About this book

Some people kill for fame and fortune. I'm killing for the chance to bang my Jack-in-the-box.

Yes, I mean that literally—but hear me out:

My life blows worse than my ex. The only family member I like just died, my Mom's married to a POS perv, and if you look up 'slum lord' in the dictionary, there's a picture of my property managers.

Three steps away from needing a short vacation in a grippy-sock house, I find the antique Jack-in-the-box that used to terrify me as a kid. Sure, it scared me back then, but now… It’s always there for me. I start talking to it like it's actually alive—

—And then he invades my dreams.

There, he's real—a surprisingly sexy, lanky, sad little clown man called Claus with a spring where his legs should be. But that doesn’t stop him from using that painted smile of his to bring me more pleasure than I’ve ever known.

Then he tells me he can join me in the real world—just one catch: he needs a human sacrifice.

…I'm seriously considering it, if it means I can bounce on more than just his coil.

This is a sentient object dark romance featuring a possessed Jack in the box, an incredibly unlucky FMC, bucket of violence, extremely jacked up sex scenes, manipulation, and a content warning list long enough you oughta check it out just in case.

Latrexa is a new to me author and I couldn’t resist diving into this unique paranormal spicy romance. Needless to say - came for the demon clown, stayed for the glitter confetti love juice. Melody has had a rough go in life, but this little spitfire doesn’t give up. She keeps pushing on no more how much life may suck and I adore that about her. Things seem to take a turn when she inherits a creepy jack in the box from her grandmother though. Jack is a demon who has been trapped in the confines...

“You’re perfect as you are, no matter what form that takes”

This is a MF, Jack-in-the-box, sentient object paranormal romance. As usual, check trigger warnings before reading. What did I just read… and why did I like it so much? This was my first sentient object romance and now I feel like I should have given them a chance sooner. Was this a literary masterpiece? No, but I was thoroughly entertained with the story and its characters. In my opinion, this is a perfect book if you are in a reading slump, or if you want a palate cleanser without leaving the...

5 Star Read

I received a free copy of the book and am leaving a voluntary review. Trigger Warnings of Note: attempted SA, graphic murder, sex amid said carried-out murder, a MMC who is unabashedly evil, fancy peens, clowns, etc. Wowwee! This book sure was a journey. From the first page, I was hooked. I will say, I spent like three weeks waiting for Latrexa to drop the ARC and then I didn't even find the ARC in my email until after the book was already out. Shame on me! Jack is an amazing character and love...
