Can I say SMOKING and super creative!!! This book went from hot and sexy to holy shit in no time. The concept of this book had me shocked towards the end. It was very well thought out and when all the pieces fell together they fell together nicely. I thought I did have it figured out but boy was I WRONG! This is my second book from Carver Pike and it will not be my last. He had a nice flow with his writing that makes his book easy to read and follow!

This book felt all over the place and might have been a good story if teased apart better. We have a horror book that is also very sexually graphic, so I'm not sure if I was supposed to be scared or turned on...or maybe turned on from being scared (not sure). My first thought after seeing someone die would not be to go back to the house and to get turned on by seeing my sister getting railed by a scarecrow (I get it, Daisy was in some sort of trance). But come on...weird quotes: "Blood was caked on my leg...did he suck the blood and cartilage from my pussy?" and a tear from her vagina to her anus...this is not sexy or horrifying - just gross. Overall, the plot was there, but I think the author should have just stuck to one genre.

Anything Carver Pike writes, I'm interested in in reading. Shadow Puppets: Scarecrows of Minnow Ranch by Carver Pike was dark, smutty, and intruiging. Although short, I could see the basis of the storyline, and I liked the little nod to the Diablo Snuff world with the lockets Daisy and Dawn wore. The smut was good, buuuuuut I could've done with more. Carver Pike has broken me to where scary, filthy smut is something I've grown to love. Could've been longer, could've been more fleshed out, but love this all the same.
4/5.
