Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are Reviews

I don't even know why or how this book came under my radar 🤷♀️ but one look at the cover, a read of the blurb I kind of #oneclicked on Amazon and dived right in, now I have to decide what to rate this!!
This was so f🙊cked up!! Just when I thought this story was going one way it flipped me on its axles and went a whole new level of wtf was that kind of book. And honestly I don't even know what to rate this, many peeps enjoyed it, maybe it's me, maybe this genre (horror) just isn't my jam.
This is broken up into 3 parts, the 1st part I really enjoyed and liked how it was all unfolding, two best friends cover up a murder, then we're thrown into the 2nd part (halloween night) and I thought ok drugs are making her see things, do things out of character, then I reach part 3 and I'm like f🤷♀️ck me backwards this whole book just went through the twilight zone and flipped me out. And that ending wtf was that!!
Soooo I'm going to give this one 3 stars. -
I know I can always count on Harleigh Beck for a thought provoking, twisty-turny read to fracture my brain a bit. Every single book I’ve read of hers has left me bereft of…well, everything as soon as I turn those last pages. Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are is no exception. As I sit to write this review, all I can think of was the shocked blankness I felt after that epilogue.
Harleigh, I salute you.
You’re not getting a synopsis from me, read the blurb. There’s nothing I can say about the plot without ruining everything, so you’ll just have to trust me when I say this story unfolds in a beautifully horrifying way right down to the final words. You want wtf? You’ll get wtf.
Psychological horror is a genre that I will always gravitate towards, because the mind is a scary, yet enthralling place. Beck penned this tale after experiencing a nightmare and I felt that uncertainty and fear seeping through the pages. Why does our psyche love playing tricks on us? What if what we believe to be real is really just a figment of our own shattered minds?
Scary, isn’t it?
And, of course, this wouldn’t be a Back tale if it didn’t involve copious amounts of delicious, filthy smüt, excessive bloodletting and plenty of nail-biting action. You get all of the above in spades. Hearts racing, cores throbbing and hands forever painted red should be her new motto.
What an incredible book to finish off the year with. Whether you’re a seasoned Beck pioneer or you’re looking to get your first taste, you can’t go wrong with Come Out, Come Out Whevever You Are. She promised a mindf*ck, and she delivered. Loved this one to pieces.
Note: This is *not* a romance, so please keep that in mind. And check those warnings, this is a dark one. -

Huh. That was messed up. Interesting, chaotic and some serious messed up stuff. I thought Nate was a demon or something back from the dead. The truth was a lot more screwed up. Bit rapey, murder, blood and all that stuff. Looks like Halloween came early. Given the ending, it didn't make sense that there was a Nate POV. One of those ones where you get to the end and go, oh. -
First off...What the actual mind fork? If you're into psychological horror spicy books - then this book will leave you wondering in the darkness of your soul trying to figure out this quick read, twisted, action packed, and reeling story.
One night of drinking and bad mistakes leaves Skylar in a bad way. Harleigh did not disappoint. It's labeled as horror and while there's plenty of graphic horror, it's not the scary edge of your seat, it's more if the white knuckled, page turning, psychological horror.
There was only one aspect that I figured would happen, but the rest of the book has left me in a tailspin of emotions. I didn't expect that ending...Just WOW!!!
Definitely read the trigger and content warnings because there's plenty of disturbing scenes, including the spice. I can't wait to read further books. Definitely a must read if erotic horror is something you enjoy. -
Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are did not work for me at all. There are so many little character inconsistencies, the story was not particularly engaging, and the tired use of mental health as a plot device just plain sucks. I do not think I need to waste a lot of words on this one. The best part about it was how glad I felt when it was over.
-
I was expecting a dark romance, but damn this story was wild and unexpected. The story is full of sex, gore, and drugs. The ending was good. I'll be reading more of Harleigh's books.

One year ago, on a rainy night, I made a horrible mistake.
A mistake that would haunt my every waking moment.
I accidentally killed Nate, the star quarterback.
Or so I thought.
Now he’s back from the dead.
Nothing will quench his thirst for revenge.
Not until my broken pieces lie scattered by his feet
and he’s inhaled my last breath.

