There is a warning at the beginning of this short story, and it is deservedly there. This is beyond extreme horror, beyond splatterpunk. This would be considered Hardcore Extreme Horror fiction. There is a lot of rape and extreme sadism. This is not for the faint of heart, or the easily upset.

I'm giving this 2.5 stars rounded up to a 3. This was almost too much for me. Although I really liked the ending, like a lot.

Ya this is a rough one to read. If any sort of SA or rape bothers you, don’t read this. This is pretty extreme.

I kinda wanted a little more to the ending. It fell just a little flat to me.

"Hey there, fellow lovers of the macabre,

So, I just finished diving headfirst into Rayne Havok's "XXX," and let me tell you, it was quite the ride. This book became part of our quirky tradition—I read to my husband during our road trips, kind of like my own little tax. And let me say, he was hooked from the get-go, diving into Havok's world for the first time.

Our reading sessions turned into a whole experience. He got so into the story that he wanted me to keep reading, even suggesting I continue in the waiting room at the doctor's office. Yeah, no thanks. Safe to say, Rayne Havok's books have become a must for him now.

Now, about "XXX" itself. Picture this: Xavier busts out of prison, stumbles upon this eerie house in the middle of nowhere, and meets a mother and her two daughters. Then things start getting seriously messed up when the dad comes home. Oh, and the mom? Let's just say she's got some wild ideas.

Without giving too much away, this book is dark. Like, seriously dark. If that's not your thing, maybe give it a pass.

And hey, remember, I'm not here to boss you around. Google's always there if you need more info.

Get ready to take a trip into the madness.

E"

Disturbing , but well written. Xavier meets his match after deciding to take his brutal desires out on three unexpected victims. In the end he was at the mercy of those same unexpected women. He got what he deserved and for that 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. 

I did get nauseous from the trophy scene 🤢 and it’s not for the faint of heart at all. Just keep saying it’s a book if you want to push through.

First of all do not read this book if you have triggers. The book is from page one filled with triggers ranging from SA and R word but the twist…oh so good…I wish this kind of revenge would be possible. Great fast paced story
