I went into this book completely blind to what it was and based on title I was thinking it was going to be rather dark, and while some of the subject matter was bleak this was honestly a super fun little read. If you’re looking for horror maybe this isn’t exactly it but I found myself taken by this vigilante therapist and his escapades. 

It was silly, it was camp, it was ridiculous, I could definitely see why this is not the story for everyone but if you’re strictly a horror reader (like myself) and you want a little break in between books that make you feel bad/sad, this was surprisingly light hearted while still being gripping at points. 

I will definitely pick up the other two the next time I’m looking for a quick, ridiculous read.

The twist in the ending had me gripped, starting the second of the series in the same day. Almost reads as a series of vignettes that come together in the end. Could not put this maniacally thrilling story down!
