The story held my interest because I wanted to know what was going on and what was going to happen. It didn’t rate well with me because of the jumps back and forth between numerous sets of people, third person point of view and several unanswered questions at the end.
If you like dark horror stories, you might just like this one. It’s not the darkest book I’ve read but check trigger warnings should you need to.

This book has so many moving parts.
A tornado.
Storm chasers.
A couple of police officers.
A daddy man
A living doll
A demented teen
And plenty of 'normal' (not abducted/ abused) teen girls.
The beginning didn't grab me, but I stuck it out and I don't regret that.
There's not much torture/ abuse in the book . It's more of the aftermath of how it affected the abused victims.
There was one shocking revelation that came out of nowhere and literally made me laugh out loud. (Bitsy and her dresses!)
And thanks to this book, I now know the name of 1 American Girl Doll.

I was so pleasantly surprised with this book!
Daddy’s Little Girl was shockingly dark and twisted. Gruesome, graphic, and gory created the perfect dark tale to get lost in.
At first I was a bit confused, trying to keep all of the characters straight and their stories in line, but it didn’t take long for everything to come together.
Daddy’s Little Girl is absolutely not for the faint of heart and probably should come with a trigger warning. (Feel free to message if you’re worried about this one being an issue for you!)
William Malmborg has definitely put himself on my radar with this one. I really hope there’s a sequel of some sort to this book because I need more!

The book is a bit uneven and pacing slows down especially when the point of view is not Misty and Bitsy. The rest of the casts are bland and forgettable.
However, when the point of view did change it was hard to put down. I think the author nailed how alien these characters thought pattern were as they were both naive and violent.

Though I am a fan of the writing style William Malmborg presents, I find this book not holding my attention. I'm not very sensitive to murder, rape, torture, etc. but *spoiler alert* when I read that the daughter burned her "toy", the toy being another girl, with lit cigarettes during games in areas including her vagina...I found I just can't keep going. A big part of it is also that the chapter jump character points of view frequently and I find that annoying. I'm not saying the book is bad, hence the neutral rating. Jimmy was great, and I am enjoying Nikki's Secret right now, this one just didn't work out for me.
