A book of short dark stories. Nothing too in depth but enjoyable all the same. Some a bit more graphic than others. Amazon states for 13-18 year old but I would not recommend this as a book for kids, so not sure what's going on with that. There is some torture, self harm, abuse described.

A short retelling of Rumpelstiltskin (I seem to have a thing for this story at the moment). This time role reversal as Rumpelstiltskin is female and is out to help break her bond from her fae master with the milers sun. Cute quick story. Nice gap filler.

A home invasion of torture. How much do you love your partner. Would you hurt them or let them hurt you to prove your love? Graphic, gorey and disturbingly clever. Another hit from SC.

An enjoyable retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. Mostly lovable characters. A story telling protagonist, mythical creatures, ghosts, a lovable poltergeist and a dispicable villain. Looking forward to reading Cursed the second book of this exciting duology.

Not my favourite so far. A slower pace and I felt the surprises lacked the umph as her other books in the series. Liked the ending, and again we met characters from other books.

Book 3 in the Boss Universe series takes place in a zoo of you guessed it people. Another dark, graphic and disturbing book from SC. With a few characters from other books we follow the Boss in another business venture.
Not for the weak stomach.

50 x 1 page horror stories that make no sense. The name says it all.

Dark, disturbing, graphic. My second book by this author and I ate it up in the most disgusting way possible. Loved how she involved the actual circus acts, the wealthy elite audience wowore masks to hide their identity, the gruesome acts of torture. Great book (if that's your thing, obviously)

Another Haunting which involves Sean from Berkeley Manor. This story didn't grip me as much as the first. I found the ghosts themselves not as likable or whom they where and there was a lot of names so I found myself confused as to who was who. I have all 9 in the series so will carry on.

I DNFd at 110pg. The plot isn't really there and its taking too long to go anywhere. She uses the term beau which is just a 🤢 for me. 2 days and they are shortening each others names to Rave and Zar. The whole thing to me is a red flag for a thriller with spice it took me 5 days to get to 33%
