Porque GIRL. Que mulher sortuda. 😂

O Wes e o Ash? CHEF’S FUCKING KISS. 🤌🔥

Honestamente, às vezes tudo o que quero é uma leitura de Halloween rápida, com um bom smut e uma surpresinha pelo meio, e este livro entregou exatamente isso.

Nada demasiado complicado, apenas uma leitura divertida e spicy com dois homens dos quais eu certamente não me queixaria.

Atenção aos trigger warnings, though! Pode ser uma leitura curta e divertida, mas isso não significa que seja para toda a gente. 🖤

I needed more

Okay, this was exactly what I needed right now.

I could NOT put Scream Baby Scream down. Even though it’s a shorter read, I was so invested that by the time I got to the end I was sitting there thinking, “Wait… I need MORE.” I honestly could have read so much more of this world and these characters because I was completely hooked.

The MMF dynamic was exactly what I was looking for, and sometimes you just need a book that focuses less on a complicated plot and more on the vibes, tension, and absolute chaos. This delivered that for me.

The masked stalker, the blurred lines between fantasy and reality, and the overall dark and twisted atmosphere had me locked in from the beginning. It was intense, addictive, and definitely not the kind of book I wanted to put down.

My only complaint is that I wanted more. Give me more of these characters, more of the tension, and honestly just MORE.

This was a quick read, but it packed a punch, and I absolutely devoured it!

Please, please check the trigger warnings before reading because this book is FULL of them.

𐙚 Obtuve lo que buscaba, una historia corta, entretenida, dark y muy kinky ✨ Ideal para la spooky season 🎃

𐙚 El plot es predecible e igual a muchas otras historias de este tipo, que básicamente es una mujer que está dispuesta a todo para cumplir sus fantasías más oscuras y él (o ellos en este caso 👀), quien lo da todo para cumplir las fantasías de ella. Esta es una formula que me funciona a 100 ALL THE TIME. Me lo leí en nada de tiempo, fue adictivo, sucio, levemente profundo y yo AMÉ 🖤

𐙚 Lo único es contra es el final. CÓMO DETESTO LOS FINALES ABIERTOS. Yo necesito que me digan con lujos y detalles lo felices que serán los personajes por la ETERNIDAD. Eso no lo obtuve de aquí, pero ya es cosa de gustos y preferencias, es un detalle que no perjudicó para nada la experiencia de lectura.


➺ OJO: leer los TW porque esto está POTENTE

This is a short novella and sometimes I don’t enjoy these types of books because of how quick and forced they can be if not written well. Not with this one though! I truly enjoyed this read and though I wish it were longer, it was so well written and the detail was phenomenally done that I didn’t even care.

It’s an erotic horror? romance? Well- I’m not great with categories, but I felt the fright that Tatum felt and the passion between her and the men, “Trick and Wes,” was undeniable. The spicy scenes were *chefs kiss* and I loved that the epilogue was in Wes’ POV because it gave a change of pace and a bit more pizazz to the story!

This is a first for me of Sonia’s writing, but I can’t wait to see what else she comes out with in the future!

Scream Baby Scream by Sonia Palermo will now be one of my favorite spicy Halloween Novellas during spooky season. I loved the communication, the trust, and the understanding between the MMCs, Ash and Wes, and the FMC, Tatum. I greatly appreciated that they set boundaries, respected them, and followed safe words. Sometimes with novellas that gets lost in translation, but this did an amazing job of it. Short, spicy, and sweet! I highly recommend.

"For all the good girls who dream of getting railed by Ghostface. Wh settle for one when you can have two?"

And railed she got. This book is smutty goodness, less plot. I am glad everything was explained a little bit in the end though. This novella is short, dark and spicy. A quick read perfect for spooky season (or if you're like me: perfect for whenever 😜).

⭐️⭐️⭐️.💫/5

[Bex · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was expecting this to have more of a slasher theme to it given the cover and description. Apart from it starting at a Halloween party it isn't really a seasonal read. I was expecting a chase and it to have darker themes, it ended up just being smut. I did enjoy the dynamic between the 2 MMCs and how they interact

[Ashley Obara · Rating 4 out of 5]

A dark, fun, smutty little read!

So, admittedly, this was my first smutty read. As a horror, paranormal lover, the title caught me and I did little research. Would I have picked this as my virgin smut read? Probably not! However, I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

[Teneil · Rating 5 out of 5]

Smutty, fun, and exactly my kind of Halloween entertainment. I fucking loved this one!

Scream Baby Scream delivers masked men, ’90s slasher vibes, and a why-choose situation where my answer was immediately BOTH. The dedication knew its target audience, and apparently that audience was me. Personally. 😂

Sometimes I just want a short, filthy read that lets me switch my brain off and enjoy the chaos. This was exactly that. A ridiculously fun little escape with enough spice to make spooky season considerably warmer.

My taste in fictional men remains questionable, and I’m making absolutely no effort to fix it. 🖤🔪

What can I say but I need to scream praises for this book!

Scream Baby Scream by Sonia Palermo is the perfect little Novella for Spooky Season. Or you know if you just like your men masked year round!

Wes and Trick are every unhinged girls dream, the perfect blend of sweet and extra spicy they bring so much to the table.

They stalk and take what they want and Tatum loves it all.

The suspense in such a short book 😮‍💨

I can only hope that Sonia gives us more 😉
