Thanks to Kate M. Levi for this eARC! Here is my honest review.

Caught in the Hunter’s Shadow

‘Hunting His Doe’ drags the reader into a shadowed game where desire is sharpened by control and danger is never far away. From the opening chapters, the hunter and prey dynamic dominates the story, creating an atmosphere that feels claustrophobic, seductive, and deliberately unsettling. The tension is not just physical, but psychological, built on power, fear, and a pull that refuses to loosen its grip.

Beneath the dark romance surface lies a constant struggle between surrender and resistance. The characters operate in morally grey territory, where obsession often outweighs reason and vulnerability becomes both a weapon and a weakness. The fast pace and short chapters intensify this feeling, though at times the emotional depth could have been pushed further to fully explore the consequences of their choices. Some plot turns are predictable, but the oppressive mood keeps the story compelling.

This is a story that does not aim to comfort. It thrives on imbalance, control, and tension, and it embraces its darkness without apology. Readers drawn to intense dark romance, where boundaries blur and danger fuels desire, will find ‘Hunting His Doe’ a gripping and provocative read that lingers long after the final page.

[Emmy Wong · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book is fun, spicy and every thing a dark romance girl could ever want all wrapped up in one short novella. Being just short of 130 page, this book is packed with all the best dark romance tropes, such a st@lking, primal play and a touch her and die mmc. The plot follows Pip and Graysons very funny but also dark story. Because this book is extremely fast paced and the man is obsessed from first glance, but he tries to stay away… until he realises she wants to be stalked. Their dynamic is so fun, there’s a great push and pull (although it’s obvious she was gonna give in), and there’s an aura of mystery because although we know the talkers true identity, Pip doesn’t and I was on my toes waiting for the moment when he reveals himself to her. Obviously there was lots of amazing primal play, some sort of teasing smut and also sensory deprivation which was sooo good! If you want something hot and heavy for a little pick me up this is your book! I give this a 5/5

I was lucky enough to read this as part of Cat & Mouse: A Dark, Stalker Anthology, and the standout novella for me was Hunting His Doe by Kate M. Levi—so I’m so excited it’s getting a solo release!

It has everything I love in a dark romance: intensity, obsession, and just the right amount of tension.

Kate M. Levi delivers a story that hits every beat—a tattooed, golden-retriever-hearted man who would burn the world down for the woman who’s his. Protective, devoted, and deliciously unhinged in the best way.

[Vivien Richards · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good primal play novella. Pip is the MFC and she has smexual fantasies that she'd like to see fulfilled. Mainly being someone prey. So she posts on a website looking for her hunter. Grayson becomes obsessed with her being his prey and st@lks her. I love a good st@lker romance and this one is heated. I loved the two characters' smexual tension and their dangerous desire for each other. This was definitely a good story.

My Rating: ★★★★★
ARC Read: Yes (Books and Bitches Down Under ARC Team)

Hunting His Doe by Kate M. Levi is a dark, addictive stalker romance that leans hard into obsession, power, and the intoxicating pull between predator and prey. Set against the shadowy backdrop of an underground chat site designed for those who crave danger, this story blurs the line between protection and possession in a way that feels deliberate, unsettling, and utterly compelling.

Phillipa “Pip” Clark is drawn into the world of DystopiaNet; a space that caters to curiosity, fantasy, and risk; where she unknowingly captures the attention of Grayson Everett. From the start, Grayson embodies contradiction: protector and threat, saviour and hunter. What begins as an instant connection quickly twists into something darker as his fascination with Pip grows into a need to claim her, both online and in real life.

One of the strongest aspects of Hunting His Doe is its atmosphere. The Halloween setting heightens the tension beautifully, amplifying the sense of danger as masks, shadows, and secrets collide. Kate M. Levi does an excellent job of creating a cat-and-mouse dynamic where the roles are constantly shifting, keeping the reader off-balance in the best way. The comparison to H.D. Carlton’s Cat & Mouse duet is absolutely warranted; the same pulse-pounding obsession, the same delicious unease, and the same addictive push and pull between fear and desire.

The dominant/submissive dynamic is woven tightly into the story, not just as spice, but as part of Pip’s journey of self-discovery and surrender. Grayson’s touch her and die energy is unmistakable, paired with an intensity that borders on feral. Their connection feels fast and consuming, driven by instinct rather than logic, which suits the stalker romance genre perfectly.

Emotionally, this book grips you more than you expect. Beneath the obsession and kink-heavy tension lies a story about control, trust, and confronting desire without flinching. It’s dark, provocative, and unapologetic in its exploration of morally questionable attraction.

