Slashers & Secrets: Hellcrest Heights Book 1 Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 625 ratings

From dark romance author who brought the Blackridge Prep Series.

Secrets are meant to be buried, until they aren't.
And Lakyn Ashford has the biggest secret of all.
She thought she could get away with it.
She should've known better.
I'd never allow her to escape so easily.
There is nothing more enjoyable than witnessing her crumble as I taunt her, trick her, and toy with her sanity.
Watching her fall apart is a game I'm destined to win.
I take my time with her, picking her apart, piece by piece, until she's at my mercy.
The smile behind my mask grows as she fears the slasher in Hellcrest Heights.
She pretends to be afraid of me, but at night, she falls to her knees as she bends to my will.
And I have only just begun.
I know Lakyn Ashford's biggest secret.
It's me.

    There are so many secrets, who is this masked slasher??? I devoured this book, couldn’t stop if I wanted to. Lakryn is a magnet for disaster. There is mystery, suspense, twists and turns at every page.

    This book ends on a cliffhanger and I was gob smacked.

    Love the scream/I know what you did last summer vibes

    I really wished this was RH because the vibes and energy between Lake and her boys is 🔥 kyler and archer favs👌🏻

    Not really feeling reign tbh even tho its looking like she's going to end up with him (nooooo)

    I have so many theories on who the slasher is

    Cannot wait for book 2

    Definitely a great read in time for Halloween.
    Actually makes me wish this was a RH and the bad guy became apart of it 😅😅

    This book was EVERYTHING!!! If you like Friday the 13th and I know what you did last summer, you’ll love this. With dark twists, spice and possessive men what more can you ask for. This does end on a cliffhanger!!! I can’t wait for the next book. Thank you A.R.Breck

    What a great book kept me on the edge of my seat and was soo good can't wait for the next book out

    Waiting for Quinn Blackbird's *Villains* and the new *Scream* to hit the cinema, and saw this gem...
    So I thought.
    I bought the paperback without reading the ebook. I hate myself now. So expensive in my country and NOT WORTH IT AT ALL.
    Garbage. Couldn't get past page 61. Then I went back to it later and skimmed a bit, and the cringe was REAL. Every guy is SO DANGEROUS. Every girl is SO HOT. And they are MY GUYS and they are THEIR GIRLS. sooooooooooo repetitive. Seriously most of the word count is "my guys and i'm theirs".
    I got it. You really don't need to repeat this every page for 60 pages.
    I wanted to return it *cry face*
    HATE HATE HATE
    ZERO STARS
    also makes no sense and has no suspense. no one is likeable and neither is tyhe writing

    Okay for starters a BLOODY CLIFFHANGER!

    On their annual Halloween night party Lakyn and her friends do something that can never be taken back, but it’s kept between them all, but you never know who’s in the shadows.

    A year later, Lakyn returns home to Hellcrest Heights, know one knows where she’s been all this time.

    Once she returns a masked slasher appears and threatens to share all their secrets from last year but Lakyn ignores it, until people start to get murdered.

    This book was dark, full of spice and hotness.

    I don’t know who I’d choose out of all the guys, so I’m unsure what that says about me.

    A must read if you love slasher movies.

    This book is a perfect setting for a horror movie or read. This book is a mystery that we have yet to solve. The cliffhanger leaves you 😮, it was quite intense. We also have several references from Lakyn and her crew for different horror movies such as;

    👻 I Know What You Did Last Summer
    😈 Scream
    🎃 an ode to Friday the 13th

    Honestly, the first book of this duet leaves you with so many questions! Lakyn had all the men of her crew obsessed and possessive of her. They are protective of ALL in the group, by Lakyn is special. Different. There is Creed who is with one of her best friends. There is Kyler who is touchy and possessive. Then we have Archer who attempted and failed a relationship with Lakyn. Finally we have Reign, the one who broke her heart, yet still has it.

    Reign is the one who is over the top. His jealously is strong and he is done sharing. Except he doesn’t know about Him. Lakyn and Him get close and 💥. We have no idea who exactly Him is. I have theories but for the life of me I cannot decide! The identity is revealed to Lakyn at the end, but not us. I cannot wait to find out who!!! Also, Him wants her dead, but after his feelings grew, he can’t decide. I can’t decide where this is going to go in regards to LAKYN and her love, but it makes it all the more interesting.

    I highly suggest this book, but if you can’t handle cliffhangers or intense mystery maybe way for book two of the duet to release!

    I have mixed feelings about this. The suspense was killer. Lakyn is supposed to be some kinda special, but she comes off weak, to me.
