Prey for Rabbit

Rate this book
The silver wolf thinks I’m his prey. Little does he know, he’s mine.

The rabbit shifters and the werewolves have had a truce for centuries. Our burrow sets three of our kind loose in the woods on Easter to be hunted, to be slaughtered like the prey we are.

Then, the wolves leave us alone for the rest of the year.

When I’m selected as a sacrifice for this twisted tradition, I refuse to be another victim. All it takes is an abandoned cabin in the woods, an old ax, and the unexpecting wolves thinking I’m an easy target like all the rest.

The silver wolf is the only one who doesn’t underestimate me. It’s just my luck that when I scent him… I go into heat, and his inner beast chooses me for its mate.

Too bad we want each other dead.

Prey for Rabbit is a dark enemies-to-lovers PNR featuring a brutal werewolf and his reluctant bunny-shifter mate. This story contains dark themes and many triggers, including gore, murder, and graphic sexual content. Please check the book’s front matter for the full CW/TW list.

"Dead bunnies don't moan when they're being fucked, Ruthless."

Shewww weee. Jesus. He made her do what with that bloody axe handle? 🥵
Creepy and kinky. I devoured this.
Yearly 3 bunnies are sacrificed on Easter to be hunted by the wolves. For the first time, Carver's wolf wakes, claiming one of the sacrifices is his mate. What will he do??
I loved how Carvers wolf had a mind of his own. The way he hated Ruth, but his wolf was obsessed with her 🤭 The whole part about his twin/her sister was so messed up.
I loved it!
Thank you for the arc.

I really enjoyed this novella!! I felt so bad for Ruth and her cult like community, who are Shifters, who offer up 3 bunnies a year to keep the peace with the wolves. So this year Ruth is picked she said she didn't wanna end up like her sister and die, so she's fighting back. She meets Carver, who is the wolf who doesn't like the hunt and doesn't talk to his wolf until now he also the wolf that plants the bunnies for the pack.

But his wolf is now speaking to him, and he's ready to hunt, but for other reasons 😈 he and his wolf are now fighting kill their bunny or mate her. Lots of push and pull between them..
I love every second of it 🥵🥵🥵 don't worry. We also have pack drama and Ruth finding out which wolf killed her sister. And it's a dooziny.

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

5 Play. Dead. stars!

Ruth is a bunny shifter quite literally thrown to the wolves. Carver is a wolf shifter that finally finds his inner voice upon meeting his “ruthless” mate. These two start out with quite the enemy vibe but of course can’t fight the lust brewing between them.

“That’s a good girl. Your pussy lips look so good pursed around my ax. They’ll look even better wrapped around my cock.”


Ruth goes into heat and needs Carver’s mating mark to make it out alive. But a mating between a bunny and a wolf isn’t done and the ramifications of a mating is bigger than just a quick rut. These two are about to lay it all on the line.

“Damn. I love all your piercings, but I think my favorite piece of jewelry is my hand around your throat.”


While this story was twisted, dark, full of triggers and kinky steam, I really enjoyed the undercurrent of sweetness between Carver and Ruth. It peeked through in the best ways and I loved their HEA.

“You’re mine, Ruth. Your mind. Your soul. Your heart. Your womb. It’s all mine. Isn’t that right?”


Carver was all growly grump, his wolf was all hot AF “mine, mine, mine” and Ruth was a blood thirsty badass. Aiden knocked it out of the park with this spooky-ish smut fest and I LOVED it.

Welcome to Prey for Rabbit—a book that reads like a fever dream fuelled by too much candy corn and a horror movie marathon. Aiden Pierce has served up a story that’s deliciously twisted, barely sane, and unapologetically splatterpunk. Imagine if Bugs Bunny took a wrong turn into The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with a dash of neon, grime, and enough gore to make your popcorn taste funny. Yeah, that’s the vibe.

The plot (if you can call it that) slingshots you into a disturbing rabbit hole with characters who are as deranged as they are unforgettable. Pierce’s descriptions are vivid enough to make your skin crawl in the best possible way. But let’s be real—this book is here to shock, not to be subtle. The gore? Gleefully gratuitous. The humour? Black as tar. The characters? Only as morally sound as roadkill.

