“Do not fear death, because no amount of worrying will change the consequence of mortality.”

Cuervo’s Carnival is supernatural, spiritual and sexy novella about trying to escape destiny in an abandoned carnival, but Lola is continually haunted by a symbol she’s seen her whole life…her first instinct is to shut it out and run. But sometimes we need to embrace what haunts us. Not only bad things come in threes

Incredible. I cannot describe this any other way. The depth in which NJ writes, Its mind blowing.. The ending was so far from what I expected.

Jumping straight in with the smut review. This is a MMF throuple and it delivered. *mops up drool*. The visuals from the spice

Dear dear dear, what a book.

I would like to thank NJ for being nice enough to send me an ARC after I’ve harassed her for weeks telling her how excited I was to read it. I think she got the hint and took pity on me, but I’ll never thank her enough for this. I once told her that I would auto-read all her books after reading Skulls and Stitches, and Cuervo’s Carnival just reinforced what I said.

This is a short story, but so full that it actually took me two days to read it (that and I didn’t have much time to read too). So much happens in this book, you dive into the story straight from page 1, and it unravels itself slowly.
Be patient, you will not understand everything that is going on all at once, but you will have answers, that I swear.
This story is one of grief, of how love can help you overcome what could drown you, of how those you lost hold a power over you, but not one meant to hold you down, one meant to help you up.
Lola is one bad ass b*tch, and I don’t wanna mess with her. Paxton and Cillian are just incredibly supportive, loving, hot and praising kings. You will want to join this throuple, TRUST ME, even if you were not initially attracted to women, or to men, YOU WILL BE NOW.

I cannot recommend this book enough if you’re into dark romance, ghosts, mystery, MMF romance, paranormal stuff, praising (you know you are)… please don’t hesitate.
Will it scare you ? Probably. Will you get off on the fright ? Most definitely. Will you ask NJ to marry you afterwards ? No because I already did, so back off (jk, welcome to my life).

Cuervo's Carnival is the noir romance of my dark dreams. The writing is superb and full of delicious spice and characterization to keep you turning pages all night. My only critique is that it's a novella when I want more! More Lola, Cillian, and Pax. More drama with the Reapers. More of it all because it was that fun to read! If you are a fan of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven, you must check out this book. I'm a huge fan of NJ Week's retellings, having gushed over the Jack and Sally retelling that is Skulls and Stitches, only to fall harder for Cuervo's Carnival. If you love all things Halloween, she's the author for you!

Please read TW before reading this book. It deals with themes of grief and betrayal. It also has detailed on-page sex (mmf).

I can't wait for more of this author's books!

This may have been a novella but it felt like full length in the best way!

I loved Lola, Paxton and Cillian so much, their dynamic worked perfectly and they all balanced each other out. They all knew what kept each other calm, how to work each other up

We follow Lola’s journey through grief, secrets, and coping with everything else going on in her life. Pax and Cil are her alas, wings, who keep her grounded when she feels she is losing grip with reality. The throuple’s relationship shows us that through love they can overcome the darkest of times. The thigh clenching spice
