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!
