Wow this is very dark on HEA? Not so much…. but this opens into a series so be prepped. The story is interesting and yes very messed up- but still a good hook! Things get a little confusing at the rave but it comes to a pinnacle and now need to continue to see what happens with the characters. DARK
Heartless is a rave, racing, and squid game-esque centred short read. It’s the beginning of Luna K. Wicked the newest series, consider this a warm-up to the most exciting thrill of your life. No one writes blood, gore, and taboo like Luna!
Heartless is centred around two characters, Tokyo, our FMC, and Kai, our MMC, They are half siblings. Nothing could prepare you for the obsession they hold for each other. It's intoxicating. They are everything. This story is full of secrets... secrets that will leave you on the edge of your seat. It will keep you raving till the end.
The depth to Tokyo gives me chills, and i can’t wait to find out more about her and her big brother Kai. I’m sure there is much to uncover here, but what we do find out is SHOCKING! They are hot, obsessed, and ready to play the ‘game’. The world building here is something that will leave you gasping. It conjured up the most vivid picture in my head and had me walking through it with the characters.
I can’t wait for more! Heartless drops 14/02/2025!! 😘
First off, no one does trauma and taboo like Luna. I sit with my jaw dropped through most of her books. Heartless is like EDC x Squid Games x Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift… centred around sibling obsession. Fast paced and dark, while also being gorgeously neon. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend 🖤
“If you like raves mixed with a dash of Squid Game and a sprinkle of brother-f*cking on the side, this one’s for you.”
This book! Just hit the spot. There is so much to unpack. It's a dark taboo that ends on a doozy of a cliffhanger. Let’s talk about this wild ride.
First off I love Tokyo. She is apologetic her. She gives two fucks. Expect one person in her life, Kai. Kai is just delicious. Both have a tragic backstory and the relationship is taboo. Why you ask? Well, you have read the book. To find out.
All is not what it seems and honestly, twists that I didn’t see coming. I had to lift my jaw off from the floor.
The author painted a vivid picture and captivated me from page one. I can't wait to see what happens next and how she is going to spin that shocker of a twist. On my dark scale, it’s medium grey.
“Where I’m fire, all rage and destruction, he’s calm, beautiful, with a ferocity that strikes only when it’s needed.” Heartless is a crazy rave that I wouldn’t survive! Frozen Obsession ended with the mention of heartless and we get Tokyo and Kai’s POV while there and let me tell you it was wild, gory, bloody, spicy, and crazy! That ending…. I’m nervyyy for what’s to come for Tokyo, Kai, Xena, and Roman!
Tokyo is that diva! I ate this story up and loved the turn the story took towards the end!
Kai gave me all the feels! His obsession with Tokyo made me giggle. The second he opened that door and he saw her he could not careless for anything or anyone else!
This is a short novella but triggers are still there!
This was so good! I felt for Tokyo and everything she went through. But Kai, my god, I loved him. Even though their relationship was taboo, I couldn’t help but root for them! That rave? I never saw it coming, and the way I screamed at the end! I’m so ready for more wicked raves!
Heartless. A deadly rave disguised as a Valentine’s Day extravaganza! 🩸💕
NO PHONES. NO RULES. NO MERCY.
Mind has been blown once again. This novella has so much plot, suspense, and taboo energy that just makes it impossible to put down.
Luna is the queen of horror and this is everything I was expecting and more! Kai has become an MMC crush with his bad boy, drag racer vibes and Tokyo has me feeling all kinds of ways. I felt the weight of her stresses, her need to escape, and her battle between what she wanted in life.
The rave itself was WILD! How her mind comes up with this stuff I’ll never know!
That ending had me literally screaming and I did NOT see it all coming.😫😂
I’m officially invested in this series and cannot wait for more.
Heartless by Luna Wicked is a dark romance novel. Wow what an ending. Let me first start with that. While it was it left you wondering it was definitely a wow ending! The plot was a well written dark romance. I really thought the characters were written in a way that really drew them out on the page. It made you as if you knew them and cared about them.
The main characters are Tokyo and Kai. The dynamics between these two keep you on your toes. All the push and pull. The story is loaded with chemistry and for some a touch of the forbidden. I enjoyed all of the twists and turns of their story.
