On Tuesdays we escape. If we trip…we’re trapped.I was born to play by the rules.
Smile for the cameras. Lead Omega.
Pretend I don’t feel the eyes on me.

But he’s always watching.
Not just him—them.
The Society. The system. The ones who say they own me.

I thought I could play the game and stay safe.
Perfect. Polished. Untouchable.

Then came Terror Tuesday.

Now I’m locked in a maze designed to test me, break me…trap me.
And I can’t tell who the real danger is.
The masked man who stalks me from the shadows?
Or the ones waiting for me to fail?

My name is Olivia Cardell.
And if I don’t escape—
They’ll make sure I never leave.

There’s just something about a nerdy MMC that does it for me. Valen may have started as a two pump chump but he definitely made up for it. Poor hot nerdy virgin problems.

I will never get enough of the cult campus series, and seeing the OG color series parents is just the icing on the cake.

Valen is the hot nerdy hacker, nobody even knows what he looks like except his closest confidants. He’s had eyes for Olivia Cardell for years, and he’s determined to help her come out of her chrysalis to become the monarch he knows she can be. Even if it means betraying her. He must make sure he can trust her before allowing her all the way in. If she makes the wrong choice can he actually let her go?

Olivia is determined to be perfect, the president of her sorority, destined to be obedient and serving. She now has a stalker who watches her every move, thankfully, because someone is out to kill her. When Valen and Olivia’s assignments could cost them each other they have to work together to dismantle the society, but someone else is waiting in the shadows watching them and it could cost them their lives. Valen is determined to make sure Olivia is worshipping the correct god, him.

If you love a book with secret society, full of corruption, a murder mystery, breeding kink, and absolutely obsessed MMCs, then you will devour this series.

Thank you so much to Kitty King for allowing me to read this pre-release in exchange for my honest review.

Love a Masked Man!!!

You need to read Massacre Monday first. Check your triggers!!!
I love me a good stalker dark romance book.
Terror Tuesday is Escape rooms on Theta grounds and if you don’t escape you stay in the basement and endure what ever comes your way. Then there is still the masked man that seems to be helpful and not at the same time. This book has you guessing who is under the mask(s), and characters learning to break free of the chains they let keep them back.
Loved Vanq and Olivia’s characters and how they try to solve murders and try to take down the system.
Can’t wait for Wicked Wednesday!!!

The best one yet. I thought MM was mind blowing, oh that was just setting the stage! TT was everything I didnt know I needed with this world. I keep talking about the plot and how cool it is and believe me, the story is growing and the plotting is well plotting. But the chemistry in this one???? I was DROOLING. Olivia has men simping hardcore for her but I was simping for them hahaha. I'm a girlie who loves a deep connection and the connection here? I was SWOONING. I felt like I was there falling in love too. We got these early 2000s romcom style heart to hearts (that I have missed dearly) where they dont just instantly falling in love but where they have these almost montage like moments of just sappy, sweet, and vulnerable connections and conversations and so much yearning. And then theres the whole super popular president sorority sister and the nerdy "loser" guys trope which gets me everytime. Oh and an mmc who writes purple prose style poetry?! AND banter so funny it will make you cackle laughing so hard? Ive got to stop this review because I cant stop gushing about all the delicious details. But I will leave you with this, yeah I highlighted how ooey gooey sweet this was BUTTTTTTT THIS ISNT A LIGHT ROMCOM CUTESY READ. ITS FORKED UP OKAY? FORKED UP STUFF HAPPENS... But like its still cute too hahahaha.

*Thank you to Kitty King for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

KITTY FCKING KING IS HERE MY PEOPLE. I mean that was something so disgustingly good I don’t think I’ll ever stop thinking about it. We have murder. Mystery. A touch staved hacker turned stalker. Secrets. Twists. Cults and secret society. A heroine that not only survives, but STRIVES. A thick plot. And the tension and banter brooooo 🤤

This felt like 10 books in one but in the best of ways, it flowed seamlessly, kept you engaged and questioning what next. My dudes, I cannot RECOMMEND THIS SERIES ENOUGH. It’s not even finished yet and I know this is going to be absolutely epic.

Olivia growth in this was insane. We’ve all been there, the “if I’m perfect and follow the rules I’ll be liked and get everything I want”. Except, you don’t. And Olivia was on the fast track to disappointment. She just needed a shove back in the right direction, and a shove is what she got. Will she emerge like the Queen she’s born to be? And Valen, our little simp. I loved him and his nerdy heart so much. I didn’t think Kitty could top Ryan, instead she just added another book boyfriend to my heart.

