Eat Your Heart Out
I didn’t eat people. Just men.
First of all, I’d like to set the record straight. I wasn’t a cannibal, ʼkay?
I didn’t eat people. Just men. I ate their hearts out before they ever saw me coming. Figuratively, of course. Most of the time.
Sometimes a girl had to do what a girl had to do. And sometimes what I had to do was fry those suckers up with a little bit of buttermilk and enough shortening to give ya coronary.
I wouldn’t ever apologize for it.
Which was something else you should know about me. I was unapologetic. Then again, so was he. Else the hotshot with a blade bigger than his d*ck wouldn’t have barged his way into my little apartment without so much as a “my bad, sorry for disturbing you, ma’am.”
And I wouldn’t have been forced to tie him to a chair and teach him some manners. But here we are, ain’t we?
Just a sweet little Southern girl and the big bad pickle-diddler who thought he was about to get his rocks off.
Guess it wasn’t his lucky day. Sure was mine, though.
Eat Your Heart Out is a dark standalone novella with a HEA. Please heed the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book.

“Don’t go mansplaining murder to me, Mr. Dawson. One of us is a professional.”
I was lucky enough to be a part of the early reader team for this fun dark romance novella in exchange for an honest review. Since this was so short, in some ways it felt a tad rushed and I wanted more. However, I loved Jack and Charlee’s chemistry. This is the perfect, fast-paced story for if you want something to spice up your Kindle on Valentine’s Day. It was funny, feminist, and ridiculous (in a good way). Charlee is a serial-killing cannibal (who only targets creepy men) and Jack is an unsuspecting burglar who chose the wrong apartment to rob, leading to a meet cute involving kidnapping, man-meat sandwiches, instalust, and a Southern belle who is just “slightly” unhinged.
Tropes: grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, masked mmc, vigilante fmc, only one bed
And as always, CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNING PAGE BEFORE DIVING IN 🩷

"Look, this is gonna be dark, smutty, and completely ridiculous. So don't think about it too much and just enjoy the ride. Now Imagine if Dexter were a female cannibal..."Truly, I mean I was already laughing just from the dedication:
"To the FBI guy assigned to monitor my search history, who likely became concerned for my mental health when he saw me Google the word "Cannibal" one too many times. My bad."So it only went up from there. When she says to mind your trigger warnings, do that...cause this book is unhinged and had a trigger list a mile long and I loved every minute of it. I dont wanna give anything away cause its a quick novella, I just really loved the ending of this book. Its so wholesome for a book like this 😂

A delicious rom-com with a female version of Dexter, Charlee. Who lands herself a boy toy, Jack, in a round about way. What could go wrong?!
The labeled packages of meat with names on them had me cackling along with all the southern slang! Quick read that’ll have you rooting for these two!

I was lucky enough to be on the early reader team for this dark romance novella, and wow… what a wild ride!
Since it’s a novella, it’s definitely quick, and part of me wished it had been longer because I wanted more time with these characters. That said, Jack and Charlee’s chemistry was so fun and chaotic in the best way.
If you’re looking for something short, fast-paced, and a little unhinged to shake up your Kindle, this is it. It’s funny, bold, feminist, and completely ridiculous (complimentary).
Charlee is a serial-killing cannibal, but don’t worry, she only goes after creepy men, and Jack is the very unlucky burglar who breaks into the wrong apartment. What follows? Kidnapping, man-meat sandwiches, instant attraction, and a Southern belle who is just slightly off her rocker.
Thank you, Sybil, for letting me read this ARC, this one was definitely memorable!

I was promised a wild ride and that’s exactly what happens when you pair a cannibal fmc and a theiving mmc. I finished this book and thought…what did I just read? This was funny, witty, deranged and I ate it up. Charlee is truly one of a kind and Jack doesn’t even know what to think of her. Their meet cute was more of a meeting of her cast iron pan and his head. From the moment he wakes up zip tied to a chair, it is a wild ride.

