Forgive me, father, for I am about to sin.

Поки не впевнена в цьому жанрі, але піде. Не ідеально, але читаємо. І якщо їм обом нормально це, то все гаразд.

...I...I'm at a loss as to how to rate this. Because on one hand, I would read more about these characters and more from the author, but on the other, some scenes made me uncomfortable and others made me cringe.
The stuff I'm about to mention is in the trigger warnings by the way, so not a spoiler, but if you don't have any triggers and want to go into this blind then you can stop reading now.
So, one of the things I want to mention is "forced piercing" in which the mc gives the fmc a piercing...by force. And as someone who has multiple piercings I was just cringing so hard at how unhygienic the whole thing had to be.
Oddly enough, this was not my first time encountering that in a book, the other one had a demon doing it, I didn't cringe any less there but I assume it was completely sterilised by demon fire or something, who knows.
Anyway, I know Alec used alcohol beforehand, but he was not a piercer and I just don't find that hot I'm sorry. He could've hurt her.
Which brings me to the dubcon which is definitely present. Hayden doesn't know who's chasing her, hunting her down and she's scared, she's saying no all the way up until she finds out it's Alec and then she's like oh now that I know it's him I find this even hotter. And yeah I'm not really a fan of that.
PLUS, ok this next bit might be a little spoilery for the smut so look away, the very first thing he did was use a knife on her before she even knew who he was...and I don't really know what it is with Halloween novella authors and shoving knives where they aren't meant to go but...
Anyway, I am not opposed to knives in books as long as they don't go up anything, and that happened here twice. The second time he shoved it in at the same time as his dick and she was a virgin too like SIR CALM DOWN. This is her first time ever and you're gonna do her like that??? In a church too??? Have some respect.
I also would've liked a bit more backstory about their prior relationship because it feels incomplete. For this type of story I think it would've worked out better if he was just a random stranger stalker because we would know exactly the same amount about him as we know about Alec.
But maybe that will be fixed in whatever comes next, their relationship could be more developed etc. Like I said, I would like to read more about them, there is something there despite what I mentioned above. But yeah, be aware of the triggers going in and don't take this book too seriously.

“Alec, wait please” I beg. He ignores me and rubs his shaft up and down a few times.
“Father, forgive me,” he says with a heavy sigh, “for I am about to sin.”

Holy fucking shiznuts… I know Alec says to run but gods I want to run TO him not away!
Run Baby Run was so fucking hot that even the Devil would blush and fan himself reading it! Thank goodness D. Sabia seems to intend to write more of Hayden and Alec because I sure as hell wasn’t ready for that to be the end of their relationship. I’ve read some dark, sexy, messed up shit before but NEVER have I seen a forced piercing and Lordy did it make me feel some type of way *drools*… Clearly I’m fucked in the head and in need of more therapy.
Five solid gold stars and a new kink unlocked!

