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.
I liked that the MMC was a virgin. There were some parts that I liked, but not enough to get it more than two stars.

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.
I loved this story line so much! The cult vibes were on point. This was an amazing book. I absolutely loved this story. You just read Massacre Monday first. But I highly recommend this story if you love cult and dark romance.
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 🖤

*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.
Hey everybody welcome back to another audiobook review. I absolutely had such a fun time getting to listen to terror Tuesday. If you don’t know, this is the second book in the cult Campus series it follows after massacre Monday. The story follows Ryan’s sister Olivia, and her appointed Valen. This story is narrated duet by Blair Thatcher and Michael Gallagher. I just wanna say that Blair absolutely brought it when he came to narrating Olivia‘s character. There is a specific scene during one of the very first spicy chapters and there was a moment I had to stop kind of cover my lips and be like girl!!!!!! the way she had narrated that scene was just absolute cinema. It was perfection and I ate it up. This is actually the first book. I’ve listened to with Michael Gallagher, and he absolutely brought it as Valen as well. His narration, as this character was absolutely on point here. he was bringing that perfect brooding, dark romance, stalker vibe into the story, and it just matched the character of Valen. I’m really excited to see where the rest of the series go, especially with wicked Wednesday just coming out I’m really hoping that bluenose snatches that up as well and gets the audiobook on it rolling. I really can’t wait for that story. That’s the one I’ve been looking forward to the most.
Terror Tuesday by Kitty King is the second book in the Cult Campus Series. This is an interconnected standalone, but to get the best experience, I suggest reading Massacre Monday prior to this, as a warm-up. This story is dark, twisted, with some horror elements, and a great mystery. The characters are captivating, well-polished, and well-developed.
The FMC, Olivia booms beautifully in her own skin getting a very strong backbone. The MMC, is to cowl for, bloody and dark, stalker and mysterious, the definition of danger wrapped in sin.
The society twisted ways, game rituals and please hear me out and read your trigger warnings if you feel the need, as this can get a bit darker than most. Audiobook: performed in duet style by Blair Thatcher and Michael Gallagher, this audiobook is pure perfection. Blair has embodied Olivia in the best way, giving her the grace and all the emotional support the performance needed, to keep us on our toes. Michael as the male voice, has done an exceptional job, helping the mystery unfold, giving us an unforgettable performance.
I was a sucker for Massacre Monday, but this just elevated Kitty as an auto-buy author. Blue Nose outdid themselves producing this and I can't wait to hear more books in this series (fingers crossed ).
Thank you Blue Nose Audio and Kitty King, for this amazing opportunity to listen to this book as an ALC, my opinions are my own.
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
Terror Tuesday by Kitty King is the kind of book where the plot is so thick it could hold up a piece of silverware. It is like a rugby players thighs thick.
You get pulled into this secret society setup that controls everything … what to do, how to act, who to be with … and it’s not optional. The rules are brutal, the vibe is intense, and the whole story is layered with secrets that keep you turning pages because you have to know what’s really going on.
And that moment when Valen finally removes the mask … oh man. That reveal was SO satisfying.
Add in plenty of spice, and this one delivers on both plot and heat. I’m officially hooked and already excited to dive into book 3.
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!
College Era Stalker Virgin MMC Not so secret society BadA FMC (not whiney)
This was a good book, sometimes the fmcs in secret society type books are always so whiney and it irks me so much. I don't understand if you are raised in this type of environment how you are so whiney ... got off track 😂
This fmc was not whiney and in fact was about finding herself exactly where she needed to be to thrive in the insanity of her feelings and choices ...
Stalker computer whiz who is trying to find a way to keep the girl and keep his secret identity
This took a little different spin than usual so I thoroughly enjoyed it, great NARRATIONs.
Terrifying, passionate, and full of edge-of-your-seat suspense! Kitty King’s Terror Tuesday is a dark romance that will grip you from the very first chapter. The characters are complex, with raw, undeniable chemistry that pulls you in even deeper as the plot unfolds. With unexpected twists and a story that keeps you guessing, this book is impossible to put down. King expertly balances romance and danger, delivering a thrilling experience you won’t soon forget. If you love dark, thrilling love stories with a bite, Terror Tuesday is a must-read!
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 😉)

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!!

Tropes:
🖤Twisted love triangle ❤️Psychological games 🖤Horror escape rooms ❤️Secret identity 🖤Masked stalker ❤️Virgin MMC
Holy…….! If these 2 are narrating, sign me up! The chemistry… 🥵
FMC - speaks to my SOUL! It’s hard for us switches to find someone who compliments us, if you are one and found that person like Olivia did.. wife them up!
MMC - I fucking KNEW IT! Not giving anything away just listen to the sound attached to this… JFC 😮💨
Kitty … you wrote the damn thing!! I thoroughly enjoyed this and so glad I sign up for a lot of the books I do bc of the cover! Gimme more!
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!
DNFed. I don’t know how a romance can work given the context. This book was so weird.
Direct quote : “Very good, my Monarch. Submitting before your true master.”
I don’t know what I just read. How could the author, the editor and every person in between read this book with a straight face. Everything was so cringe and awkwardly said. They’re just a bunch of baby adults trying to act tougher than they are.
📚📚📚 Wow I am OBSESSED with this one! Valen I just absolutely loved! The way Olivia and him were so made for each other… ahh I just loved it. I totally busted this whole book out in one sitting because there was no way I was putting this one down. I will probably never look at an escape room the same or even trust one. This book definitely had me going through a rollercoaster of emotions while reading. But that spice wowww was it melt worthy! Overall I LOVED this one and highly recommend it!
📚📚📚 If you like to read: - Twisted love triangle - Psychological games - Horror escape room - Secret identity - Masked stalker - Virgin MMC - Dark college romance - Baptism scenes - Nerd + Cool girl energy - Submission as safety - Tied down + left wanting - Stealing his hoodie - Trauma turned revenge … You should definitely check this out

Thank you so much for sending me a copy for an honest review in my own words. #giftedcopy
QOTD✨what do you like more sweet or sour? Or what’s your favorite fall snack?
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.
Dnf @20%. I should’ve stopped at the beginning when the mc forced the fmc to give a blow job to her boyfriend and his friend and video record it. If you have been stalking her and supposedly wanted her for years, then why force her do sexual acts with other men, especially since she’s already been sexually assaulted and raped before. That doesn’t scream possessive, obsessive or even protective to me. He was trash for that.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Book 2 out slayed book one for me. These guys were so addictive , there was more secret society going down . V&O the Chemistry was so obsessive And just the way these two had me " one more chapter " myself to late night read was funny. Twists and wth moments are so entertaining. Kitty has me so hooked into this universe i need more.
Update 3/21/26 ohhh i got to alc the audio!!! I loved this book and to hear it made it all exciting again. I was so sad to be finished with it as I was with the book. This made 2 very long work days just the most enjoyable. Blair and Michael G. were so perfect. The obsession was sooooo amped and made me so antsy even though i knew what was gonna happen lol. 10/10 this series and the audio!!!!!
