I Gotchu, Boo

Home for the Gobble Days

Rate this book
I have the perfect, sexy boyfriend, but I've been haunted by memories of being dominated by the ghost that used to live in my house ever since Halloween.

Only problem is, we exorcised him.

So now, I'm trying to enjoy Thanksgiving with Karl's family, try to settle in to the mundane and simple aspects of our relationship. Or as mundane as he and I get. You know, getting a little hot and heavy a mile high, defiling his childhood bedroom, and sneaking out into the woods so no one can hear me scream. The simple pleasures in life.

Wait--okay, that last one didn't end up being so mundane, because it turns out there's ghosts in them thar woods.

And I'm ready for them to possess me. I'm just hoping they're as much of a freak in the sheets as I am. If the moaning is anything to go by, we just may be kindred souls.

Home for the Gobble Days is a 15k-word sequel to Give In to the Ghost of the Thirteen Kinks of Halloween, but can be read as a standalone. It features scorching hot, explicit sex scenes between a haunted erotica writer, her younger college-aged boyfriend, and a gaggle of repressed calvinist spirits who couldn't wait to get their freak on.

Not sure what I just read, but there were some pilgrim ghosts trying to put rusty screws where the sun don't shine---

Fantastic and educational land acknowledgment at the end; unexpected for the genre, but very much a great disclaimer for the topic and setting of the story.

Endlessly fond of Latrexa Nova's creativity.

There is just something that gets me about pilgrim ghosts having an absolutely raging orgy. Also, the entire premise of this story is true! Well, not the ghost-banging part, but the story of the giant rusty screw is which cracks me up!

Before you read this I’m gonna suggest you start with “Give into the Ghost,” part of Latrexa Nova’s “13 Kinks of Halloween” series.

I didn’t since it said it was book 1 in the “I gotcha Boo” series and it took me a sec to catch up.

That being said you can read this first, just know that the backstory here is our MFC Meg was banging a guy who was possessed by a Victorian Ghost, and that guy, Karl, is now her boyfriend.

——————
SEE BELOW FOR THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE RECAP AS SEEN ON UNFORTUNATE READS
——————

Ok, so we catch up with Meg and Karl after the ghost fucking incident and Karl invites Meg to spend thanksgiving with his family.

Meg and Karl start getting a little frisky on the plane, but Meg just can’t quite get over the cliff, even though the exhibitionist in her loves the fear of getting caught by the flight attendant.

They get to Karl’s family’s house where Karl tries again, annnnd they are interrupted by his brother calling that dinners ready.

Poor Meg.

Meg, though, is realizing that even though Karl is considerate and young and hot, she just can’t get over how much more she liked banging the ghost-possessed version of him.

After an awkward family dinner where Karla’s insists he show her the famous screw that saved the boat of their pilgrim ancestors, Meg and Karl go on a night stroll.

They get separated and Meg starts getting the tingly excited feeling that ghosts are nearby. She’s like, hell yeah and starts diddling herself. She feels the ghosts start to join in and is allllmost there when Karl busts in to save her. Womp.

The next night she awakens to find herself outside in the woods again, this time naked and being pleasured by the ghosts of pilgrims past. She’s being railed by a pilgrim dude when Karl turns up, but don’t worry this time she finally gets to finish.

Well, all the pilgrim ghosts see Karl and start pulling him to an altar because he is apparently the key to getting them to the afterlife instead of stuck in this limbo.

How you are? Well they have to “screw” him with the weird giant screw from dinner of course! Surprise!

Anywho, Meg is like uh yeah maybe don’t sodomize my new boyfriend so she calls her friend Priya to help her exorcise the ghosts.

On their way home, they finally discuss it and it turns out…both of them are actually into the ghost banging. It’s a match made in…uh…the astral plane?

They decide, well…let’s become ghost hunters!

You know how you read one of these books and think, dang I need more! Well you’re in luck because Meg and Karl have a whole series of ghost-hunting/fucking adventures!

Read at your own risk.

