The Tallest Poppy - Chloe Gong -> 4.5/5
-> Ms Chloe is the queen of vibes, but the ending was confusing so ???
Loved By All, Save One - Tori Bovalino: 5/5 -> i will eat up anything Tori writes and this whole book could have just been. an anthology of Tori’s mini-horror stories
One-Lane Bridge - Hannah Whitten: 4/5
-> yes. strong horror vibes. loved to read it. but it’s not Tori Bovalino.
Ghost on the Shore - Allison Shaft: 4.5/5
-> LET’S GO LESBIANS, LET’S GO!!!
Petrified - Olivia Chadha: 3.5/5 -> i could see what she was trying to do, but the amount of unexplained lore kinda backfired. but yeah, we love sacrificing annoying men in this house.
Third Burn - Courtney Ghould: 5/5 -> WHERE IS THE REST OF THIS I NEED MORE!?!?!?!
It Stays With You - Aden Polydoros: 2.5/5
-> listen. the horror vibes are so strong, but i just don’t vibe with suicidal thoughts and kids having cancer anymore. it hits too close to home.
Truth or Dare - Alex Brown: 5/5 -> i could relate to this on a spiritual level. i’m glad homegirl got rid of him.
The Burning One - Shakira Toussaint: 0/5 -> someone explain to me what was going on here because i genuinely don’t know what i just read. 0% scary, 100% confusing.

Rachel is a little stupid. I mean, come on, going skinny dipping in some stranger's pool when you don't actually know if there aren't any employees on the grounds.
And yeah, it just gets worse from thereon, thanks to Dean.
Along with Manson from the Dare and Aiden from Dirty First Dates: The Arcade, Dean is definitely the patient sort of dom who can still be scary enough if he wants, and I LOVE that about him.
I really like how he emphasized the whole "I don't want to hurt you, I just want to teach you a lesson" ordeal, because along with the consent, that's another thing people often overlook or ignore when it comes to BDSM - even though it is crucial.
And since we're speaking of consent, there is plenty of that too.
I understand that this is a spanking-centered story and hence it might be catered more towards people with a spanking fetish - but honestly, it's in the name, so what are you expecting.
Just like most of Harley's stories, this one has a few morals that make it a worthwhile read.
