About this listen
Think Sleepy Hollow meets nostalgic 00s slasher vibes but make it sexy with a modern day gothic strip club & revenge plot that will make you scream...
Ah, Halloween…what a delightfully wicked time of year.
But for some people, like Blair Van Tassel, it comes with a haunting reminder of the past she is trying to put behind her.
And this Halloween, it marks the 15th anniversary of when she set up her Instant Messenger friend: Boogeyman_Of_Haddonfield_31to take the fall for a crime she committed.
She thought her plan was fool proof. Lure him to the scene of the crime just in time for him to leave fingerprints on the weapon, leading the murderous trail that she started to him.
But that’s the thing with the internet.
Do you ever really know who is on the other side of the screen?
Can you even fathom what domino effect can begin by simply screwing with the wrong person?
These are things Blair never considered.
She thought she set up Boogeyman_Of_Haddonfield_31 but what she really started was a war with Maddox Crane.
The mad man of Sleepy Hollow. Who has an insatiable taste for blood.
And in a town that thrives on a good fright, Blair better hope that her screams are heard and aren’t buried within the landscape of Halloween night.
That is, if she even survives it.
The Trick is intended for listeners 18+. For a full list of CW please see the beginning of the book or the authors website.

Story
It was Halloween, my favorite time of the year. I had my dream job as a tattoo artist, a loyal best friend, and an ex who happily tended to my needs without complicating our arrangement with feelings. Everything was going great until Devil’s Night when the masked man watched me from the shadows like a predator stalking his next meal, and that’s what I was: his prey. Like any natural-born predator, he was bloodthirsty, staking his claim to me before I could see the face behind his mask. He wasn’t afraid to kill for a bite of what he craved.

Ronan: This world was never meant for me—a shadowed figure wandering, fueled by carnal desires until I am destined for hell. And I embrace it wholeheartedly. But then she came into the picture after my successful hunt at a local coffee shop. She offered me a simple act of kindness, and in that moment, I was consumed by her. My obsession with Everly knows no bounds, and there is no escape. Her fate is to become one with me, bound by darkness and consumed by our twisted desires.

I've even played out a few scenarios that end with her taking my knife in much more creative ways than usual. Today is the day I finally take her life. I'm ramping up the carnage and tying up loose ends in bloody bows.

Trista has been on the run for years, attempting to escape a past that isn’t willing to let her go. Life taught her that she can rely only on herself for survival, and in turn, it’s made her cold, calculating, manipulative, and just a little vindictive. She knows they’re out there searching for her. She knows someone will always be right behind her, but a life spent running and hiding is exhausting. A life spent fighting and outsmarting her pursuers takes a toll.

From the moment I walked away from my old life and started a new one in the small town of Shadowvale, I learned there were three rules I should follow if I wanted to survive—One: don’t go outside at night alone. Two: don’t ask questions about the obviously haunted house at the far side of town. And three: don’t catch Hunter Reed’s attention. Me? I broke all three almost immediately. The Reeds own Shadowvale. They live in the haunted house, and everyone seems afraid of them

I'm wanted. On the lam, running from the law and my mistakes. The house tucked into the trees seems safe—an excellent place to hide out. Once inside, I find something unexpected. A nurse that can do more than heal my wounds. But the longer I'm awake, the more reality starts to blur, and I can't tell what's real and what's not anymore. Plagued by ill fantasies and temptation, I try to keep her safe from me. It works until the lines between us also begin to blur.

A match made in sexy hell
Well this was a little Halloween delight 😈 The Trick was my first NJ Weeks book and I was pleasantly surprised! I would say if you’re a fan of Butcher & Blackbird but you want/need/are ready for more depravity… this one is for you! I love the Sleepy Hollow references with our main characters: Blair Van Tassel and Maddox Crane. These two are explosive but seem to be fated due to their “proclivities” and love for slasher films. Maddox’s stalker/obsessed nature is delicious as he hunts Blair. The plot is deeper than you think at first when you realize their initial meeting actually happened 15 years ago… and he’s been chasing her ever since. Both refuse to back down but the spice 🥵🥵😮💨😮💨 these two are fire. I loved the subtle “twist” at the end, I thought it was perfect. I thought Daphne Fields and Tommy Aguilar did a fantastic job with the duet narration!

Both narrators do such an incredible job bringing the characters to life! They capture the unhinged crazy moments and yet the super cute or silly ones! I’m beyond obsessed with how this turned out! I already loved the book and this audiobook took it to another level!

great plot twist, great intro
3 / 5 stars
This book has an interesting plot twist and a very unique and original plot line. I do think there were parts of it that were a little repetitive and I did contemplate DNFing it once because it got slow in the middle, but the premise and the suspense was so good that I held on for the ride. I loved the ending, and the beginning was absolutely thrilling.

Top tier narration
Maddox is what every unhinged MMC wants to be… and I was here for every single moment of it. Blair had me screaming with her delightful sass and banter with Maddox. And that audiobook performance took this to a whole different level… because boy did their voices deliver on a totally orgasmic experience. This was my first by both Daphne Fields and Tommy Aguilar but it absolutely wont be my last.

Beautiful story
This story gets me choked up every time. The pet names, the banter, and the thrill of the chase. The voice actors did this story justice and were still able to make me tear up just like I did the first time I read the book. The twists and turns at the very end will have you second guessing everything. It had an amazing ending and it is totally worth the listen!

LOVE A GOOD STALKER STORY
This book was 5 stars just for the story, but having it read to me by these amazing narrators!!! Just made it that much better.
Blair and Maddox are both insane, and together they are a toxic masterpiece that must be experienced. I loved this audiobook from beginning to end.
