🔪 🔪🔪🔪(this is the level of unhinged)
This book is FREAKING INCREDIBLE.
Guy.
I’m not kidding. If you have ever felt any kind of feminine rage in your life, you will adore this book.
The vindication you get from it.
The absolute pleasure you get to take in some of the characters pain.
It’s incredible.
The character ARC in Raven is EVERYTHING.
I am fully obsessed with her. I need more of her.
Luna… I love this book so so so so so much.
This book is perfect in every way.
(It’s insanely dark. Please read the triggers.)

Other than that, it was the perfect amount of unhinged!!

Releasing Raven is an erotic horror novella written by Luna Knight. If you want a book that screams feminine rage, this one is for you!

The book follows three main characters: Raven and the Black brothers, Dorian and Malachi. The book has a multi-person POV. What happens when you are the target of an annual hunt? Do you roll over and take it like a good girl? Hell no. You bring them to their knees!

This book had such delicious revenge! I loved watching Raven come into her own and regain her power. I will never look at a candy cane the same way again. I usually read this type of body horror in Splatterpunk, and I was giddy reading it.

I can’t wait to read more books like this, Luna! Loved it!

Thank you to Luna Knight for gifting me an eARC of Releasing Raven. I am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A dark plunge into forbidden desire!

Releasing Raven by Luna Knight? Obsessed. This book grabbed me by the throat—in the best way—and refused to let go. Raven is fierce, messy, dangerous, and undeniably magnetic. Her story drips with vengeance, power, and raw, reckless heat. The spice isn’t just sprinkled in—it’s poured all over the pages. Every scene crackles with sexual tension, dark desires, and emotional chaos that hits like a punch to the chest. Luna Knight doesn’t play it safe—she pushes boundaries and dives headfirst into the wicked and the wild. The romance? Toxic and tender. The danger? Constant. And the intensity? Straight-up addictive. I couldn’t stop reading and didn’t want to. Raven’s journey is brutal, beautiful, and so damn satisfying. If you're into morally gray characters, shadowy secrets, and heat that scorches—this one delivers. Hard. I devoured every dark, dirty, delicious word of it.

“I swear to god if I get bored, I’m going home to my books. They never let me down,”

I am absolutely convinced Luna can do no wrong and no one can tell me otherwise wise! From the moment I started this book, ohhhh dear gods was I in a CHOKEHOLD 😮‍💨

“Not so fast, little death angel. You’re coming with us,”

I’ve read some pretty bad4ss FMCs before but Raven here.. yeah, she takes the cake. There’s just something about her that made me want to watch her get whatever she wanted no matter what happened. Shes pretty cool 🤭

“None of them will survive tonight. Not a single one.  Except me.”

And the ending?!? I was a complete mess, literally spamming EVERYONE with my reactions because I just COULD NOT believe what I was reading but it was so so so so good 😮‍💨😭

Overall an amazing read, especially if you are looking for a ‘take no sh!t’ kind of FMC. Luna I love you forever and ever and you are never getting rid of me now 🤭😆

I absolutely love Luna Knights range of writing. I think Ive read everything she has written to date and she never fails to amaze me. This is a dark erotic horror novella and its amazing. Check your triggers before starting and if that settles well with you then dive in! you will not be disappointed. Raven is our FMC, and she is my absolute favorite, she is a kick butt woman! The story follows Raven and the Black Brothers ( Malachi and Dorian). The Black Brothers have targeted Raven and they did not what they were in for. Raven is on a mission for revenge and will stop at nothing to regain her power. This novella was short but it its full of dark twists, unexpected turns and all the spice. Absolutely YES!

Wow oh wow!!! I'm a little speechless and don't know how to explain how much I loved this book!!!

Luna Knight is an amazing writer. I just love how her mind creates these characters and all the fucked up shit they get up too!!

Releasing Raven was a short novella that had lots of twists that had my jaw dropping and my mind saying what in the actual fuck, at the same time questioning myself as to why I enjoyed reading it so much.

Releasing Raven was dark, twisted, sinfully depraved, and oh so so smutty!!! I wish there was more of it.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves and enjoys to read dark & twisted romance.

MINOR SPOILERS! THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE!

I found this book on Tik Tok. I was forewarned that this was not a romance so that was good to know. This book is full of taboo, dark, extremely messed up and messy descriptions, actions, and gore. This is not a book for readers who do not enjoy dark romance, horror, or erotica. This book is dark, messy, and twisted.