If I had one critique, it’s simply this: the wait for book two is going to be painful. The story leaves you hungry for more, and knowing this is only the beginning makes the anticipation almost cruel.

I would absolutely recommend Hunting His Doe to readers who love dark stalker romances, primal dynamics, BDSM elements, and stories that aren’t afraid to sit in the uncomfortable space between danger and desire. If you enjoyed the Cat & Mouse duet and crave obsessive MMCs, high spice, and a relentless sense of tension, this one deserves a spot on your TBR; but just be prepared to want the sequel immediately.

Pip is not the only one who becomes Grayson's prey in this book. I started this book and it didn't take long before I was well under his spell myself.
Watching Pip as she starts off as this girl who decides to take what she wants and makes that post searching for someone to fulfill her fantasies and desires. Getting a fast response to her.. "ad" and making the connection as someone decides to make his claim to his prey. Let the games begin as she becomes the hunted and her st@lker begins to infiltrate every aspect of her life.
The true question is does she know this man like she thinks and hopes or is this someone completely different? All while Grayson is still turning up and being the ever helpful protector who is lurking in the shadows and turning up when she always seems to need him most. The attraction grows ever higher between them but so does the desire she has for her st@lker that's been sneaking around.
I loved how smooth this story flowed and how it kept you wanting from the beginning to the end. I finished this book in 1 day! I couldn't put it down and just had to have more. I loved the playful banter and also the slyness of Grayson. I love how Pip's friend Viv seemed to encourage her to just live her best life and just to do her best. That there was no judgement when she found out what she'd been up to, I mean of course not since she was doing the same thing, but instead she was like get it girl. The characters in this book were amazing and I loved them!! I loved the spicy scenes. They were top level and amazing. Never thought having Grayson in my life would be life goals but here we are.
I 100% say if you like dark romance, if you think the TW are more like a menu then this book is for you. As always they are there for your well being and please please always read them before you start any book.
I think this author did a phenomenal job on this book and I can't wait to see what else is to come. I want more about her friend and her man from that site.
So if you are looking for your next dark read try this book.
Are you ready to play? Let the hunt begin!

Pip describes herself as “an awkward turtle and not a massive party person.” From the moment I read this, I identified with her character as this is exactly how I would describe myself. However, what happened in the story, while entertaining, is not me at all. I did love to read about her experiences though. What an incredible journey of exploration!
Grayson is minding his own business, playing pool at a bar with a friend when he hears her singing voice. He describes her voice as velvety smooth, like single malt whiskey and he wonders how she will taste. He is instantly drawn to her and vows to make her his. Before the night is over, he rescues her from a potential threat and she becomes entranced. Unknown to her, he begins stalking her. Simultaneously, she enters herself into a game of masked cat and mouse (with a side of primal) in an online group.
The story unfolds with many surprising twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The author does a great job with character development and world building. We are even introduced to two other intriguing characters, Danny and Viv. I hope to get their story one day as well. I would rate this story a 5 out of 5 and a spice level of 4 out of 5.
This is a first read for me by this author. Despite being a dark romance, I thoroughly enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout as well. I enjoyed the writing style and plan to seek other novels written by her as well.
I recommend this novel for mature audiences only due to sexual content and violence. I also recommend the reader pay attention to the content warnings listed.
I received this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

[BooksBooksandmoreBooks69 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hunting His Doe by Kate M. Levi is a steamy, intense dark romance novella that dives headfirst into the thrilling (and dangerous) territory of obsession, online anonymity, and primal desire.

The story centers on Phillipa “Pip” Clark, whose life gets flipped when the mysterious Grayson Everett enters the picture as both her shadowy protector and a potential threat.
Pip ventures into DystopiaNet, a tantalizing chat site for the bold, where she posts a daring fantasy request.

Unaware that Grayson is lurking, his fixation growing into full blown obsession.
He adopts an alluring online persona to infiltrate her world, blurring the lines between hunter and hunted.

It’s classic predator/prey tension with heavy themes of surrender, danger laced attraction, and the razor edge between salvation and damnation!

This is a short but powerful read (under 300 pages), making it a quick, bingeable escape that feels like a thriller movie with high spice levels.
The cat and mouse chase (complete with hunting metaphors, doe vs. predator vibes) builds suspense effectively, and the online to real life transition adds a modern, voyeuristic edge that’s perfect for us dark romance lovers. 😜

This is a solid, pulse pounding addition to my dark romance shelf, perfect for a one sitting read when you want something filthy, thrilling, and unapologetically obsessive.