Note: Some of my goodreads shelves can be spoilers
Overall: ⭐️⭐️
Readability: 📖📖 (There were a lot of errors and mistakes, to the point that I – me, the typo queen – was bothered by it.)
Feels: 🦋🦋
Emotional Depth: 💔 You know the bare minimum about these two, but it is a short story
Sexual Tension: ⚡⚡
Romance: 💞 (I can LOVE dubcon and noncon but I didn’t find this book romantic at all. No feels. Only cringe.)
Sensuality: 💋💋💋 The actual sex was okay to me – it was explicit but missed a lot of that emotional pull I crave
Sex Scene Length: 🍑🍑🍑🍑
Steam Scale (Number of Sex Scenes): 🔥 (It’s basically one extended scene for this short story)
Humor: Ummm no? Maybe? I didn’t find it funny but I think it’s there for some people
Perspective: first person from both hero and heroine
More character focused or plot focused? plot? Sex?
How did the speed of the story feel? fast
When mains are first on page together: It takes awhile, about 43% into this short story
Cliffhanger: Yes – this ends with an open ending...it’s not a happy for now but kind of implied there’s a possiblity of a continuation of the relationship...the ending does say ‘the end for now….’ so I’m not sure if there’s more coming.
Epilogue: There is a chapter listed as epilogue but it’s just a day or so in the future and very brief
Format: read this book through kindle unlimited in e-book form
Why I chose this book: I saw a post by @monsterlovers_bookclub on instagram and had to try it!
(Descriptions found at end of my review)
Should I read in order?
It’s fine to read this alone
Basic plot:
Hayden has to work the night of the Halloween carnival and meets her stalker
Give this a try if you want:
- contemporary erotic horror (not really a romance)
- shorter novel
- curvy heroine
- stalker hero
- ravishment fantasy
- you’re okay with nonconsensual acts
- mid to higher steam – there is basically one extended sex act, but it’s most of the story
Ages:
- didn’t see them mentioned
First line:
I stumble out of the house of mirrors, panting heavy and shaking.
My thoughts:
Oof, I struggled with this one! I was so excited to see another short, masked hero book, but this one didn’t do it for me at all.
If you are looking for pure ravishment fantasy with lots of noncon from the hero and a touch of darkness, I think you should give this one a go!
As for me, I didn’t connect with the writing. I am VERY forgiving of typos and errors. I know they happen (just look at literally anything I post). I know editors miss things and it’s human nature. But this one felt really raw and unedited to me. Multiple (like...every page) missing commas, punctuation, missing words in sentences...repetitive. It just wasn’t very readable to me. I am all for swearing in my reads, but ‘shit’ and ‘fuck’ were in like every sentences and it just started to feel juvenile to me.
The author portrays the heroine as overweight, which I was here for! But doesn’t really comment on the hero’s size in comparison so when it’s said that ‘her small body writhing beneath me’ I was like, why isn’t he admiring her curves??
This book was mostly cringe for me, not much I loved. Along with the overtones of religion I was just not feeling it.
Few random reading stats for this author
# of books read: This is my first
Average rating: 2 stars
Favorite book: I guess this one?? I’m thinking I wouldn’t read this author again sadly.
Quotes So, usually I will own all typos and mistakes as my own because I make them constantly. But this one I did try to copy the text verbatim – there’s a lot of typos and errors in this one, missing commas and punctuation, etc
Content warnings: These should be taken as a minimum of what to expect. It’s very possible I have missed some.
Locations of kisses/intimate scenes, safe sex aspects, consent, pregnancy/child in the story:
Extra stuff like what my review breakdown means, where to find me, and book clubs

Short and hot read for Halloween but would have benefited from being a bit longer and having more back story between the characters. I couldn’t connect with them and it all felt a bit rushed. There’s one spicy scene which is noncon but I think from the end scene it’s implied it’s actually dubcon but I’m not 100% sure. Honestly just a few more pages of context would have really helped.
I liked the addition of the 🔪 with the 🍆, not seen it done like that before.
There’s some errors including jumping between different tenses in the same paragraph and missing words, if you can get past that then I’m so happy for you because my brain cannot.
I don’t understand where the prologue fits into the story? I think it’s a tease of the cornfield scene later on in the story but what happens doesn’t quite match up so I’m not sure.
It’s the end “for now” so hopefully Alec and Hayden will get something full length because I’d like to see more of them.
I think I’m desensitised to triggers now because I didn’t find this dark but make sure you check the warnings before you read!

Everything I wanted and more in a novella
I want more... I need more from these characters. This was dark, dirty, spicy 5/5, and mmm just so damn good. Mask man and a curvy virgin... oh it's just so good for being such a short book. I will be telling all my friends to read this for Halloween spicy reads. If you loved That Sik Luv like I did! Well this has those same vibes. I could go on and on about it but instead of reading my review go read this book.

forgive me father, for I have sinned…
This was a GOOD short read!
I love the vibes, and the spice was 🥵
Alec is the kind of toxic that you’ll never openly admit to loving, but crave in private.
Holy boy in the streets, psychotic demon in the sheets.
I may be biased because I really enjoy a holy man theme, but this was hot AF.
I really hope we get to see more of their story!

