Easy 4.5 stars, I loved it 🤭 A stabby FMC ✔️ Bad bitch ✔️ Feminine rage ✔️ I loved Poppy! Is Corbin what you consider a golden retriever MMC? If so, I AM HERE FOR IT!!!! He literally crawled to her and begged her 🔥 The spice was spicy, and I was here for the plot. I did not expect this to pull me in so quickly. I was glued to my Kindle the entire time! I needed this to be at least 200 pages longer.
There’s nothing I love more than a stabby FMC who’s out for revenge 🩸🔪 and bonus points if she calls the MMC a good boy😏
This little novella was exactly what I was looking for, fast paced, spicy and an interesting storyline. It hardly felt like it was only 100 pages. The dynamic between Corbin and Poppy had me giggling IT WAS SO GOOD.
This is a prequel novella to what seems like a really good fucking story and I can’t wait to learn more about the characters that were introduced at the end, like I NEEEEEED more. I am SO intrigued 👀
If you’re like me, and you don’t want a traditional cutie Valentine’s Day book and you’d rather have one filled with murder and feminine rage , this is it right here!!♥️
Solid prequel novella, I am stoked to read the first in this series if it’s anything like Bloody Seven. Poppy is everything!!! I do love a female serial killer, especially one who is on a revenge mission. Corbin is the perfect “good boy” to her crazy, and I’m excited that we will get to see more of them as side characters in the next book.
is this what people are calling a badass fmc nowadays? lol nah.
guess the nickname she gave him? WRONG. it’s “bagel boy” BAHAHAHAHAHA. yea... i almost passed away from secondhand embarrassment.
“kiss me, bagel boy”
HAHAHAHAHA 😐 ABSOLUTELY NOT 🤚
this was insta lust/love on steroids, there was no tension or chemistry whatsoever, the smut was unseasoned, and i didn’t like the mcs. the only thing i kind of liked was the prologue.
i think i’ve read at least 4 fmcs named poppy this month alone. there are so many names out there… google is literally free. stop following every single trend on social media.
A prequel Valentine novella ❤️🔥 Suffice to say with a title like this one it’s not going to be love hearts and roses, though there maybe a few 🌹 here and there 😬
Our FMC, Poppy is a S3rial deleter how she came to that point in her life is why she has taken it upon herself to delete her targets on Valentine’s Day every year for seven years (leave you to guess the reason there 😉) One of her alleged targets turns out to be nicer than her initial assumption, however as we know the course of true love never goes smoothly, there’s more…..
Loved the story, Poppy is such a bada$$ you’ve just got to love her fortitude and dynamic. The writing was concise and held your attention within the storyline, the spice was not over done and her dominance came through here too 🖤🌶️
Great Novella, a prequel to Their assignment coming soon. Poppy is a strong FMC who uses a tragic event to seek revenge on men over seven years. BUT then Corbin messes up her plans. Loved their dynamic and the fact he likes being called a 'good boy' is brilliant. Definitely recommend.
Wtf was that ending… I suck at reading the content warnings bc did not expect it to end on a cliffy 🥲🤣 but I absolutely loveeee the feminine rage in this book! Poppy’s fiancé was brutally murdered in front of her and her mission is to kill any man that commits any of the 7 deadly sins on Valentine’s Day. That’s until she meets our bagel boy Corbin! One hot fuck has her forgetting her mission until she finds out that her fiancé and Corbin have a dark past together. They were in a secret society whose mission is to marry wealthy women in order to gain their fortunes. Our killer queen poppy was not wealthy and Drew left the society out love for poppy. That backfired and he was killed for it. Now that poppy has 1 deadly sin left, she is determined for it to be the rulers of the secret society. Trent is a slimy mf.
i don’t think there’s anything km baker could write now that i wouldn’t devour within a day or two.
this short valentine’s day novella had me at the edge of my seat wondering what our fmc (poppy] was going to do next. REVENGE•
our fmc’s partner was brutally stabbed on valentine’s day so ever since - 7 days, 7 deadly sins, 7 targets. we love a mmc who is obsessed and such a good boy willing to beg. i loved corbin & poppy, they’re perfect. i can’t wait to read the next part of this!
If you are looking for a dark valentines romance novella, this is the one for you! This is a super quick read with a mildly unhinged FMC with a taste for vengeance.
I can’t wait to continue the series and get to read Faylon, Ghost and Raiden’s story!
A prequel heavy on revenge, and the ending sets us up beautifully to enter right into it with the next book! Poppy and Corbin fall into insta-love, but it isn't an insta-relationship. I'm really interested to see how it plays out with the next set of characters.