If you’re into authors who explore the darker side of desire (think corners of the genre with high stakes chase dynamics), Hunting His Doe looks like it’ll satisfy that craving.

Are you ready to play? The hunt is on…. grab it if dark, possessive romance with a digital twist calls to you! 🖤🦌

[Marissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hunting His Doe is a short, fast-paced cat and mouse stalker romance that dives straight into tension, heat, and the thrill of the chase.

From the moment Pip crosses paths with Grayson, there is an immediate pull. He appears when she needs help, carries an air of mystery, and sparks a connection that feels both alluring and unsettling in the best possible way. When Pip is introduced to an online space that allows fantasy to blur into reality, curiosity takes over and the game begins.

What really worked for me was how quickly this story commits to its premise. There is no filler here, it knows exactly what it wants to be and wastes no time getting there. Despite its shorter length, it never feels rushed. The tension is sharp, the pacing is tight, and the cat and mouse dynamic stays engaging from start to finish. The excitement builds naturally, and the spice lands exactly where it should.

The epilogue ended up being my favourite part, which surprised me. Epilogues are not usually what stick with me, but seeing where these characters land brought a genuine smile to my face and felt like a satisfying exhale after the intensity of the story.

If you are looking for a quick read with strong stalker energy, a thrilling chase, and plenty of heat packed into a compact story, this one is well worth picking up.

I received this book as an ARC, and this review reflects my honest thoughts and feelings, shared voluntarily.

Phillipa “Pip” Clark’s life takes a sharp turn when Grayson Everett inserts himself into it—half protector, half threat. He’s dark, secretive, and watching far more closely than she realizes. When danger creeps too close to Pip, Grayson steps in without hesitation… and without asking permission.

Things spiral when Pip makes a bold, reckless post on DystopiaNet—one that catches the attention of the wrong man. Or maybe the right one. Because Grayson is already watching. Already obsessed. Slipping into her life through an online persona, feeding the tension, the fantasy, the pull—until the line between protection and possession disappears completely.

I really, really, really enjoyed this. I read it in under an hour and absolutely destroyed my Kindle timer. It was soooo damn good.

It’s short, but it doesn’t feel lacking. Every important piece is there. You get a clear picture of how someone depraved and morally grey falls headfirst into obsession—and how his doe isn’t scared of it, but intrigued. Enchanted. Willing to step closer instead of running away.

The chemistry? So good. The teasing, the tension, the spice—it all hit exactly where it needed to. I honestly just wanted more because I wasn’t ready to let these two go yet.

This novella does dark obsession and mutual fascination right. Quick, sharp, and addictive.

Thank you Kate M. Levi for this ARC!

5⭐ 5🌶️

Pip craves something more, medical professional by day and kind of bored by night. Her best friend Viv knows she has darker fantasies and introduces her to a website made for those who love the game of cat and mouse.
Grayson loves the chase but he loves to catch and claim even more, when he sees a beautiful fiery woman in the bar it sparks his desires. Thinking she can't handle his darker side though he goes online to find someone to scratch his itch and is pleasantly surprised.

I absolutely loved this book, it was dark, hot, funny and short to give a quick fix. Our MMC was definitely bad, no morally grey about him (touch her and definitely die). Pip is switched on but knows that the dark things that should scare her leave her excited instead and the war between lust and logic she goes through is so fun to be a part of. The spice scenes were absolutely amazing, dirty, rough and also incredibly tender at the same time.

I think this book will win over anyone who's a dark romance/ cat and mouse style lover. A perfect quick read to test out the genre too if your a first timer.

There are quite a few heavy themes, graphic scenes and content that's triggering though so check out that lost before diving in so you can have as good a time as I did.

Content Warnings: Mature audiences (18+). Please check the author’s warnings before diving in.

Piper isn’t one for crowded bars or hangovers, but when she crosses paths with Greyson,first at the bar, then at the gym, she’s reminded just how magnetic he is. Their connection deepens when she joins a dating site designed for hunters and preys, and Greyson wastes no time claiming her. But when danger strikes, Piper must decide if she can trust the man who swears he’ll protect her at all costs.

Personal Reaction: I was hooked from the moment Greyson’s obsession sparked. The craving, the tension, the blazing chemistry—it all built into an explosive romance that kept me glued to the page. The predator-prey dynamic was darkly addictive, and the protective devotion Greyson shows Piper gave the story its emotional core.

Closing Impression: This book is flaming hot, intoxicating, and absolutely to die for. Perfect for readers who love obsessive heroes, high-stakes passion, and a romance that burns bright until the very end.

