Hide and Claim
One hundred thousand euros. One night. One hunter
Who's been watching me for thirteen months.
I came to Devil's Night desperately broke, drowning in my mother's medical bills, willing to play a twisted game for money I desperately need. Hide and seek with rich strangers at a gothic estate. What could go wrong?
Everything.
The "game" is real. The hunters are predators. And escape means death.
Maksim Zakharov has been obsessed with me since the moment he saw me on campus. Now, on this blood soaked Halloween night, he's finally getting what he me, running through the darkness with nowhere to hide.
He strips away my defenses piece by piece my clothes, my resistance, my certainty that I don't want this. Every time he catches me, I have a surrender something, or surrender everything.
I should hate him. I should be terrified.
But with every chase through the forest, every dark promise whispered against my skin, the line between fear and desire blurs until I can't tell them apart anymore.
By dawn, I'll either be his or broken beyond repair.
This is not a love story. This is an obsession.

It started with a HUNT.
You know the kind, only rich people throw?
The kind where everyone being hunted either ends up dead, or just wishes they were?
This isn’t a romance series. It’s more like erotic horror.
Is it hot and spicy? Yup.
Lots of primal play and very dubious consent.
A rich stalker who claims her? For sure.
Does she want to be claimed by him? That’s a little more tricky to answer and honestly, it’s irrelevant…. She belongs to Maksim now whether she wants to or not…..
Pretty decent story BUT definitely NOT a satisfying conclusion. Book feels unfinished and could use at least a little wrap-up. It’s not really a HFN, but I’m not sure it’s supposed to be.
There’s more books in the series (not currently released) so it would be great to get a bit more satisfying conclusion but after reading book 2 and getting an even worse ending, I think these stories are NOT MEANT TO BE HEA/ HFN.
Just FYI….
They are dark- Russian mafia dark- kidnapped and dub-con level dark. Not a true happy ending dark.
I actually enjoyed this one despite being more of a happy-ending fan. It was all great except I want a bit more conclusion thus the 4⭐️

Leave your morals and principles behind with Any dignity that’s left.
And be prepared to be hunted down.
Such a I can’t even say spicy cause it’s more than that.
To beat the inevitable mmm good luck cause These Masked men are wolfs.
Ate this up and I crave more
Oh this is certainly my type of macabre
Do warn you before reading this please read the triggers this may not be for everyone and that’s fine
But for the rest of you feral unhinged goddesses this is for you mi ptichka.

Desperate times lead to desperate measures when college student Haven & her friends attend Hell Night for a chance to win money needed to pay for her mom's medical bills. Soon they realize they've signed up for more than anyone could have imagined. A messed up game of hide and seek.
This is a dark, college, masked st@lker , Halloween novella.

could have been a better plot.
This book could have been amazing. It’s a good quick spicy read but it could have been sooo much more. I would have written the little back story at the beginning to kind of amp up what is to happen. Maybe done a duel point of view.
It was ok if you like quicky spicy stories….There’s now build up for me.

One and done
Won't read again. 5 stars for spice though!! Definitely NSFW. More smut then plot unfortunately bc this could have really gone aomewhere.. the trigger warnings aren't kidding either.

Very quick read. Trigger warnings aren’t messing around. I wish this was longer, there could have been such an amazing story here. I wish the ending wasn’t so abrupt. This was a good read though! I did enjoy it and looking forward to the next instalment

Hmmm
This was a short very spicy story! It was interesting and makes me want to have a full book or a continuation on Havens story! If you like stalker dark romance hunt and prey stories I recommend this one!

I didn't read the trigger warnings cause I didn't think I would need to. That was a mistake. The noncon was so bad it literally made me emotional. Idk how the next one is about her friend finding her romance when she was raped this entire book. Would not recommend

this was good but it was definitely missing something. i feel like it shouldve been more descriptive and edited because i caught a couple typos with missing quotation marks. other than that, i NEED to know what happened to Elias after they broke off- I DEMAND IT!!

Spooky, enticing primal play in this quick read.

well that was an abrupt ending wish there was more... reminds me of a cross between two movies I've seen but added spice to the mix
