Alba
Halloween was supposed to be a distraction. A night of drinks, music, and friends to escape the sinking feeling that my girlfriend was slipping away from me. But one wrong turn up the mountain changes everything. A dead man at my feet. Two skull-masked strangers stalking me through the forest. And a choice that feels like it was never really mine to make.

Remy & Nik
We’ve been watching her for years. Soft, sweet little Alba. Living with a girl who doesn’t deserve her, walking around our apartment like she isn’t begging to be claimed. Tonight we finally get to take her. The forest is ours. The night is ours. And by the time the sun rises, our feisty kitten will be too.

Till Death

OK, this might be my favorite in the series - yes, I devoured it!

This was the most creepy. I mean being chased through the mountain, in the woods at night?! Alba started that night disappointed and scared, but she came out like a phoenix rising. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Another great addition to the series. This one is a tad darker than the other two but I really liked that! A good short and spicy sapphic series.

Written in First Person with 1x POV. Book 3 in the Masked Masc series. FFF, Two Masc FMC’s, Hunter x Prey, Masc/Femme. 3x Spicy Scenes.

2 Spicy Scenes

Okay so this one might be the darkest of the Masked Mascs series and I am so totally here for it!

I never understood the appeal of being chased through the woods, but then again I don’t run so 🤷‍♀️. But reading about it, gods yes! And to top it off Alba is being chased by not 1 but 2 masked mascs, you bet your ass I was sat for this book. I’m a huge fan of why choose romance and Cirrus delivered it deliciously and oh so darkly.

What I’ve loved about this entire series, is that yes they are dark and yes the FMCs are mostly unhinged, but there’s also that underlying theme of rawness and insecurity, and in this one we get anxiety rep. It gives that extra kick of authenticity to the overall story, even if it is about being chased by masked psychos that want to bang!

Essentially what I am saying is, go read this series liked yesterday. They are fast paced, quick reads that’ll have you asking “please miss, may I have some more”

5/5🌶️
•dark sapphic thriller
•FFF
•cat & mouse
•masked women
•captor x captive

the ending was such a certified baddie move 😭 Alba finds out her girlfriend of FOUR YEARS has been cheating on her, and instead of crashing out, crying, screaming, throwing plates… she pulls up while her ex is literally with the side chick and casually introduces her NEW
girlfriends. i was SICK 💀💀💀 that level of petty composure?? elite behavior.

Alba, Remy, and Nik were hot as hell together. i needed wayyy more of them because their scenes were over too fast. the whole them chasing her through the woods at night thing was creepy as fuck in the best way possible — tense, unhinged, weirdly hot??? i was locked in the entire time. absolutely ate that shit up.

my only complaint is that i REALLY wish we got Remy and Nik’s POVs too. i needed to know what was going on in their heads because their dynamic with Alba was insane.

4.5, rounded up

You can read my full review on my blog.

Till Death features not just one, but two masked mascs. A poly/throuple romance, I was really intrigued by this book. I don't get to read poly books very often so I was especially excited to read this book!

I'll admit, this is probably my least favorite book in the series, but I need to stress why. This book only has the POV of Alba and I really enjoyed the POV of the mascs. I liked getting a bit of insight into why they were so obsessed with their partners. I think it's why Into the Fire was my favorite, there was an equal number of POV chapters between the two characters. I know that likely would've been a lot harder with this book because of having both Remy and Nik, but I think it would have increased my enjoyment tenfold.

That being said, I still really enjoyed this story. It felt harsher and darker than the other books, more gruesome and dangerous. So it had my heart pumping a lot quicker. It was a dangerous drawn out stalking through the forest, feeding into Alba's fears and anxiety.

The heat was...possibly my favorite in the series actually. All the books have amazing sex scenes, but this book's scenes hit something different. They were hot as hell.

Also, as much as I would have loved chapters from Remy and Nik, I also loved Alba as a main character. Probably one of, if not my top, favorite main character. She was feisty and not willing to go down without a fight.

