“How can you tell me I’m not seeing what I’m seeing, just because you can’t see it, too? Why do the shortsighted people get to claim what is and isn’t sane?”

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. 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…

WTF did I just read?! Woah…. it was intense. I started this novella because I wanted to read the author’s Cat and Mouse Duet series, and I have to say, I was not expecting it to be that gory and vicious. I was shocked that this book has such explicit stabbings and bloodiness. And the smut felt a bit HBO porn given the premise. However, the plot twist makes up for it and it just makes so much sense towards the end, I’m quite baffled. I would like to say more but given that this is a novella — I don’t feel like spoiling it. So, if you would love yourself a dark book on psychopaths, cults, and violence with a smudge of smut. Maybe, this is what you’re looking for all along.

I gave this novella a 3.5 star-rating. It is definitely a very disturbing read. I still don’t know what the heck I just read but I’m intrigued now to see what the 1st book of the duet has to offer; it better not disappoint.

  1. Satan’s Affair by HD Carlton is definitely a dark novella! I read this one recently and I agree with Mel’s review. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was definitely crazy. How does the author think of these things?!? A circus/fair that is a dark and scary one like this! Would anyone go to this? I don’t know if I would go. But this book just had me shaking me head. Of course, I had to read it to see what was going to happen. And now I’m on to book 2 of the series. I gave this one 3.5 stars also. The world is so creative and the characters are so complex that it’s like the author knows them.
