What is there not to love? Broody serial killer and a psycho cinnamon role wrapped in two delicious packages…check, masked men ravishing the FMC…check, mystery and spooky vibes…check. This is an amazing Halloween read that leaves you begging for more!

It wasn’t bad, I just wasn’t the right audience I guess.

A.J. Merlin has become an insta buy for me. I love the characters, the plots, and the spice, and this wasn't an exception. I only wish I hadn't read it so fast so I could have enjoyed it longer.

How is this my first read by AJ?! I need more of this author’s writing ASAP. I was obsessed with everything about this book.

Our heroine, Bailey was amazing. I had so many similarities to her and I felt like I was able to connect with her more.

Phoenix was a really intriguing character. I found myself constantly needing to know more about him. Seeing his progression with Bailey and how much he truly did care for her had my heart palpitating.

Lastly, Rory. I love this man so freaking much. Wow, he was honestly everything and I will for sure be thinking about him for awhile. He was very possessive of both Bailey and Phoenix and honestly, we love to see it.
