From Influencers to Prey: Exploring the Dark Thrills of Stream and Scream

Posted on by Letty Reads

Stream and Scream by Melissa McSherry and Dana LeeAnn

Stream and Scream is a slasher-like book; it follows Olivia, who is one of 15 influencer contestants. They signed up for a game of survival, and promised followers, fortune and viral glory if they win. They must survive the weekend and reach the safe zone while being hunted. The catch? The show is real, the hunter is real, and the screams they hear are real. Jaxen is the hunter, a military-trained one at that, and he likes hearing the screams. When he sees Liv, he instantly becomes obsessed and possessive; she is his. He will hunt her, and enjoy it, but he won’t kill her. The producers want her dead, but nothing comes between Jaxen and what he has laid claim to.

For the prey who loves the thrill of the hunt, because we both know you only run to get fucked harder.

Goldrage: The Epic Conclusion That Made Me Cry (And Want To Punch Lady Harrow!)

Posted on by Letty Reads

Goldrage by Aveline Knight

Releases September 13th 2025

Goldrage is book 3 in the Chrysophilist series by Aveline Knight. I have been so super fortunate to ARC read each one in the series. You know a book is good if I sign up for the ARCs for the other books in the series every time they are released!

This is a trilogy, so you must start with book one, which is Goldsin, then book two, which is Goldflame and then this one. They each follow on from one another.

At the end of book 2, Julian had become just like his father. He shoots Adrian and Aurelia, leaving Aurelia with his mother while he takes Adrian away. Obviously, Lady Harrow, being the evil bitch she is, wants to torture Aurelia, who is weak from blood loss. Thankfully, she gets saved by someone I did not expect! Aurelia doesn’t know if Adrian is alive, and Adrian believes Aurelia to be dead. They need to get through to Julian that Lady Harrow is the monster here. Maybe Julian is too far gone to listen to reason? How can Aurelia get into the Harrow home without being shot on sight? By telling them she is pregnant with the next Harrow heir, but whose is it? Julians or Adrians?

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.