Please please blind read this book if you have no triggers. If you do, have a sqiuz through them in the back of the book!

If you loved the Legacy of Gods series, but you wanted it darker with more of an underlying plot you need to pick up the Cult campus Series. I’m waiting like a dog in heat for the next instalment.

this book was an amazing follow up to Masaacre Monday and the cult campus series! It’s literally in the name, and I love books with secret societies and cults. This book gives The Ritual vibes, so much spicy goodness, with an arguably more intense plot. I honestly loved this so much, and so much of it surprised me in the best ways possible. The plot was thrilling, intense and had so much amazing smut. And not just smut, the chemistry between the MCs were on point. I love how Valen is this super rich billionaire heir but he’s really just a geek at heart, while the real baddie is Olivia. There’s really nothing I love more than an obsessed man who spends years planning how to get his girl. And the whole butterfly reference was a little strange at first but like strangely beautiful? Yes he did call coating her in his c*m a chrysalis, but like apart from that. The way he kind of documented her whole evolution/ characters development throughout the book based on what he called her. Also the plot twists in this book hit so hard, Kitty King is full of surprises, even in the epilogue she had some crazy tricks up her sleeve. This book was such an experience, so much smut but such a good plot. It was really well balanced. I give this a 5/5

After reading MM, this instantly became one of my most anticipated releases—and it exceeded every expectation I had! I didn’t think Kitty could make me love V more than Ryan, but she did. The chemistry between V and Olivia was electric, and Olivia’s transformation was raw, emotional, and beautifully done.

Kitty absolutely delivered with this series. I usually spot twists coming, but this one blindsided me in the best way. I never saw that reveal coming. It was dark, gripping, and literally everything! Please check those trigger warnings, but this is an absolute must-read. Bring on the next one!

Kicking and Screaming!!

Aaahhhhhh, I fkn love Valen!! I'm in love with him! I've already reserved our wedding venue 😅 Terror Tuesday was everything I hoped it would be and then it was more!! Olivia is a soul-flaming bad@ss who goes from compliant to a beautiful, dangerous butterfly with the help of the person you'd least expect. Valen is the perfect geek who is also a total hottie mchot-hot and dangerously stealthy. Excuse me while I go get the measurements done for my wedding dress and await the next book in this series 🖤

Welcome back to Northview University…Olivia & Valen's story is here!!! This book is fast paced and starts with a jaw dropping bang…er…slice?

Oh buckle up because book 2 in this series gets so much darker and more twisted and unhinged than book 1! The writing and the story just gets better and better. This is such a well developed story line.

Olivia is a true survivor and badass and we really see her reclaim her power. Oh Valen, he is completely obsessed and protective and unhinged but also so supportive and ALL IN FOR HER. Even when it’s not obvious and you don’t see it coming.

Not only was this top tier dark romance, but the murder mystery and twists were so good. I can’t tell you anything else about the plot - going in blind is a must! Also, I’ll never look at an escape room the same again.

“The most dangerous rebels are those forged from perfect obedience.”

I am LOVING the Easter Eggs from Kitty’s previous books (and that one disturbing short story brown bench…IYKYK.)

✨You do not have to have read Kitty’s previous books - this is a true standalone. BUT I highly recommend reading her previous books (Red Night in particular will give you more background on the Cardell family…and how the apples didn’t fall far from the tree 😉)

Ryan, who?? nah, jk I love Ryan, but my man Valen was absolute perfection 👌🏽

Valen was the perfect stalker. I have so much love for him. This book was outstanding. Valen and Olivia were made for each other.

Olivia was amazing. She fought for herself. She took her power back, and it was fantastic.

There is so much suspense and mystery in this book, but what a freaking amazing ride!!! I can't wait for Aiden's book.

This series is getting better and better!!!

This book? THIS BOOK!

I loved it, I loved it so much. From the first page to the last I ate it up. I mean CHAPTER 2?! WHAT?!

V and Olivia was so good together, the chemistry they had was off the chart! V, this lovely dork, omg he was so cute! The way he loved her?! and Olivia, this girl and all she'd gone through, it was so good to see her finally fly and be free.

The plot and the twists, the love and the spice. This had everything I love in a book and I cant WAIT to see what's going to happen in Wicked Wednesday!!

