Since Ez and Nessa’s fateful night at the warehouse, Little The Indie Horror Film has spread like wildfire, earning them awards, a devoted cult following, and far more attention than they ever expected. But success always casts a shadow. For Ez and Nessa, that shadow comes to life in the form of a stalker. Someone who watches from the dark, slips into their home and demands more.
With their privacy shattered and their curiosity sparked, Ez and Nessa must decide how far they’re willing to go into the darkness to uncover the little shadow disrupting their lives.

Little Shadow

This is for book 1 and the follow up novella. They're short, but gripping and leaves you wanting more. I mean after book 1, I jumped right into the next - I just couldn't wait.

Now I'm not ashamed to admit that I have to watch horror movies under a blanket or behind a pillow. But horror books?... I love them!! This story involves a stalker, an abandoned warehouse, and a dare to spend the night alone in it. A game of cat and mouse that changes two lives overnight.

I can't wait to finish the series.

In this novella... someone else wants to play as well.

This is such a delicious follow up short to the Little Lamb novella and my goddess did I want this to be twice as long!

Our unhinged lesbians are back and this time they’re the ones being stalked, but they are never the prey! Christ, if you thought Little Lamb was HOT! then you’re simply not ready for the follow up. This little nugget of 64 pages managed to cram an entire stories worth into such a short span of time and I loved every single page.

Nessa and Ez will always have a place in my heart, they feed the little horror gremlin that lives in my brain. And this was even better because despite them being an established couple this book was hotter. It also highlighted that both of them would do anything for the other and that neither of them will stray, despite being handed it on a silver platter.

If I could give this 10 ⭐️ I would. This book is what I’m calling book 1.5 in the Masked Mascs series, so start with Little Lamb then read Little Shadow before moving onto Into the Fire!

if little lamb was for the scream sapphics who wanted sam to become ghostface, little shadow is the sequel i didn't know i needed with a little mean girls twist to it because what do you mean the girl who bullied you into the arms of you girlfriend slash stalker fantasizes about the 3 of you? maybe erin deserves her own masked masc...

I’m just a puddle..on the floor..no biggie. Once again Cirrus has left me drooling over these ladies. Ugh, *insert Jennifer Aniston’s “I’m so happy & totally not jealous” friends gif here* 😅😭
