Nightfall (Devil's Night)
Penelope Douglas · 2024
What happens when it's five against one and nowhere to run? The games are back in the thrilling final installment in New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas's Devil’s Night series.… They call it Blackchurch. A secluded mansion in a remote, undisclosed location where the wealthy and powerful send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes. Will Grayson has always been reckless, wild, and never been bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wanted. He learned long ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. Back in high school, he might’ve enjoyed backing Emory into corners when no one was looking, but he could also be warm. And fierce in keeping her safe. But the truth is, he has a right to hate her. Because it's all her fault. Everything. Devil’s Night. The videos. The arrests. She's to blame—and yet she regrets nothing. He never expected one of his enemies to come straight to him. But now he knows she's here somewhere. And as the security detail leaves and the door to the gilded cage opens, giving Will free reign of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, he remembers with a smile… Blackchurch houses five prisoners. And he's only one of her problems.

Hollow Wrath (The Hollows Trilogy)
Jodie King · 2025
<b>This is a pitch-black circus romance/horror erotica with a morally pitch-black MUTE MMC. It isn't for the faint of heart and it's extremely dark. With that, please check the trigger warnings on my website. This is book TWO of The Hollows Trilogy, where we follow the story to Hollow Wrath. (You MUST read Hollow Hellion first.)</b><p><br><i>"The loudest threats come from those who speak-but true terror lives in the silence of a man who doesn't." - Aurelia <p>"Because death would be mercy. And I'd rather have you live-tethered to me until you forget you ever wanted to be anything but mine." - Wrath</i> <p>I thought I'd met monsters. I thought I had faced true horror. I thought I had felt real darkness. But nothing-nothing-could have prepared me for <b><i>Oddity Carnival & Cirque. </i></b> <p>Almost two years locked away in a cage, and now I've been pulled into a world where madness knows no bounds-a place where the performers wear their brokenness like a proud mask, and the tightrope between reality and nightmare is razor-thin. <p>Then there's <b><i>Hollow Wrath</i></b>. A brother of The Hollows. <p>The moment I lock eyes with him, something inside me shifts-an unsettling force. His gaze, red, coiled, and unblinking, snakes around my spine like cold fingers. His tattoos spiralling, alive and hungry, writhe across his skin. <p>But Wrath is far from alive. <p>He's a shadow of a man. A deranged, muted sadist whose soul was devoured long ago. He doesn't just crave death-he is the very definition of it. And now... his fixation is set on me. Dead or alive. I'm his <i>Little Corpse</i>.</p><p>But he's wrong if he thinks I'm just another victim. I've got unfinished business-demons of my own that I plan to chase. They tell me I should fear him, but the truth is... the only person I truly fear is myself.</p>
