*The books in this post are going to lean very dark, dirty, and depraved. Please read at your own risk and read all TWs.
It's spooky season bitches! Which means all of the deliciously terrifying creatures are coming for you. I don't know about the rest of you, but I love nothing more than a good dark monster romance. I want all the biting, stalking, mating, multiple partner f**k fests that these books bring. But be warned my pretties, these books are not for the faint of heart. Proceed with caution and make sure your battery operated boyfriend is charged...shit's about to get dirty.
Sinner's Sideshow Duet By Aiden Pierce

I should preface this by saying I love everything that Aiden Pierce has written, but these books take the creepy cake! Following the story of Meg, a half human half succubus, as she explores her monster side at the Sinner's Sideshow, we embark on a dark journey of self discovery, creepy incubi clowns, hellhounds with three d**ks, and the literal devil. You'll find these books full of a little bit of everything from Biblical references, group scenes, multiple POV, romance, mates, and a hint of murder. If you aren't into literal monsters, these are definitely not the books for you. Please be warned that the trigger warnings on these books are extensive so proceed with caution.
Don't Be Scared By AJ Merlin

Once again, AJ Merlin is one of my favorite authors and you will notice that her work will come up a lot when I put out book lists. This MMF book follows Bailey, as her small town is haunted by a serial killer...or two. When she faces death at his hands, but is released instead, she doesn't know what to make of it, or the feelings he leaves her with. This book is spicy, gory, and an awesome Halloween themed read.
Eternally Damned By January Rayne

Eternally Damned is book #2 of the Eternally Series, but can be read as a stand alone. Set in Salem, Massachusetts, our story follows Maven, who has spent her whole life saving up to buy her dream house on the outskirts of town. When she finally does just that, she isn't expecting the house to be haunted by the spirit of a vampire...who just happens to be her mate. As she discovers her own powers and saves her beloved, bigger forces are at play that threaten everything she's built. With plenty of spice, romance, and magic, this book will leave you wanting more and wishing for a vampire mate of your own.
Burn for Jack By Aiden Pierce

I know. I know. Aiden Pierce is on this list again. What can I say but I'm a slut for her books. This is a short Halloween novella packed with a ton of spice and a beautiful love story spanning centuries. Ada has spent her whole life hearing stories about Jack Calloway, who centuries before bargained with the devil to save his love, and returns each year on Halloween to search for her. So what happens when Ada discovers that this pumpkin-headed man is more than just a ghost story, and he's finally found the one he's been searching for?
Carnival Monster By Selena Winters

Aurora has always been attracted to the darker things in life, so when she snags the attention of a devious stalker with literal skeletons in his closet, she's left with a choice. Does she stay where she is, or does she run... This Halloween themed dark romance is spicy and sweet as our MCs navigate their most carnal desires and a relationship they never saw coming.