This was quick, dirty, and utterly taboo. I liked the whole chasing and tying up thing, the stalking, and most of the sex was hot. I am personally not into knife play, but it fit into the story. Alec was a true villain, masquerading as the pious son of a preacher and took great pleasure in his sacrilegious debauchery.
Spice: 3/5
Triggers: noncon, knife play, violence, fatphobia (from side character, some internalized), stalking, choking, kidnapping

I’m sorry, this book was very repetitive and the sentence structures along with the typos made me want to gauge my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon.
The content warnings at the beginning are a little questionable because it states that only a few are listed but not all of them and at the end of the list it says “and sooo much more…” this should’ve been a sign for me not to read this, not because I could potentially find something triggering (which is very hard for me to do) but because it probably showed that what I was about to consume wasn’t gonna be any good.
Not to mention, THE PLOT HOLES.
How did she lock the door from the outside if she was already inside the attraction? According to the book, it can’t be unlocked from the inside.
Tell me why she recognized Alec’s voice in the corn maze when she couldn’t see his face but then when she saw and heard him at the church’s doors 10 minutes later she didn’t put two and two together until it was too late. Also, her wrists were bound by a rosary… has the author ever touched one of those? They’re so fragile and always break.
You’re also telling me that this deranged psychopath hung her by her wrists on a nail (with a brittle rosary holding all of her weight, mind you) and she gave in and kissed him back to bite his tongue instead of kicking him on the balls? What’s biting gonna do?
A perfect opportunity was wasted when instead of grabbing the candles and dripping wax on her naked body he just decides to pierce her nipple????
And then after being obviously raped by this monster she shows up to the church service the next Sunday? IF THIS IS NOT DELULU I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS.
Rant over.

If you don’t like anything dark or taboo just don’t even bother with this one.
Felt a bit off because we didn’t get any backstory on these two, but I feel like maybe the shock factor was there to set it up for more to come? Idk.

"Father forgive me," he says with a heavy sigh, "for I am about to sin"
Damn, this story was hot as hell! I just love a bad, dirty, church boy and Alec was exactly that!
It was only 51 pages long, so I didn’t expect much out of it, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t pleasantly surprised. Was it perfect? No, it wasn't. There were some editing issues with grammar and punctuation, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment. I do however, wish this had been a full length novel as what I read only increased my appetite for more.
While the author has provided a good basis for the characters, I can't help but feel that the story would have been so much better if she'd included some character development and introduced the plot in a way that didn’t just focus on the carnival night.
However, there is a silver lining, as the end of the story is titled “The End...for Now”, so I’m hoping that the author will use this as an opportunity to do some rewrites and take this story to a "darker" place. But for now, this is a really good Halloween novella with the potential of becoming so much more. I will definitely be back for the next book!

Run Baby Run by D. Sabia
Was looking for a quick read before the end of June and this book came up in my suggestions. This book was a good short read, especially if you’re missing Halloween in this summer heat! Hayden feels like she’s being watched ever since attending the church camp. Her best friend signs them up to work the Halloween carnival. Alec has been watching her from a distance since he was her counselor at the church camp. He’s been watching her, waiting for Halloween to have her. No one will suspect a thing since Alec is the preacher’s son. “Father, forgive me, for I am about to sin.”
Please check triggers before reading 🖤

This was a quick 50 page read. It was okay. Still entertaining, but I didn’t feel that “wow” factor. I loved the concept of the preachers son. There were quite a few missing words that I kept getting hung up on, but like I said, overall entertaining if you’re looking for just a quick read in between longer books or something spooky. Takes place at a carnival and then a church, and he’s masked.

The blurb is what sucked me into this read and I figured to give this novella a shot. Coming out of it, I’m not disappointed.
Though it was kinda hard to really feel the “connection” between Hayden and Alec, the chase and the sexual chemistry was basically there.
Judging by the end of this, there will either be a part 2 to Hayden and Alec’s story or a full story to come. Definitely seems pretty interesting.

Run baby Run...right into Alec's arms🔥🔥🔥Holy hell, this was hot. Thank God it sounds like the author plans to give us a full length book about Hayden and Alec because I was left wanting so much more.

I went in with high hopes for a good predator/prey fic, but the amount of punctuation errors and the fact that it was obvious at some parts that there was no copyediting threw me off. I finished it so there's that, and I liked the characterization of the main characters.

2.5 stars. It was 50 pages so I wasn’t expecting much but I was kind of cringing during some of this because the dialogue was cringy. It was fun 😂

This was short, but definitely hard to think about. Take the trigger warnings seriously. Also who in the world would force a piercing like that?!
