Ep 81 🎃 Very UNHINGED HALLOWEEN Book Reviews! | Burn For Jack & HallowPeen 🌶️

from Besties and the Books Podcast · host Besties and the Books

Send us Fan MailWe blinked and it’s suddenly spooky season again… and don’t you know we are not complaining about it! The leaves are turning, Home Depot skeletons are gracing the front lawns of every neighborhood in suburban America, and pumpkin cold foam is the highlight of our crisp mornings. It. Has. Begun. And for us fall girlies, that’s all we want in this life. Well, that and some good old Halloween peens. 🤷‍♀️🤭🎃We’re making it an annual tradition over here to pick two holiday “cringey” novellas to read and review, and of course Halloween kicks off this season of celebrations. Today we’re bringing you our thoughts on Hallowpeen by Holly Wilde and Burn for Jack by Aiden Pearce. We randomly chose two gems that Kindle Unlimited had to offer in the spooky smut space, and now we’re here to bring you the tea. We’ve got reviews, spice ratings, likes and dislikes… and whether or not we recommend diving into these short and sweet novellas. How unhinged and cringey are they really? We’ve got pumpkin headed hunks, gourd-like appendages, a man made of candy, and a pumpkin with touch her and die tendencies. What could possibly go wrong? Or right…? Stick around to find out, hear some Halloween faves and fails and a smash or pass, horror edition. SHOP OUR NEW BESTIES and the BOOKS X CROW Merch! | * https://besties-and-the-books-shop.fourthwall.comDon't be shy, subscribe!