Terror Tuesday had me in a chokehold. This book was just so powerful and good. I enjoyed the characters a lot and had a fun time reading. The way the story progressed was just amazing. I devoured the love and fight V had for O. Just everything about them was incredible and beautiful. What I really wanted to see was more snark from O. I love the idea of a girl pushing her man’s buttons. But I am also so happy with what I got. V and O made such a perfect team and even in their worst moments. Their love was so strong for each other and it never failed them. I really enjoyed the ending to their story and can’t wait for Wicked Wednesday!

Terror Tuesday is a must read!

I thought Massacre Monday was my favorite book of the year, but this one is definitely trying to bump it out of first place!

The secrets, the drama and intrigue, the ROMANCE...this entire book had me on edge and falling in love at the same time.

If you like dark romance at all, I'm begging you to check out this new Cult Campus series by Kitty King. I'm crazy obsessed and I bet you will be too.

What is it about nerdy hacker types? They always sound so hot in books lmao and It’s not very often that you have a MMC virgin! It’s usually always the FMC! Wasn’t much of a fan of the love triangle lie but whatever floats your boat. Was a good read! Loved the escape rooms, such a cool addition.

If Massacre Monday was a warning, Terror Tuesday is the full plunge into madness. Kitty King takes the Cult Campus world and pushes it into horror territory — part psychological thriller, part dark romance, and fully unhinged.

From the very beginning we realize this book is darker than the previous one — and for that reason, even more fascinating. Then we meet the main characters, each with their own flaws and secrets. Although I usually don’t enjoy heroines who, after meeting the hero and sharing intimate moments with him, still sleep with other people, I decided to trust the author and keep reading, especially since Olivia has a traumatic past that shapes how she copes. Some people shut down after abuse — others chase any proof that they’re still wanted. So after meeting Vanq and sharing moments with him, she goes on thinking about Elliot.

“I’m breathless. Does he know what his voice does to me? How my body answers like it’s starving? Guilt settles in until it heightens my arousal in an odd way. I shouldn’t be this turned on by him. He hasn’t done anything. And I was just with Vanq the other night.”

When she talks about another man, not the main hero, it’s not pleasant for a reader like me who wants both characters to only have eyes for each other.

“This isn’t a kiss. It’s iron sharpening iron. We’re two magnets being pulled closer until every cell in my body wants to be one with him. Instead of that frightening me, I lean in more, letting him consume me. We fit. I blink bashfully, but full of heat. ‘Go on a date with me.’ His eyes flare as they flick between mine. My body wants him desperately. ‘You sure?’ he asks, voice low.”

After this scene, Vanq becomes jealous and tells her she must choose. With his help, Olivia kills the man who abused her when she was sixteen. After the murder, the two of them sleep together — and Olivia learns he was a virgin, waiting only for her.

Back at school, though, Olivia grows close again to Elliot:

“Curling his hand around the nape of my neck, he threads his fingers into my hair as he pulls me into him… ‘I-I want to take you out again. Will you let me?’
I need Elliot’s calm, but I crave Vanq’s storm. While my body aches for Vanq my soul yearns for Elliot. So at this fragile moment, I let myself accept what I truly desire. ‘Yes.’”

Elliot then asks her:

“Is there anyone else I should be worried about? Someone else who thinks you’re his girlfriend?”
“No.”

Olivia starts doubting her feelings, admitting she’s in love with both men. Then she’s given the mission to kill Valen, while Valen is ordered to kill Xavier, Olivia’s father. After feeling betrayed by so many twists regarding Olivia's feelings, Kitty King once again proves why she’s one of my favorite authors — because the revelation of who’s behind Valen’s mask changes everything. From that point, everything falls perfectly into rhythm: the couple is on the verge of marriage, and we see true love bloom, especially from Olivia’s side, even though Valen says “I love you” first.

My favorite scene is easy to find — when Valen decides he wants her pregnant, she tells him she has an IUD, and he takes care of the problem himself. 😈

“𝓨𝓸𝓾’𝓻𝓮 𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓼𝓵𝓮𝓮𝓹. 𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷’𝓽 𝔀𝓪𝓲𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓼𝓮𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾’𝓻𝓮 𝓪𝔀𝓪𝓴𝓮.”

This is a DARK stalker romance. The content, both on and off page, will NOT be suitable for everyone. It covers topics that are heavy and may be triggering to some. You MUST proceed with caution; your mental health matters.

This is Kitty God Damn King people, the gift that will FOREVER keep giving! I thought Ryan Cardell was the bees but then along came Vanq, be still my beating heart, and knocked him right off the Kitty King pedestal.

