Blurb:
Every Halloween, Satan's Affair will come to you.
We travel the country, offering terrifying haunted houses, thrilling rides and the tastiest food. And with every passing town, I cleanse this world, one execution at a time.
I hide within the walls, casting my judgement for those that reek of evil, singing lullabies to their rotting souls.
Once you've been chosen, there's no escaping my henchmen—they cater to my every desire.
You can run and you can hide, but it only excites me.
Come.
Take a walk through my dollhouse, where your screams will blend and your cute little pleas will go unanswered.
But I can't promise it'll be over quickly...

Three, Four Better Lock Your Door
Sibby and her henchmen-cum-lovers Mortis, Timothy, Jackal & Cronus are part of a traveling Halloween fair called Satan's Affair during the fall months. Contained within the Halloween scaretractions of haunted houses, small thrill rides, and plenty of food to enjoy, Sibby's little dollhouse waits for the one rotten soul to enter her domain. Those with rotten souls can enter but they are never allowed to escape. Not when Sibby has her beloved knife ready to hack up these demons. Sibby gets off on these killings and once the demon has been taken care of, she enjoys quite an orgy of sex with her minions. As the Halloween fair goes from town to town, Sibby continues her work to destroy the rotten-smelling souls that enter her attraction. It is even during this one night Zade makes his appearance.
Seven, Eight Gonna Stay Up Late
Ah, Freddy Kreuger. A favorite of mine. I can see why Sibby would recite the poem when she is so nearly his female counterpart. Of course, without being able to kill people in their sleep. Sibby really went through hell as a child especially being in such a cult of her father's own making. So, I felt really sorry for her. I felt even more emotional attachment to her when it came to her mother. The one person she loved more than anything. I want to say that the mother endured a lot to protect her children and perhaps more Sibby than the others. They were, after all, already brainwashed. Maybe it was the reason why she did not protect them as much (perhaps she even tried at one point but their brainwashing had become too bad for her even to reach them).
Sibby's emotions were a rollercoaster. I don't want to give off too much of a spoiler to the book, but the last chapters of the book were rather interesting and something I was not sure I expected. But then this book was not entirely something I expected in the first place. LOL.
And let us not forget that this book introduces us to Zade. Now, I have not read the Cat and Mouse Duet. I have it set to be on my July TBR. So, I am looking forward to that.
As for the blood, gore, and sex. This book won't be the first and won't be the last that I have read with that combination.
Will I be reading more of her? I plan to next month. Zade has made me curious about him so I will definitely be checking out his own duet.