It was fast paced with an interesting story line and had my attention the entire way through. Overall was an awesome read and I had a great time reading it
Poppy has a badass attitude, she's set on revenge, she's a killer with a 'somewhat' moral compass, and she isn't afraid to demand what she wants. Her background is tragic, her pain raw, and she is determined to let her rage fuel her ambitions as the 7 sins killer, until her plans come crashing down from unexpected desires. This is fast paced, spicy, a perfect tale of revenge and secrets, with a stabby FMC out for revenge, and her good boy. The ending sets the scene nicely for more to come in the series, and more intriguing characters that will be fun to see in action.
💀 "Careful, I'm not like most girls. I will throat punch you before you even see it coming. You would be on the ground begging for me to go easy on you"
"Oh, so you're flirting with me now?"
💀 "Fuck, this girl could tell me to crawl around and bark like a dog, and I think I would"
💀 "I think you underestimate my perseverance. When someone tells me I can't do something, my only response is to say, watch me"
💀 "Good boys do as they're told and then beg for more"
What an awesome prequel novella! The first page had me instantly hooked and so intrigued, by page 15 my jaw was already on the floor. I really loved the revenge, Poppy & Corbin’s characters, secret society, and the instant attraction. Poppy’s character is top tier, due to her dominant nature and courage, we love a woman in control. Hehe 😉 🔪❤️🔥
Overall, this was a really really good setup for what’s next.
The way I need the other books already! I know KMs books are always going to be a hit. The storyline is so intriguing and I love an FMC that takes no shit from anyone!
I can say I do love to hate Valentine’s Day! This is a prequel to something thats going to be action packed and I’m here for it. If you thought roses were the staple to Valentine’s Day think again on this twisted beginning that’s going to have you panting and waiting for more in equal measure!!
I can't believe that this was only a novella for a series we are going to get. I went in basically blind other than knowing basic points of the book, and it was so much more than I could have ever imagined. The author really did put all the characters we met through hell, to be honest, like give them a break.
Especially our FMC Poppy, seeing her fiancée being brutally murdered in front of her, definitely screws up a person, but instead of letting it get her down she turns into a serial killer, you gotta love it. I really felt for Poppy, though, which is why when we got introduced to Corbin, I was rooting for them as soon as we met him.
All of this book was unexpected, and finding out the truth behind everything and the deaths of many other people the main characters have been in contact with was quite shocking. Although this book was short, I would definitely say so much happened, which to me completely changed how long and detailed I saw the book as being.
The writing was beautiful in this novella and I can only wait impatiently for this series, the way it ends is shocking and meeting 3 new characters was very exciting especially after seeing the series will follow them, although I do hope we get to see alot of Poppy and Corbin and maybe a book of their own.
I'm new to this author, but when I saw the title for this one, I knew I needed it. Being a novella I don't want to give too much away - but trust me when I say, this is packed with thrills, I had no clue what I was going into but I was hooked from the prologue - which is dark and heartbreaking.
Poppy, our FMC, is a successful serial unaliver. She's out for vengeance, but her careful plans are thwarted when she decides to pop into the city's popular bagel deli and meets Corbin.
ohhh Corbin, I haven't read an MMC like him for almost a year, and I was all in. I mean, who doesn't love a man that can take direction 😏 and submit to a strong fmc?
This prequel Novella has definately set the scene for what's to come, and I will not be skipping "Their Assignment" which is set to follow this book. This novella is fast-paced with a strong fiesty FMC out for revenge. Secret Society, and insta-lust.
Please familiarise yourself with the content before you start. YOUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS
If you're looking for a cutesy Valentine's story then this is not for you but if you're looking for a story about a woman fulfilling a promise to her fiance to avenge his death and becomes a serial killer where her trademark is the deadly sins and a rose then this is the book for you. But there is so much more to than just that this is only the start.
The only bad part about this book is that this is a novella and only a hundred pages of it where I'd gladly would have loved hundreds of pages of it and it still wouldn't have been enough.
If you want a short spicy novella about a female serial killer who has insta love and finds about some big secret society then go and read this you will not be able to put this down. It's the perfect Valentine's Day read if you're looking to escape the mushiness of it all.
*I received this book as an arc in exchange for a review but all thoughts and opinions are my own*
Bloody Seven (The Renegade Stories) by K.M. Baker is a dark romance that captivated me from the beginning, and which I hungrily consumed in one sitting.
Poppy's past hasn't been kind to her and when she meets her person, she doesn't take too well when that is snatched from her. On what should be a night of celebration, a disturbing event unfolds that brings the future she had mapped out, crashing down. In revenge, Poppy hatches a plan for vengeance.
Now known as "The Cupid Killer" Poppy uncovers secrets whilst on her yearly recce (to uncover her next sinner), which could change the trajectory of her plans.
In the epilogue more characters are unveiled, setting the scene for the next book "Their Assignment".