[Holly Capps · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a ride! Grayson and Pip’s story is one of the best stalker romances I’ve read. Kate Levi does a great job blending in the right amount of hunting and storyline in this cat-and-mouse chase with a perfect balance of spice in the story. Grayson, in all of his morally grey glory, is one of my favorites for MMC with how he balances his predatory urges with being sweet and tender to Pip. Pip, the little wildfire that she can be, is certainly wired differently but gives Grayson just as much fire as she gets from the thrilling pursuit that they have.

Favorite Quotes:
“It’s not her fear I crave, but her lust. Her trust. Her submission. That moment when fear converts to desire.”
“My mother, God rest her soul, always told me I’d find someone one day who’d have the ability to complement my flame.”
“I’d kill for you, Pip. I’d die for you, too. But I’d never, ever let harm come to you. By my hand or anyone else’s. My choice is simple. I’d choose you every single time.”
“It took me forever to find you. I never want to be without you again. I love you, Pipsqueak. I want to chase you and own you over and over again forever. In this life and the next.”

ARC Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

Hunting His Doe pulls readers into a dark, seductive game of hunter and prey where control, danger, and desire are tightly intertwined. From the opening pages, the story builds an oppressive, psychologically charged atmosphere driven by power imbalance, obsession, and a tension that refuses to ease. What begins as Pip’s bold pursuit of her fantasies quickly spirals into something far more dangerous as Grayson’s presence blurs the line between protector and predator, forcing her to question how well she truly knows the man claiming her.

The romance thrives in morally grey territory, exploring surrender versus resistance and the intoxicating pull of vulnerability used as both shield and weapon. Short chapters and fast pacing keep the story addictive and unputdownable, even when some plot turns feel predictable. Playful banter, strong chemistry, and high-heat scenes heighten the intensity, while side characters—especially Pip’s unapologetically supportive friend—add balance to the darkness.

Stalk€r Obsession & Primal Heat

Okayyyyy Besties… this cat-and-mouse Halloween stalker romance? I devoured it. Pip stumbles into DystopiaNet, and enter Grayson: masked, obsessive, "touched her & d!e" energy activated. The tension? Immaculate. The buildup and anticipation really amped up that primal play vibe, and I was eating it up.

And when this man said, “I catch you; I bone you”… Uhhh 🤭😂 Sir. The poetry. The confidence. The audacity. Ummmm… I kinda wanna meet a Grayson IRL, not even gonna lie. 😏

What I loved most was how the lines between protector and predator blurred. The suspense kept the pages turning, but it was still such a fun, quick, spicy read. This was my first time reading from this indie author, and I’m officially intrigued. I can't wait for Viv's and Danny's story now!😏

This book is definitely TBR-worthy. Let the hunt begin!😉

This was a shorter and quick read that hits the ground running right from the start. This is a fast paced read that keeps your attention from start to finish, but didn’t feel rushed, which I really appreciated.
Grayson and Pip were clearly made for each other and their story was such a wild ride. Grayson is most definitely an obsessive and possessive MMC that is her protector in the shadows. And Pip is a kind FMC that is full of surprises and a secret dark side that matches Grayson’s.
I totally recommend this read for fans of dark romances and want a fun and spicy read.

Instant attraction and Unconventional Dating

Philippa Clark(Pip) wants something a little different from normal dating. After learning about a site from her friend Viv, she signs up on DystopiaNet which is an unconventional website for those seeking stalker/prey dynamics. She is immediately excited and can’t wait for the thrill of the chase hoping that Grayson who she met in a bar is on the same website too. Instantly captivated by Pip Grayson is determined to make her his prey. Now that Pip has joined the hunt she starts to notice things are moving at a faster pace than she anticipated. Now Pip has a determined stalker who leaves notes and trinkets in more places than just on her doorstep. I could see where the plot points were going but they weren’t complete due to the shortness. Darkish scenes written in lighter forms. This is a quick novella focusing on the primal play aspect.
A fun quick novella with stalker vibes that has a medium build up.

[Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hunting His Doe by Kate M. Levi delivered all the dark, intense romance vibes I was craving. The wounded, protective MMC + vulnerable-but-strong FMC combo? Chef’s kiss. The chemistry between Grayson and Pip was slow-burn delicious, with that “touch her and die” energy done right.

I loved the found-family feel with the side characters (Danny and Tanner were great for banter and balance), and the emotional depth added real weight to the romance. The darker themes raised the stakes and made the connection between the MCs feel earned, not rushed.

A couple of moments felt like they could’ve used a little more breathing room emotionally, but overall this was a gripping, addictive read with heart, heat, and intensity in all the right places.

