Hillary: Flesh and Blood by Angel Gelique
5.0
Hillary: Flesh and Blood gives readers Hillary's backstory, who we first meet in Hillary: Tail of the Dog. She is a beautiful, innocent looking teen, but that is only in appearance. In the first installment we learn just how sinister Hillary can be, and witness the twisted behavior she is capable of. Flesh and Blood gives you a glimpse of how Hillary became the person she is today. This story depicts how a father's actions altered his daughter's life, and the way she decided to compensate for the abuse. If she had not experienced the abuse she received at home, she just might have turned out differently. We find that the pattern of abuse did not begin with Hillary. The one person she expected to help her also suffered at the hands of her father, and their denial of the situation causes Hillary to fall deeper into despair. Hillary then resorts to other methods to voice herself and regain a sense of power.
Angel Gelique continues her bold storytelling, and touches on topics few want to, or prefer to ignore. You will likely not read a book like hers for a while! Flesh and Blood is a great read which holds your interest. Some scenes are cringeworthy, but in a good way... in the "I can't believe this is happening" kind of way. I could feel the anger and hatred Hillary felt towards her family, as well as her anguish that no one was coming to her aid. This book had me emotionally vested, to the point that I wanted to scream at Hillary to confide in someone who wasn't a family member so her suffering could end. If you are tired of reading the same kind of book over and over again, read this book! You definitely will not be bored.
