On Halloween night, Spirit, a high-end escort who plays by her own rules, accepts a mysterious private booking. Her client? Hallow. He's fine, tatted, and dangerous with eyes that see too much and a mouth that speaks in riddles.
What was supposed to be just another night of making money doing very little turns into a night that flips everything she thought she knew about sex, power, and pleasure. Because this man didn’t just send for her conversation. He came for something deeper.
And by the time the clock strikes midnight, she’ll realize some desires are otherworldly and some nights change you forever.
Spirit was a high end escort and was always waiting to be tricked on for minimal effort. Hallow was ready to be the biggest trick of all for Halloween as long as she agreed to give him the treats he needed. I liked the storyline, it wasn't too spooky and gave us just enough spice. It was on brand for the season. Don't over think it....this is a novella, meant to be short and sexy.
I don’t know this one wasn’t hitting for me like her other reads typically do. Which I’m sad about bc I usually like her novellas. It took too long to get the spice going esp for a short read.
3.5 - And Spirit was definitely that. Baby girl was getting that money. Hallow was for sure spending it. I love the bdsm/shape shifter of it all. I loved all the spice and freaky things but just wish it was moved up more in the story. A good foreplay situation kind of read if you need to cleanse your pallet in between reads.
This book didn’t fully work for me. The concept—a werewolf who needs sex to survive—felt thin without any curse or mythos to ground it. I was also unclear on what kind of monster he was meant to be. It seemed implied that he knew the heroine beforehand, but that was never fleshed out, which left their connection feeling rushed. On top of that, details like her booking agent suddenly disappearing (why wasn’t she answering the phone anymore?) made the story feel uneven. With a little more worldbuilding and consistency, I think I could’ve been more invested.
Trick Me, Treat Me by Thee Tasha Marie is what you hope to get when you're reading a short. It's exactly what you need when you're looking for an erotic short. Decent character development and an interesting story with a good pace that keeps you hooked and wanting to read more about the characters. I highly recommend Trick Me, Treat Me.

The author does a good job at giving you a captivating novelette. They’re short, steadily paced & entertaining. This was one of those stories where I was like “this couldn’t be me”. There was too much intuition trying to kick in for the FMC that she was blatantly ignoring… MCs who decide against their discernment stress me out.
Giiirl, I, too, would love the spooky holiday if I got my back cracked like Spirit. A well-payed escort getting money to get the best sex of her life? She absolutely deserves! Hallow is a freaaaaak honey.
3.25⭐️ short, spicy, and straight to the point. Can’t put a finger on what it was but I wasn’t locked in like I expected. Although this was my first by this author and I would definitely read more by her after reading.
This is definitely this authors lane, I’ve read her work in the past and it wasn’t my favorite but this one was short, spicy and perfect for spooky season.
Holy Molly!!!! This was spicy 🌶️!!! I’m over here outta breath for the girl 🥹💕😆😆!!! On baby this was short sweet and to the exact point lol!! Love this down!!!
This was a fun, quick Halloween read. I was not expecting him to reveal the inly thing that keeps him from turning into a wolf every halloween is good coochie by midnight 😭😭 I died when that was revealed.
Perfect spooky season escape. Spirit is a woman who knows her worth and runs her business on her terms, but the night she meets Hallow changes everything she thought she knew about sex, power, and pleasure.
This short story is erotic, dark, and magnetic the kind of read that pulls you in and leaves you lingering over the possibilities. The tension between Spirit and Hallow is dangerous yet irresistible, and it makes the Halloween setting feel even more electric.
It’s a quick but unforgettable read that reminds you some nights aren’t just about desire, they’re about transformation.
A very spicy and seductive read. There was a lot going on in this short story 😳. A werewolf, a beast of a creature has to feed off the essence of female to survive the curse before the clock strikes!
This little Halloween heatwave slid in like a whisper and left me needing water and reflection. Spirit walks in like she owns every room...soft, expensive, and untouched by doubt- until she crosses paths with a man who moves like temptation in human form. Hallow isn’t loud about his power; he’s the kind of danger that speaks with his hands, not his voice. One night with him shifted her balance, her ego, and her body count of clarity.
