II did not want to put this book down at all! This book makes you feel like you are in the book as the main character witnessing as he is! Slick the main character seems to have shitty luck and has a tough life. While panhandling he comes across a woman who smells divine from there he becomes obsessed with her smell as If It his drug of choice. Little does he know what chasing this “high” has In store for him.

I can’t believe I didn’t read this when I got it. It’s a must read for me!

This story had me getting anxiety in all the best ways!!! Definitely the epitome of wrong place at the wrong time or maybe even right place at the right time to learn just how messed up you are in the face of extreme stress and violence. I thoroughly enjiyed this story and look forward to other stories by this author. This was the most violent episode of Jerry Springer and it was great!!!

This was brutal! I didn't read the synopsis at all, just went into this without any expectations other than knowing it was extreme horror, and I didn't see the twist coming at all.

I know I've ranted about this many times before, but so much of the extreme horror I've read has been poorly written with very bland characters and predictable plots that rely on grossing the reader out more than telling a story, so I'm always extra impressed when I pick up an extreme horror book and find depravity and successful story-telling. 😂

I digress, but that combo is what I got from A Crack in the Foundation. None of the characters are lovable by any means, but they feel more or less authentic and it makes the punches hit a little harder. The gore is gross and brutal, but it enhances the plot instead of burying it. This definitely isn't for anyone who's uncomfortable with graphic violence and SA, but if you're okay with that content, it was a really good read and I'm excited to read more from this author.
