While 'Full Brutal' was a stellar exploration of a steady slip into madness and excellently written, all I want to say is that I am afraid of everyone who wrote in their review that they 'relate to Kim' or 'love her'.

So as far as horror this gets a 5. However reading it wasn’t pleasant, hence the 2. I highly doubt it was meant to be, but I needed to take many breaks from seeing the world through Kim's eyes. Never encountered such a horrific person and hope to never again. The things Kim did was beyond deplorable. Her goal was to ruin lives just because and boy did she. The things she caused were horrendous and made it so hard to read at times. However, with all of that said I was determined to see how Kim's plans worked out! Will continue to follow Kristopher Tiana's work.

All that being said, it has been a year since I have read it and talk about this book ALL THE TIME.

Hands down the most fucked up and disturbing book I have ever read…weirdly brilliant. 

I always find it hard to give a star rating for books of this nature due to the excessive gruesomeness, however, the main character’s manipulation techniques were a dark genius and the pace of the book was perfect to keep you wanting to know what would happen next. 

Only downfall was that I felt there was no backstory to how the main character developed their ‘interests’. It was like she just woke up one day and became evil.

If Regina George was a cannibal sadist.

The characters were very textbook and cliche in ways where you just think no one acts like that. Kim was very much… written by a man. These aren’t necessary bad things just something to note. 

Kim is fun and as a reader you get the most bang for your buck being in the POV of the antagonist. She’s a fucked up human being and reading about it is oh so interesting.

While a lot of gore happened, I found it a bit repetitive for the last chunk of the book up until the final showdown. 

Overall, it was good but not great. I’d recommend if you like splatterpunk.
