Snuff
Seven years ago Kali was taken from a Halloween party and left for dead by her ex-boyfriend and his friends. Now she’s back with a new identity, a thirst for revenge, and a spicy little show on the dark web where she kills bad men. Her attackers know the name, and what she does, but they don’t know it’s her, or who’s next.
All Maddox has ever wanted was to for him and his sister to escape the clutches of Brent Preston. He thought he had finally found a way out. Then he sees a live stream where the notorious Phoenix kills the man helping him. Now, the only thing that rivals his need for freedom is his obsession with her.

After the traumatic night Kali went through seven years ago, she emerged from the ashes as a completely different person: Masked and deadly!
**Last night, I watched Phoenix k*ll a man that was helping me, and instead of being upset about it, all I can think about is how badly I need to see her again.**
I just finished Snuff like this second and OMG!! That ending!! At 99%, I was like this cannot be the end!!! I didn’t want to finish the book, it was so good! This book was f*cking🔥. I never read anything like it.
**I wake up with my d*ck hard as steel again. For fuck’s sake, this is ridiculous. How can I be this fucking obsessed with her?**
Maddox is a god among men! I need one of him! I love his nickname for her; I can hear him saying it in my head and 🥵. And Kali is a serial killer badass who knows exactly what she wants and whose head (or heads) and will stop at nothing until she gets them.
** “Well, go on, ***** *****,” he says, voice deep and heavy with need. He leans forward some more, eyes locked on mine. “Cut me, but you better c*me for me when you do.” **
Masks
Light BDSM
🔪play (and OMG!! iykyk 👀)
🩸play
Revenge
So much more…
** She smiles and even in this low light, I can see that she's blushing. That is officially my third favorite thing to see on her face, following her smile and the way she looks when she c*mes. **
Thank you for allowing me to read for you!!

Firstly. Thank you for giving me the chance to read this book.
Kali is my world. I’m obsessed. I think I fell in love. Like genuinely head over heels. Who doesn’t want a serial killer FMC who’s hot as fuck?!
This story follows Kali who was wronged 7 years ago and she wants her revenge. It also follows Maddox who’s a part of the revenge but in a different way. Maddox is a sweet killer, but in my eyes it’s justified. This book reminded me of the mindfuck series mixed with a little butcher and blackbird which are 2 of my favourite books.
This book gives a good mix of sex and murder which tbf is the best kind of books! B
Personally, Nex got what he deserved and I’m so here for it. A badass FMC getting her revenge seems sweet to me. Especially while her stalker is watching.
Kali and Maddox start out getting revenge and become so much more.
I would love to see Stories from the side characters as well.
That ending had me gasping out loud. Since when did that happen?!
I need the next book immediately!!

Snuff by Sable Rayne does exactly what it promises, and I mean that as a compliment. It’s dark, spicy, unapologetic revenge romance, and it never pretends to be anything else.
The dedication alone tells you who it’s for: readers who like seeing their abusers dead and men on their knees.
When I dove into this dark romance, I never expected to find so many echoes of the great revenge stories. There’s the patient, methodical payback of The Count of Monte Cristo. There’s the avenger with a darker side, like in Sweeney Todd. There’s the feeling of The Crow, the one the prologue reminded me of first. And there’s a little Wuthering Heights in the obsessive love that refuses to let go. I don’t think this is borrowing, I think it’s something harder: a writer who clearly understands the tradition she’s working in, and layers it into something that feels new. That kind of craft is a gift to the genre, and I’m so impressed by it. 🖤
What I really appreciated: a trigger warning right at the start, and a playlist picked with care. Authors who think about immersion and reader safety at the same time are rare.