If you like fast paced and amazing prequals, stabby FMC's, especially over affairs of the heart, and your plot suspenseful and spicy, 🥵🔥 you're going to love this dark novella 🖤☠️🔪🩸🥀
Even though this is a Novella, it is JAMMED with such perfection and spice. Woahhhh the chemistry and tension between Poppy and Corbin is just hot and heavy. Poppy is a badass FMC out for revenge. Corbin is a cinnamon roll for Poppy but also a hardass to everyone else and I’M HERE FOR IT!
"That's more like it. I love hearing you beg. Do it again. Beg me like a good boy."
"Good boys don't call the cops, bagel boy. Good boys do as they're told and then beg for more."
"You're a fucking goddess, cupid. Please suck my cock. Give me that mouth, baby.”
Just when you think you have an idea of how it’s going to end or go, it throws a twist in there and surprises you, leaving you mouth wide open turning the page to see what the hell just happened!
Poppy goes on a little Valentine vengeance using the 7 deadly sins to choose her victims after her fiancé Drew was killed on Valentine’s Day 6 years ago.
When she goes looking for her lust victim she comes across Corbin. After some unexpected bedroom fun with him she finds out that he was actually friends with Drew. She also finds out that things with Drew weren’t quite what they seemed.
I loved that she came back looking for Corbin and the fact that instead of continuing with the original mission she now has a new one. I can’t wait to learn more about Poppy and Corbin. I’m also looking forward to Faylon, Ghost and Raiden’s story.
I absolutely LOVED this juicy Valentine's novella filled with feminine rage! K.M. Baker's writing had me turning the pages so fast to find out what happened next and to confirm my theories of the plot points.
Poppy possesses so much strength and sass. She is a real person who is motivated by vengeance and love. Pure and simple. She had moments of showing complete human emotions and struggles while trying to carry out her plan. And in those moments is where I connected with Poppy.
If you are in the mood for a story of vengeance and feminine rage, "Bloody Sunday" is the Valentine's holiday read for you. Congratulations on your release, K.M. Baker!
The Cupid Killer is on the loose and she is seeking revenge on Valentine’s Day!! 7 deadly sins, 7 deaths, 7 years.
This is a prequel and a fast paced novella that follows our stong FMC Poppy and her “good boy” MMC Corbin. I absolutely devoured this 101 page novella in one sitting! The plot was plotting, the spice and connection between Poppy and Corbin was amazing! But that cliffhanger almost made me throw my kindle away! How could you do that to me! I LOVED IT! But now I’m super excited for Raiden, Faylon and Ghost’s book🤘🏽
You are here for a good time not a long time babe!
What to expect while reading this awesome book?
🤘🏽 STRONG FMC 🤬 FEMALE-RAGE 🩸 FEMALE SERIAL☠️ 🥵 GOOD BOY MMC 🫣 PRAISE QUEEN 😈 SECRET SOCIETY 💔 REVENGE 😘 INSTA-LOVE
This novella my oh my! Kiley is definitely an auto author buy for me 🤭 This book had me hooked from the prologue, the way it’s fast paced and every time you turn the page you just get take by surprise. Poppy loses her fiancé on Valentine’s Day, (I won’t tell you how) which sets her up to become a seven deadly sins s3rial killer. She then meets Corbin and he’s the perfect “good boy” to match her, I can’t wait for the next book, because this novella was just not enough for me 😭
Oh my gosh this book was AMAZING!!! We love some good feminine rage! After losing someone she loves tragically, Poppy is out for vengeance on the city. 7 men, 7 years and 7 deadly sins! When she is back in the city on year 6 on another Valentines Day she sets her sites on Corbin and she quickly finds out what a good boy he can be ;) I can't wait to see where this story goes and to get more of Poppy and Corbin in The Assignment. Also really interested in Fay, Ghost and Raiden :)
Nice, easy and quick read, which was exactly what I wanted when I picked it up. I kind of wish it was longer and that we could have gotten more of the story. I am curious to see where the next book goes with it and how the main characters in that one are.
"Apparently, I have a type, and it's women who are prone to stabbing."
-FMC Serial Deleter -Revenge -Feminine rage -Secret society -Insta-love -Good boy
Poppy is a bad@ss b!tch and I am living for it!!! Her and Corbin's relationship is that of dreams and who doesn't want a hunky, scarred, tattoo'd good boy 😏 now all I need is the assignment to continue from that cliff hanger!!!!!
I'm giving it seven bloody stars! KM you've absolutely smashed this one again!!!
This Valentines Day novella is fast paced, sexy and fun. The strong FMC Poppy is a baddie out for vengeance and she unexpectedly finds a Bagel Boy with complicated past. Will she let vengeance or her heart win?
I loved these two off rip and can't wait to see what is next for this series. Im already running to pre-order.