If you enjoy protective MMCs, small-town tension, hurt/comfort, and darker romance with real emotion — this one’s for you.

Hunting His Doe by Kate M. Levi was such a fun, addictive novella.

Pip and Grayson are instantly engaging, relatable, playful, and charged with a delicious undercurrent of tension. I loved how natural their connection felt, even as the story leaned into darker themes of obsession, protection, and desire. The predator-and-prey dynamic was especially well done, keeping me hooked from start to finish.

Kate M. Levi’s writing is wonderfully descriptive without being overwhelming, making it easy to slip into the world and feel the anticipation build with every interaction. For a novella, this story packs a surprising amount of depth, chemistry, and atmosphere.

If you enjoy dark romance with intrigue, a hint of danger, and characters that are both fun and compelling, this one is absolutely worth the read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Dark, addictive, and unapologetically intense. Hunting His Doe pulls you straight into the shadowy world of DystopiaNet, where curiosity, danger, and desire collide.

Pip is drawn to the thrill of the unknown, and Grayson is the kind of MMC who blurs every line between protector and predator. Their connection is fast, consuming, and charged with obsession. The Halloween setting adds an extra layer of tension, making everything feel darker, riskier, and more unhinged in the best way.

This story leans hard into primal dynamics, power, and obsession, with serious touch her and die energy. It is uncomfortable, provocative, and completely intentional. If you love stalker romance, morally gray MMCs, and a cat and mouse vibe that keeps you on edge, this one will absolutely hook you.

Just be warned, you will want book two immediately 🖤

I really enjoyed this spicy story about Pippa , a funny radiology tech who happens to catch the eye of Grayson after singing karaoke one night. Too bad she also catches the eye of a serious troublemaker who keeps trying her.

Later Pip decides to put it out into the universe (aka DystopiaNet), requesting something she has always wanted to try. Little does she know, Grayson knows it's her posting and decides to stalk his little doe while also being a friend to her. He understands what it is she wants and exactly how to give it to her.

This includes an excellent game of cat and mouse with primal play and paired with the Halloween time setting, it just hit all the marks for me.

Go read it!!!!!

I went into Hunting His Doe knowing it would be dark, but I didn’t expect it to pull me in this fast.
There’s no gentle introduction. You’re thrown straight into the story, fully immersed from the very first page.

Grayson’s obsession is impossible to ignore. It’s dark, possessive, and completely consuming, but that intensity is exactly what made this so addictive for me.

Pip never feels passive. She knows what she’s stepping into, and that awareness adds a constant undercurrent of tension that kept me turning pages.

The pacing is quick, the chemistry is strong, and the tension never really eases.

Hunting His Doe is a great pick if you enjoy stalker romance with a clear predator-and-prey vibe.

Hunting His Doe by Kate M. Levi is a short, dark romance that fully embraces the hunter-and-prey dynamic.
It follows Pip, who signs up on an anonymous kink platform looking for something thrilling and controlled, but ends up catching the attention of Grayson, mysterious, obsessive, and impossible to ignore. What starts online quickly crosses into real life, and the story leans hard into obsession, desire, and power play.
This is a fast, spicy read with intense tension and strong stalker vibes. The chemistry is raw, the pacing is quick, and the romance is unapologetically dark.

Grayson sees Pippa and becomes obsessed with her. Pip learns about a “dating website with specific tastes” from her best friend Viv. Pippas curiosity gets the best of her, decides to try the website, opening that door for Grayson.

Grayson is most dark romance girls dream! This story gives the cat vs mouse, stalker, touch her and 💀, masked men, with some spice.

“It’s the owning: the claiming and the ruining”

“Baby, i’m not going to break you, I’m going to fucking destroy you.”

“ I’m not quite Aladdin, but I can show you some things”

“ I will claim her over and over until she can’t walk. Then, I’ll know she’ll never be able to run from me.”

Hunting His Doe is a pretty short, dark stalker romance with a cat and mouse story.
Pippa seems to be looking for something new to test her boundaries. She joins a website called Dystopia Net where she can become someone's prey.
What she doesn't know is that Greyson was already watching her, waiting for her. And her signing up was literally just making it easier for him to connect with her. Pippa doesn't know that Grayson is her masked stalker. But she knows that she is falling for him.
They have great, spicy, intense chemistry together that makes you want to keep reading. The story is pretty fast paced and keeps you hooked. Grayson is stalker done right. He is obsessive and possessive, but so protective.
If you need a quick little stalkerish story, definitely check this one out!