Never in my life did I think that I would be rooting for a cannibal, but, alas, only a Sybil Knight read can prove me to be very wrong. I loved this so much. Thank you so much for providing me with an ARC of Eat Your Heart Out! 5 stars! 🫀
Charlee and Jack had phenomenal chemistry! How well they worked was oddly sweet! It was well written, well paced, and had clever, witty banter as the cherry on top of it all. As a southern gal myself, all the commonly used southern euphemisms had me giggling! If you're looking for a short, dark rom-com read, then consider Eat Your Heart Out as your next read!

ARC REVIEW!
Such a fantastic short read! Kept me excited from page one to the very end. Her trigger warnings were spot on and so hilarious. They added more excitement and fun to the whole storyline. The fun uses of nicknames and euphemisms made me laugh so hard. I got some funny looks from my husband and kids while I was enthralled in the read. The use of zip-ties , were so clever! Sybil Knight is hands down one of my favorite authors and this dark romcom did not disappoint at all!

It’s all in the flavouring 😋🤣
Charlee, is just minding her own business when she’s alerted to someone entering her house. Sometime later said person, is tied to a chair in her kitchen with a nasty headache…seems a frying pan will do that to someone 🤭 Jack, realises possibly a little too late that he should have err’d on the side of caution with this little lady, as there is more to her than his observations first assessed!

NGL I loved this, I have scoffed and sniggered so much through it, yes, it maybe a little macabre, yes, there is c@nnabilism but the whole story just works bringing together two misfits who are like chalk and cheese but the spicy times 🥵 It’s a quick read, if ya don’t need sleep, the southern drawl works its way into your system, Sybil’s writing brought this little story to life for me 🫶🏻

I rated this book 3.5 Stars
The title alone had me laughing every time I opened the book. Eat Your Heart Out — and the FMC is literally a cannibal. I knew it was going to be over‑the‑top and unhinged, and it absolutely was, in all the best ways.
Charlee is completely feral in a way that’s somehow both terrifying and hilarious. She’s a Southern girl doing her own brand of street justice and, yes, saving on her grocery bill while she’s at it. When Jack breaks into her house, he immediately realizes he picked the wrong woman to rob. Their dynamic is pure chaos — part fear, part attraction, part “why is this working for them?”
The humor is what really carries this novella. Charlee’s inner monologue is outrageous, especially the way she compares Jack’s body to cuts of meat. Jack’s reactions had me cracking up too — he’s trying to survive, trying to charm his way out of the situation, and also having the most ridiculous internal debates at the worst possible moments. It’s campy, fast, and gleefully grotesque.
There’s even a little emotional grounding tucked in, just enough to make Charlee make sense in her own twisted way. And somehow, despite the chaos, the romance ends up being weirdly sweet in its own unhinged way.
If you like your dark romance bloody, absurd, and funny, this novella is right up your alley. It’s quick, chaotic, and exactly the kind of unfiltered Onyx Chaos energy I expected.

Sybil Knight always keeps me on my toes. Cannibalism, I was like hmmmmm, maybe a little light touch of it. Naaaah, Sybil doesn’t do anything half way. She will have you questioning if you will ever eat stew again.
You will be questioning.. how can something be so dark and gruesome also have a you laughing out loud and have some cozier vibes? I don’t know, but Sybil did it with this book. It’s a dark and delicious (pun intended) novella that you will devour. (Haha)
Charlee is so unhinged and I loved her. Poor Jack had no idea what he was getting himself into. The banter between these two, absolutely chaos and perfection. And when you find and extra digit in your food, make sure to count all of yours are still there.

Butcher and Blackbird meets Lights Out. Equally hilarious and disgusting. There are so many wild things that happen, that I didn’t even think about how quickly the main characters get together. Novellas normally aren’t my cup of tea because the relationships usually seem rushed but I really enjoyed this.
Review of advance copy received from Author
I absolutely loved this novella and I’m genuinely bummed it’s over. I never thought a phrase like “meat stew” would make me laugh and question every serving of mystery food, but here we are.
This story is hilarious, wildly unhinged, and strangely charming in the darkest way. The writing is sharp, the humor lands perfectly, and the pacing never lets up.
Charlee and Jack were such a fun pairing. The FMC is strong, confident, and unapologetically herself, while the MMC quickly learns that some houses, and some people, are best left undisturbed. Their chemistry is intense, playful, and impossible to ignore.
Dark, clever, chaotic, and laugh-out-loud funny.
Highly recommend.

