Hang For Me by Marla York

Rating: 4/5

Spice: 4/5

Plot: 4/5

Primary Genre: Horror Romance

Blurb: Trauma doesn’t go away just because you found love; it sticks in your blood like a parasite you’ll always have to live with.
I have desired her for years, always protecting her from afar, and stealing the voices of those who harmed us—silencing their cruel words forever.
Driven by jealousy, I tear down walls until I find her, our love a haunting fixation that consumes my thoughts.
When her façade cracks, I find my soul connected to someone just as unhinged as I.
Will we see past our deep-seated insecurities, or will we burn the world to the ground first with our obsessions?

Satan’s Affair by H.D. Carlton

Every Halloween, Satan’s Affair will come to you. We travel the country, offering terrifying haunted houses, thrilling rides and the tastiest food.

And with every passing town, I cleanse this world, one execution at a time.

I hide within the walls, casting my judgement for those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls. Once you’ve been chosen, there’s no escaping my henchmen–they cater to my every desire.

You can run and you can hide, but it only excites me.

Come. Take a walk through my dollhouse, where your screams will blend and your cute little pleas will go unanswered.

But I can’t promise it’ll be over quickly…

Savage Keepsakes by Marla York

Spice: 5/5

Plot: 4/5

Primary Genre: Horror Romance

Favorite Quote: “We’re not incomplete individuals searching for our other halves. We’re complete entities seeking the wild souls that resonate with ours”

Blurb: I’m not a good man. Never cared to be one.

My existence is only darkness and death. The world thinks I shouldn’t be this way, but I am who I am. Turning animals & humans into art is all I’ve ever known. Sending keepsakes of my victims ignites a fire within me, knowing I’m hurting families fuels my passion to continue.
I’ve never wanted to be anyone’s hero until Lucy.
Being in the shadows of her life could never be enough. The pure love that pours from her is something I couldn’t have prepared myself for.
She’s mine and always will be, even if she doesn’t know it yet.
