Imagine a psychotic 'nice' guy with incel behaviour writing an erotica trying to appeal to women. That's it. That's the plot. I've read Tumblr posts better written than this. Very much worded in a middle schoolers way with short to the point sentances trying to fill up a school essay. Unenjoyable plot, writing, characters, and overall vibe. Sometimes it's ok take commissions from weirdos on the internet because at least it's not public.

I wouldn’t really call this extreme horror. The story was interesting enough to want keep reading it but the gore and such was pretty mild. Definitely some gross out scenes but i didn’t find them that extreme.

CW: kidnapping, blood, violence, murder, bodily fluids, sexual content, rape, fatphobia, body shaming, incel nonsense (this part the author did really spot on, honestly. half a star for that. another half star for being short and the ending scene making me laugh in a good for her kind of way)

this is not extreme horror. this feels more like the author started writing a kidnapping erotica from the kidnappers pov, but then realised it was close to Halloween so wanted to throw in some gross scenes to hopefully make people scared. you occasionally get uncomfortable, and the last scenes made me laugh, but again, this isn't extreme horror. no matter what the synopsis says. It's just an erotica writer trying to be gross for the sake of being gross but kind of failing. imo, of course.

also the authors note on the back of this one is kind of hilarious: "this book is disgusting, and you probably shouldn't read it"

you were right. I probably shouldn't have read it, but mostly because it's just bad 🤷🏻‍♀️

Page 1+2… then it only gets more grim from there. You know it’s bad when the author warns you not to read the book in the blurb. Although once the worst is out the way I can kinda see how hard he’s trying and his sweetness. Do not mistake this for a romance though, it is a 100% horror

This was....not great. Liked Jessie as a final girl just fine, but the whole thing felt pointless. Lots of grammatical errors and things as well.