What in the funky fresh hell did I just read (respectfully).
This book made me question my sanity throughout the whole thing, it's crazy. Just when you think you got the handle on something, the rug is pulled out from under you with no mercy. Harleigh Beck does such a great job at keeping your mind racing throughout the whole book as you try to piece together what is going on.
**THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE BOOK!!!** -

“I never saw you before. You were a boring and bland wallflower, but now I know what an evil, vile little thing you are. I can’t wait to break you.”
⚠️ Not a romance - you have been warned! Check TW/CW ⚠️
Holy shit, what did I just read?! This was a true mindfuck! My heart was racing, and my head was spinning, and I loved every second of it! There were so many “OMG, what is happening?” moments.
The way Nate said, “Little killer….” Gave me full-body shivers. Why was it so damn hot? The threat of violence, the carnal cravings? I couldn’t get enough.
If you love erotica mixed in with your horror stories, run to grab this twisted tale! -
If anyone knows how to write a plot twist is Harleigh fcking Beck!! This story was spooky and horror filled with elements I was not expecting. The spice was so hot. Nate is mouthwateringly evil and sinister and I loved his character so much. I loved the storyline and I loved the way Harleigh described every scene. I had fcking goosebumpsssss!! SO FCKING GOOD.
-
I am speechless. My head hurts. Goosebumps. Felt like I also was on drugs because What. The. F@&$. So dark but such good writing. LOVE me some good twists and turns but holy crap (in a good way) 😭🤯
I don’t know how I came across this book/author but she’s gooood! -
“My eyes will be the last you ever see.”
“Leave me alone,” I bit out, angry with myself for being this affected by him.
Cupping my chin, his long fingers dug in until I whimpered. “I never saw you before. You were a boring and bland wallflower, but now I know what an evil, vile little thing you are. I can’t wait to break you.”

Are you ready?
The Wolf is coming.He dug his finger into my forehead, his eyes darkening like an inbound storm on the horizon. “You can’t hide in here forever. I’m hunting you, Skyler, just like the fucking wolf in your own made-up fairytale.”
Please read TW’s before starting this book. Your mental health matters.“Did you think it was over, little killer? That I would stay buried?”

I lobe more horror elements and this did not disappoint at all.
I went in completely blind and was pleasantly surprised, KU recommendations for the win.
This book was so visual I genuinely could
Imagine the entire thing like a movie in my head.
Nate is absolutely insane but that’s okay🤭
The twist and turns had my neck hurting, never let them know your next move should be harleigh becks tagline because wow.
Ate this up but please check tw/cw! -

As I type this review out, I'm standing here like 🧍🏾♀️ Because this story took me somewhere else entirely and I could not stop reading🙂↔️
As I get into more horror stories, this book grabbed my attention with the gore and horror aspects of this story which made it even more addicting to read! It pushed the boundaries of any other story that I’ve ever read and I truly loved EVERY SECOND of the craziness. Harleigh really knows how to create that environment of suspense and anxiety which is what I felt reading the entire time, & I literally cannot stop thinking about this story & the ending!!😩
I’m on a mission to read her entire back log because I simply need to read the rest of her stories now. This book has made its way to my top reads FOR SURE!
I need mooooorre😈🖤 -

Honestly… I’m not even sure what just happened or how I feel about it 🫣
One thing I know is this book was an freakin trip. An absolute mindfuck. 🤯
After a terrible car accident that results in Skyler killing (or so she thought) the star quarterback, she is surprised to see him back from the dead & seeking his revenge in some dirty & depraved ways.
Broken into three parts that only get more crazy & confusing. I didn’t know what was going on by part three but I was hanging on every word. This is no romance. It’s a straight up erotic, psychological horror.
Go in blind & have some fun 😜🔪 -
Amazon Review 6/1/2024
When reading a Harleigh Beck novel you expect a particular kind of delightfully twisted storytelling that gets your heart racing… for all the reasons.
Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are held me captive in such a way that I was tempering between being in the moment and yet wanting to race ahead, to only then slam on the breaks and gasp in breathy titillation and oftentimes horrified surprise - utterly brilliant mind fvck material!
An erotic psychological horror/thriller, the characters are fleshed out into living, breathing souls that ensnare and capture you in varying degrees of chokehold as the story unfolds. With thought provoking snares and a roller coaster flare when you’re least expecting it, Beck’s style is woven in such a beautifully organic way and ensures that the thrills will chill you bone deep whilst the pitch-perfect dark smut leaves you questioning your level of depravity… some will anyway!
Now rating high up as one of my favourite horror reads for 2024 thus far… This is one of those books that I’ll most definitely come back to time and again; in my head, on the page, in my dreams - it’s consuming.
Be mindful of the ‼️TRIGGER WARNINGS‼️ - as it’s said, your mental health matters, so do your research before proceeding… and once you do, enjoy! -
Well that was a wild ride and I loved every part of it! ♥️ I received the ARC today and had to dive in directly since it was a short read I knew I could finish it in one sitting and I was right.
One of the trigger warnings included: "Don’t read this book unless want to turn the last page and think, “What the fuck was that?”" and it did not disappoint!
As promised this wasn't a romance but pure horror erot!c and it was done so well. Damn, Harleigh, this might be the best one I've read so far from you. The story unfolded so amazing and then the twists and turns? Just *chef's kiss*
There were a few things I just didn't like personally (like a few nicknames that were used that killed the vibe for me) which I will not get into much detail with. I still enjoyed the plot and the twists and the spice 🥵
If you are into very dark, gory, erot!c horror please go check out @author_harleighbeck ! She is an amazing human being and a great author.
Please check the trigger warnings before you read any of her books and be aware that they are not suited for everyone! -
did I question my sanity while reading this? absolutely because i loved every single second on this book and you bet your sweet asses i’ll be reading way more harleigh beck after this omg.
this was definitely not a romance story, but it was hot and it was horror and omg. Its a whole different experience, that’s for sure.
THAT ENDING? PART 3??? i was shook. i was gobsmacked. i kept saying every little thing to my boyfriend because i was like “WHAT?” -
Please read TWs BEFORE reading!!
So, starting off... this is NOT romance. It is horror erotica. If you want romance or an HEA, this isn't the boook. I can't remember how many times I said, "wtf?" while reading this. I don't want to give a lot away, but this is one dark and twisted book where the writing is amazing, and the vibes are immaculate.
Thank you, Harleigh Beck, for the ARC. All opinions are my own. -

