Nova is an autobuy author for me now so i already knew i was going to love this one. 👏🏻 AND I DID.

this was dark, bloody, fast paced, and so hot. i loved Kade, Kross, and Aeri. Their different energies and personalities all clicked so well and made it a fun read. the banter was so good too and i just never knew what was going to happen next. one minute i was giggling and the next i was screaming “omg” in my head. and that ending? hello!!! i need more ASAP. 🔥

i can always count on Nova to give me a good read. and dare i say this might have pulled me out of my reading slump? 👀 for all my dark romance girlies, this is perfect quick read for valentine’s day 💋

This was a great Valentine’s Day novella for dark romance readers. Twin multiple deleters and one snarky, unhinged FMC? Count me in. This book was sexy, hilarious, and totally unhinged.

ARC review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kiss and Kill is chaotic, glitter-soaked, and deliciously dangerous; like dancing in a nightclub while knowing the monsters are watching you and secretly hoping they are.

Aeri is heartbreak, sparkle, and reckless curiosity wrapped into one girl, and honestly? She’s a mood. Going to the Cupid’s Killhouse rave to forget her pain and ending up the obsession of masked twin predators is the kind of dark romance chaos I live for. Kross and Kade are unhinged in the best way possessive, playful, and terrifying, yet completely captivated by Aeri’s chaos and light.

The tension between “kiss her” and “kill for her” is chef’s kiss. It’s twisted, morally questionable, and dripping with that seductive predator/prey energy that dark romance readers crave. Aeri’s internal conflict being both scared and dangerously intrigued makes the story feel intoxicating and uncomfortably addictive.

The rave setting adds such a fun, neon-lit madness to the story, with bass, blades, and bad decisions blending into a fever-dream atmosphere. It feels like a slasher thriller collided with a dark romance fantasy, and somehow it works beautifully.

If you love masked men, twin villains, obsessive MMCs, morally gray chaos, and FMCs who flirt with danger instead of running from it, Kiss and Kill will absolutely scratch that itch. It’s wild, spicy, and a little feral in the best possible way.

Basically: run, glitter girl but not too fast. 🖤

Nova does it again 👏🏻
What a fantastic read this was. This was a novella that was full of alcohol, dancing, blood and obsession. I absolutely devoured this and recommend this to all my spicy dark romance readers!

Aeri is looking to let her hair down after leaving her cheating boyfriend. What better way than by heading to a rave, drinking, dancing and meeting two serial killers in an alley way.

Kross & Kade were just looking for another victim to kill when they bump into Aeri, a girl who laughs in the face of danger and encourages them to chase her.

Arc review:

My little Valentine….🖤❣️
✨Please read trigger warnings✨

What an amazing book to start off love season. This book has everything my little heart desires from being chased to raving and a badass final girl…. And who doesn’t love hot twins covered in tattoos? Even if they are serial killers.

This book is filled with the love of chasing and what happens when you’re caught. Aeri is our FMC and she just broke up with her cheating boyfriend Mark. Valentine’s is here and she doesn’t want to spend it moping around her place. So she decides to get dressed up, looking fine as hell and go to the rave he’s at to show him what he’s missing…. Little did she know she would run into serial killers doing the deed in the back alley. And what does she do???? Laughs in their faces and decides to run and see what happens when she gets caught.

This is such a good little cat and mouse game that is sprinkled with a bit of murder and knife play.

That ending?!?!! I can’t wait to see what Kross, Kade, and our final girl Aeri has coming 🖤

nova just never misses 👏🏼

this book is fast paced, bloody, unhinged, and so fun i was giggling at every page.

the banter between these characters and all of their different personalities was so much fun, never knowing what was going to come out of their mouths next.

aeri is a little spitfire and i’m absolutely in love with her. kade and kross are exactly what she needed after all the things she went through and all of them being together is definitely going to cause some chaos that i cannot wait to see more of.

if you’re looking for a quick spicy read that will pull you right out of a reading slump, i highly recommend this and any other book by nova kane!

thank you so much for the arc copy!🖤

4.5 stars rounded up to 5 for GR ⭐️

This beauty was dark, fast paced and ridiculously addictive!!! This spicy Valentine’s novella had me hooked from the moment it dropped me into the Cupid’s Killhouse rave and it never let up.

