OMG, I am OBSESSED with A La Folie!! Nova Kane seriously knows how to reel you in from the first page and never let go. The chemistry between the characters is insane! I absolutely loved the dynamic between the brooding, intense male lead and the fierce, no-nonsense heroine. Their banter was everything, and the slow burn tension had me screaming (in the best way possible)! The story is dark and twisted in all the right ways, keeping me on edge the whole time. I couldn’t put it down. If you’re in ...more

Lux & Indie are a power couple 👏🏾 From the moment they laid eyes on one another, they knew. They knew their demons were made for one another! I need so much more 😮‍💨❤️ Circus where your deepest depravity comes true? sign me up.

I have been anxiously waiting for this book and while it did NOT disappoint, I was honestly expecting it to be much darker than it was. With that being said, I want to be clear, there are DARK THEMES and MANY TRIGGERS throughout the entirety of this book. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Lux has a very traumatic background and has a hard time connecting with anyone except his “cirkies” and even them, he doesn’t truly connect with rather- feel he saves and owns. Indie also comes from a traumatic past, losin ...more

What an outstanding debut novel from this author! I was hooked from the very first line, I could not put this down. Lux is insane, the circus is insane. I mean what was going on? I got silent hill depraved sex filled circus vibes. Indie gets dragged by her friends to go to a internet famous traveling sex circus that caters to the most kinky people. There she meets Lux, who never touches any of the customers, that's until Indie shows up. He's immediately drawn to her. He has such a tragic past, m ...more

This is an Erotic Horror Romance, ⚠️ please read the TW list before reading, it's not for the faint of heart If you're not into dark romance it may not be for you. I love Lux so much that I feel like I know him, he’s a man after my heart 😂.This novella is dark and disturbing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was brief, and I would have liked to read more of it. Indie is a fiery individual who never backs down from a challenge, while Lux enjoys pushing her to show her that they are not so differe ...more

"Welcome to the Late Night Circus, where you can be a freak on Purpose..." - Circus Psycho, Diggy Graves

LOVED this book - MMC is obsessive and possessive from the second he lays his eyes on her... His dark and depraved circus, tempting even the most innocent to embrace their dark side

I seriously wish this was longer, I'd love a second book detailing their depraved HEA with the circus, maybe her taking over for Dolly?

So good - Highly recommend for your spooky season reads! ...more

So good!!

I don't know what took me so long to read this book but now that I've finished I want to read it again! This book is crazy and messed up and brutal but it will take hold of you from page one. If you love psycho carnies with a Shady past this book is definitely for you. Just don't forget to watch out for those triggers. ...more

This was a crazy fun spicy Circus. Grab your popcorn & cotton candy and play some Circus music in the background with clown masks as fun props and this book will do the rest. I loved the backstories and main characters. I felt like I was looking around me at different things and sights to see. Like super fast Rollercoaster up hill down hill and upside down. Such a fun ride so happy I read this during Autumn and close to Halloween.

4/5 Characters Development
4/5 Spicy
4/5 Overall

This book was such a wild ride 😅❤️‍🔥

I absolutely love the backdrop of Cirque Du Désir 🎪🤡
It is a circus filled with a bunch of kinky sexual performances and the Ringmaster is our morally pitch black MMC! Luc has had a traumatic past and hasn’t found anyone that he is drawn to until Indie shows up to the cirque one night! Our FMC, Indie, also comes from a traumatic past and is fascinated by the cirque but mostly to the mysterious Lux ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This book was fast paced, dark as h3ll🖤, and such ...more

Childhood trauma. Physical scars as well as psychological. Circus. Unhinged. Dark. Death. Destruction. Sex. Escapism. Kink.

Everything you could possible want in an erotic horror.

Check the trigger warnings.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Good short hot story. Loved how it all came together and though it was only 200 pages it was a great spicy dark quick read.

Considering, a horror themed circus just blew through my town, this book has me questioning if there was a scrumptious Lux in its presence. Loved this dark read from start to finish.
