This book had my attention from page one and I know it’s a novella but I want more!! This was the perfect quick read and I highly recommend it

🪭 fan needed lol

Oooh yes this was a slutty good time! 

Micah was single and although she hadn't been with a man in almost a year she made sure she came on the regular. She was a whole freak and I was here for it. Halloween brings an opportunity that she just can't pass up. It was like her fantasies were all coming true in one night. I wasn't ready for it to end because I wanted in on the action with Gabby and Sailor Moon. Also the Mmc was a whole stalker and I wanted to see what else he had up his sleeve. 

SN: um can we talk about this thrust machine 😳 because that's wild.....where can I find it  🤣

I enjoyed this spicy read. I need something light to read. I hope Shon writes more Halloween short stories in the future because this one had me on my toes.

This was…I’m speechless. This book is GOODT and so spicy! Perfect Halloween erotica. Shon never disappoints with any of her books tho and

[SheCozyAndLit · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg SHON gonna get the spice and plot right everytime. Ummm I need more. You can’t leave me hanging like this

[Monique · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a GOOD time. I need 200 more pages of them, please. The reveal at the end was predictable but didn’t take away from the story. It kind of enhanced it because of the forbidden nature of it. Also we love a woman who is sexually liberated. Micah was a freak and unapologetic about it.

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is really an erotic short rather than a romance because we don't get an HEA here, BUT it's a fun romp with some good primal play and black characters so I don't even mind. I would love to see this as the prequel short before a full length romance because I like both these characters and I think it could be a fun mashup of stalker/boss employee that I haven't really seen before.

my secret lover

It’s HOT in here!! Quick read full of spice ! I’m hoping praying it’s the intro into a full book bc what!!!!

[Goddess’ Smut Library 🩷 · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.25⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I literally want to know more about their story because there’s no way that this is only a one-time thing. You feel the chemistry from their very first interaction.

[Sha Sha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dang this was good. I wish it was continued. Lol this is a short fantasy Halloween ish erotica. It was spicy and I didn’t want it to end.

[Maya · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am going to hell for reading this filthy book on a Sunday!! lol!! But as always, my girl delivers!!!

[bree ✰ · Rating 5 out of 5]

this was written for me specifically & no one can tell me otherwise. 🤭 as someone with a wild imagination, i had a good time.

[Darcy J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s Shon. She just gets it. 👏🏾🌶️

[Robin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yes please and thank you 🔥

[Lisareadsromance · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mmmhhhmmm

Baby whoever thought you'd be slutted the f*** out in a f****** graveyard on Halloween night.... That's not a fantasy of mine but now it might the f*** be. Damn Micah is wild s*** the ending is wild, I expected it but also didn't expect it. SHON You're the f*** out of What 70 something pages.. 7 magical multiple orgasms back to back and a black out... is you cool if that's possible maybe sign me the f*** up.😅 Now I definitely called on who him was... But I aint expect all that s***...this was amazing

[Crystal (Melanatedreader) Forte' · Rating 4 out of 5]

I ain’t never thought about being freaked out in a graveyard

One thing Shon going to do is turn us all out in less than 100 pages and this one took me about an hour to read 🚬 Shon girl when that man said run baby my heart went to my chest and the ending baby was chef’s kiss 🤣🤣

[Keesha · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oooh we! 65 pages of smutty goodness. Happy Halloween!

[hea booktubes]

DNF 38% never mind.

[Carla ☺Did I Say That☺ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spicy!!!!!!!

[Dana Prejean · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one was good! I needed just a tad bit more at the end but maybe we will get it next year.

[Lara · Rating 4 out of 5]

I knew it was her boss lol.
But still hot.

[TellsOfABibliophile · Rating 4 out of 5]

🪦🎃🍆💦

In a graveyard is different. But the stalker took the cake for me. He made sure to be undetected and Idk I find that quite sexy 🫣🫢. Don’t judge me lol. This was short and spicy.

[Ebony Essence · Rating 4 out of 5]

Over just like 😑..

This was a quick and nasty holiday short that i throughly enjoyed. If you need to feed your erotic itch well tap in and get them track shoes ready. This is full of excitement and pleasure. Definitely left me wanting more.

[DaphaBelle Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 ⭐️ & 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5. **Sigh** one thing about Shon, the MMC is always going to love on and worship the MFC. This Halloween novella was no exception, and I was absolutely here for it!

[The Book Jawn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Whew!!!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

[Quira · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh look at that…another short involving primal play making me question myself IRL.

[Yanique (YanCanWorld) · Rating 5 out of 5]

70 pages and wow!
I’d run too!

[Val but you can call me Shug · Rating 5 out of 5]

whew

Now that was a Halloween short I’m not mad at. I feel like she can continue this story or give us a full length stalker romance. Please give us a full length stalker romance

[EricaLenise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Micah’s inner thoughts were a whole treat throughout this one 😭 She is hilarious without even trying. The sexy times? Yeah, the Pumpkin Man understood the assignment 🎃🔥

It was quick, spicy, and had just enough mystery to keep me locked in. That twist at the end though? Micah girl… you are being watched 👀

Perfect little Halloween read with heat and humor. 4.5⭐ because it gave exactly what it needed to for a short, spooky good time.
