There’s a good plot buried DEEP underneath the unnecessary gore and shock value of this novella. The main character is twisted with an interesting backstory but she’s written poorly along with the rest. I know trigger warnings are presented by the author but I was not prepared for just how nonchalantly dark themes would be presented here. And the author makes gross generalizations about various addictions and mental illnesses. I will read the following book in the series as it is my understanding that it has little to do with this one. However, I am not expecting much.

It was recommended that I read this before Haunting Adeline. I’m a little shocked. Not my normal cup of tea, but that seems to be the trend with the last two books I’ve read now. I would say a solid 3/5 for the twist at the end. The rest of it I felt like I was reading just to get through it so I can read the next book. Not trying to yuck someone else’s yum, but not quite for me.

She’s a 10, but she gang b*ngs 5 imaginary men after murdering evil souls. 

Wow, whoopsie. Guess I fell down the rabbit hole. And I liked it. I usually say no pleasures are guilty in my world, but I may have to repent after these 180 pages. 

Sibby, my little delulu psycho, I love you so. She’s an icon, a legend, beauty, grace, and Ms. United States. I ate it up. Those group scenes were complete sin and filth. I got what I was looking for and THEN SOME.

“You’re not normal?”....
 “The interesting people never are.... "

This book was delightfully disturbing. Sibil gives Harley Quinn vibes but more unhinged. Quick read but such a wtf roller coaster. Chock full of triggers so proceed with caution.

5.0

I hadn't read anything about this book before reading but I had seen Haunting/Hunting Adeline everywhere.
The first chapter had my jaw on the floor .
The detail in this book is unmatched by anything I have ever read.
This is the first horror I have ever delved into and It was incredible, I didn't really know where the story was going to go and THE TWISTS!! 
Just brilliant.

I wish this book went more into detail about HOW Sibby killed get father and escaped the cult, we never get a complete story about her past which frustrated me.

Honestly if you have read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline just skip this book. You get more of an insight to Sibby’s storyline but it could have been it’s own chapter in Haunting Adeline. There is not really any additional information that is helpful to the story.