I enjoyed how the story wastes zero time proving its point: pleasure can be a mirror, and sometimes the person “in charge” has no idea what surrender really feels like until someone shows them. Their chemistry was a collision- not cute, not gentle...consuming in a way that lingers after the last line.
It’s definitely a quick hit, so you won’t get deep world-building or long emotional unraveling, but it still manages to carry that rich, intoxicating pull of something darker and bigger than a hookup. The pacing snaps, the tension builds fast, and the payoff is wicked enough to leave your brain replaying scenes long after closing the book.
I’m giving it four stars because I wanted more story to go with all that heat...more fallout, more secrets, more aftermath- but for what it is, it delivers the perfect late-night Halloween fix.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 — A deliciously dark fantasy that’ll leave you begging for more.
Trick Me, Treat Me is dark, delicious, and sinfully addictive and a decadent bite of erotic magic that lingers long after midnight. Spirit isn’t your average escort; she’s power wrapped in silk. But when she meets Hallow, dangerous, divine, and dripping in mystery, the game changes. What begins as business turns into a hauntingly sensual dance of dominance, surrender, and soul-deep desire. Tasha Marie doesn’t just write heat. She conjures it. Every page is a spell, every word a caress. If you like your Halloween treats wicked and wet with tension, this one’s a must read.
10’s across the board!!! This was such a fun and sexy Halloween read!!! I had a blast and it was a wild ride with Hallow and Spirit. I have no complaints. I love how TheeTashaMarie is able to give smut but also some backstory and plot with her short novellas. She is really becoming one of my favorite authors. I fell in love with one of her longer books she wrote so I love how she is able to thoroughly write both long and short novels. I am looking forward to Hallow and Spirit next Halloween for part 2. You will not be disappointed, read this before Halloween is over!
Baby, there ain't nothing like a beast! I'd say you need one 365 days a year, but the way Hallow got down...you'd need medical intervention at some point. This was a unique story. Spirit was an escort, but not the usual. She was paid for an experience, not THE experience. Hallow however is able to get her to submit to his every command in an effort to not become a full-blown wolf. These two had the neighbors 2 counties away knowing his name! Quick, fun, spicy, see ya next year type of read. Happy Halloween Reading Y'all!💋🎃
I loved this spicy novella!! Spirit just knew she was that girl!! Beautiful, paid, and in control until she met Hallow!! Hallow was BD energy wrapped in a beastly beautiful package calm, and in control!! He so eloquently unraveled Spirit, left her light, satisfied, sore, and paid!! She left with just as many questions, but anticipating next Halloween. Five stars Ms. Marie!! I can’t wait to see what’s next!!🥰
On Halloween Night is dark, erotic, and utterly addictive. Spirit thinks she’s in control—until Hallow walks in. Dangerous, tatted, and otherworldly, he turns one paid night into a hauntingly unforgettable descent into lust, power, and desire. 🌙✨ And I loved every word of it!
This story is a quick Halloween read that leaves a strong impression. The give-and-take between the characters is shown in a bold and erotic way, making it unforgettable. Because the story is short, the characters don’t have much depth, but the author’s writing style keeps you hooked and makes you want to read more. It’s a short but striking tale that stays with you after you finish.
Spirit was called for a different type of service from Hollow on Halloween.. he needed cat to stay alive and Spirit was the one to give him what he needed so the beast in him could transform back to human.. she never slept with clients, but this time was different and she wouldn’t mind a repeat next year.. shirt quick spicy read
Her intro before reading chapter 1 ...put everyone on notice on what this book was going to be about!!!! Straight shot no chaser! This book was hot 🔥 and the point. If your looking for a romance book ...this isn't it.
The Tasha Marie know she be coming with those fire a$$ spicy stories. This was just the right amount of spicy and mystery. This book ate down, good read.
lol this was a great way to start the season for me. Erotica and Paranormal?! Yes, please!! Baby he turned my girl every which way but loose! Same time, same place next year, T?!
