Story moves along at brisk pace, but does little to expand on the movie by the same name. In this case, the movie is truly better than the book.

Just like the movie
I have the DVD of the movie that was based off this novella and I watch it every Halloween! I did not know that there was a book, so I was so excited when I found it. Thinking back to the movie, they stuck very close to the novella. I could basically play the movie and see the scenes in my head as I was reading. I could even picture the actors as their respective characters. Glad I found the book and I would encourage horror movie fans to watch the movie as well.

I am going to start off by saying I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily on my own accord.
Thank you BookSirens and Jeffrey Reddick for allowing me to read Tamara early. This quick story totally brought me back to my love of cheesy horror movies and books the more and more I read of it. I grew up loving Fear Street and such but this book is a bit more graphic than Fear Street and somethings do happen makes you go wow. And it was not done for shock factor, more so it fit the story since Tamara is seeking out her vengeance on people who wronged her. Tamara is your typical horror character that goes from the bottom of the totem pole to a crazy psychopath. I did have a feeling I knew where the story was going to go, but there was still some things that did catch me by surprise which was nice. If you do like quick little thriller stories and love classic cheesy horror movies you should read this story at least once. It is only 179 pages which makes it a quick read.

Thank you to Encyclopocalypse Publications and BookSirens for providing a review copy.
Tamara is a whole lot of fun! I vaguely remember seeing the movie it was based on when it came out, but I pretty much didn't remember anything going into the book. I do love a good revenge story, and this one is cheesy, gory fun!