Aeri is THAT girl!! Bold, fearless and completely unfazed by danger. Watching her go toe to toe with the masked twins was everything. The tension, the obsession, the cat and mouse energy had me glued to the pages and eating up every second.

Kross and Kade were insanely hot, unhinged and feral in the best way!! The danger, the chemistry, the chaos all hit perfectly and made this such a fun and addictive read.

If you love dark romance with morally black MMCs, masked menaces, obsession and high tension vibes, you are going to devour this. Perfect Valentine’s Day spice!

Thank you so much for the early ARC read ✨ Nova Kane is always an auto recommend for me!

Twin valentine serial killers that are a walking red flag? Yah sign me up!

Who wouldn’t want to be chased by two men on the prowl looking for their next kill?

Aeri clearly wants these men, and after a breakup I don’t blame her! Let these two have their way and show her what a good time really is.

Quotes

“Apparently my brain has decided red flags are fucking foreplay.”

“Tell me again how I don’t know you want this. I fucking love hearing you lie, little valentine.”

Easily one of my favorite novellas ever. This was filled with minor plot that kept me captivated. Girlfriends of the FMC that are ride or die, an absolute favorite of mine. Hot and psychotic MMC X2 🥵🥵🥵, and a bad ass FMC who couldn’t give more than 2 sh!ts about what anyone else thinks.

Def will be recommending this to lovers of why choose and dark romance. Also, a Valentine’s Day novella lover

Ohhh this story is **dark, filthy-fun, and dangerously seductive** 🖤🔥

Picture this: Valentine’s Day. A warehouse rave pulsing with music, sweat, and sin. Enter the **Cupid Killer**—or so the media thinks. What they *don’t* know? There are **two** masked twins stalking the night, sharp, synchronized, and deadly. And honestly? The mystery just makes it hotter.

Our FMC is fresh out of patience and fresh out of f*cks to give after dumping her cheating, gaslighting ex, Mark (good riddance). She’s done being blamed, done being hurt, and absolutely ready to indulge. So when she accidentally stumbles upon the twins in the middle of a kill, you’d expect fear… panic… trauma.

Nope.

She’s turned on.

Instead of running for her life, she turns it into a **game**—smiling, teasing, running just enough to make them chase. The cat-and-mouse energy? Unreal. The tension? Thick enough to choke on. The chemistry crackles with every look, every step, every brush of danger.

And let me tell you—the spicy scenes? **On. Fire.** Masked menace, power play, dark desire all wrapped in neon lights and pounding bass. It’s filthy, it’s thrilling, and it knows *exactly* what it’s doing.

It all unfolds over one wild, unhinged night, and just when you think you’ve caught your breath—boom. Cliffhanger. The good kind. The “I will absolutely be back for more” kind.

If you like your romance dark, your villains irresistible, and your spice served with a blade-sharp edge… yeah. This one delivers. 💘🔪🔥

What. A. Fucking. Ride.

Aeri is fresh out of a shitty relationship. She just wants to forget everything and let go for a night with her friends at Cupids Killhouse rave. You know, wear something sexy to make said ex jealous and just let loose. You will recognize a few other characters in the rave as well!

Meanwhile Kade & Kross are twin brothers, who take up serial killing as a pastime. Which is exactly what they happen to be doing when Aeri stumbles upon them. But instead of being terrified and running away, the sight of them ignites something in her that spurs on their little game of cat & mouse.

Kade is sick of everyone’s shit.
Kross is stirring shit 🤣
Aeri is just floating amidst it all living her best LOL

I loved this, and Kade is mine. He’s been claimed. 🫡🤣

Aeri goes to a rave, takes a substance, and stumbles upon the cupid killers doing their thang and she just laughs. At first, they have to catch her because she caught them, but that laugh changed the game. It's not a game of survival anymore... Now it is a game of possession.

