Beautiful Nightmare

Scared Sexy Collection

By: Katee Robert

Narrated by: Andi Eloise

For one awkward sleep paralysis demon, scaring humans should be simple—except Gemma’s first solo haunting goes hilariously wrong in this tantalizing dream of a short story by New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert.

When Gemma’s supposed to terrify her appointed victim, she ends up captivated instead. Caleb, a romantic who believes in all things supernatural, finds her adorably pink-skinned, horned form more alluring than alarming. But as their steamy night unfolds and unexpected feelings bloom, Gemma must choose between her demonic duties and the human who makes her feel anything but monstrous.

Katee Robert’s Beautiful Nightmare is part of Scared Sexy, a deliciously dark collection of Halloween romance where things that go bump in the night might just steal your heart. These seductive stand-alone stories blend chills and heat in the perfect Halloween treat—each designed to be devoured in one sitting.

Quirky, fun and awkward

As some reviews have stated this was a fun adult spin off of Monsters Inc but with demons. The MCs were awkward and funny. Quick easy read.

Hilarious and heartfelt

Katee hit all my emotions! And Andi Eloise is the QUEEN of RomCom. Now they have the Horror RomCom genre title!

Beautiful Nightmare

Cute, fast read.

Gemma and Caleb’s interactions had a fun, flirty energy that felt a little like Monsters, Inc., but definitely for adults.

While I appreciated the humor and the inventive premise, I couldn’t fully connect with the story overall—it just wasn’t for me. That said, if you enjoy short, steamy Halloween-themed romances with a quirky supernatural twist, this could be a fun little treat.
