Petra is skeptical when it comes to the French Quarter’s creepy urban legends. Until she meets Dax Rousseau, the proprietor of the House of Ink and Blood.

Fun and short

This was super fun! I loved the banter that JT is a master at producing. A short little story to get you into the seasonal mood. It definitely leaves you wanting more. Vanessa and Troy were as usual amazing and they really get into their characters and just always bring a story to life.

My favorite of the short story series this far!

I loved everything about this story! The characters, the voice actors, the setting, the supernatural twist! This is how you write a smutty short paranormal romance with snark! And the author left me wanting more in all the best ways!

Petra, a skeptical reporter, meets Dax Rousseau, a cursed tattoo artist whose family secrets are written in ink across his skin. The deeper she’s drawn into his world, the more danger—and desire—she faces.

The narration was outstanding. Vanessa Moyen’s delivery gave Petra sharpness and vulnerability, while Troy Duran’s broody intensity made Dax come alive. Together, they captured the perfect mix of sensuality and suspense, amplifying the atmosphere beautifully.

My only wish? That this novella was longer. The ending left me with lingering questions, and I’d love to see it expanded into a full novel.

Spicy?

Simple story that seems to want to be more than what it is…. I personally don’t agree with the title because it’s really not spicy when compared to other spicy stories.
