Dark AF
I was so pleasantly surprised with this book!
Daddy’s Little Girl was shockingly dark and twisted. Gruesome, graphic, and gory created the perfect dark tale to get lost in.
At first I was a bit confused, trying to keep all of the characters straight and their stories in line, but it didn’t take long for everything to come together.
Daddy’s Little Girl is absolutely not for the faint of heart and probably should come with a trigger warning. (Feel free to message if you’re worried about this one being an issue for you!)
William Malmborg has definitely put himself on my radar with this one. I really hope there’s a sequel of some sort to this book because I need more!

If not for the characters of Misty and Bitsy, this book would not rate more than 3 stars.
The book is a bit uneven and pacing slows down especially when the point of view is not Misty and Bitsy. The rest of the casts are bland and forgettable.
However, when the point of view did change it was hard to put down. I think the author nailed how alien these characters thought pattern were as they were both naive and violent.

Though I am a fan of the writing style William Malmborg presents, I find this book not holding my attention. I'm not very sensitive to murder, rape, torture, etc. but *spoiler alert* when I read that the daughter burned her "toy", the toy being another girl, with lit cigarettes during games in areas including her vagina...I found I just can't keep going. A big part of it is also that the chapter jump character points of view frequently and I find that annoying. I'm not saying the book is bad, hence the neutral rating. Jimmy was great, and I am enjoying Nikki's Secret right now, this one just didn't work out for me.

This was such a gritty, creepy and scary read. I was on edge the whole time. Read it in one sitting.
One of the best thrillers I’ve read.

krystala's review against another edition
This was a crazy story but missing some things at the end. I wanted to see how Lindsey and Katie coped with what happened. Lindsey’s father was not only shot in the head but gutted by something. Where did Lindsey end up living? Also, what happened to her boyfriend? That was totally left out. How did Katie end up doing knowing everything that happened? Overall though it was a crazy book. Sick things for those teens to have to go through, that’s for sure. The man definitely did not get what he deserved, just dying in the twister. He deserved so much more and the families deserved more justice. All that was left were two victims that were victims in a different way. It was graphic in the way that they didn’t shy away from telling you what was going on. It made you definitely feel mixed feelings on Mitsy. She will live the rest of her life institutionalized but how could she ever change? I don’t think she can.