The story was really good and I look forward to more.
Wow! This book was a rollercoaster ride. I never knew exactly where the story was going to go. All the secrets and lies. All the new shadowy characters. Call me intrigued and ready for more. I was not expecting the story to end like it did. I am still in shock and disbelief. I really hope there is more to this story. It cannot just end like that between Tokyo and Kai. Their relationship was spicey. I need more like right now. I was excited to see Xena and Roman again. I cannot wait till we get more from them. I just adore them.
Uhm, what happened OMG. This is a quick, smutty, angsty novella with plot twists you won’t see coming at all. Whew. Tokyo is a bombshell, a girl who loves from the dark corners of her heart and will stop at nothing to protect those she loves. And oh boy, if that isn’t her best quality, but her d*mnation too. But as a baddie, I trust she will be even better in the upcoming book. Kai, he’s so schmexy and while he’s the b a d boy who loves to race, I think he’s a softie lowkey ngl. But I love when a MMC is a softie for her only so it’s a win imo. I just want for him to finally feel whole. Gosh, this is too good. And the visuals/descriptions/etc are so cool, very unique too.
What a fun short, fast paced read! Heartless is a dark taboo erotic horror. Please check your trigger warnings! This was so good! I was instantly hooked from the Prologue! Shit gets crazy real fast. I loved the street racing and rave aspect of the book. As someone who used to go to street races with her husband and now attends raves with said husband, it's always fun to see those parts of our lives that we also enjoy, in a book. This was fun, sexy, dark, and suspenseful with a hint of gore. I ate this shit right up.
Heartless is just a trip that I needed to get me out of a slump. Kai and Tokyo are definitely something else... each page will have you wanting to keep going. ALSO. GHOSTFACE MASK SIGN ME TF UP.
Ooooh this was NIIIICCEEEEE!! Nothing gets me going better than a dark, taboo, 🩸 bath!! You’ve got Mr tall dark and handsome with tattoos and piercings and Miss spunky, hair colored, badäss in a taboo situationship that is followed very quickly by squid game meets The Most Dangerous Game… so good. The spice hit on many levels and the story flowed nicely. Such a great quick read!!
This book had me hooked from the start to the end. I love how it opens up to a series whch i cant wait to read the rest of them . I couldnt get enough of this book
Okay this was a nice surprise!! And the plot twist at the end? Ma’am okay I see you!! Definitely worth a read if you’re looking for a dark, taboo, twisted & fun read!
Amazing, thrilling, a twist within a twist. I’m in love. I need Fright Night in my hands now. Obsessed is an understatement. 💜 Taboo 🩷Rave ❤️Secrets 💚Street Racing
A Valentine’s Day Rave turned deadly. This book was packed full of music, speed, lies and secrets. A rollercoaster of events and emotions that kept you begging for more. A drama filled tab00 that Luna nails every single time.
Tokyo is fierce, determined, and willing to fight for the one she loves. You can’t help but love her and her strength that she has.
Kai is that fiercer overprotective brother and kinda lover. He is guarded when Tokyo comes back because he left him and hurt him once before. He wants to keep her at arms length, but no one else can have her either.
The passion these two have for one another is electric. They shouldn’t want each other, but they both do. I couldn’t put this book down and wanted even more. And that ending…ahhhhh…what?! I am so excited to read the rest of this series.

Name: Heartless Author: Luna K Wicked Raiting: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice:🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶️
Ok I’m new to the author and wasn’t quite sure what I was getting into when I signed up. But this is what I gathered and my review thus far. Ok so from what I gathered Heartless is a rave, racing, and squid game-esque centred short read. And with that said, It is the beginning of Luna K. Wicked’s newest series, so consider this a warm-up folks to the most exciting thrill of your life. This book literally gave me so many feels and had me hooked from the first page.
So, Heartless is mainly centered around two characters, Tokyo, our FMC, and Kai, our MMC, They are half siblings. And let me tell you absolutely nothing could prepare me for the obsession they hold for each other. It's literally almost intoxicating. They are litterally everything. This story is jammed full of secrets... secrets that will definitely leave you on the edge of your seat. It will keep you raving till the end. I didn’t want this book to end and I was sad when it did.