What did I just read? And why did I like it??
Review of advance copy received from Autor
I found this read to be too short. I wanted to know more about the dynamic between the protagonists. Jack let himself be swept up by Charlee’s charming madness, and their interactions are really funny.
The ending gives us a glimpse into the reasons behind Charlee’s personality.
A mix of craziness and comedy, with a touch of darkness and the protagonist’s erratic behavior, make this short story the perfect book for a good time.

She's a cannibalistic serial killer vigilante, he's just trying to pay off his debt to the mob (buy robbing people). Unfortunately for him, he breaks into the wrong house tonight... or is it? This book brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Smash & Grab' ;);)
I loved the whole dynamic between Charlee (FMC) and Jack (MMC). Their banter was top tier funny, sarcastic and a little unhinged. The way they kind of just get each other and don't fight too hard against their connection is great, I mean she ties him to a chair and then uses his phone to call his mum and tell on him for breaking into her home. He thinks she's crazy, and she is but in the best way and I think it's obvious from his 'reactions' that he's into it a lot more than he lets on.
The spice was extra spicy and was great seeing the female lead be in control for a change. I have to say that Charlee is very inventive and has a wonderful imagination.
There is a little mystery to this book and I love how it unravels as the night goes on and how you go from thinking one thing to being quite surprised by the outcome.
I loved this book and I am truly honoured to have been given an advance reader copy to review. Sybil Knight is clearly unhinged and that makes her my new best friend, look forward to reading more of her work. Who knows, maybe we will hear more from Charlee and Jack?

Eat your heart out 🫀
I was DYING to read this as soon as I saw the early reviews rolling in all over bookstagram! I sent the link to the other half & said valentines is coming & because I’m blessed it was the first thing I opened on the day 👏🏼😌
Described as Dexter but make him female & a cannibal…this was perfect for me 🤌🏼😘
Jacks first mistake was thinking he could break into Charlee’s home unscathed, his second, under estimating her!
Charlee has a specific taste, she enjoys meat (in all purposes😉) and she doesn’t take getting broken into lightly!
Well that is until she has a ‘taste’ of Jacks meat 🤭
Oh I loved this! It was so much fun, I loved Charlee! She was just a bundle of joy 😂 The humour in this was also top tier 👌🏻
I’d love more on Charlee in the future! I literally read this within an hour! It’s my first from Knight but won’t be my last 😌🤎

“The thing is…” I hummed. “An open door doesn’t mean someone’s inviting you in any more than an open mouth means I’m willing to blow you. To completion at least.”
♡If Sybil writes it I'm going to read it & she outdid herself once again! This is a super short read that packs a giant punch. This story follows Charlie our FMC who is the definition of a "man eater" & Jack our MMC who faints at anything that makes him queasy. True opposites attract energy going on here with a sprinkle of grumpy/sunshine!
If you love quick dark rom-coms that have you laughing to the point of tears as well as a storyline that will keep you engaged all the way to the end look no further!♡

Eeeekkkk y'all this story was amazing, unhinged, twisted, absolutely hilarious, spicy and the cutest thing ever. Charlee is just fricken adorable and yes I read her parts in my best Dolly Parton accent just to make it more authentic hehehe. I love how she mixed together the 2 strongest women in her life and and strive to become them values and all... Then there's poor Jack haha silly fool makes you really rethink about the person you plan to rob now doesn't it but hey I love how he just went with the flow of everything even though he knew everything was all wrong.
Absolutely recommend this story its a quick read, super cute especially with Valentines Day this month, y'all seriously check it out
Don't forget to check your triggers

Honestly, I’d read a shopping list if Sybil Knight wrote it… so this was an automatic yes. Full fangirl energy, no shame.
It started off a bit slow for me, but then boom — something shifted and suddenly I’m sitting up straight, side-eyeing my surroundings like please tell me no one is reading over my shoulder right now 😅
The mansplaining was weirdly perfect, like it had no business being that entertaining. And the FMC? Completely unhinged. The kind of chaos that makes you laugh, shake your head, and then immediately root for her anyway.
It’s short, quick, and ridiculously good. One of those reads you finish and just sit there like, well… that was fun.
Highly recommend if you want something fast, funny, and a little unhinged — Sybil Knight really doesn’t miss.