“I was laughing until I realized they were about to sodomize my boyfriend with a rusty, 400-year-old screw. He was clearly into a little sodomy—very exciting to find out, definitely filing that away for later, but I imagined he’d prefer a working ass when this was all done with.”
-Meg

“It’s not like I didn’t know what I was getting into with you. You did bring a ghost on the first date.”
-Karl

“You really think I came from being sodomized by some ghostly pilgrim because I don’t find the thought of ghost fucking super erotic?”
-Karl

After finishing this, some time was needed to process what happened. It has been 2 hours. What. The. Fuck? It started off with awkward, public acts on a plane, not in the bathroom if were thinking Mile High Club, to edging at his parents when she “just couldn’t wait to be sure his family was not around.” She just barged into their home and up to his childhood room all to be interrupted by his brother to be told dinner was ready. All the while as she missed her one night stand with a ghost? Then… Pilgrim beings wanting to use their paranormal sex toy to do what to Karl? A screw. They wanted to use an old, rusty screw on Karl. Coherently thoughts are not happening at the moment. What is going on?

NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

I’d say 3 stars was suffice. It wasn’t bad! It was interesting! Funny! I laughed during certain parts. The plane bit was kinda hot. But after that it dragged on for a bit before we got to the pilgrims 😂😂😭😭 what an interesting read!!!

I will not take further questions on my book tastes lately. I’m having a good time.

This one took us on a history lesson and who knew I’d be here for some historical smut…😂😂😂

I loved the characters in the first short, and I loved them even more now. The characters had depth, and I loved seeing how the events from the first book affected their relationship. Both Meg and Karl are trying their best (and succeeding) to navigate a relationship while trying to reconcile whatever the first ghost encounter uncovered in them.
Like the previous one, this has ghosts, most of which are really horny, and a weird sexual situation involving both our main characters. Only this one dials it up, and I'm absolutely here for it. And the nerdy references were top notch.
Can't wait for what's to come in Meg and Karl's story!

This was wildly educational. If all history was told this way I would definitely be into history. Heavy plot, good smut. Very cute also. Erotica writer and a cute golden retriever horny bf. Enjoyable read all around.

Pro Tip: I didn’t read this in order so I was a little confused. Go read Give In To The Ghost First.

Meg and Karl have just gone through something traumatic, what with Karl being exorcised of the ghost that was possessing him. Meg misses the ghost, because he had known just what she liked, and Karl? He’s a little too eager to please. But she’s trying to like him for him, and so she goes to his family’s house for Thanksgiving. Turns out the woods surrounding his family’s home are super haunted, and Meg can’t wait to let them get their hands on her.

Well. First of all, this is not the first book in this series. And since I didn’t know this, I was a bit confused about the prior events, but I was able to piece it together from what they talk about. Let’s start with Meg and her “I can’t stop thinking about ghost s3x” brain because dude. WHAT. And then there’s Karl and his family and their 400 year-old screw that held the mast of the ships that the pilgrims used to cross over to North America. Oh, and then there’s the pilgrim ghosts who want to cross over and, in order to do so, need to slam that rusty nail straight up Karl’s pooper. YEAH. What in the name of Casper is going on here? Did I enjoy it? Yes. Do I think I would've enjoyed it more had I read the first book first? I don’t know, maybe? It’s a ridiculous concept and I was highly entertained, so do with this information what you will.

Actual Rating: 3.5 stars

Continuing from the 13 Kinks of Halloween, Thanksgiving gets the Ms. Nova treatment when "Give in to the Ghost" protagonist Meg goes to visit her boyfriend Kyle's family for the American Thanksgiving celebration. They hadn't really discussed everything about the possession previously experienced, other than a quiet acknowledgement of mutual trauma. The flip side was a mutual explosion and enjoyment, which neither has brought up because of weirdness. Who would want to be possessed?

But now that weirdness has entered their lives, will it ever leave? And do they really want to show it the door ... or the bedroom?

When the chance comes up to wander in possibly haunted woods at night, they jump at the chance even though they know ghosts are real. And these turn out to be very real.

Love the character development from the previous short story and love the pieces of history.

Dislike the jump between chapter 8 and chapter 9 - complete disconnect in the story, though it keeps the erotic tension high and focused. As a short story, sometimes details fall by the wayside. Ms. Nova knows where to keep the focus in "Home for the Gobble Day" particular to the genre. I just wish the transition was smoother.

Still, a great continuation of the Winter Holidays erotic horror stories. Can't wait to see what happens for Christmas.

Turns out the pilgrims still suck even when they're dead.

This should absolutely not be read as a standalone. I was looking specifically for Thanksgiving themed smut so I skipped the first book, as this one says it can be read as a standalone. While I was mostly able to follow along, there are just too many references to the first book to enjoy this one in full without having read it.