I am completely feral for Kade and Kross. The whole possessive/obsessive behavior, black cat and psychotic golden retriever is a pure lust injection. The way Aeri just said F it, I am here for it was so much fun and the ending was pure gold! I can't wait to see more of them.

This book! 🫠🔥 I’m not sure if I want Aeri, Kade or Kross to ruin me first or all of them together lol

Amazing short and fast paced Valentine’s Day novella with twin serial killers in a rave setting. Nova’s writing always hooks me right from the first pages and her books are something I devour in one sitting. Dark and twisted, just amazing.

Aeri was a great FMC, definitely not someone who needs saving, but someone who knows what she wants and even though she wasn’t a killer like the twins, I would say she was equally as twisted, in a good way. Loved how different the twins were from each other, Kade being the controlled one while Kross was more reckless, and both of course hot af 🔥

Loved seeing Noir from Overdose (another man who could do anything to me and I would just thank him lol 🫠)


“Is this the part where I scream? Because that feels like a lot of effort.”
“See? Teamwork. You babysit, and I have fun.”
“To a guy like me? This little cat-and-mouse thing we’re doing? That’s flirting, baby.”
“Tell me again how I don’t know you want this. I fucking love hearing you lie, little valentine.”
“She understands what this is and she doesn’t fucking run from it. Instead, she leans into it. She fucking craves it.”


I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.

🇬🇧 This book was sexy as hell. It promised, and it delivered.

Kross and Kane are absolutely unhinged, and Aeri? That woman left me wanting more. I love a good baddie, and she is one in every possible way. Powerful, confident, and impossible to ignore.

And that “to be continued?” Please. Give us more.

Dark, unhinged, sexy, and honestly the perfect Valentine’s read if you like your romance with sharp edges.

PS: The only reason this didn’t get five stars is because I felt there was a bit too much repetition of a specific expression (“bad decisions”). That said, the overall experience was still completely worth it.

I received and arc but the option is totally mine!


🇵🇹Este livro foi sexy como tudo. Prometeu e entregou.

O Kross e o Kane são completamente descontrolados, e a Aeri? Aquela mulher deixou-me a querer mais. Eu adoro uma boa baddie, e ela é uma em todos os sentidos. Forte, confiante e impossível de ignorar.

E aquele “to be continued?” Por favor. Precisamos de mais.

Dark, unhinged, sexy, e definitivamente uma leitura incrível para o Dia dos Namorados, para quem gosta de romances com arestas e … sem limites?

PS: A única razão pela qual não levou cinco estrelas foi porque senti alguma repetição numa expressão específica (“bad decisions”). Ainda assim, a experiência valeu totalmente a pena.

I am literally feral! If you need a short, dark, dirty af, fast paced smutty valentine's day novella about two walking red flag serial k!ller twin brothers, a rave and an unhinged fmc, this is it! I loved everything about Kross, Kade & Aeri- they have me in a chokehold.

Kiss & Kill was super fun, unhinged, bloody & smutty and also hilarious. The banter between everyone in this but especially between the two brothers and Aeri was top tier!

Eventhough this was a short read, the descriptions of everything made it feel like I was actually in the rave and the story with them, and I mean- I would love to be in Aeri's place; I don't know what that says about me but I'd love to be chased by them 🤣🚩

I am in love with Aeri- you feel bad for her due to what she went through but holy does she have the night of her life once she stumbles upon Kross and Kade, she is my spirit animal I swear- she doesn't care about what anyone thinks.
Kross and Kade- these two men have my heart. They were hilarious, unhinged in the best ways, and so so hot. The way they protect Aeri and claim her too, had me fanning myself.

I can't wait to see what happens next because that ending was intense and action filled but has me so excited to see where these 3 end up! I need more of them!

Thank you so much for the arc!