Sure, it’s messy and at times even feels like it’s trolling you, like Pierce wanted to see how far he could push the envelope before it tore open completely. But that’s part of the charm. You don’t read Prey for Rabbit expecting literary elegance; you read it for the horror-fuelled chaos, for that little thrill of “I can’t believe I just read that.”

So, is it perfect? Far from it. But if you’re looking for a depraved, roller-coaster trip that’s equal parts horrifying and hilarious, Prey for Rabbit might just be your new guilty pleasure. It’s like watching a campy slasher movie at midnight—a bloody, chaotic mess, but one you’ll remember with a smirk and maybe a shiver.

4.2⭐️. I was lucky enough to meet Aiden Pierce at GWWI (she’s literally so nice) and then got to ARC read Prey for Rabbit!! All I have to say is WOW… that was soooo twisted and 🥵! It’s giving spicy shifter hunger games and I’m here for it! When Ruth is chosen as the sacrifice to keep the peace between the wolf and rabbit shifters, she decides she won’t go willingly to the slaughter!! Please check the trigger!! They are VERY accurate to what you are going to see in this book!!

Was this my first ever dark shifter romance? Absolutely
Would I read another? ABSOLUTELY

This was extremely new to me and is it wrong to say I loved every single minute of it? This follows Carver & Ruth, Carver can shift into a wolf & Ruth.. well she shifts into a bunny. It definitely gives off hunger games vibes with the picking names from a jar and they are the “sacrifice”.

Aiden Pierce definitely knows how to write her story and her spice because when I tell you I was INTRIGUED.. I mean I was intrigued 😭

This was an easy 4 stars and the spice was SPICIN!!! I mean the ax scene?!?! INSANE!!!!!

Sigo tiesa después de haberlo terminado. 🧍🏻‍♀️

Es que me parecía tan imposible que los dos terminarán juntos. O sea, lo sabía pero es que todo era tan complicado que solamente quería llegar al final para saber cómo terminaron juntos.

Jajajja ni se que más decir, a ese punto me dejó este libro.

Solo puedo decir que me cayó mejor el lobo de Carver que él mismo.

This book was so good. I was not expecting this book to be like it was. I was always thinking, how is this going to work? Oh, it definitely works. This book is perfect for Halloween or save it and read it on Easter! Thank you Aiden and your team for allowing me to ARC read this book.

Are fated mates slowly becoming my favorite trope? Now that I’ve read at least five books in a row with that same tribe. I think so!

A rabbit shifter and a werewolf. I never thought I would read a romance about these two things but Aiden’s mind is a wonderful place and I LOVED IT! Could not put it down.

This story follows Carver who is the outcast of his pack and Ruth who is fierce and courageous. They’re perfect for one another.

If you’re looking for a quick read with gore and spicy spice then this is the perfect book for you!

As always Aiden did it again with her unhinged characters!!! This book was absolutely amazing and I love the forbidden-ness of Carver and Ruth relationship. There was so much going on in this books but holy crap was said freaking amazing!!! Carver was definitely on grumpy man and put that into being angry and grieving holy smokes!!! I seriously was not expecting what happened in this book but I’m so glad it happened!!! And Ruth was badass fighting to get out of the situation her home put her in. Seeing them finally decide to say screw it and be together was even more explosive, I’m so glad I got to read this early and give my review because you all need to read how amazing it is!!!

Oh my LORDT. Cute pet names? Check. Violence? Check. Blood? Double check. Love? Ohh not at all. Fucking? Triple Check.

Check the trigger warnings for this book! But if you don't have any triggers then read it! If you like primal *anything* then you will adore this book. The chases are so good.

I keep coming back to this book, the chase scenes are so so good. They resonate with me so well with how they're written and the feelings they invoke.

