Every good bedtime story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. But this one? It started in the middle—
The middle of the woods. The middle of the night. The middle of nowhere. The kind of place where no one could hear you scream… unless they wanted to.
And trust me, the nine shadowy figures watching me through the window? They wanted to hear everything.
They didn’t come bearing gifts. They came bearing hunger.
They weren’t the only ones ready to play reindeer games, though. I might’ve been caught, cold, and cornered… but I’d always had a soft spot for holiday chaos. Even if the odds were stacked against me.
Because, baby, I don’t just handle a challenge. I f*ck it raw and ask for seconds. The more the merrier.
THEM
The cabin was supposed to be empty. A safehouse. Instead, we found her. All curves and fire and just begging to be unwrapped.
A real Christmas miracle.
She didn’t scream. She smiled. She didn’t beg us to let her go. She dared us to keep her.
And what was more festive than cracking open a present early?
Especially when that present moaned when you touched it, tasted like sin, and came tied up with a bow—sprawled out in front of us and absolutely ours.
We didn’t go looking for holiday cheer. But hell if we weren’t going to fill her with some.
The More the Merrier is a dark, standalone novella with a HFN. Please heed the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.
What do you get when you have a horror lover with daddy issues? A whorror author! I am all things gore and (w)horror! My list of publications is the Reflections series, the connective Asylum Devils series, Bodies duet, Bloody Valentine from the St. Valentine series, and Mara of the Wellard asylum series. I have a lot of works in progress and can't wait to share them with you all!
dark and twisted. spicy to the max!!! 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 erotic horror is how I would classify it. 9 men on the run from a prison breakout. 1 young woman in her grandmother's cabin in the woods. totally different, yet somehow the same.
Hilariously deranged and cleverly executed, The More The Merrier is an unhinged holiday delight.
Sybil Knight and SK Pryntz deliver a nonstop sleigh ride straight into one of the season’s best dark holiday horrors. The story leans fully into festive chaos. Is fast-paced, clever, and wickedly entertaining.
The characters are a perfect mix of delusional and delightful, each one feral in their own way. Rudy and Que’s dynamic absolutely stole the show for me; their banter and bond felt authentic and natural. And Nikkie? She is a totally sprite of chaos. Every scene with her made me grin.
The writing is smooth, the pacing never slows, and the world is festive in the most unholy way. This was pure, chaotic fun from start to finish.
It’s a one sitting read with a lot 🌶️ some plot and twists 🫦
Nickie, is her granny’s cabin enjoying making Christmas cookies. When she sees a shadow outside. The shadows outside see her too. The knock at the door, a Que being the most ‘gentlemanly’ of the group ensures they gain entry. Nickie, is loving nothing more than entertaining (tongue in cheek) the eight men who enter! Not giving you anymore than this 🤭
This poly story has a little of everything, like a mixed bag of sweets strewn across the floor. We have a lot of spice, I mean given there are eight men and one red head woman in a small secluded cabin. Little back stories, there are fun and games, but given these two authors you just know something is afoot. Loved reading about their exploits and learning the secret 😬
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 📕 Standalone 🗣️ Multi POV 🔪 Horror Erotica 🌗 Dark Rating: Gray [Broken Meter so read at your own risk] 💥 READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS 𑿛 Plot- Its there but not the main focus 🖤 MMFMMMMMMM [9 MC's 1 FMC]
I knew straight out the gate that with both S.K & Sybil putting their flare on this book, I was going to be in for a wild ass ride and it was gonna be unhinged to the max..... I was not disappointed 😂
While there is "plot" to this story, its not the main point so do not go into this thinking plot heavy...but the plot that we do get is super good, and honestly I found myself wanting more of Nikki's deranged ass. I also wished like hell there was an epilogue cause it ended so abruptly and I NEED to know how Nikki and the guys end with with their arrangement.
I have a feeling there will be more, and I absolutely can't wait for it!
