After my boyfriend has a not-so-little accident with his new female best friend, I jump at the opportunity to take a small vacation with my brother to Salem for Halloween. He's annoyed, but his two best friends? Not so much.

Halloween and Salem speak to my soul. There's something about the thrill of being scared, the adrenaline that makes your heart pound while you fight your mind to stay in control. Then, once it's all over, the rush of wanting to do it again.

I'm drawn to horror and fear. Scary movies? Check.

Deep, dark fantasies? Check.

Being chased through the Halloween Witch Hunt by two shirtless, neon skull mask wearing men covered in blood? Check.

Maybe I'm sick and twisted. But there's a reason villains are often painted as hot, seductive men.

It's because women like me exist. And we want to scream in more ways than one.

You know what? For how short it was there was a pretty good amount of plot, character development and relationship building so I'm pretty happy with this. Could it have used more of all of the above and been a bit longer? Sure, but I think there was a good balance.

There were three steamy scenes, two with all three of them and one with just Audrey. I like that we had a build up towards them, because even in novellas I want to know why I should care about the characters and their relationships with one another.

I wouldn't mind seeing more of these characters in the future, in another Halloween novella or just seeing how they're getting on now that it's passed.

Actual rating 3.3 stars.
Firstly, the foreword is hilarious. And I learned this author is an Aussie, which is cool.
She also mentions there may be inaccuracies. I wouldn’t be able to spot them, even if there were!

Anyway, I chose this novella because I wasn’t sure what kind of story I was in the mood for this spooky season.

There is a plot in the sense that certain things go on but there were hardly any descriptions and while I knew what I was gonna get in this story, I was hoping for just a little bit more.

So, Audrey makes a drunken confession then all of a sudden her brother’s two best friends have this agreement that they are both going to have her?

Like, did they talk about what they wanted, how it was going to work between them?
It’s just a little frustrating when they seem like they’ve been doing that for ages. I’d like to know if they’ve been in similar situations before…

There were some parts of the narration that I liked where it showed us how young Audrey is. For the rest of it, she either sounded much older or it was too on the nose.
Speaking of, I had to roll my eyes at some of the dialogue. So cliché! Then again, not so surprising, given the limited word count.

While I’ll likely not read this again, I appreciate it for what it tried to do. Though, I was slightly frustrated by the lack of information.

give me more.. please

Where can I find 2 guys who would be willing to take me to pound town in a cemetery? I’d happily volunteer to be in a Nate and Brax sandwich.

This was okay for a short spicy novella, but I just dont vibe with main characters that are 18-20 years old in spicy fiction. Feels wrong 🤣

Audrey is going though a break up since she caught her ex sleeping with his best friend she’s off with her brother and his best friends to Salem to enjoy Halloween. It’s a rocky start since her brother is annoying but she has some good vibes with the brothers best friends.

It’s a pretty cute start the best friends Nate and Brax are super nice they don’t mind her tagging along. Visit to sex shop to get a first toy was pretty funny. And what a name Bugs ;)
To drinking and confessing at a graveyard her dirty fantasy. Now it’s a witch hunt that has Audrey running from 2 men in mask and how they take her is delicious.
But there is some awkwardness after between all three since they don’t know how to go forward.

It ends with a HFN between the three

Дратував Джош, її колишній, спочатку зрадив головній героїні, а потім завалює її смс та дзвінками, і після того як він приїхав до неї розбиратися, коли вона остаточно його відшила, то він одразу є змінив свій статус в соцмережах, що зустрічається з іншою. А так в принципі читаємо.

I thought this one was okay. I wasn’t a huge fan of the FMC, but it was a quick read and I enjoyed the primal aspect.

Wickedly sweet ⭐️⭐️⭐️.67
Rating on a novella scale. I really liked this one a lot! For being a novella this did a wonderful job at building the plot. I really liked our fmc and the smut was a good time. I live in New York and just went to Salem so this was so relevant to me. Jealous of my girl I want two men to chase after me in a witch hunt too. Well really I want to also chase after them ahah. Fun and hot. I needed more from the men tho. I needed them more obsessed and the last smut scene was really rushed. I wish I got even a tad of background on either of them because then this would be higher but overall I had a good fun time! YAY HALLOWEEN SMUT. I want so much more of them UGH

Listen, if I found my shitty ex boyfriend balls deep in another bitch, I would also lose my virginity to two masked men who chased me down in a field on Halloween night. Oh did I mention those two men were your brothers best friends. 👩‍🍳 💋

If you are looking for a wickedly sweet, short and spicy MFM Halloween novella then this is the one for you! This is less than 100 pages of a smutty good time.

This wasn’t as dark as I was anticipating, just kinky with clear consent given. Audrey changed her tune about saving herself pretty quickly when Nate and Brax showed their interest, but let’s be fair. Two hot guys you’ve been secretly crushing on wanting to play out your fantasies? Who wouldn’t jump on board the naughty express? I’m not huge into knife play myself, but it was done well and fit with the story. Overall, a fun novella.

Spice: 3/5

Triggers: cheating (ex partner), knife and blood play, harassment by ex (lots of texts and calls even after being asked to stop), breath play

Hunters and Hunted

3.5⭐️ rounded up to 4

This was delightfully smutty for a novella, and decently written too.

Audrey has secret fantasies about being chased and caught and used in the most filthy of ways. Luckily for her, her brothers two best friends like the sound of those fantasies. They mask up and hunt her during a Halloween ‘Witch Hunt’ in Salem.

Some tropes/triggers:
MFM
Bondage
Primal/chase play
Light 🔪&🩸play
Spit-roasting
Light choking
Very light degradation
A little bit of praise

it's never too early for halloween

I was looking for a short and spicy novella and I found exactly what I wanted :)
bonus: this one mostly takes place at Halloween in SALEM. *loved* that.
it's brother's best friends (yes I do mean plural 👀) there's some knıfe play, a little bandage and some CNC. definitely recommend if you're looking for any of that ^

Fun bdsm primal Halloween. Not everything made sense. And she’s probably going to need antibiotics.