In saying that, I actually quite enjoyed reading this book. Without giving all the details away - The FMC is an introverted person by nature but by no way is submissive. She meets 2 men and as the book progresses she takes back her control in a very brutal and graphic nature.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

WOW! This is a dark, spicy, and thrilling novella!

It blends erotic horror with feminine rage in the best way 🖤
the Novella follows Raven and the Black brothers - Dorian and Malachi - it's multi-POV story explores what happens when the hunted fights back.
Raven's journey of revenge and reclaiming her power is both shocking and satisfying with twists that will keep you hooked until the very last word.
Luna, you've done it again! This delivers unforgettable characters and moments that redefine vengeance. This short but intense read left me giddy and eager for more like it

What did I just read? This was a LOT.
I’m a Luna Knight fan so wanted to give it a go even though it’s not my normal genre and definitely confirmed that this genre is not for me.
Nothing wrong with the book itself, the writing was good, the story horrifying and it fit the description of a holiday horror novella to a T.
Absolutely do not skim read the trigger and content warnings. At all. Read them and if in doubt, definitely don’t.
I’m sure horror readers will enjoy this one.

Didn't Expect That Outcome

This is a short, spicy and dark read.

This starts with a quiet FMC who finally agreed to go out with coworkers after work. Everything changes when she finds herself under the eye of the owners. These brothers have chosen her as their target. She won't be going down as easy as they thought.

I was surprised by the twist in this line tle book but also it was fantastic.

Amazeballs. This book is sooo goooood, can't even explain it. I felt so many emotions and the rage was spot on for the part. I just knew revenge could be oh so sweet. Our little Raven is my spirit animal/person I swear, everything, I mean everything is so revegengish that I wished I could have been her in the past. The characters, awesome, the storyline amazing and Luna Knight is just all that and more and well, she just knows!

Releasing Raven by Luna Knight is an erotic horror novella.

This is the second book of Luna’s that I have read it won’t be my last. I was pulled in immediately and couldn’t wait to see how it was all going to play out. All I can say is wow what a ride.

I would recommend this book if you’re looking for an erotic horror novella. This book gives you plenty of spice and gore that leave you begging for more.

Releasing Raven is a crazy, completely unhinged, EXTREMELY dark, splatterpunk romance that is deviously dark. Be sure to thoroughly read Luna's content warnings because this book gets pretty heavy. It's packed with chaotic emotions, feminine rage and oh so satisfying revenge. It's a spicy quick read perfect for the holiday season. Raven is a complete badass and I absolutely adored her character. She was so strong and I loved watching her grow even though it was a short read. Very well done!

Oh my.. this book was so surprising and absolutely amazing. It was not what I was expecting at all. When I thought I knew it was gonna happen, something opposite and crazy happened instead. But I would totally read this book over again. It was like watching a movie in my head. And the feminine rage and revenge aspect of it? One of the best parts! If you’re looking for an unexpected, very dark, short story about revenge on those who deserve it, this is your story!

This is not for the faint of heart at all.

Luna Knight went all out on this book and didn't let up one bit, and i loved it. Raven is one strong FMC, and with the two MMC that take advantage of raven do they really live to tell the tale of what really took place. Only time will tell 🥀.

⚠️ Please read triggers before diving in ⚠️

This book may be short but it definitely isn’t sweet and it’s not for the faint hearted! This book is a dark and depraved story about a woman who is out for revenge against the men who took something she wasn’t willing to give. If you can get past the TWs then you’ll enjoy the story, spice and horror aspects of this book. Brilliant read!

A fun little holiday novella which ticks the horror genre box quite nicely and with a kickass FMC. I need more stories like this in my life, with female empowerment, where they regain their sense of self after experiencing some of the worst atrocities women can go through. A first Luna Knight read for me, placing the author on my watchlist after this.

This book was a lot! I loved the feminine rage aspect but there was no love story to make it a romance book, even within the horror genre. I loved the revenge that Raven gets on the Black Brothers!

7/10 (rounded up to 4⭐️)

Eh. It totally contradicted itself at one point.... went from "nobody touches her" to "everyone can touch her" over the matter of a single page and I was just like... did we forget about the threat a minute ago?

Be warned, this is not your normal romance, this is erotic horror and consideration should be taken for content before picking it up! Now, this story is completely full of amazing feminine rage and one of the most unhinged FMCs I have read. This is a quick read BUT it is the first in a series and I CANNOT wait for more Horror Babies!
