Some Like it Violent

by Jenika Snow

I was a diagnosed psychopath with an unrelenting hunger for violence. And my outlet for that darkness was taking lives.

When a prison transfer put me in a position to escape, I seized the opportunity, which sparked an unyielding manhunt.

I wouldn’t be caged again, so I stalked and hunted until I found refuge in a small, secluded house on the outskirts of an isolated town.

I took that home as mine—and its owner. Evelina.

My plan was hide out, stay unseen, and slip into the unknown, where I’d never be found again.

The days stretched into weeks, and something dangerous shifted inside me. My need to just survive turned into an obsession with Evelina. That twisted desire deepened and consumed me in ways I never expected.

What was meant to be a brief captivity until I moved on spiraled into a dark and disturbing connection. It blurred the line between captor and captive.

Yet beneath Evelina’s fear lay a secret of her own—one that might prove she was far from the helpless damsel she portrayed.

It was a game of obsession and desire, and I was starting to think maybe she was just as deranged as I was.

Well, this is dark, and both MCs have a propensity for unaliving. It was like reading Joe and Love from the You TV series. So, please check the trigger/content warnings. 🫣

4.5⭐️

This was so good. I had been craving a quick read with lots of smut and no push away, and this delivered exactly what I needed.😌

I especially love when the h is unhinged too, and it completely throws the H off guard.🤭 That dynamic made this even more enjoyable and honestly hilarious. They basically kidnapped each other and perfectly matched each other’s freak.😼

Safety info:
- No OWD or OMD.
- No detailed info about their pasts, only that it’s been a very long time for the H.
- No scenes with others after they meet.
- No cheating.
- Ends on an HFN, but I wished we had gotten a longer epilogue showing them in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

You must read the trigger warnings before!

The second part of dual book was almost the same shocking, but at least now I was expected for that 😂

It’s a book for your kinky weird bdsm mind…

P.s. At the end I was skimming the text to just end this open door s3x scene. At this moment for me was too much 😂

4 smut-scale stars!

Two people with their own personal brand of crazy find each other and build a life. In true Jenika fashion, this was FILTHY. Enjoyed it for what it was.

Two unhinged people kidnap each other and fall in love. Loved it.

[Belize Esperanza Roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

what was that? I thought unhinged was well unhinged but this was pure chaos but in a god way obviously

[Rylee Hamilton · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved that she matched his freak so well😫

[alishasbooknook · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was completely hooked as soon as I started this, I loved the story line and the smut was so good! It wasn’t overbearing and was just the right amount.

The idea of Kane being a fugitive and taking over Evelina’s house and holding her hostage in her own home was such an interesting story. And the fact she lowkey liked it. She’s just as fucked up as he is and they’re perfect for each other.

They both love a bit of blood play, and the things that they have to do to get the blood 👀 it’s dirty and descriptive and I loved it!! Kane is cocky and confident, knows what he wants and takes it. Evelina is also confident and very smart, she knows how to act innocent and she manipulates well, apart from Kane, nothing tricks him 😂

Overall, this was so good, another really short read but it was still so so good. I definitely recommend if you like dark romances/erotica but look up content/trigger warnings first.

What if Michael Myers went to Annie Wilkes house instead of Laurie's?

Jenika Snow has me worried about my ticklish spots, like I definitely shouldn't be giggling about these things.

[Jan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Evelina & Kane are one heck of a pair. You obviously expect Kane to be a cold-hearted killer since he is the one that escaped prison. But man, Eve she is something. I could just image the gleam in her eye. She was cunning. Honestly, I thought she was a lot smoother with her kills. Definitely not for the faint of heart. Loved it.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[thebeespot72 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Jenika Snow’s novella is 93 pages long and reasonably packed, not just with shminks. I was pleasantly surprised with the plot of the novella. It’s darker than the ones that have been released before this one, and based on the tropes and blurb, it suggested the short story might be going in one direction when, in fact, it went in another. I liked that.

Unhinged ,captor/captive dark romance

3🌟 3🌶 I enjoyed reading this novella, read in one sitting. Captor/captive romance. Forced proximity. Wish there had been an epilogue set in the future.

[Tara Nelson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hot and twisted

Two crazy halves finding each other to make an even crazier whole. This doesn't really have a lot of back story, more in the here and now. As long as you don't mind triggers then this book is for you. Definitely hits the spice meter!!!

[Misty Schott · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kane needed a place to hide!

Kane escaped from prison and needed a place to hide. He finds Evelina's home on the outskirts of a small town and he takes her hostage. Evelina may be Kane's hostage but she's a far cry from a damsel in distress.

Eve and Kane are a pair matched in hell in the most perfect crazy way. While I expected Kane to be unhinged and dark I was pleasantly shocked to learn Eve is very much his match

4/5 stars

short and filthy

I had just finished reading a book that put me in a minor slump. This was short and dirty and was just enough to bring me out.

Very quick read, interesting story premise that could have been sooo much more - but this author doesn't always deliver that.

They're both freaks but that was so fun

I was pulled into Kane’s world from the first paragraph! The story between Kane and Evelina spoke to my twisted side. I definitely could use more of them!!

[Teigan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Didn't connect to it really. She was hating him then they're fucking and it's the end.

3.5
This needs to be a full story and not a short one. Dark and twisted. So much promise but far too short