These second gen books are all of my favourite characters back together, doing what they do and I’m just absolutely loving it! How Kitty thinks of these plot lines and character/couple matches blows my mind. She hits the spot, every 👏🏼 damn 👏🏼 time!

This was a read so terrifyingly good, I don’t think I’ve stopped thinking about it since I finished… I probably won’t ever not think about it, it’s left its mark on my soul. We had mystery, murd€r, secrets, twists, a loveable MMC and an FMC who strived to survive. This was definitely a trip down another one of Kittys rabbit holes. I wasn’t the same person when I made it back out.

Here we had a book that was not only deliciously spicy, but it was also plot heavy. It was thick but well balanced, kept me fully engaged throughout, and had me questioning anything and everything I’d ever thought and knew about myself. A standard Kitty King book 🙌🏼

Kitty is a master world builder, I live for her amazing worlds. I thought Gnarled Pine Hollow was my place but turns out I’m a university campus kinda gal too!

I have a thing for a nerdy MMC and Vanq ticks all of my boxes. The fact he’s a virgyn makes him even more loveable. It’s not often we see a virgyn MMC so it was a refreshing change and fit the narrative so well 🤌🏼💋 not only is he geeky but he’s deliciously hot under that hoodie too!

Vanq, is our resident hacker turned stalker and has been watching Olivia Cardell for years. He can see beneath her polished exterior and knows she needs nudging in the right direction to transform into the Monarch Queen she really is.
Olivia is the beautifully obedient, perfect Princess of the Cardell family… well, until she wasn’t. Vanq wants to break down her walls so she will surrender to the darkness. Olivia is an absolute baddie in her own right, she’s doesn’t just strive to survive, she begins to thrive!

I loved the chemistry between the two, it was tense and slightly forbidden and I loved every minute. I really enjoyed their growth throughout the read, Kitty sure knows how to build her characters.

📝 Reporting back from Kitty King’s Hellmouth of a dark college series dubbed, The Cult Series. My details surround the Greek game, Terror Tuesday. I can report that you will encounter bloody murder, overlapping and twisted love triangles, some smexy tapes, a stalker MMC,  and, of course, terror!!!

Where Massacre Monday had you laughing at the MMCs antics, Terror Tuesday will make you go from 🫨 to 🥹. The next installment of the series features another set of characters from Northview University that we met in Book 1. You will gasp, you will cry, and you will fall in love… more than once. 

🦊 + 🔪 +  🚩 Valen & Olivia & Hunter?: Just as these characters grow in this story, so will you. Kitty delivers so much spice, tension, and a juicy, overarching story that will not let you go, even if you wanted to. Once you step into the cult, the only way out is death or getting you a red-flag of a book-boyfriend. There is a spicy scene that just left me 😮‍💨. You'll know it when you get to it. Them. No, it. 😏

Having a red flag of a dad can’t hurt. 🤭

☕️ I tried a small coffee shop’s blend for this read. So small, there was no website or IG profile to tag. The blend was called Havana Nights. It definitely hit the spot. The roast was strong and flavorful, just like this series has been. 

🎵 Fear Innoculum (Tool), Change (Deftones), Cirise (Ghost), Our Darkness (Anne Clark). I chose the last one for MM, too, and it might be one of my mainstays for the Cult Series.

🔎 Massacre Monday (book 1) should be read first to enjoy and keep up with the overarching story. Rawest Venom (book 2 in The Compass Series) isn’t completely necessary, but it will help you understand our MCs traits so much. And of course, Red Night Special Edition will provide you with an introduction to how tropetastic these stories are.

🗓️  What’s Next? I just need to know what happens in the next installment, Wicked Wednesday, which we get a teaser of at the end of Terror Tuesday. So, I’ll be here, Kitty… waiting. Rereading the rest of the series and waiting. :)

Wow… finishing Terror Tuesday by Kitty King left my heart in pieces, in the best possible way.

From the very first page, I felt like I was stepping into a dark maze where nothing was what it seemed. Olivia Cardell completely stole my breath, so polished and composed on the outside, yet carrying so much pain, pressure, and secrecy underneath. The way she “plays the game” to survive in a world that’s constantly watching her is heartbreaking and, at the same time, incredibly powerful.

And then there’s Valen… that mysterious, masked figure whose role keeps shifting as we uncover more of his motives. The tension between him and Olivia is intense... is he her protector? her enemy? something in between? That constant uncertainty kept me turning pages long into the night.

