H. D. Carlton

Every Halloween, Satan's Affair will come to you.

We travel the country, offering terrifying haunted houses, thrilling rides and the tastiest food. And with every passing town, I cleanse this world, one execution at a time.

I hide within the walls, casting my judgement for those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls.

Once you've been chosen, there's no escaping my henchmen—they cater to my every desire.

You can run and you can hide, but it only excites me.

Come.

Take a walk through my dollhouse, where your screams will blend and your cute little pleas will go unanswered.

But I can't promise it'll be over quickly...

Maybe people with dark souls aren’t all bad. Just because they’re dark, that doesn’t mean they’re not redeemable. That’s doesn’t mean there isn’t good in there.

-i’m not a fan of haunting adeline, but everything i’ve heard about sibby’s character made me want to read her solo backstory

-i’m not a fan of haunting adeline, but everything i’ve heard about sibby’s character made me want to read her solo backstory

- traumatized woman who gets horny from killing shitty men, i love you

- the gory scene of a rapist getting brutally tortured/murdered was CRAZY like CRAZY CRAZIEST thing... but if i said that should happen to more of them…

- “not that all evil people are men, but the majority who come through my house happen to be” see she is logical 

- smut scenes with more than 3 people always have me feel like i’m doing calculus trying to figure out where everybody is but good for her

- sibby being giddy about having her first platonic friend who claims her and describing him like an older brother pls 

- i already knew the main plot twist that was revealed in the epilogue but man it was still great

- i love revenge fantasy stories so i ate this up and loved it. short and dark



First Hd carlton book I’ve read and certainly not the last! The ending does leave me with some questions but honestly a great short read! Not for the faint hearted!

I wasn’t sure if i was going to get through it in the beginning with how gruesome & raw it was but i ended up liking the book by the end!

This book is not for everyone, possibly not even me. The psychological abnormalities of the characters were overshadowed by the grotesqueness of the murder and sex scenes. The main character had an interesting back-story that led to her unfortunate mental state but I felt that wasn't explored enough. I will admit that I didn't see the twist coming and from a psychological standpoint, the story was fascinating. I just personally could have down without the almost unrealistic sex scenes - which thinking of it no, should have been a clue to the ending.

I love how this novella was a nice dark read full of gore, spice and horror. Some scenes were super hard to get through, specifically Sibby's past but it was a nice way to get back into the world of the cat and mouse duet through someone else's perspective. Sibby is such an interesting character and I'm glad I got to have a better look into her story. I felt like the first 100 pages went without plot and mainly consisted of straight gore and murder but it was definitely worth it and I'd recommend this to a seasoned thriller reader.

I love the character of Sibby and all the different layers, but I didn’t really feel like the spice had a place in this book amongst all the gore. I think I would’ve much preferred this novella if there wasn’t so many sex scenes with the Henchmen and just focused on sibbys past and story line. 

The twist at the end was a good way to tie everything together and I’m glad I read this after the Haunting Adeline series because otherwise I’m not sure I would’ve been so inclined to read those books

i loved i the characters of sibby is so good and her back story is interesting. In Loved the fact that at the end she found out everything was just her imagination. I didn’t expect that.

I enjoyed reading this book however I wasn't aware that there was going to be a plot twist and I'm still shook by it. Definitely,  only some people would be able to handle this read however I enjoyed this book.

There are books seemingly written for me and those that simply aren't. This falls under the latter category unfortunately.

I was bored out of my mind while being mildly disgusted during the first half of the book and got really annoyed with the style, to be completely honest. Something of child-like story telling while focusing on so much sexual stuff just doesn't sit right with me. I didn't mind the gore and probably wouldn't have minded the smut if it weren't for that writing style in this book. I do understand what was tried to be done here, I just ... nah. 

The plottwist does put some of the happenings into perspective - it doesn't save the rating as I kept expecting something like this to happen the second Zaddy appeared.

Some books are just not for me.

what the actual heck did i just read???????

Sven Test

This was an interesting beginning. It’s definitely super dark, and I’m still not sure what to think.

One thing's for sure: this should be read before reading the other 2 books in the series.

Tiffany

not for the soft stomach

This was not what I expected. It's very gorey, but very sexy as well. You feel sorry for Sibby as the story goes on, and the twist was not expected! A quick read before you start Haunting Adeline.

Amie ONeill

This did what it set out to do.
I wasn't bored and actually really enjoyed this.

That was .. interesting 🌝 

Tbh it was more explicit and violent than I expected it to be and several times I choked while reading. Since it’s the prequel to the series I actually wanted to read (cat and mouse duet) I didn’t care that the plot itself wasn’t that deep. 

If you’re looking for a distraction and escapism with a badass female mc, this is your book 😌

Interesting storyline but very messed up, abrupt ending! 3⭐️