Sybil does it again! I swear you have a way with words and I will devour anything you write!
I didn't eat people. Just men. First of all, l'd like to set the record straight. I wasn't a cannibal, 'kay?
This story was unhinged, hilarious, adorable, spicy and we all wrapped up into one book. The book starts off with a slower pace then it builds up for me. It's a pretty short read and I think perfect for February!
Charlee is a sweet Southern belle who is a a but unhinged. I mean what else would you expect from a sorta cannibal?
Jack sorta winds up in the wrong house. I mean what else else would you expect if you go tied up by other than Charlee?
This is a mere 88 pages and you will love them all!!!
4/5 🌶️

This book had me cracking up. Sybil really knows how to write these batshit crazy FMCS 🤣 It was short and to the point which I love because sometimes you just want a funny spicy read without having it be 500 pages you know?
What happens when you're down on your luck and decide to rob someone? Well... you run into Charlee of course. Or, actually you get cracked in the head with her frying pan.
But you know... semantics. Charlee loves her hair high & her shorts short, but she also loves a good meat stew.
Carnivore you ask? No. Cannibal. She has meats a plenty: Tyler, Kevin, Bruce….. So what does that mean for dear ol’ Jack Dawson? (His mom couldn’t name him Leo) Well.. I guess you’ll have to read to find out 🤭

Have you ever imagined Dexter in female form? Well, you don't have to anymore because Sybil Knight wrote the delectable rom-com female version in *Eat Your Heart Out* with her FMC, Charlee.Then Charlee gets her perfect boy toy, Jack, when he tries breaking into her house and instead finds himself tied to her kitchen chair. This is a demented, spicy novella that is one wild ride. I am from the South, and I absolutely ate up all the Southern euphemisms. Charlee and Jack have the best chemistry. This read was cute, funny, and also very disgusting. I highly recommend this if you loved "Butcher and Blackbird" and you're looking for a fast, fun, dark, super hot read.

A very spicy relationship between captive and captor in the most fun way. I hope one day I find a man to look past my flaws the way Jack looks past Charlees eating

Prepare to laugh hysterically 🤭
For me, the combination of dark humor with cannibalism will always be entertaining.
This book is ideal for in between read as it is less than 100 pages. If you want to escape into something brief, gory, and comical, pick up this book.
I caution you, Charlee is a rare breed, so check your triggers.
Charlee is always welcome at my table, but she is not allowed to partake in ANY food prep.
Hard pass …

Well, ain't that some man meat?!
Charlee is a kick@ss FMC who tickled me pink with her sassy mouth and her don't give a fk attitude. Jack, was hilarious bc why? Why wouldn't you fall for this jewel of a woman who can handle anyone who crosses her path... especially when they make such a delicious stew! It was quick, fun, and the southern accent was delightfully on point (I would know). Looking for an unhinged FMC and an easy MMC? Look no further. Sybil's got ya covered, sugar. 😉

This one was an entertaining dark rom-com filled with witty banter and also kinda fucked up... 😂 Sybil did a great job though and I had a good laugh from these characters and their dark humor...
Charlee bashes a man over the head with a pan when he attempts to break in, little does she know, Jack would stick around, even after her entertaining hospitality.
Their chemistry is one of a kind and internal monolog is hilarious 😂
Great short read!

Sybil Knight never does anything halfway and this time, she serves cannibalism without a hint of restraint. What starts as a dark curiosity spirals into something so grotesque you may never look at stew the same way again. Yet somehow, amid the blood and bite, she makes you laugh actually laugh wrapping the horror in an oddly cozy, wickedly sharp charm. This novella is dark and devourable. Charlee is gloriously unhinged, a chaotic force of nature, while poor Jack stumbles in completely unprepared for the madness that follows. Their banter is wild perfection, equal parts tension and absurdity.