I absolutely loved how Kitty King blends elements of horror, suspense, dark romance, and psychological mind games. The twisted escape scenes, the shocking revelations, the creeping paranoia, it’s all written so vividly that I could feel the danger closing in.

This is definitely not a light read. There are some graphic, brutal moments, physical violence, manipulation, humiliation, but none of it feels gratuitous. It all serves to show just how deep the danger runs and how strong these characters really are.

What I adored most was how the author keeps you questioning everything: Who’s the real villain? Who’s lying? Who can Olivia truly trust? That constant doubt made the story addictive in the best way.

In short: Terror Tuesday is a gut punch of a book: painful, addictive, and impossible to forget. It’s perfect for readers who love dark romances full of tension, mystery, and a touch of psychological horror.

𝙾𝙷. 𝙼𝚈. 𝙶𝙾𝙳!! This series is 𝙨𝙤 addictive. 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 by Kitty King had me glued to the pages, half horrified and half swooning. It’s a dark, intense ride that hits all the right notes of obsession, danger, and desire (definitely check the triggers first, because this one gets dark).

Olivia is stuck living a life that looks perfect on paper: the good girl, the rule follower, the one who never steps out of line. Inside, though, she’s miserable. Enter Valen: the quiet hacker, the gamer, the guy who keeps to himself but has been quietly in love with her for years. He’s the kind of man who doesn’t just notice her… he 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙨 her. And he has a plan to pull her out of her shell and show her the power she’s been hiding.

The chemistry between them? Absolutely 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘. Their story is an 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙤: raw, twisted, and shockingly tender at times. Valen and Olivia burn together, and it’s impossible to look away.

And amidst their connection runs something even darker - the Society - that malevolent, ever-present cult pulling the strings, controlling lives and futures. The horror here is real and skin-crawling, adding a pulse of dread. Every reveal gets more disturbing, and the plot just keeps thickening in the best, most unhinged way.

If you love dark romance with a pulse of horror, emotional chaos, and characters who feel both broken and unstoppable, Terror Tuesday will absolutely wreck you - and you’ll love every minute of it.

Special thanks to the author for the gifted copy ❤️‍🔥

Well Kitty certainly started this book with a bang. Right from the start I was hooked. Honestly there really wasn’t a dull moment at all, you get introduced to the shit that is Olivia’s life and right away you start questioning … “How did she end up here?” “How did Xavier let his daughter get into this position?” “Why is she with such a dick?”. Trust me these answers do come but it takes time for it all to unravel. Then you meet Vanq and several others and start to ask even more questions. I mean I really do love books that make me question what the fuck is going on, and Terror Tuesday had it in spades through the entirety of the story.

I loved watching Olivia grow and change and become who she was always meant to be. She was never meant to be the perfect lady, listening to orders, and doing as she’s told. No. She was meant to harness her darker side, bear her teeth, and become a queen.

Vanq, my baby. Ok I loved this boy. The quite one, the one who doesn’t show anyone who he is, but the one willing to push Olivia and show her who she truly is. Yes he does things that are extremely questionable but what did you expect from the second generation from of the Compass series?

The way Kitty has created this series has blown me away! I loved watching the way that both the Color Series and the Compass Series come together in the Cult Campus Series. Everything seamlessly blends together and even though I’ve still got a shit ton of questions I know things are slowly going to come together throughout this series. I can’t wait to see what happens on Wicked Wednesday.

ARC REVIEW

My therapist will be hearing about this.

Kitty has once again reminded me that I am not emotionally stable enough for her books. Massacre Monday broke me, and Terror Tuesday looked at the pieces and said, “Oh, you’re still breathing? Cute.”

The plot and storyline? Absolutely fantastic! The full-blown stalker vibes, the suspense, the twists, the sheer horror and thrill of it all, it had me in a chokehold from start to finish. I was fully captivated. Every chapter felt like a trap I happily walked into, no questions asked.

Olivia… where do I even begin? She radiates that eldest daughter trauma energy in a way that made me feel seen. The growth, the power, the “I will burn it all down if I have to” attitude. CHEF'S KISS. If my therapist asks me who I want to be when I grow up, it’s Olivia, minus the constant danger.

And Valen. Oh, Valen. My dark, brilliant, morally-gray menace. How can one man be so entirely different from Ryan Cardell and still have me planning our imaginary wedding? The man’s brain runs on chaos and devotion. He worships Olivia like she hung the stars herself, and honestly? I believe him. I did not doubt that man once, and that’s… maybe something I should unpack later.

