• Strong character development? It's complicated

4.0

Lots of child abuse and forced sexual interactions. very grusesome and anger-inducing because the whole time you are just wanting the killer to get murdered but thats what makes a good splatterpunk. gets you feeling strong disgust and anger. reminded me of the splatterpunk book no one rides for free, the first one. I kind of didn't like the ending because

the killer doesn't get brutally killed. He ends up basically getting away with it and doing it again or at least it is implied that he does it again right after.

3.0

I read this book on Kindle Unlimited, and I originally DNF'd and returned it before deciding that I should power through it to see what the hype in the splatterpunk reading community was about. This was a really difficult read for me based solely on the continuous and horrendous violence against children, and much of it felt gratuitous instead of plot driven, but I understand that's the whole point of shock horror. There were a couple of parts throughout where I think some dialogue blended into the narration, and it was a little confusing, but definitely still readable. I did end up finishing it, and it earned an extra star for the ending, which was a great cliffhanger and opener for a whole new story. This is one of those books I would urge people to research thoroughly before reading because it truly is depraved beyond a measure I was ready for. That being said, I understand why so many people say it's a staple in shock horror reading, and at least I won't suffer the fear of missing out.