IM UNWELL!! HOLY SH!T! 🤯
This book took me on an unhinged roller coaster!
So many twists and turns I didn’t see coming!
"DID YOU THINK IT WAS OVER, LITTLE KILLER?
THAT I WOULD STAY BURIED?" -
Dude I don’t even know at this point this shit was weird. I would like if the author removed every sex scene from this book, although they did fulfill their intended purpose of making me deeply uncomfortable?? Not sure if I would give a good star rating for making me uncomfortable so I will leave this unrated. Anyways this book was weird as hell.
-
I am blown away with how twisted and insane this book was. I was shocked, confused, surprised and shocked again. I really enjoyed this book a lot, but I also have a lot of questions, which affects my rating. If I could, I’d give it a 3.5 star.
-
I don’t know how to feel. I think I may require therapy after this book. Rating to come, maybe.
Okay, I'm back. I've had some time to think and I've come to the realization that I really enjoyed the first 75% of this book, it would have been 5 stars. The spice was SPICING but unfortunately, the ending just didn't do it for me. Still need therapy. -
Wow. Just….wow. This book legitimately fucked me up. The amount of twists & turns & gaslighting… Im honestly STUNNED. I wish I had more to say but I’m literally still gathering my thoughts & scratching my head. Honestly… WTF did I just read ?! Every time I thought I had it figured out… just wow. I really can’t believe this was my first time reading a horror book. Thankful I was selected for this ARC read. It’s definitely one I’ll be thinking about for the next few days,
-
finally got around to reading this one and I’m so glad that I did. It was so different from things that I’ve read lately in that it’s not a romance at all and is an erotic horror with twists and turns and I felt so mind fucked reading it.
“I should have got my phone out and googled what it meant to have sexual nightmares about a guy I killed by accident. My therapist would salivate if I indulged him with this information.”
I loved the twist this book had for the ending and I’m pretty sure I caught myself with my mouth hanging open at the wtf of it all. This book is dark so as usual check the trigger warnings when you read this. Harleigh Beck has become one of my favorite authors and I’m so excited to read more by her in the near future 🖤🩸
This is one I will definitely end up rereading down the road. -
Unhinged

This was a freaking phenomenal mind fuck in the best way!
Seriously!
I’ll come back around to put my words down, after I collect myself. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
10/10 recommend!!!!!
Back again.
To start, Harleigh Beck is the Queen of mind F & twists, if you think you know something, trust me you do not!
I always go in blind, I skip the blurb on purpose, and I ate this up like freshly baked bread. (Yes, in fact that is something I devour, if I have any.)
Skylar - my woman, literally could do no wrong. She took me on a whirlwind tour, had me on the edge of my seat and kept me there till the very end.
Nate - How do I preface this, without spoiling. He didn’t walk, he ran to my top MMC list of 2023.
“If you say ‘truth’ and you lie, someone dies. If you choose ‘dare’ and fail, someone dies.”
5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
