Trick or Treat is a thrilling erotic horror novel. Prepare yourself
for lots of twisted and dark themes and elements. If gore, violence,
death and kinky steamy sex aren’t your thing...then don’t read
this book.
Trick or Treat by
K.M. Rogness is sure to make many a reader pause and stop to check it
out with a cover that has the five main characters depicted on the
cover. Up near the top are four men with different colored masks
covering their faces. Who are they? Well, you’ll have to read the
book to find out. Below them with her hair swirling all around her is
a young woman...their intended victim. But will she become something
more before it’s all said and done?
Trick or Treat takes
place around Halloween in Salem, MA. Scarlett and her four friends
have just graduated college. It’s their celebration night and they
intend to just go out, have a good time, get high, and just see where
the night takes them. What they have no way of knowing is that this
Halloween? Will be one that they will never forget...for as long as
they live.
Trick or Treat is
told from the first person POV of Scarlett’s primarily. She is the
main character of this story and experiences every terrifying moment
that unfolds. It all starts with an “accidental” death and
progresses to some truly delicious extremes.
Scarlett won’t be
the sole character that author Rogness focuses on. Remember the four
masked men on the cover? Each of them will get the spotlight in this
story as well. But watch out, these men? They’re some dangerous
individuals and they take great pleasure in creating fear, tormenting
their victims, and enjoying themselves to the fullest.
Trick or Treat
starts out innocently enough. Five friends, hanging out, getting high
in a cemetery, believing that the future is bright and ahead of them.
Things turn foolish when a weapon gets pulled out and they start
horsing around. What they have no way of knowing is that they’re
also being watched by a group of dark and deadly predators.
Author Rogness loves
shock value and it shows in this book. One minute Scarlett and her
friends are having a good time, the next...one of her friends is dead
and on the ground. Cue jaw-drop, especially with how the friend is
killed. It seems almost impossible for it to happen the way that it
does. You’ll probably have your suspicions, but will struggle to
connect the dots.
Piece by piece,
Trick or Treat is going to unfold into a dark and twisted story that
will keep you page-turning to find out what happens next. Scarlett
and her remaining friends, instead of reporting the accident, simply
bury their friend there in the cemetery. We get it… to an extent.
They’re all high, scared, and feel guilty. This really pushes the
story into “I Know What You Did Last Summer” territory...except
you’re getting a group of serial killers looking to have some fun.
Prepare yourself for
some seriously steamy scenes in this book. These scenes are not just
steamy, they are twisted and delicious. Some, for some readers, will
be highly extreme, but you won’t be able to tell me that you didn’t
get hot and bothered when you read them. One thing is for sure, no
matter how dark and “disturbing” this book gets...you’re going
to be hard pressed to put it down.
Trick or Treat takes
place over the course of a year from one Halloween to the next. Does
that mean that it all takes place on two different Halloweens? Come
on now, where would the fun be in that? No, Trick or Treat literally
unfolds over the course of a year plus.
This book is packed
with twists and turns as the POV shifts between Scarlett and the four
killers who are stalking her. Of course, they aren’t just “playing”
games with Scarlett and her friends. No, there will be innocents
taken along the way. Some of the POVs when it comes to the guys will
focus on these “side” kills, but only a certain number.
Trick or Treat is a
twisted game of cat and mouse, and when the “cat” catches the
“mouse” well, they have more than a little fun playing with her.
You can’t help wondering – “How is this all going to play out?”
Will the guys do exactly what they say they will which is kill
Scarlett when they’re done with her? Or will we get a bit of
reverse Stockholm syndrome?
Our only real
complaint concerning this story is that as bloodthirsty as the guys
are we don’t get as much as one would expect from them. Trick or
Treat focuses heavily on their obsession with Scarlett and her
friends, but Scarlett especially. It would have been nice to read
about the fall out of one of their more gruesome scenes, especially
when this is when they take Scarlett. The story overall is packed
with a good detail, but there are some areas that needed it and just
don’t get the attention that could have made this book beyond
perfect.
We hope that you
like twisted endings, because that is exactly what you’re going to
get with this book. Prepare for some surprise revelations that will
make your jaw drop and have you thinking “Wow! That totally makes
sense.” Trust us, you won’t be the only one thinking this. Trick
or Treat comes to quite the epic conclusion. Granted you’re not
getting anything definitive, so be prepared to use your imagination
of how you think it will all end.
Trick or Treat is a
real treat for readers who enjoy erotic horror. This twisted
page-turner is one that you will not be putting down once you start
reading. One thing is for sure – Trick or Treat brings the horror
and the steamy that’s going to either have you needing a cold
shower or some quality alone time. We know which direction we’re
leaning. LOL!