The depth to Tokyo’s character literally gave me the chills, and i can’t wait to find out more about her and her big brother Kai. I’m sure with the secrets between them there is a lot we have to uncover about the half siblings. They are hot, obsessed, and ready to play the ‘game’. I have to say the world and character building is something that will leave you gasping. It conjured up the most vivid picture in my head and had me walking through it with the characters. And that is something I thoroughly enjoy in books when I can read something and picture the characters so openly and the world they are in. Oh my god I am quite literally addicted and I need more. Can’t wait to read more of this amazing book series and get to know the author better. Please add this to your TBR you won’t be disappointed.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I've never read a book with a Valentine's Day theme, this would be my first one, and there's nothing better than starting with something dark and forbidden.
So let's talk a little bit about it, it was definitely an interesting and an easy read. If I’m being honest at the beginning it was a little hard for me to see how everything was connected, but it wasn't so much because of the characters but rather because there were certain things, that made me wonder…Why? As the reading progressed, the tension between the characters advanced with it, to a point that I can only say WOW. I won't lie to you, I love a good tension and even more when we know it's something forbidden or improper.
As for the ending, when it comes to a Luna wicked book, she knows how to make it so that I always end up wanting more. I need to know Why the ending, and many other things that I won't tell you about because I don't like spoilers, though. Take note that for a short book I feel like the spicy and the plot had a perfect balance and the ending leaves you with your mouth open.
📍Do I recommend it?
Hell Yes!
If you're looking for a book for Valentine's Day, but maybe you don't want a soft romance but something darker or maybe you want a short book with unusual themes or even a little bit of what you might call Forbidden…This is the book for you! 🤭🤔
So don't wait any longer and order “Heartless” now!
And when you already have it come back and tell me.
Heartless is an intense, dark, and provocative read that pulls no punches. This novella, the first in the Wicked Raves series, combines high-speed thrills, underground raves, and an unsettling yet addictive romance that defies convention.
The story revolves around Kai and Tokyo, half-siblings caught in an obsessive and morally complex relationship. Set against the backdrop of the mysterious and dangerous Heartless Rave, the book weaves together themes of desire, control, and rebellion. The atmosphere is electric—neon lights, pulse-pounding beats, and an undercurrent of danger keep the reader hooked from start to finish.
Wicked’s writing is raw and unfiltered, capturing the chaotic energy of street racing and the reckless allure of forbidden love. The pacing is breakneck, making it nearly impossible to put the book down. Kai’s unwavering fixation on Tokyo adds a layer of psychological intensity that challenges readers to question where the line between love and obsession truly lies.
However, Heartless is not for the faint of heart. The book contains heavy themes, including taboo relationships, violence, and morally gray characters. Readers who enjoy boundary-pushing, dark romance will find it gripping, but those sensitive to such themes should proceed with caution.
Thank you to Luna for sharing this with me before release. I am extremely grateful and will definitely be continuing this series.
Well this book is a whirlwind. So many twists and turns your head will be spinning and you won't know which way is up but oh my goodness, this book is so good. It starts off dark from the get go. Both the FMC and MMC have tragic backstories and you really feel for the characters. It is rather taboo but the story has you hooked. The FMC is chaotic, loves danger and is everything you'd expect from someone who hasn't processed their trauma. The MMC is very loyal, protective and such a sweet soul but at the same time also riddled with past trauma and chases a high to numb the pain. What I like about the way the author writes, is the fact a lot of her characters are at the stage of they have been through a lot and aren't quite ready to deal with their past. As someone who has been in that stage, it really helps me see just how much I have grown as a person and the sorts of behaviours I used to exhibit that I could have ended up much worse off than I actually did. This book as like with her other books, highlight the dangers people who don't process their trauma put themselves in and I love how raw it is and how no two people are the same. It makes them that much more real. And the plot twists are shocking, you do not see them coming so they hit you like a freight train. And that cliffhanger at the end, really leaves you needing to know what happens next. Another amazing story from the author. Look forward to seeing what comes next.
“ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ᴛʀʏ ᴛᴏ ꜰᴏʀɢᴇᴛ, ᴛᴏᴋʏᴏ. ʙᴜᴛ ɪ’ʟʟ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ꜱᴜʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴄᴀɴ.” - Review: Another banger by Luna K. Wicked. Had me in the mist of trying to figure out everything when it came to Tokyo but I love her so much, she’s so precious to me. And of course we have our baby golden retriever Kai, never doubt that Luna will write a MMC that you’d like to be real for real. Right as I hit the 50% mark everything went haywire. The plot twist at the end had me shook like WHAT- Luna, me and you need to talk after this because how dare you do that to me. Do I highly recommend? YES! But of course do read the TW/CWs since this is dark read, happy reading! - Tropes: * Forbidden Love * Obsessive Protector & Deadly Competition * Deadly Rave * Taboo Half-Sibling Romance * A Possessive Hero * Dangerous Secrets * Survival Of The Fittest * A Blood & Lust intertwined * Love VS Morality * All Consuming Desire - Out now on KU!
Welp, Luna did it again. This book was another display of how talented Luna is as a writer. This one was less dark than the other books I’ve read of hers, and far more twisty. It’s still taboo. It’s still hella spicy. It’s more erotic thriller than anything but there’s some horror and some romance, it’s got it all. Within the first couple pages I was completely hooked and binge read this book in one sitting. I don’t know how she packed so much plot and so much spice in under 200 pages, but she did. And I GASPED and was kicking my feet at the end like whatttttttt HOW YOU GONNA DO US LIKE THAT!! I need more and I need it now.
While this book is definitely the first in a series, I am really glad I read Frozen Obsession first. I love a sneaky character crossover.
Way too many annotations for a novella, but here are a few favorites that won’t get me banned because I highlighted way too many spicy ones haha:
Maybe I was more afraid of love than I was of him.
My mind, my heart, and my d!ck can't seem to agree on who wants to torment me the most.
And f***, if she wants to play, I’ll make all her dirty little fantasies come true. Call me Mr. Genie. I’m here to grant every twisted wish.
She doesn’t get to come back and act like nothing happened, like she didn’t ruin me for everyone else.
Heartless by Luna K. Wicked is an electrifying, bloodstained descent into obsession, and survival. From the moment I opened the book , I knew this book wasn’t just going to take me on a ride it was going to consume me.
Tokyo is a force of nature, fierce and determined, fighting not just for her life but for something deeper. She’ s the kind of character who grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. And then there’ s Kai, every girl’s dream, and if he’s not then he should be. His love for Tokyo is more than devotion; it’s a battle in itself, one he’s willing to bleed for. Their dynamic crackles with tension, a mix of desperate passion and the undeniable pull of something darker.
Luna K. Wicked masterfully weaves together a world where music pulses like erratic heartbeats, where lust and violence blur, and where every page is steeped in shockers. The writing is sharp, almost hypnotic, pulling you deeper into the neon-lit nightmare of the Heartless Rave. This isn’t just a story it’s an experience, a fever dream of sin, sacrifice, and survival.
If you love books that feel like a wild, intoxicating beat drop, Heartless is for you. Buckle up, because this one will leave you breathless. 🔥🔪🎶

“We’re their entertainment, their sport. My jaw tightens as I think about the kind of people who could orchestrate something this sick. To them, we’re nothing but insects—cockroaches to crush under their boots in Cin City. They feast on our misery, our pain, and then they take even more.”
This book was AMAZING!!! Luna has done it again!! I have yet to read a book she’s written that I don’t love! This is short but filled with all the darkness and trauma, and just as taboo as her other books and definitely worth reading! There is street racing, clubs, mysterious men hiding in the shadows and over all just a WILD ride. It follows Tokyo and Kai. They are half siblings (or are they?). Tokyo has been away for the last five years when she does come back she brings a questionable past with her.! Kia is a racer and still lives in their father’s home. He is also very OBSESSED with his little sister. He was done for the moment he open his door and found Tokyo standing there finally back after 5 years of silence! And the Ending!!! That ending!! I can’t even put it in words!! Go read this book you’ll love it!!