This dark romance book was so good!! Each character was so well written with actual goals that were fully believed in by each character's supporters. Kali and Maddox both know exactly what they want and need to do which is so well executed. Each of the characters also feel like their own being instead of a repeat of another character in the book. That made the writing even better!
The female rage truly burned and thrived in Kali, making her so interesting to me. I can completely understand Maddox's easy obsession with her!
I'm personally new to the genre of dark romance, this has felt like a welcoming book to the genre all together. It's not too over the top with the blood and gore. It has the perfect balance of romance and murder. And of course, all of the best spice scattered throughout. The spice itself was so good! Sable M. Rayne executed the combination of all three of them in one book beautifully. And should absolutely be proud of it!
This truly was an amazingly done dark romance book! And I truly can't wait to read the next book!

the plot idea of this book was really good, but it was executed so poorly :(!! i was really excited for this book, but it didn’t meet my expectations at all. i felt that overall it was written poorly in many different aspects. one way i can point out is that it was like the author wrote this story expecting you not to think too far into any of details surrounding the characters, their backstories, or the plot in general. the main characters are supposed to be killers, but it’s like i can’t FEEL that they are. i feel like i never really got to know the main characters as much as i should have, but i still loved their relationship and how it developed despite the missing pieces. i just wish it had more depth!! i really loved Kali because shes such a boss bitch and i loved maddox as well!! the spice was 🔥🔥!! i’m still giving it 3 stars because i really think the idea of it is amazing and i enjoyed many parts of it, but from an overall view there is flaws that can’t be skipped over.

Well, Sable Rayne came in and showed out with her first indie book!
Snuff gave me a badass FMC, a brutal revenge story, and a romance that made my heart happy.
Kali has been through hell. Betrayed, beaten, broken, and left for dead by the people who were supposed to care about her. But she survived, and what came back wasn't the same woman. She became Phoenix, and she was ready to make every single one of them pay.
I absolutely loved watching Kali reclaim her power and get the revenge she deserved. She wasn't just surviving anymore; she was taking control of her own story.
And then there's Maddox. These two are absolutely perfect for each other! I loved that while Kali was getting her revenge, she also found someone who was made for her.
Sable, you did your damn thing! This was one heck of a debut, and that ending?! I NEED MORE! I'm really hoping this isn't the last we've seen of Kali and Maddox.

This book reminds me of Mindf*ck meets Butcher and Blackbird. It is dark, full of revenge and very steamy. Definitely graphic, so check out the trigger warnings, but if you like dark romance, this fits the bill.
A vigilante killer and a top enforcer with a mildly violent but very sexy meet cute. Both have their jobs, which appear to be starting to overlap. It’s one hell of a way to start a relationship.
There’s a solid mix of sex and murder, so the book delivers on its promises. The “good” characters (because I mean, they do still kill people 🤷🏼♀️) are likable. Kali and Maddox truly have incredible friends. I’m hoping we get to see more of them in the book as Kali and Maddox deal with the fall out of their choices so far. The bad guys are truly despicable, so they get no sympathy. Can’t wait to read book 2!

⚠️Before jumping into this book please check the trigger warnings⚠️
SNUFF is book 1 of a duet and was a pretty quick read. It's a brutal revenge story with so much delicious spice. Kali is a damn powerhouse FMC who didn't let her past trauma take hold of her. Instead she rose from the ashes stronger than ever and spent years preparing to serve cold, calculated retribution against her abusers.
Then there is Maddox. What a man!! A man who is completely obsessed with Phoenix (Kali) from the second he lays eyes on her. The way this man melts for her and literally crawls for her SWOON. Their chemistry, the banter between them and the connection they share from their past (they don't know yet) make their story incredible and so intense.
The supporting characters are just as important when it comes to this story. And I hope we get more of their stories in the next book. Because they are just amazing.
My only dislike about this book is that there were a few gaps in the story timeline leading up to the ending of the book, which I'm not sure if that was intentional for page count or not. But then the last little bit of the book felt rushed and leaves us with a cliffhanger. Definitely need book 2 ASAP. Overall, SNUFF was a great book and debut for Sable.
Thank you for the opportunity to read your debut novel. Oh also, the playlist for SNUFF *chef's kiss*

