Until Neve stops asking who’s in control…and starts wondering what she’s becoming.Fear is the ticket. Pleasure is the trap. The curtain’s rising — and she’s the finale.**********Most Midnight Den books are short stories — unapologetically 100% smut and very little plot. BUT THIS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL is waaaay longer than usual and has reached a full-length book. That’s a whole lotta deranged smut!Each book is a standalone and can be read in any order.They are not love stories with HEAs — they are one night of filthy fun. Usually no romance, aftercare, or emotional resolution.Not for the faint of heart. You’ll need a fire extinguisher for your e-reader, a lawyer for your depravity, and exorcising in a bucket of holy water for your warped soul by the time you’re done with the series.Graphic, explicit content for adult readers only. PLEASE CHECK THE CONTENT WARNINGS.There’s a Midnight Den in almost every city. Monster Fudging is big business. ‘Others’ rarely mix with humans in romantic relationships—we’re beneath them, the lowest rung on the evolutionary ladder. But within each species, there are always those willing to take our money for a night of pure, feral debauchery.From midnight to six a.m., every carnal desire is yours to claim. Tentacles, claws, and otherworldly *members* will plunder you to nirvana. Whether you want your monster to deliver degradation, worship, restraint, or pure ruin, nothing is forbidden. Everything is encouraged.Welcome to the Midnight Den. Time to unleash your beast.
