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!

This is so bad like edgy bad. Like this is just shock and trying to hit every mark out there. I really felt nothing for the characters and this really reads of man writing sex in the modt man way possible. A real snoozefest. I wanted it to be done asap.

Tried so hard to be cool and edgy. The revenge part feels so lazy and rushed. Obviously wanting to draw out the worst sexual parts down to women being abused. Not a fan

Don't get me started with how this is very straight guy attempts writing a womam that sleeps with woman that ticks all the checkboxes of some guys wet dream of girls liking each other only for it to be doomed. 

I've found better extreme horror than this. I'm disappointed to say the least.

Holy hell.... first book that has made me physically uncomfortable, not gonna lie. Absolutely incredible, though. The satisfaction at the end was phenomenal. Immediately bought the next book

I know I was close to the end. It’s just…. So bad. It’s so bad. The misogyny. The unnecessary shock that doesn’t land as shock. I know people like this. It’s just too fucking much. There was a line about nipples that absolutely made me believe this man has never seen a real boob.