Snuff was absolutely everything I was hoping for, and MORE! From the first page to the last page it’s absolutely explosive and has you on the edge of your seat. Literally. My cheeks were clenched and I found myself holding my breath through several chapters.
Firstly, the MMC in this book is definitely a favorite of mine. While being a total badass unaliver, He’s down BAAAD for her and turns into putty in her hands and I absolutely love to see it.
Secondly, the FMC just ticks so many dark romance boxes for me. Everything she is and stands for is just chefs kiss. Unaliving and seeking justice against her abusers is everything to me.
Oh, and let’s not forget about her special toy by the end of the book ;) IYKYK.
Definitely give this one a try if you’re looking for a dark and dirty revenge story with strong characters. 🖤🔪🩷

Halloween night, what better time for a dark and twisted revenge fantasy to come to light - careful not to think you got away with the sins of the past to early “If you haven’t seen any consequences after seven days, seven months, or seven years, you got away with it” for on the seven year anniversary of the defining event of Kali’s past, Phoenix will have her revenge, for some consequences don’t come in the form of the justice system
Dark and Spicy just like we want a dark romance to be! Snuff truly delivered on all its promises of keeping you on your toes wanting to know how it’s going to end, just in time to leave you wanting more and screaming that it’s over too soon, while we all wait for book 2 add falling for Kali and Maddox to your TBR!!

This is a deliciously twisted tale of revenge with plenty of spice! The characters were so well written and the way their past traumas brought them together was perfect. Kali was such a strong, resilient FMC and I absolutely loved her vigilante alter ego. Seeing her work her way toward her well deserved vengeance was satisfying, but seeing her learn to trust again was my favorite part. I couldn’t get enough of her developing relationship with Maddox and their highly entertaining banter and chemistry. I can’t wait for the next book!

Wow this book blew my mind in the most unexpected and wonderful way! Super dark in all aspects you’d want when it comes to a revenge romance. Kali is the most amazing FMC and you can really understand why she is the way she is as you learn about her past. Maddox is a morally grey MMC so of course he and Kali have a spicy connection! The author did such a fantastic job moving the plot forward and the characters are all really interesting. The ending was unexpected and I can’t wait to see what happens next. You need to read this book!!

Looking for a fierce and strong FMC who takes back her life after trauma? Or an obsessive and hot MMC who is willing to crawl to her? Look no further!
I devoured this book so fast! The writing is amazing and kept me hooked through the whole story. There was nothing that felt too slow or like it didn't need to be there. Every piece is necessary for the story, the spice included.
While the book is short, only about 220 pages, I felt like it covered everything in the story perfectly. It made for a nice quick read that left me craving more, and I can't wait for what's coming next!

This is a dark MF romance and not only is it dark, it’s graphic and the spice is next level and I loved every minute of it! Do check your triggers before you indulge though as this may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Kali is the epiphany of hell has no fury like a woman scorned. She is powerful and following how Maddox embrace her unhinged ways is magic.

Are you looking for a book that has a good revenge plot, a bada*s fmc, AND a man that doesn’t hesitate to get on their knees? Yes? Then this is a book I definitely recommend.
Seeing Kali’s story and being able to read about her progress healing-wise and being able to get her revenge was absolutely amazing. I loved watching her slowly learn to trust again and I absolutely adored Maddox.

I absolutely loved spicy, dark romance! The plot is amazing, and the spice is 🔥🔥
Kali is incredible! Relatable, strong, funny. She's made up her mind and nothing is getting in the way of that 🖤
Maddox may be a certified unaliver, but he's also a S I M P 🔥
If you enjoyed the revenge plot Mindf*ck series, try this!
Now I must impatiently wait for book 2🖤🖤

Check your trigger warnings. A dark, twisted steamy revenge romance. I'm totally invested in this story. That ending was just brutal. How are you going to leave us like that?

This revenge is oh so sweet 🤌🏻
I absolutely DEVOURED this book. I loved how fast paced and spicy it is. There were so many gasps, "oohs" and "ahhs", plus plenty of cussing. I can't wait to get book two in my hands because the way it ended was both incredibly satisfying and nowhere near enough 🤭. Congratulations on an incredible debut, Sable!