Tropes: 🩸 Forced Proximity 🖤 Friends & Lovers 🩸 Primal Play 🖤 Boyfriends are Boyfriends 🩸 Grumpy x Sunshine 🖤 Holiday Novella but Make it Horror
i want whatever they’re smoking. i’m stealing those pot christmas cookies 🎅🏼🍪🍃
ho ho hoeeee !! nine dicks on the run after a prison outbreak approaching your grandmothers cottage for shelter
me personally this was too incredibly comical. i’m not a comedy girl so if you like that i suggest this. it was still enjoyable to lighten the christmas spirit though i literally couldn’t take any of them seriously with the consistent cringey jokes & nicknames they were calling each other
* soda pop * thumper * anything besides that please
right when i thought i reached an ending point there was a little bit of gore & mystery thrown in would’ve been a higher rating only if i were devouring those pot christmas cookies. give them to me !!
want a lot of orgies & men on men action? well this is certainly meant for you sweetie <3 and as granny always said, the more the merrier
“my ears were ringing, my boys were singing, and balls were swinging in this winter wonderland.”
The title of this book pretty much sums up what is going to happen. 1 girl and 9 men!
The storyline was top tier! When it comes to RH sometimes I find it lacking but with this book there is no lacking. There is also amazing character back stories. All the characters get back story and I am here for it!
The spicy is off the chain. There is so much debauchery, secrets, cinnamon, spicy, and don't forget the more the merrier!
Spicy and oh so nice. This book had me questioning things. What's wrong with this girl, where is the 9th friend. Where is granny? Red really gets to play all the games with her boys. That ending though! Like I need more! More Rudy and Que and all the boys.
Knowing that Sybil was one of the authors in this book, I knew it was going to be one for the books and it definitely delivered. This little spicy ball of dark holiday chaos is just the thing you need this season, and ommmmmggg is it going to have you going wtf did I just read!!?!?!!! When nine men break out of prison and land on Nicki’s grandmother’s cabin doorstep, things start getting weird and spicy. This little novella is just as spicy as the plot is good. This is a multi pov story and the banter between the characters is so delicious. Definitely a must read!!
Plot: 2/5 • Smut: 4/5 —————> Okay. Okay. This? I’m still trying to process whatever the hell this was.
8 convicts escape from prison and wind up a cabin that Nickie has taken over from her grandma. They show up out of no where and welcomes them right in. Nickie is absolutely off her rocker. She’s insane. Instead of having any ounce of concern she’s worried about when she can orgasm next. She’s literally a nymphomaniac and now has her pick of the litter.
This whole book she’s literally tossed around. The two main convicts , Rudy and Que, who are together for the most part, are suspicious of her and are out for their missing member who has yet to show up at the cabin. Little do they know he’s already dead.
This ends with nothing resolved and very abruptly. Which also pissed me off. At least have a solid conclusion… whatever. I’m glad it’s over.
This book was unhinged and I am here for it! I should have known just based off of the dedication. Nickie is crazy but I’m obsessed with it! Don’t even get me started on the spicy. This was such a fun ride!
I'm convinced that this book was written by a 14 year old boy and I can't comprehend how there are so many 5 star reviews. First off, if this cabin is supposed to not be on ANY map then how the hell does it have electricity? There's no generator because it was never mentioned when the power went out so some electric company has this place on their map.
Second, there's no way in hell that two guys armed with random shit they found around the house and caught a bunch of fish, killed two bucks and then completely skinned the deer to include the skulls.
The sex in this is super mid and there's nothing interesting about it. Nickie is disgusting and I can see that the authors were trying to make her crazy but did she have to say boobies all the time? Really? The word boobies isn't even remotely sexy.
Also, what in the actual fuck was that ending?!!! It tied everything up in the dumbest way and then just abruptly ends. I'm actually mad that my group picked this for our Christmas read. Somehow this shit was WORSE than Carving for Cara, and I didn't think that was possible.
