Blurb

Every town has a history.
Ours is just a little bit darker than most.

For years I’ve celebrated Halloween and Hollow Bridge’s history with everyone else who lives here. Parades, festivals, and insane Halloween parties have always been a staple for us. Some bad behavior is expected, given what we’re celebrating.

But murder has never been on the table before.

Someone in Hollow Bridge wants to bring the stories to life, and they’re not firing any warning shots. When rumors of someone wearing a Halloween mask surface, it isn’t long before the first person is killed.

No one is safe, but when I end up with a serial killer kneeling over me and a knife at my throat, I expect to be the next victim of the Hollow Bridge killer. I don’t expect for him to speak to me, from behind the garish mask he wears.

“Who should be the next to die, Bailey?”

Inexplicably, he lets me go. But I’m never going to be safe from him.
Because he wants more from me than just a name.

Don’t Be Scared is a full-length, MMF standalone for anyone looking for a spicy and dark Halloween read. It contains graphic violence, darker kinks, and murder. For a full list of triggers, please use the look inside feature.

My Thoughts <3

I absolutely LOVE Halloween so I definitely wanted to get my hands on this book after reading the blurb! I also am a huge fan of poly relationships and let’s just say that the chemistry between Bailey, Rory, and Phoenix was SO HOT! I don’t want to give too much away in this review, but know that it has everything that I like in a dark romance- a bit of suspense, relatable characters, awesome chemistry, so much steam, and a really good plot! All in all, it was darkly delicious and reveling in all of the fun things Halloween and I absolutely adored reading it!

PS: Thank you to AJ Merlin and Wildfire Marketing Solutions for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!
