WTF?!!? What the hell did I just read?!
I'm almost not sure if that is in a good or a bad way, lol. Though the sheer fact I read the book in one sitting has to say something about it.
When you get some of the darkest, most depraved minds together to write a series of stories you know to expect a total mind-fruck of a book. Each story is linked to the previous one by a character within it. It must have taken one heck of a lot of planning and cooperation to produce this, so I'm both thankful and grateful to the authors for their time and effort.
This is dark, sick, twisted, wrong, perverse and downright unpleasant in all the ways that any connoisseur of darkness loves. It's a wonderful kaleidoscope of all things bad that literally domino together to produce one heck of a read.
My advice is to grab this whilst you can. These anthologies don't always stay around and this one is far too good to miss out on.

So fucked up and so genious how it comes to a circle!
Props to the ladies that came up with it and linked all the stories - also, they should really see a psychologist.

This book was insane because all of the characters in it were truly insane. I mean twisted and messed up killer type of crazy...and always in such different ways. Who knew there were so many ways for people to be messed up? But it sure was an interesting read. I actually loved how this whole thing was written. Each of the seven stories took less than ten minutes to read and were all by different authors. Each one followed a different character or two, but they all were linked together to form one whole story. It was a pretty fun way to read it. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the end. Oh, that was a twist I never saw coming, but I still don't understand why any of this was done. We're told this is the outcome they wanted, but not not their reasons. Which, sure, probably doesn't really matter, but at this point I wanted to know why all these people had to die.

What a mad menacing journey of insanity.
This was a compilation of some of my favourite authors each telling a story involving a different character that adds on and builds in momentum until we arrive at the eventual conclusion.
Amazingly well done and executed in such style: each offering flowed seamlessly into the next.
This is a dark and decadent rabbit hole we are descended into where nobody inside these pages is entirely sane and each is battling their own personal set of demons and in most cases here revelling in their perversities with absolute relish.
There is almost a three degrees of separation rule here: where every action has a reaction and so forth the effect rippling down until all are affected to some degree: for the most part controlled by one puppet master: it really was genius.
This really rocked the boat into where it explored and just for info this is not a romance: what it is a dark and twisted tale with a huge dash of criminal insanity: it's definitely unique and in a class all of its own.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Die My love
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

An original concept for me, each chapter written by a different author, each in a different character point of view. It’s dark and each chapter adds another layer of mayhem and depravity, connecting the characters and building a perfect storm of a story. A brilliant showcase for all the authors involved which has made me definitely want to one click other stories by them.

This was a super quick and super fun read! It was pure madness and I loved it. From one story to the next, I was busting around one dark corner only to be immersed in shadows. There was so much darkness, depravity, and disease. Well, disease of the mind anyway. I enjoyed the way that each story bled into the other, linking characters and creating drama in a seamless and yet chaotic fashion.
There's a wife who slowly (quickly) loses her mind, the disgusting doctor who wasn't interested in helping anyone but himself, the seemingly prince charming who was a necrophiliac in disguise, and the people who orchestrated it all. Death and destruction... that's what this collection is about and I think anyone who likes a bit of horror/weirdness in their lives should give it a go.