Round it up to 4.9

I got this as my first ARC and I couldn’t be more happier about it!

I was IMMEDIATELY drawn in at the idea of mascs in masks cause like yes I was sooo tired of pretending the men were women in other books 😭

This was my first time reading a more short and sweet written story and it was executed perfectly! It’s super dark which I look for in a book and satisfyingly spicy 👀. The pacing and the build up was super thrilling. I would have really loved to see more of the other characters perspectives. I can’t wait to see more of Cirrus Rae’s work. Amazing debut 💓

Edit: I can’t stop re-reading it lol 🤭

my first FFF book and cannot say enough about how much I’m loving this series. I’ve never really read dark romance but I’ve decided this year I was going to explore my taste and I really wanted a ff rec rather than the regular’s you always see reccomend on tiktok that never live up to the hype

“If you choose to go, we'll respect that and leave you alone. But if you stay, you're ours. Not just for tonight. Not just until morning. You'll be ours and we'll be yours. Till death."

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - 4/5
I loved it but idk cause it’s my first FFF I’m just gonna give it a 4.5 but it lowkey can be a 5, would reccomend

After discovering her girlfriend's infidelity, Alba is stalked through the forest by Remy and Nik, two skull-masked strangers who have been watching her for years and are determined to claim her.

Ufff. This was wild and extremely spicy. This book has to be my favorite from the series. I loved the connection between Alba, Remy, and Nik. I am still thinking about the tension and their dynamic. It was hard to put down. I clearly need more of them!

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Just wow! Sexy and thrilling. This book will definitely get your juices flowing and have you tingly in all the right places. I’m a booktok girly so I already have some off the wall desires but THIS BOOK…gave me a few more! Highly highly recommend! Cannot wait to read more from this amazing author who apparently loves to titillate her readers (pun intended). Get this book and enjoy!

[Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book as a free ARC but I can honestly say that I loved this book! It was a quick read but the spice was spicing! Loved all three women!
Masked Mascs needs to be a bigger market! I need more women running through the woods being chased!

[cloudy · Rating 5 out of 5]

finally, not only a lesbian final girl, but she also got the girl(s) at the end of the book. i loved how raw and rough her fighting them was, it made their inevitable crash all the more fulfilling. and her basketball goddesses girlfriends were girlfriends, lucky bitch.

[Shayna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love these masked baddies!! So far this one is my favorite! The high intensity chase omgg I felt every second of it! In such a short book full emotion and story was captured I was left wanting Remy and Nic fine asses to idkkk add a 4th ;)

This is my favorite of Cirrus Rae’s. Good set-up, nice reading a “why choose,” and my heart was /actually/ pounding a bit at the genuine thriller bits—chasing and injury and whatnot.

2 spicy scenes

[Vic Freeman · Rating 5 out of 5]

What's better then one masked masc! Two...i Absolutely loved it and it kept me wanting more.

[Katie B · Rating 5 out of 5]

YESSSS. Chased through the woods, predator/prey style with some violence involved? And TWO masked mascs in a why choose? YES! The third book in the Masked Mascs series and definitely my favourite. Definitely the most dangerous so far, and that says a lot if you’ve read the first two!
I know these are supposed to be short and to the point but I’d have loved it to be longer with more backstory exploration and a build up to the woods scenes. Even saying that though, I very much enjoyed it as is.

Plot Summary:
Alba heads out to a Halloween party, but soon gets run off the road and faced with two people in masks ready to claim her as theirs. Throw in some very delicious cat and mouse moments through the woods, dark and spicy moments, and finding out her pursuers are her cheating girlfriend’s sister and roommate who have had their eyes on her for a while.. and you’ve got this book!

Things I Loved:
- Chased through the woods
- Caught in a hunting trap
- Violence & murd3r
- Actual risk, injury & pain
- Alba putting up a good fight
- F/F/F
- Stick it to the cheating ex
- The ending!

Overall, a deliciously dark and spicy, why choose F/F/F romance with some very tasty, messy moments through the woods…
