Cain: Everything ceases when he sees her at the gas station off Old Highway 28. Even the voices in his head. Armed with his training, wits, and a few weapons, Cain sets off on the hunt of a lifetime. One that'll only end in bloodshed.

Nothing could've prepared Grace for the Christmas she was about to have. On her way to her parents' house for Christmas Eve dinner, she realizes she's being followed. There's no escaping the man who has set her in his sights, either.

What can I say? This was simply perfect.

I’m always very skeptical about these types of tropes because they often end in ways that feel unreasonable or unrealistic. But not this one. Nope, this story is a masterful depiction of Stockholm Syndrome, and it was just perfect.

It’s a short read, but it’s incredibly well-structured, with a smooth flow and an engaging writing style.

Cain is a surgeon with a peculiar urge that strikes every Christmas, and Grace is an unlucky girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What I really appreciated about this book is that the FMC doesn’t immediately fall for her captor. Instead, the progression is slow and believable. Most of her decisions are focused on staying alive and surviving an impossible situation, and they are often the smartest choices she could make.

Be sure to check your trigger warnings because this one is unhinged! ‼️

I strongly recommend Little Puppet to all those who enjoy pitch black reads 🤍

" Mind Blown, if you thought Neo and Stupid Girl were unhinged, you haven't seen Cain and Puppet."


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Plot: 5/5

Check your trigger warnings, because this reaches all new levels of what did I just read‼️

Grace is by far one of the most strongest FMCs, I have read!!!
She not only has a background in psychology she then turns the game on him, like I don't know anymore who is puppet and who is master because these two together played a hard game 🔥

I don't normally like my FMC to be as unhinged as my MCC but, I think for Grace her innocence and her background in what she does for a living and what she went to school for I think it plays a big part in how truly unhinged she.

Also the amount of jaw dropping quotes in this book that will make you stop and go what in the ever living flip is astounding I mean these two played each other like fiddles 🖤

I know that Cain has no redeemable qualities to him but the way this man could not fathom Grace's feelings towards him truly broke me.

And Grace started out playing this man from the get-go and the fact that she ends up having a SS but then morphs it into a love for this man and then she unravels herself it just made the last like four chapters the best you could ever want because you truly see how she unravels throughout the entire story but the last like four to five chapters you see just how perfect she is for him and not only did he break her she broke him ‼️

⛓️ If you're looking for a book that is going to psychologically leave you on the edge this is for you.

⛓️ If you're wanting a man who is beyond savable this is for you.

⛓️ If you're wanting a girl who can turn into what this man truly needs this is for you.

⛓️ If you're looking for chains loops bo**age this is for you.

⛓️ I could not put the book down and if you're wanting a book that'll leave you in a book hangover this is for you.

No I want to make this very clear this is a book please remember this is fictional it is not real ‼️

If you loved Captor by K.M., then you are absolutely going to go "feral" for this book! This book is for us women that love a psycho man that will feed us and call us his "good little wh@re".

As soon as I started reading this book, I was all in. I could not stop reading. If it was not for real life and work, I would have had this book finished in a matter of hours. The only good thing I can say about the fact that I was not able to read the book in hours is that I was able to make it last longer.

I should fear Cain but all I can do is droll for him. Every time that Cain played with Grace left me exhausted in a good way. K.M. did not skimp on the SPICE. This book is one that you are going to want to read and reread.

Dual POV, Spicy, Dark Romance, Novella, Small Town, Serial Killer MMC, Trigger Warnings

*Check Trigger Warnings*
Holy shit, this novella is everything you could want out of a dark serial killer romance. He's obsessive, methodical, and absolutely loses his mind when he meet Grace the first of his victims who seems to get off on the darkness inside him. The tension between them makes this such a thrilling read as both Grace and Cain struggle to rationalize the emotion the other provokes. I wish the characterization of Grace had gone a little deeper but overall this is a fast paced steamy dark romance that will have have you hooked from chapter one.

I swear KM Mixon puts something addictive in her books, I completely devour them. Little Puppet was no exception, I read this in one sitting! I am absolutely feral for captor/captive romances and this one was perfect. I somehow managed to completely fall for Cain, even though he is a serial unaliver. He is deliciously obsessive, unhinged and spicy. And I loved how he fell for his little puppet. It's the little things KM includes that helps you fall for her unhinged MMCs. If you're looking for a spicy, unhinged holiday novella then read this book!

Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Merry Christmas? Off the hook 🪝! I was really not expecting Grace’s character at all !! She’s unhinged and for her to be a player and not just another victim 💋. Cain is more is also more than a typical psycho with damage and he could never have imagined he’d meet a gal like Grace ❤️‍🩹🖤.
Fantastic read it’s a novella so it is a short fast paced book 📕. I really recommend this for my fellow dark romance readers !!!

Please check for author notes and warnings ⛔️⚠️ mental health matters ❤️‍🩹.

If you want something super dark to listen to on Halloween night, look no further my friends. Never in my life has my jaw dropped so hard at just the TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!!

If you’re looking for a spicy, morally black read with Jeepers Creepers serial killer vibes…this one’s it. But don’t go into it think this guy is redeemable, he is not. He’s the darkest, most depraved fantasy you’ve hidden from everyone brought to life in this audiobook.

Happy listening 🎧🖤💀

KM Mixon has done it again yall. I swear I devour everything she writes! This book had me HOOKED from the beginning.

Cain is looking for the perfect puppet to play with around Christmas time, then get rid of her til next year.

Grace was on her way home to her mom's for Christmas when she gets caught in Cains sight.

Little did both of them know what they were getting into.

**Please check the trigger warnings before diving in**

Well that was a very different Christmas book! Cain has two sides to him; one, three respectable, upstanding doctor; the other, the psychotic murderer.
Grace is captured and initially uses her knowledge of psychology to play his game and try to cheat her inevitable death.
The spice was unhinged. The plot was unhinged. This could have easily been expanded into a longer novel. A quick, WTF food i just read type of book that was thoroughly enjoyable

KM is twisted and I’m f*cking here for it!!! Her new audio for this is done very well & the story well WTAF was that and why did I love it so much!? 🫣🔥🔥🔥

This book is not for everyone, it is definitely dark and twisted don’t take the trigger warnings lightly 💖

If you enjoy trigger warnings and treat them like a shopping list, well then you’ve found the right book/author! 🥰

K.M. Mixon has done it again. Cain and Grace are depraved in the most delicious way. Finding herself kidnapped, Grace is trying to survive the kidnapper. Only to find something a little more sinister. Chef's kiss! Love it!