Aeri

It’s time for her villain era to begin. Going out in a red two piece that has teardrop crystals hanging off it, looking like it’s dripping blood. With a goal of forgetting her cheating ex. She knew it was a possibility of running into the Cupid killer and becoming the next victim. But for her that thought sent adrenaline through her veins and heat between her thighs.

“Apparently my brain has decided red flags are f*cking foreplay.”

Kross and Kade
They are known as Cupid killer. The media thinks there is only one but luckily for Aeri there is two of them. Smoking hot twins covered in tattoos and desire. They went after her in order to get rid of the witness to their crime. She was supposed to be a means to an end but instead she became their endgame.

I absolutely love these three. They all love the chase. I loved watch Aeri embrace her newly single bad B era. Nova Kane is a queen at writing a Rave setting. The chaos this book delivered and that ending!

“Careful, you keep flirting like that, and I might forget I’m supposed to be the scary one here.”

I love the cameo and getting a glimpse of those characters. I won’t spoil who they are you will have to read it and find out.

This novella was actually one of the most fun, unhinged, comical, high energy books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The perfect balance of unhinged to smut ❤️‍🔥 It was exceptional and what a perfect Valentine’s day treat!!

I cannot wait for Aeri, Kross and Kade’s story to continue! This trio are the best hit of crazy sexual energy that I never knew I needed! Aeri is reminiscent of me in my 20s, hooked on bad boys and bad decisions. The level of obsession and touch her and die energy Kross and Kade have for Aeri after meeting her feels like they were crafted by the gods for each other. Truly a match made in Hell.

This is the type of story that has you so intensely hooked and invested in the main characters that you won’t be able to put it down. The plot is simple, girls night out to a rave to get over a shitty ex intersects with two serial killers doing their thing. But Aeri is like no final girl they ever imagined and they both cannot do anything but want to follow her and her perfect smug little smirk inviting them to play a game.

Nova Kane, you’re a genius. How you can pack so much punch into so few pages and have me wanting more!! I would absolutely recommend this novella to anyone who loves unhinged plus Valentine’s Day 💘

ARC REVIEW

This is a stabby valentine novella. It was fun, hot, bloody and wicked fun.
A trope I didn’t know I needed
RAVE SETTINGS
Why the heck was that so good 🥵

We’ve got our girl Aeri that’s just broken up with her boyfriend she wants to show herself off with her friends on a night out and she is welcoming trouble

Then we have the twins. Kross & Kade. The masked serial unalivers that the media is calling the Cupid killer. I must admit, the thought of their masks actually did kinda scare me hahahaha.
Kross had me laughing whilst Kade was the sexy brooding twin.
Aeri stumbles across them 🔪 and that’s when they notice her… her reactions to them unlike what they see on their kills… interest piqued, they follow to see if she really isn’t like other girls.

And they are correct, Aeri was unleashing all of her freak flags and walking to danger with a big flag that said IM HERE with zero f*cks about any repercussions. I loved her sass and the absolute set of balls she had. Plus she’s hot af

A CLIFFHANGER?! SORRYYYYY
Ima need to see where they go after the club asap

Tropes
🔪 serial unalivers
❤️ rave setting
🔪 masked MMC
❤️ why choose
🔪 feral FMC

Thank you Nova for trusting me with this arc. I had one HECK of a time

(ARC Read)

This book did not disappoint.
Wow. Fucking hell. This one slapped.

Kiss & Kill is everything I want from a dark romance erotic horror. Twisted, obsessive, bloody and unapologetically feral. The cat and mouse tension is relentless, the obsession is dialled all the way up and the story fully commits to its neon soaked chaos without pulling punches.

Aeri, Kade and Kross absolutely wrecked me and I need more of their story immediately. The dynamic is unhinged in the best way and the atmosphere is thick with danger and desire from start to finish.

The spice is plentiful and hits hard, sitting at a solid 4🌶️, but it never overshadows the plot. The horror and romance elements blend seamlessly, creating something addictive rather than gratuitous.

Full disclosure: I don’t read trigger warnings. I have none and I go in emotionally unprotected every time. This book fed that part of my soul perfectly and I regret nothing.