Here we meet our main characters. Nickie is at her grandma’s cabin for Christmas when suddenly nine guys—nine convicts—show up out of “nowhere”. And She instead of being scared, she basically invites them to her own private party. And what’s that private party about? Everything you can imagine. Whatever comes to mind, this book has it. If you like spicy? You’ll get plenty.🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ If you like other stuff? You won’t be missing that either. 🤭🫣😅😂😂
This story completely blows my mind. I spent most of the book going, “what the fuck is this?” while also cracking up at times (I think my insanity is just as crazy as the authors’ 😂 )
And, honestly, it doesn’t even surprise me—coming from Sybil and SK, I expected something wild, and they didn’t disappoint.🤭🤪🤪😂😂
And that ending makes me suspect this might not be the end, and those two might still have a few surprises up their sleeve.😏🤭😈😈
It was Christmas morning and Santa had brought me the best gift of all. Someone to play with. Sure, nine someones crammed together in a tiny cabin in the middle of the woods might not have been ideal, but like Granny always said, when it came to family… the more, the merrier."
Well wasn't this a spicy little Christmas treat 😈 9 criminals meet their match when they stumble upon Nickie in her grannies cabin in the woods. It didn't take them long to realize she was just as crazy as they were. Her and her Grannie were giving me "Monster/EdGein" vibes 😳 This isn't just smut, there's a depraved storyline too, with an unexpected little twist at the end. There was also a twisted game of Twister, a christmas light up the butt, alot of weed, and all the criminals were named like the reindeer 😅 This was a dark, fun novella, I enjoyed it. Thank you Sybil Knight & SKPryntz for letting me arc read.
Available for you to read December 11th ! CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️
The More the Merrier by S.K.Pryntz and Sybil Knight was a phenomenal dark holiday read for this Smutmas. ❤️ Thank you so much for allowing me to ARC read! From the dedication alone (10/10 dedication btw!!!), I KNEW this was going to be a hot, spicy, fun read. Boy was I correct! I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting.
9 escaped convicts, 1 girl, alone in a cabin in the middle of nowhere during a snowstorm. How wrong could this possibly go? Or should I say how right? In this multiple pov, dark romance, holiday novella, there was plot twist after plot twist that kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. We get multiple POVs to help the story unravel which worked so well with the different plot elements. Not to mention, the spice was spicy, and it was hot as hell.
Ugh, THE END!!! I wanna know more! These cliffhangers are killing me yall.. 😭 Everything aside, The More the Merrier is a book I highly recommend.
Holy morally black characters! Also can we talk about how two amazing authors who love to give us deliciously dark and twisted stories have come together?!
Nickie is one feisty redhead and when 9 convicts invade her cabin, well let’s just say it turns very spicy. Santa brought her gifts a little early this year. I loved that each of the men had a nickname that referenced one of Santa’s reindeers. This was not a Christmas book, it’s a horror erotica that will blow your socks off!
Nickie is feral for each of these men and she will do whatever it takes to get it from them. I also loved the side relationship of Rudy and Que.
This book was full of twists, turns, spice, and let’s just say you will never look at Christmas lights the same way again.
My only complaint, I want more! It’s the worst part of a novella, I’m always begging for more.
Holy fricken Slay Bells are you Jinglin.... Y'all this Story was just pure fricken Red headed craziness, come, Holly Jolly cookies ( and brownies ) misplaced Christmas lights.... OWE BTW ... IYKYK hehehe.... oh did I mention the Bingo Dot Twister ( which sounds totally fun ) and more and more comeage.... Y'all I was giggling so much while reading this story SK² out did themselves with this 1 you get their normal AMAZING Fricken plots with the broody MMCs and the gory parts thrown in there but also so much more with the mix of these 2 brilliantly unhinged minds working together... Also fricken plot twist they had my poor heart breaking also but y'all need to read to find out what in this crazy silly story would have my heart broken and also begging for more
This spicy holiday treat is a fast-paced, unhinged, and darkly erotic horror filled with dark delights and unexpected surprises.
