Sure, it scared me back then, but now… It’s always there for me. I start talking to it like it's actually alive— —And then he invades my dreams.There, he's real—a surprisingly sexy, lanky, sad little clown man called Claus with a spring where his legs should be. But that doesn’t stop him from using that painted smile of his to bring me more pleasure than I’ve ever known. Then he tells me he can join me in the real world—just one he needs a human sacrifice. …I'm seriously considering it, if it means I can bounce on more than just his coil.This is a sentient object dark romance featuring a possessed Jack in the box, an incredibly unlucky FMC, bucket of violence, extremely jacked up sex scenes, manipulation, and a content warning list long enough you oughta check it out just in case.

Look, I read some crazy shit. Sometimes I have a great time. Even when I realize the book is fucked up.
This was not that. This book was too much for me.
And I am not scared of clowns.
Anyway, it’s more like the damn Easter bunny book that still haunts me.
I am a glutton for punishment so I read the end and it was worse than I anticipated.
