About this listen

In the once-quiet town of Willow Creek, my life was a steady beat, a rhythmic routine, until the carnival stormed in, a whirlwind of chaos and danger.

Under the neon lights and haunting melodies, Cade's eyes found mine—piercing, intense, sending shivers through my soul. He was a dark storm, a looming shadow over my every move.

Cade's obsession was relentless, his desire a madness that knew no bounds. Like a predator, he stalked me, every step a calculated move in his sinister dance. I tried to resist, but his twisted charm was a siren's song, pulling me deeper into his carnival of nightmares.

Reality blurred into illusion, and I found myself ensnared in a sinister game, where every shadow whispered secrets and every smile hid a threat. In Willow Creek's heart, where nightmares walked freely and darkness reigned, I faced a chilling truth: in a stalker's eyes, love and obsession are one.

As the carnival lights dim and darkness falls, I stand at a crossroads. Will I succumb to Cade's dangerous embrace, or will I fight to break free from his deadly grip?

Carnival Nightmare is a dark stalker novella with heavy subjects that some listeners may find triggering. There will be access to a full list of the warnings at the beginning of the book. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.

To be honest the only thing that kept me listening was Corvin King! My God that man has a sexy voice. The way he said Baby just melted me. The female narrator voice was a little much. Not much of a storyline but if you like a lot of spice this should satisfy you!

Excuse me, let me cool off. Mr. Corvin King knocked this out of the park. Holy crap!! The story is mostly about trust. And that’s what’s sexy about this.

It’s about trust

The heroine: Lily - she works at the diner in the town of Willow Creek. She works long days and is exhausted after her shifts. Her best friend Alice is often at her small apartment when Lily gets home. She talks Lily into going to the carnival on the first night he is in town.

The Hero: Cade - he works for a traveling carnival that just moves into the small town of Willow Creek. He is one of the muscular workers that set up the carnival, carry around the parts of the rides and puts them together. He had a meaningless existence before hooking up with the carnival. He loves being on the road, never tied down. He sees himself as a modern-day cowboy with the rides being his art.

The Story: Cade first sees Lily at her work through the window of the Diner and thinks she is the most gorgeous girl he has ever seen. He feels something he never felt before. He is determined to find out more about her and thinks about murdering her boyfriend if she has one. He pictures himself dragging her into a dark alley after she gets off work, though he is nice to her when he orders coffee in the diner. He knows she has awakened an obsessive hunger in him that he struggles to control. He plans to stalk her till he can figure out how to make her his.

Cade corners Lily near the bathrooms, scaring her when he tells her that he knows she lives alone and explaining all the things he wants to do to her. He follows her home and plans to make her his. After he breaks into her apartment, Lily finds that she is scared but also aroused by her stalker. She can’t get him out of her mind and hopes he loses interest before taking things to a place she can’t fight against.

This is one of those books with a morally grey anti-Hero. Cade definitely does things that are illegal and terrifies the girl he wants. He is not afraid of breaking the law and he pretty much does what he wants. There are more than a few triggers in this book, though I like stalker romance, and this was certainly all that. I liked that he had some pretty dark fantasies, but when was actually intimate with Lily, he is gentle with her. The intimate scenes between them are super steamy. The only think I didn’t like was the fact that after most of the intimate scenes, Lily just wants to get away. She loves what he does to her, but her mind tells her he is dangerous, and she needs to stay away.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Corvin King and Ella Upton. Corvin King has a deep, super sexy voice that works perfectly for a dark character like Cade. Ella Upton sounds very natural, but I am not fond of her voice, she sounds a bit nasal. Not my favorite, but I’m glad this was done in duet.

Super steamy dark stalker romance in duet.

This took off right away. I love that. This is definitely erotica for all you dark romance fans. Total stalker romance! Narrator Corvin was awesome and perfect. I figured Ella's volume seemed higher than his and just turned her chapters down a bit and it was fine. I DO like a little more emotional connection and some of the stuff towards the end were a little uncomfortable ... wrenches and audiences... but there are lovers of all that stuff. If your looking for an afternoon stalker smutty romance, this fits the bill. :)

Took off right away

It was great that the convos were performed so that male voices male character and female female characters. Female voice was annoyingly nasal though. Corvin King was a great narrator and made this a really enjoyable and spicy listening experience.

Male voice is amazing
