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.

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.

Mixed feelings on this one. There was too many plot holes that character actions didn’t make sense. The mmc’s backstory was useless and felt unnecessary. The spice was interesting though and certainly seasonal. The ending wasn’t really an ending though as you don’t really figure out how the fmc deals with the aftermath of what happened