If you love dark romance that crosses into erotic horror with obsession, possession and morally feral characters, this is chef’s kiss perfection.

⭐ 4.75/5 stars | 🌶️ 4/5 spice

Kiss & Kill was fast, brutal, and ridiculously addictive. This novella wastes absolutely no time throwing you straight into the chaos — masked menace, obsession, blood-soaked tension, and a heroine who is just as unhinged as the men hunting her.

Aeri is the kind of FMC I love most: sharp, reckless, and completely unwilling to crumble. She doesn’t freeze or beg — she smiles back at the darkness, leans into the danger, and somehow makes the entire situation even more intense. Watching her match the energy was honestly the best part of the book.

Kross and Kade are pure morally black obsession. Twin serial killers with completely different vibes — one chaotic and playful, the other cold and controlled — and the cat-and-mouse tension between all of them was insane. The spice is scorching, the atmosphere is gritty and violent, and the whole story feels like a Valentine’s rave drenched in danger.

If you enjoy dark romance thrillers with predator/prey dynamics, chase tension, and a FMC who isn’t afraid of the monsters… this one is absolutely worth the ride.

⚠️ Please check content warnings — this book does not play nice.

Kiss & Kill by Nova Kane delivers exactly the kind of rollercoaster I love — full of danger, obsession, and sizzling tension. The premise is wild and unforgettable: Aeri heads to the Cupid’s Killhouse rave to bury her heartbreak and instead finds herself the target of two masked killers who are equally captivated and terrifying. The way Kane blends the thrill of the hunt with raw, magnetic chemistry kept me glued to the pages.

The pacing is relentless in all the right ways — the nightclub setting and pulse-pounding confrontations make this feel like a visceral, nightclub nightmare where every beat heightens the suspense. Kane doesn’t shy away from letting the danger feel dangerous, and I loved how that threat underscored the tension between Aeri and her unexpected pursuers.

What really stood out for me was the dynamic between fear and attraction. Aeri isn’t just a damsel in distress — she’s smart and bold, which makes her interactions with the twins layered and unpredictable. The chemistry was intense and addictive, and although some elements leaned darker than I expected, it worked within the vibe of the story

This is the PERFECT dark romance/serial k🔪ller Valentine’s Day novella. Where are my dark romance girlies who love an FMC that’s drawn to danger and fully obsessed with it? Because this is your book.

Let me set the scene: it’s Valentine’s Day. You’re at an illegal warehouse rager named after a serial killer, making wildly irresponsible decisions. Enter two men in heart-eye masks, danger rolling off them in heavy, intoxicating waves.

The tension? Immediate.
The obsession? Delicious.
The vibes? Unhinged in the best way.

This book is fast, filthy, and hot 🥵! No filler, no dragging, just straight chaos, chemistry, and craving. It gave me exactly what I wanted from a dark Valentine’s read and then dipped before overstaying its welcome.

My favorite quote is below: “Let me hear you, little Valentine. Show me what you sound like when this Cupid hits his fucking mark.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you love danger, obsession, morally questionable decisions, and a quick hit of dark romance that leaves you feral… run, don’t walk.

this was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I’m hooked and I already need more. this book was so amazing. I loved every single second of it. I binged it in 4 hours. devoured it like it was my last meal and didn’t leave any crumbs. nova did it again, her work never stops failing me I am obsessed with every single thing she writes and every world she creates. kade, kross & aeri they are so beautifully written I was just so obsessed with them. I need so much more from these three. I love this world and I’m already begging to return. thank you so much for the arc.

****ARC REVIEW****



Hehehehehehehehe. This was so good!!! I was literally giggling my way through this book, completely entranced by everything happening on the page. A power-packed 126 pages with two serial killers on the loose in a small town, leaving victims with carvings? Major red flag… except these **TWIN** serial killers are anything but. 🥵🥵🥵

Aeri is a fierce, outspoken, zero-fucks-given FMC. She says exactly what’s on her mind, does whatever she wants, and catches the eyes of these serial killers. Fearless doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Kross & Kade are our unhinged twin serial killers who truly do not care. They’ll go after whoever they want, as it’s all about the chase. Kross is more open and playful, while Kade is quiet, observant, and methodical… but both are equally drawn to Aeri.