Honestly, the parts where Meg and Karl are just banging each other were a hell of a lot more interesting than when the ghosts got involved.
It was a fun enough read, but I think Latrexa Nova has better books.

Welp… what do I say about this book? That’s a difficult question. I LOVE “weird”, unusual, slightly cringey books. I try to find one for every holiday and occasion. Since it’s almost Thanksgiving, I thought why not?

It’s so weird y’all. Like… really. The FMC (I can’t remember her name) has a “ghostly” kink. Pun intended. She travels to New England to celebrate Thanksgiving with her boyfriend’s family. They live next to a graveyard where some of the original inhabitants are buried (Indigenous and Colonial). The parents possess a giant antique screw that came over with the Europeans.

Let’s just say that the FMC and boyfriend are “introduced” to the ghostly neighbors in the middle of the night. The ghosts have the screw and they need it for a ritual. I’m sure you can guess what happens next.

If you’re looking for a book to read about Thanksgiving, this is one of them. Maybe watch the parade instead.

This is a continuation of Meg and Kyle's story from the Halloween series about moving on after a ghost haunting in Meg's new house. You can enjoy this story without having read the first book, however, it is much more fulfilling if you've read the first one as you can enjoy the ghosts more in this one knowing what happened previously. I really enjoyed the spelling test that was given in the book as that scene was steamy fun. The ending got a little tense with the ghosts and almost not making it out in time, but thankfully all ended up okay in the end. The part at the end that explained more the history was very insightful as well and I enjoyed learning that you do a lot of research into the history for your stories. I can't wait to read of more adventures from Meg and Kyle and their new business.

Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. Dang girl was a horny ghost magnet! Missing the darker edges Meg is hopeful visiting Karl's family was just the thing she needed to sparks the creative mind. Only this visit, between the history lesson from Dave and having a younger man should be keeping Meg on her toes. only now that the ghost is gone something is missing. Deciding Meg may just have to confess about the thrills and chills but will she loss her man. All because of the most prized family heirloom this gobble day.

A quick read sequel to “Give in to the Ghost”. Meg and Karl visit his family for Thanksgiving. His family have a long pilgrim history including some interesting artifacts and a cemetery out the back. Meg’s hidden desire for some more ghost play leads to another ghostly battle beside her boyfriend Karl after some hot action with the spirits.

Well, I Never Thought about Pilgrims like THAT Before…

Meg and Karl met at Halloween during some hairy ghostly encounters (‘Give In To The Ghost’). This time, it’s Thanksgiving, and they’ve attracted some new ghosts. I liked seeing that the relationship survived and is growing - there’s so sweet moments in there, but mostly just really hot ones. A quick, fun read for a holiday that doesn’t get much romance love.

🌶️ 1/ 3

Well… I needed to wash my eyes after reading this. Actually, I need holy water lol

Unfortunately, this was not as fun as Hallowpeen 😭 but hey, that airplane scene 👍🏼😉 also, I appreciated MMC’s awareness towards history.

Bottom line, FMC does NOT deserve MMC. It didn’t seem like she appreciated him at all, she was always looking for a ghost to fulfill (pun intended) her instead 😭 Karl, you deserve better—justice for him! #TeamKarl

This was a fun, steamy short story. Meg went to spend Thanksgiving with her boyfriend Kyle's family. She encounters some ghosts in the woods and it leads to some sexy time. An unexpected kink I've never heard of until now, but it was fun. 4 stars.

Weird beginning

I felt like this book started in the middle, or perhaps the second in the series where I was supposed to have some background knowledge already. I found myself skim reading this one.

You all already know how much I love Latrexa Nova lmao, BUT THIS WAS SO GOOD.
These are the characters from Give in to the Ghost except now it’s Thanksgiving time and they are visiting Karl’s family. She learns a little about their past and how they were connected to the original pilgrim settlers… and this 400 year old screw (I’m mentioning this for a reason, go read the novella to see why.)

Due For A Re-Read ~

Please read, “Give in to the Ghost” first. Quite a bit of this story is because of what happened in that story. I enjoyed reading this story, but I did feel as if I was missing something vital to the storyline. I found out about the other book after reading this book. So, I’ll read the other one, then reread this story. It was still very creative, and written so well, it was like I was watching was going on. That’s way cool.