I absolutely devoured this book! Be sure to check the content warnings but if you like dark and extra spicy this is a great Halloween read. It's definitely a page turner and kept me enthralled throughout every scene. The pacing was quick, as it must be for a hunt. 😈🤩

Aiden writes a beautiful balance of spicy in this MF bunny shifter x werewolf shifter romance, she was just supposed to be a sacrifice and yet she made the beast wake. 😉

If you like:
• MF
• Mating
• Primal chase scenes
• Knotty goodness
• 🪓🩸axe play
• Unaliving/redrum revenge
• Dirty talk
• Breeding but no pregnancy
• Heat cycle
• and so much more

Read it! It's on KU and it's a short & spicy read with plot, but the spicy is the main event and we LOVE it! A blog post will follow ASAP 😘

ARC REVIEW 🪓

I came for the smut and here’s how it went.

Let me start by saying thank you to Aiden for my first ARC and bringing back my love for dark romance 🖤 after a hand full of reads this brought me back to life, this short story I begged not to end had me GAGGED….

Spice 1000000/10 🌶️🌶️🥵🌶️🌶️ plot!? 10/10
When I say you get the lore, world building, and the spice all in one scrumptious dish 🖤 I MEAN IT

How will it end, what’re they going to do, he/she did what!?!? Enemies to lovers has a new meaning….and good lord do I want to be hunted down.

I said I wanted smut and I got it over and over. From his SWEAT PANTS to his demeanor. I feel so twisted in wanting to be this bunny shifter so badly…just check my highlights I can’t discuss anymore…I need to reread this 🌹🥴😉



Highlights *****

The impression my hands left on her dainty throat did dark things to me.

“I’ll tongue fuck you into fucking oblivion.”

If I caused her pain, it would be the kind that would leave her desperate for more.

"I'll tear out every throat that stands in the way of your survival. I'll watch the whole world bleed for you, Ruthless."

3 rabbit shifters are sacrificed in the woods to run from wolf shifters that are hunting them to sate themselves with rabbit blood.
Our MMC Carver’s wolf doesn’t speak to him until Ruth, our FMC is sent as one of the sacrifices.

THE SMUT THO?! UNHINGED!!
I rarely read wolf shifter/rabbit shifter romance, BUT I COULDNT PUT THIS DOWN!
The plot was just enough for a book of this size and the smut was perfection!

Aiden Pierce kills it again!! 🖤
Thank you again for early access to this arc!

My Review:
5 ⭐️ 4.8 🌶️

Prey for Rabbit by Aiden Pierce is a scorching, primal thrill ride where a rebellious bunny shifter, Ruth, refuses to be just another sacrifice. Enter Carver, the silver-haired werewolf whose wolf finally wakes up—and all it wants is her. Their chemistry is instant, explosive, and hotter than a bonfire, with Ruth pushing back at every turn while Carver’s instincts scream mine.

It’s enemies-to-lovers with claws: Ruth’s fierce, stabby defiance vs. Carver’s animalistic need to claim what’s his. The tension? Off-the-charts. The spice? Enough to leave you breathless. Dark, delicious, and wickedly wild, this novella will make your heart race and your pulse pound.

This was so much fun to read. It reads smoothly and I appreciate the fast pace. It doesn't overstay its welcome and leaves you satisfied.

Also where can I get myself a loner lumberjack werewolf with issues? Asking for a friend of course.

There’s so many problematic things in this book but you know what? Even so, this one had a little bit of plot which we can’t say for all the books in that collection. I’ll rate up a little bit.

Arc review-

This was my first shifter (horror) romance. Was it different?yes. Did I enjoy it?yes. It was odd and very shocking but I did enjoy it, a perfect level of spice any monster romance lover can enjoy. I guess it starts my dark romance month for October early 😅

I always love going into Aiden’s books blind and I’ve never been disappointed. I devoured this book like a starving wolf. Bunny and werewolf shifters?? Yes please! This was hot and heavy with major primal play. Forbidden doesn’t mean anything to Ruth and Carver. As the outsiders,they find each other and things get messy but oh so hot.
Seriously, leave your morels at the door or in this case at the edge of the forest. Dive into the rabbit hole and just hang on for the ride. It won’t disappoint, I promise!
