Theme Halloween Spooky
Hollows Grove
2022
Lee Jacquot
My best friend’s brother is the most infuriating person to walk this planet. Since the day I met him, he’s made it his mission in life to make mine hell. If he’s not hiding behind the nearest dark corner, he's plotting his next trick. That’s Dorian Davis, and nothing about him has changed in the two decades that I’ve known him. I should be used to it by now. Immune to his antics. I even considered myself prepared when his sister coerced us into helping her host a Halloween party for her company. I wasn’t. Turns out, Dorian didn’t want to scare me. He wanted to hear me scream. To hear me beg. He wanted to show me that everything I thought I knew was wrong, and that everything I thought I wanted wasn’t enough. Maybe if I weren’t wearing a maid outfit, playing a real\-life murder mystery game, and running through a hedge maze for my life, I’d appreciate the sentiment. But I’m currently doing all of those things, and if he catches me, I don’t think I’ll survive. Because as he said... this isn’t a game anymore.
Wicked Little Sins
The Four Nightmares of Castle Pointe Book One
A.R. Breck
Welcome to Castle Pointe, where the dead never sleep. What does it feel like to kiss death? Being thrust into a town so sinister, corrupted by such malevolence, was never my intent. It was foolish to play with the dead, but so was falling for my cruel, wicked stepbrother. The fact he looked like a God didn’t matter, because I’m almost positive he was my very own devil. His games were deadly, and he terrorized me at every turn. Together we were toxic, but nothing could have stopped me from becoming captivated by his darkness. It may have been thoughtless to mess around with witchcraft, because I didn’t realize death would cling to me at every turn. I wouldn’t be able to escape it, no matter how desperately I tried. I should have listened when they told me, The dead never sleep in Castle Pointe. Warning: Wicked Little Sins contains information that may be sensitive or triggering to some readers.

Step Devil
2022
Aiden Pierce
There’s something off with my new stepbrother…something monstrous. When my mom up and marries a man she doesn’t know, she uproots us from our home in upstate New York to live in the tiny, backwoods town of Bishop, buried deep in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. There’s something terribly wrong with this place. But it’s not the creepy townsfolk that frighten me, or even my new stepdad—who definitely runs some kind of cult. The real monster is Titus Leeds…my new stepbrother. There’s a part of him that wants me to leave this place, to protect me. But there’s a darker side of him that wants me to stay . A creature lurks in the forest, and it hungers for my soul. Maybe the only way to keep my soul safe is to let Titus Leeds claim it first. Step Devil is a plot-light stepbrother demon romance novella that features dark themes such as violence, gore, bullying, dubious consent, explicit sexual situations and murder.
Wickedly Sweet
2022
Steph Macca
After my boyfriend has a not-so-little accident with his new female best friend, I jump at the opportunity to take a small vacation with my brother to Salem for Halloween. He's annoyed, but his two best friends? Not so much. Halloween and Salem speak to my soul. There's something about the thrill of being scared, the adrenaline that makes your heart pound while you fight your mind to stay in control. Then, once it's all over, the rush of wanting to do it again. I'm drawn to horror and fear. Scary movies? Check. Deep, dark fantasies? Check. Being chased through the Halloween Witch Hunt by two shirtless, neon skull mask wearing men covered in blood? Check. Maybe I'm sick and twisted. But there's a reason villains are often painted as hot, seductive men. It's because women like me exist. And we want to scream in more ways than one.
Forbidden Harvest
2024
Selena Winters
Halloween. My eighteenth birthday. The night my world shattered and reformed into something beautifully grotesque.
I was supposed to be celebrating, lost in a whirlwind of candy and costumes. Instead, I found myself trapped in a nightmare—bound and blindfolded, at the mercy of a masked stranger. His touch ignited every dark fantasy I’d buried, but instead of fear, I craved more. Every moment blurred the line between pain and pleasure, terror and desire. And then, the mask fell—the revelation that turned my blood cold.
It was Jared. My stepbrother.
In that instant, the twisted game we played became our reality. What started as captivity grew into something far more sinister. We’re bound by obsession, tethered by the secrets that chain us together. Now, we’re fugitives, running from a world that will never understand the darkness we share. Our love is a haunting symphony of taboo and terror, where boundaries aren’t just crossed—they’re obliterated. Are you brave enough to peer behind the mask and witness the depths of our depravity?
Forbidden Harvest is a dark taboo romance set at Halloween with heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. A full list of the warnings will be found on my website. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.