Nine convicted felons have escaped from prison with a promise to leave no one behind, and a plan to regroup at a cabin in the woods if they get separated.
However, this plan failed to account for a feisty wild card named Nikkie, who would throw everything into chaos by opening the cabin door.
Final thoughts- The More the Merrier had me immediately immersed and entertained from the very beginning, the witty banter had me in uncontrollable laughter.
The book started really interesting. An only girl in a cabin in the woods making Christmas cookies and stumble at her door by 9 guys. Who evaded from prison. Yes, you can think about what is going to happen. 🤭
The story has spice, but a mystery storyline about the characters. It was really intense for a novel and I did enjoy it.
The things made me drop 2⭐️ were: the weird nicknames they gave to each other and somehow the spice was really intense for me and it didn’t make sense. But I loved that this novel isn’t just pure smut, it is based on a plot.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read it as an ARC! And Merry Christmas! 🤭🎅
One woman, nine men in a secluded cabin in the woods. What could possibly go wrong? 🤣 We follow Nickie who is staying at her grandmother's cabin around Christmas time, during a snow storm. When nine unexpected guests show up on her doorstep and are looking to seek shelter, this is when the fun begins!
Things aren't as they appear to be and I love the little twists and turns! Some parts of this were down right diabolical and I will never ever look at Christmas lights the same again! 😈 I did thoroughly enjoy this raunchy good time and would recommend if you're looking for little plot and lots of spice!
The More the Merrier tickled me. I love the witty banter and creative names to the characters. If you are reader who enjoys page after page of raunchy smutty behavior this is for you.
For me the story became the most interesting in the last 20% of the book where the story came together at the end. After reading it I personally would have enjoyed more plot but completely understand the authors intent of the story.
I really love the cover of the book and it will have a home on my shelf
The more the Merrier is definitely merry for Nickie!
This book was short and spicy, but also hilarious 😂 SK Pryntz and Sybil Knight have done a phenomenal job with this one. The banter and snide comments had me snorting throughout and had my husband giving me the side eye 👀
Nickie is living in a cabin in the woods when she is visited by a group of men. She let's them in and has a fun time with them all. That first night with the cookies was my favorite 😂😂😂 she really loves her edibles! And the reindeer games??! Sounds like a game worth playing!
This book took a few twists and turns and honestly, I can't wait for more from this group!
"My ears were ringing, my boys were singing, and balls were swinging in this winter wonderland." Its a good thing I have already decorated the house for Christmas because I'm not sure I could look at Christmas lights and deer skulls the same after reading this. Nickie definitely has her orifices full when it "comes" to her boys. Looking for your not so typical holiday read, check your triggers and ring your bell with this festive read!!
Utterly unhinged and I loved it. A festive, multiple pov, spicy af novella. At no point did i see where this was going (that might just be me though I can never guess plot twists 🤣) 9 escaped convicts, 1 girl who isn’t what she seems and a cabin in the woods. Honestly I need more of this. I was equal parts horrified and amused. I’ll never look at christmas lights the same again. If you like your reads christmassy, psychotic and filled with smut this is the book for you.
holy cow batman! This is dark, twisted, unhinged, and SPICY! So the 9 men broke out of jail and found a cabin in the woods! but also a psycho unhinged woman broke out of the nut ward around the same time. 🤯 guess where she ending up? yup you guessed it but it is so much more! I need Nutcracker in my hands tomorrow morning 😁
So many twists and turns in this holiday novella. Nickie is at her Granny's cabin baking cookies when eight guys show up. She lets them in even though she knows nothing about them. They seem off but so does she. Things get spicy real fast but Rudy starts to feel like something is truly off. He's determined to figure out what's going on with her and this cabin.
Wow, I went into this completely blind, and what a ride. It was dark, twisted, and completely unhinged. I kept trying to piece everything together, and it was done so well that I couldn’t put it down. I need more. I need to know what happened with Nickie, Rudy, and Que. I loved this erotic horror novella.