This was such a fun, wild ride. The chemistry between the three of them was downright delicious. I honestly needed way more of their chaotic, unhinged behavior—and I would happily read it. 😈📖

I had the time of my life reading this book!

And man do I love twins.

Aeri is determined to have a good time after getting out of a bad relationship when she stumbles upon Kross and Kade doing something that would make anyone 💩, ☠️, & 🤮. But Aeri? Oh she practically jumps head first into their game 🤣

Kross and Kade balance each other out. Kade isn’t as impulsive as Kross and Kross lives for chaotic.

𝑹𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒅, 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒘…

All three of their personalities mesh together so well. The banter is amazing too, Aeri is snarky and I loved it 🤣

The ending?? Yeah.. I’m gonna need the next book asap I’ve got to know what happens next!!

Well, that’s one way to get revenge on an ex….. ₳ Ɽ₳VɆ ₣ɄⱠⱠ Ø₣ ₭₦łVɆ₴ ₳₦Đ ฿₳Đ ĐɆ₵ł₴łØ₦₴

Kiss & Kill is a fun, addictive, dark erotic Valentine themed novella – 4.5 stars!

Kross & Kade are walking red flags and Aeri can’t help but be drawn to them. Aeri has a no fucks given, nonchalance attitude to danger and she is in the mood to tease two serial killers. The entire time I was reading, I was cheering Aeri on because she is bold as fuck – Kross & Kade truly met their match, or rather their bloody little valentine.

The story is fast paced; the tension and cat & mouse energy is palpable. Kross is the fun twin whilst Kade is the moody one – but I was feral for them both, and make no mistake, they’re equally as unhinged. The bathroom scene?? O.M.G. The chemistry and spice between the three was absolutely delicious!

If you are wanting a short spicy read for Valentine’s Day with unhinged MMCs – look no further, Kiss & Kill is the perfect fix!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to ARC read!

This is one rave they will not forget. Aeri is someone who is taking her power back and finally not giving a flying monkey who cares how she does it!! You go girl!! Flaunt that sexy self of yours and dont let anyone k!nk shame you. She set out with a goal and manifested what she wanted, and got surprised when 1 turned into 2. 🤣 why choose when you can have both. But Kross and Kade aren't just anyone. The cupid serial unaliver thats been carving up the town. Mr Heart Eyes, with wings instead of horns, turns out 2 is better than 1, the yin and yang, the calm and the chaos. Yes thats right twins!! 2 tall, tattooed sexy as hell masked psychos!! All who end up at Cupid's Killhouse warehouse rave!! Perfect name and of course asking for trouble! But is Aeri their Final girl or does she meet the same end all the rest do? She not your normal girl but a serial unaliver has urges... I will say though her ex gets a taste of his own medicine! 🤣🤣 I loved this book and ive read it twice already. You should read it and see who the real Final Girl is!!!

Where can get me some twin serial killers in masks, like seriously yes please.

Though on a serious note Nova Kane has delivered yet another fantastic story that hits all our sick twisted minds in time for Valentines day.

The story hinges around Aeri who is getting over a past heartbreak and what better way to do it than at Cupid’s Killhouse rave, and in doing so Aeri is letting her hair down and is ready to party in all her glitter. Aeri is starting to learn new things about herself a darker side that has always been dormant but comes a live when she stumbles upon the two masked serial killers of Kross and Kade. Where most run in fear she runs in anticipation of what is to come. She craves what she knows they can offer her and craves what she doesnt know she needs and wants.

This story gives you everything that you know Nova can deliver on and more. The rave setting adds as chaotic, fun and lost inhibitions setting against the back drop of a killing. It brings in twists with the morally grey, obsessive induced twins, to blades and chaotic fun.