I’m now in recovery, journaling about my “fictional character attachment issues” and pretending to move on, but let’s be real.....Kitty owns my entire nervous system at this point.

Is it Wicked Wednesday yet? Because I’ve got trust issues, adrenaline withdrawals, and a therapy bill with this book’s name on it.

I LOVE this series. Hands down my favorite series by @kittykingauthor . Massacre Monday was amazing and Terror Tuesday is just as good though the chemistry level between Olivia (Ryan Cardell’s sister from Massacre Monday) and Valen was intense and was turned up to maximum levels in this book.

We’re back at Northview University. It’s secret Societies. Powerful Fraternities and Sororities. Money and greed and Olivia Cardell, the most influential within her Sorority…..and she’s been stalked.

Valen has wanted Olivia since he first laid eyes on her and has kept an eye on her ever since. A hacker with impeccable skills, he can hack into any system on campus and find information on anyone….including everything corrupt that’s happening behind the scenes. And there’s so much that’s corrupt at NorthView. At this University, when you’re among the privileged, you have to be serving and know your place, to achieve greatness comes at a price. Assignments are sent down from the Society, an inner group within the University, and these assignments are basically “hits”…..kill or be killed.

Valen is determined to bring The Society down but he needs to know whether he can trust Olivia and if she’s truly meant to be his….

Add some escape rooms set on the wildly popular organized cult event known as Terror Tuesday, where this year the body props look especially real, more corruption than ever, and some of the sexiest tension and banter and SPICE….plus I love a virgin MMC which this has and a breeding kink, which again 🥵🥵 and an ending that was PERFECTION and it’s another solid entry in this amazing series.

Bring on Wicked Wednesday.

“You’re beautiful when you sleep. I can’t wait to see you when you’re awake.”

OMG! Terror Tuesday was filled with suspense, secrets, brutality, violence and bloody chaos that instantly pulled me in and had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. It was one hell of an intense, emotional and insanely depraved rollercoaster ride that I never wanted to stop.

Valen, our hot nerdy hacker boy, is obsessed with Olivia (the girl with many demons in her closet). Valen is a mystery too. He hides behind his mask and only those close to him know what he looks like. Valen does everything he can to protect Olivia and help her break free from her chrysalis, but to do that he may have to hurt her more.

Olivia, the president of her sorority, has some traumatic things happen to her that have only made her become stronger for surviving it. But she still has moments where the past catches up with her, making it difficult not to run away.

The banter between all of the characters was amazing, keeping me laughing and gushing over them all throughout. But the chemistry between Valen and Olivia just poured off the pages and had me hooked and falling head over heels for these two.

The smut contained in the pages of this story was EXPLOSIVELY HOT AND UTTERLY PANTY MELTING!!! There’s no way I could keep dry with these two.

Such a fantastic, dark and twisted story that is extremely well written. It was packed with secrets, cults, corruption, wickedness, murder, insane bloody brutality, and some explosive twists and turns I had no idea were coming.

So Freaking Good!!! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next!

Cult Campus Horror Book 2
“To be chased. To be hunted. To be caught.”

You can read Masacre Monday first to get a fuller understanding of the world but it's not a must. Both books so far have an overlapping arc but not so strong that it can not be enjoyed as total stand-alone as well.

It's a Horror Dark Romance. Don't take this lightly.
It's in the Genre for a reason.

If this is your Jam you are in the right place for Horror / Stalker vibes/ Obsessions / Degrading / Blood & Gore and SO MUCH MORE.

The Cult of the 7 rules the underground in a secret-not-so-secret-way.
If you’ve read Masacre Monday you will have a certain way that you are viewing Olivia.
This is how Terror Tuesday started.
Be prepared to be shocked and get to know her in a whole new way and level up.
“Can I be safe now? Can someone take care of me?”
xxx Dont you feel your heart cracking at this?
In all this Cult”ness” And Darkness real people hide behind the rules and duties.
They bleed and mourn and love.


“Gothic romance hero meets…” She pauses, teasingly thoughtful, “psychopathic stalker?”

I absolutely loved our dark and twisted Valen. You will find yourself having to choose sides at some point BUT for some reason his little twisted heart got my vote time-and-time again.

Totally addictive read.
I can not wait for the next book! Thriller Thursday is already promising to be next-level!
