I should probably find a better method of reviewing these kind of books because it’s always a struggle. How do you rate something like this with stars? It was grotesque and fucked up and made me want to take a shower with bleach to burn out my eyeballs. But ya know it’s also about vengeance and taking out the trash so it doesn’t feel completely desolate. I don’t know why I didn’t realize this was the same Talia from Billy Silvers so, ya know, good for you girl.

This book grabbed my attention from the first line and didn't let go until the blood soaked end! I loved Talia as a character and cannot wait to see what she does next. I couldn't put this book down and what a journey it took me on. A brutal revenge story that will turn your stomach in all the right ways.

GOOD FOR HER. I went into this book not knowing anything about it, which I think is the way to go. This book was amazing and especially gory.

From start to finish this is a fun ride, I love the time the author takes to make you feel for Talia. This one can be very graphic at times in a variety of ways not just with its kills, but if you enjoy a well written horror story pick this one up!

This book was brutal. I love splatterpunk. Unfortunately though with the genre, spatterpunk, you are met with poor storytelling and gore. Talia was not that. It was well written with the perfect amount of gore! 
***Slight SPOILER below ***

Lots of snuff graphic imagery. I typically don’t like creature horror but this was a delightful revenge creature feature!
