Posted on by Letty Reads

Little Author by SK Pryntz

Little Author is a dark romance novella that follows Elodie, who is an author. Elodie becomes obsessed with Roux Pattel, who has been locked away for life. Roux, also known as the Maestro, is a serial killer. Elodie took Roux’s story and twisted it into a dark, seductive work of fiction. She never imagined her muse would be free, but he is, and he is coming to end her story.

It had been years. Years since I’d touched a throat properly. Years since I’d felt that moment where life shuddered once, then finally gave in to my demand.

A Deep Dive into the Dark World of Myers by Zepphora

Posted on by Letty Reads

Myers by Zepphora

Myers is a dark, taboo retelling of Michael Myers from the popular and, in my personal opinion, amazing Halloween films. This book follows Damien King, a 12-year-old boy who lives with his stepsister Samantha after his mother passes away. Samantha babysits Trixie long term, in that she pretty much lives there full time. Trixie is 4 years old and gets ignored by Samantha, so Damien looks after her and protects her. On Halloween night, Damien takes Trixie trick or treating. What starts as a cute night of trick or treating ends with sixteen people dead and a 12 year old boy covered in blood holding a 4 year old child in his arms. Trixie gets taken away from Damien and he spends his time between prison and the psych hospital, until he escapes and makes his way back to Chippewa Falls to reclaim what is his and destroy all those who took her from him.

I try to remind myself that babies are like dogs. They love you as long as you’re the one feeding them.

Sinners Retreat Review: A Hilarious Serial Killer Romance

Posted on by Letty Reads

Sinners Retreat by Lauren Biel

I have read a few of Lauren Biel’s books; the first one I ever read was Captured, which is very dark! I still can’t look at mayo the same. Today, I have finished the first book in Lauren’s Slaycation series, Sinners Retreat.
Is it dark?
Well, they are serial killers; they are at a resort for a serial killer annual event where they get to play bowling using people’s heads, but other than that aspect, no, it’s not dark. It had me laughing out loud many times. It is a dark rom-com, and spoiler alert, I loved it!
