Please check the trigger warnings before reading!

Carving for Cara was a dark and spicy Halloween novella.

I loved the dual pov and getting to experience the plot from both perspectives. MMC Rhett wasn’t morally grey, he was fully unhinged. Loved the friendship between Cara & Sloan.

Need to know what happens after that ending. The only negative thing about the book was that it was so short.

This was fun. I do have to say this is 128 pages and nothing spicy happened until page 90. The tension was fun though. This is a dark read so if you don’t like dark romance don’t read this. I enjoyed this, but I wish there was a little more spice and I didn’t like how it ended. The writing was good for the most part. This is a perfect Halloween read.

You know growing up in a town that had a lot of corn fields...I never once thought they seemed anything other than boring and creepy 🤭

We get instant obsession, stalking, touch her and die, and a lot of violence packed into a fun quick novella. Really hoping we end up getting a full length novel to explore more of our leading mans backstory because it sounds pretty interesting.

Really wish I would have recorded my hubbys facial expressions as I told him everything that happens in this book 🤣

A man and woman lock eyes in a cafe. This immediately has him obsessing over her, stalking her, and

killing for her.

 
This novella is short and spicy, and has so many TWs. Not sure what I was expecting, other than what the dedication mentioned. Very short, not deep, and definitely stalker-creepy-instalust. You might enjoy it, or it might make you roll your eyes at how corny (💀) it is.

Wow this book is perfect for Halloween time and though it is a short read it spicy didn't come right away. There was a build up to the spice. I would give it 4/5 on the spice scale because what spice you get is hot as hell and kink as well. I would love more on this couple and how this is all going  to work out. This is forsure in my top 5 halloween reads.
